Doggirls in Second Life: are they upon us?

I hope so, because calling a woman a “dog” gets a bad rap. Many dogs are beautiful creatures and endowed with positive traits: loyalty, tenacity, and more obedient than cats being some of them. It’s true there are ugly dogs, but the same is true of cats. Maybe cats are generally viewed as more feminine. But then again, I see catboys but characters resembling dogboys are often more fursute (not sic) than, say, a human with ears + tail.

There’s a sheer imbalance in the world’s catgirl/doggirl ratio: the former is a very popular subculture, including all manners of merchandise in Second Life, while the latter suffers from a neglected market. The latter lacks a Wikipedia page that the former proudly possesses!

Over a month ago, I twittondered:

There are so many catgirls (neko), but where are the doggirls?

Well, I’m pleased to share that MiaSnow Myriam, co-responsible for the Cult of Toast, has created the above gorgeous skin, whose fur looks so realistic that one might be concerned about shedding! With oodles of faves and comments, the interestingness factor is high — wowza, emotion. Also:

This follows more creative work (some content NSFW) she and close ally Sofia London have excelled at.
