Resources for Black Male Avis - skins and hair esp

[DeepBlueJoy]

Hi... I know how hard it is to find really nice stuff for men in general, but it seems to go double for black/African American avatars.  I'm trying to help a friend create a decent one that doesn't look like a caricature or a big 'monster' urban thug creature.  (truly hate that look)

Any suggestions that you might have would be appreciated.

Also looking for clothing that would appeal to someone who appreciate things from Africa and the Caribbean in particular.  NOT looking for the 'ghetto' or 'thug' look.  Looking for something a bit more refined - something friendly and pleasant but manly that a normal person would like to go around wearing.

Thank you much!

Try Unorthodox they seem to be the only store on SL that sells black hair.

Camo also for hair.  Stray dog does great skins for black men.  Check out Cake Day event for clothing and accessories.

As I don't see my avatar as an extension of myself, but simply a virtual shape shifter I love to style, I feel comfortable slipping into other ethnicities and thus hopefully show some variety on my blog. This is one of the black looks I recently did. You'll find all the credits in the link underneath the image in Flickr.
