  Second skin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The concept of a second skin is common to a range of clothing-related fetishes.
One reason why these materials may be fetishised is that the garment acts as a fetishistic surrogate for the wearer's own skin — a second skin.
In fur fetishism, the fact that the fur was originally an animal's skin and hair, and that it provides warmth and comfort.

Cantor had seen Navsaria's work in skin cultivation at an Expo in Hanover and thought he could bring hope to a city of 400,000 where the scale of the disaster, known there as 1/8, bore comparison to 9/11 in New York.
Where surgeons once covered burns with pig skin, they now apply cadaver skin as a patch, but this will eventually be rejected and has to be replaced with tissue grown from a patient's own cells.
Navsaria is excited at prospects for using adult stem cells to grow skin and hopes advances in understanding these cells could lead to better functioning tissues and applications in drug development with less animal testing.

Made of a rubber-type material, the second skin is an overlay for the mask which extends the time it is effective in a hostile area.
Before the addition, the masks had to be discarded after exposure to chemical agents, but with the second skin the masks may be used again by removing the skin after the decontamination process and replacing it with another.
While the actual protection levels of the masks and the second skin are classified, with or without the skin the masks provide wearers a high level of protection against chemicals such as blister and nerve agents, said Johnnie Kincaid, the program manger.

Randy and Lorraine Cameron's second child, Tori, was born in November 1998 with EB blisters covering 70 percent of her body.
It is the world's first bioengineered skin with these two layers: an epidermis, epidermal cells that from a protective layer to ward off infections, and a dermis, dermal cells that provide strength and elasticity.
It was the first study ever done comparing a tissue-engineered skin with real skin, and the results were even better than for chronic wounds.

In Second Skin, her virtuoso transformations shine through the world of theatrical masks, allowing the characters themselves to create a spirited world of obsession, desire and luminosity.
"Second Skin was without a doubt the highlight of our 2002 Theatre Festival," said Ron Surette, artistic director of Victoria's Belfry Theatre.
"The image of a second skin is evoked by masks themselves, as well as from the very human desire to be someone other than who we are," says Schirle.

 BBC - Films - review - Second Skin (Segunda Piel)
Even though Pedro Almodóvar was a major creative force in blowing away the severity of the Franco years, his films - like "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" - still caused shock-horror in the Spanish heartland.
"Second Skin", though by another director (Gerardo Vera), will almost certainly do likewise.
Like Almodóvar, Gerardo Vera kicks aside the Catholic certainties of conservative Spain as he delineates the instability of a marriage, specifically caused by a husband who is torn between his wife and another man.

NEW YORK -- A weepy, soapy Spanish melodrama about a romantic triangle involving a married couple and the male surgeon with whom the husband has a torrid affair, "Second Skin" is most notable for demonstrating the relative sophistication of European vs. American movie stars.
Most of the film's narrative is concerned with Alberto's desperate attempts to keep both his wife and lover as Elena becomes aware that her husband is having an affair and Diego becomes increasingly suspicious of Alberto's frequent unavailability.
Earnest and nearly devoid of humor or the spark of spontaneity, "Skin" is the sort of picture in which, whenever one of the characters has some serious soul searching to do, they go to a picture-perfect beach during sunset.

She co-wrote most of the songs on the CD, playing an especially major role in writing the lyrics, many of which were drawn from journals she had been keeping.

Second Skin's central location is a used bookshop where owner Sam Kane (Angus MacFadyen) indulges in dog-eared pulp in lieu of helping patrons.
Sure, Second Skin is convoluted trash (more plot twists than actual plot are crammed into its 90-minute running time), but its hard-boiled voice is too earnest to dismiss, and I recommend the film inasmuch as one can dime-store fiction/straight-to-video rabble.
Artisan's sparse disc presents the film three ways (1.85:1 letterbox, 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, and the rarely used pan-and-scan on the fly, which blows up the image to 1.33:1 fullscreen with disregard for side information) and allows you the viewer to toggle between them.
