Tyson Beckford For Ralph Lauren

"I thank God every day. That's all I can do. That, and try to help all those other guys who are trying to do what I did." -Tyson Beckford

After an actress & a supermodel, I decided to do a male sim. First person came to mind was Tyson Beckford, the first american black supermodel . Like me, (LOL) he is butch, bronzed & buffed! Anyway, Tyson is as real as they get when it comes to male models. Unlike his prima donna colleagues, he is keeping it real in a fashion world, where fantasy supersedes reality. Whatever that means.

And this 1995 VH1's Model of the Year is one of the most famous male models in the world, & is the anchor male model for Ralph Lauren & their Polo Sport line. Oh, if in any case you don't remember, which I doubt, he's that guy in a motorcycle which got slammed at Toni Braxton's video, "Unbreak My Heart".

I can hear you say "aaaahh. . . "

And here are the people whom I have to thank for. Roll credits!

Eyebrow, Lipstick & Eye Color:
Helaene (http://www.helaene.com/home.html)
* - Whatever I do, I always come back to you!

Eyeshadow:
Mermaid Cove (http://www.hairfish.com/mermaidcove/html/makeovers.html)
* - Very dramatic eyeshadows! Nothing theatrical.

Eyeliner:
Thesimssi2 (http://www.modthesims2.com/member.php?u=77758)
* - Even guys need some eye liner. Models, that is.

Blush:
Simsbysarhra (http://www.simsbysarhra.com/)
* - This is more like a bronzer. Sun-kissed. Never clowny.

Skin Tone:
Revoye (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthr...64&page=1&pp=25)
* - Your skins are the ONLY ONES which are realistic! I have downloaded & tried a million skins available but NOTHING & NO ONE makes it like you do! I really don't search for skin tones anymore. Your skintones fit every mesh there is. So R-E-A-L-I-S-T-I-C!

Hair Color:
Maxis Content
* - Hair was simple. Girls like them clean & shaven.

Beard:
Kagenuma (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthre...hlight=denpachi)
* -Somewhat like that of a goatee but not as much. Get it? Whatever.

Stubbles/Moustache:
Soularized (http://www.sims2.thesimsresource.co....php?mid=700136)
* - Just like 5 o'clock shadows.

Clothing:
cdpetee (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthre...=muscle+leather)
* - I like you recolors. Teach me, master. Teach me.

Mesh:
Marvine and Beosboxboy (http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=81470)
* - You know the S.O.P. Get the mesh so you could see it in the game. It's a must. He won't look good without this awesome mesh! Marvine & Beosboxboy, I am so grateful for these meshes you've made. Without you, I won't be able to sim myself! LOL. I'm working on it. Really, I am!

Cowboy hat:
Funnyycats (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthre...ight=cowboy+hat)
* - This cowboy is TOTALLY awesome! I actually wear a cowboy hat! Well uh, tis just that it's made of straw, but hey, THIS cowboy hat LOOKS SO COOL! I'm making a sim of myself & am actually going to put this on "me". But Tyson got it first. I wanted to recolor this to look like tis made of straw... but then again, I don't know how to. Oh well. this will do. I mean this is perfect!...but I do want the straw hat. *sniff* LOL. Thanks for this marvelous cowboy thingy! I LOOOVE IT! YEE-HAAW!

To all the guys mentioned above, a simple click on the "THANKS" button is never enough.
