Hey everyone! This is my contribution to AkeAbbie's skin contest.

SO! This skin is a representation of the emperor from one of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. The tale goes as follows

A vain Emperor who cares about nothing except wearing and displaying clothes hires two weavers who promise him the finest, best suit of clothes from a fabric invisible to anyone who is unfit for his position or "hopelessly stupid". The Emperor's ministers cannot see the clothes themselves, but pretend that they can for fear of appearing unfit for their positions and the Emperor does the same. Finally the weavers report that the suit is finished, they mime dressing him and the Emperor marches in procession before his subjects. The

townsfolk play along with the pretense, not wanting to appear unfit for their positions or stupid. Then a child in the crowd, too young to

understand the desirability of keeping up the pretense, blurts out that the Emperor is wearing nothing at all and the cry is taken up by others. The Emperor suspects the assertion is true, but continues the procession.

It is a story I grew up with as a child, and have always found funny. I hope you like the skin and the story as much as I did.

Feedback is always welcomed
