Will the afro be available to both genders?

Unisex everything please. Just add bras to the shirtless options.

More than likely, though, they would have a slightly different appearance when worn by male characters, similar to all them crafting coatees/bottoms. In particular the bottoms, which are tight pants on men and miniskirts on women. The male unisex glamour sets already tend to look slightly different on female characters due to requiring to cover up them mammaries.

The male "bunny" set could easily just be a bowtie for men, and the fishnets could be butt-hugging trousers (or even hotpants, but I doubt they'd go that far -- especially as we already have the Lord's Drawers set to get that look). Still 'skimpy' and sexy, but definitely male the same way the traditional bunny suit is female.

It's not really so much an issue of people demanding "SAME APPEARANCE ON EVERYTHING", though some differences are just weird (looking at you, DRG AF1). It's more an issue of female characters getting way more glamour sets than male characters. Almost every time they release glamour sets in pairs, the female one is locked, and the male one is unisex. If that starts happening with hairstyles as well...? >.<

Edit: Regarding the outfits worn, I'm really hoping this is when they start living up to the promise quoted (and emphasized) in my signature ^^;

Like let's not lie to ourselves here, if they have male specific and female specific gear it's going to be the guys getting gear that's masculine and girls getting gear that's feminine, and to be honest that's boring and limiting. I shouldn't have to make a guy to wear a coatee that doesn't have sudden level of sex appeal between the two.

I mean what, no love for guys who want to wear dresses and girls who want to look cool?

(hint: it's probably not the new dress)

I'm not surprise at all. It's just comedical to see the complaints at this point about who can wear what.

I agree with you, and I would love for some of the skirts/dresses to be made unisex. But when it comes to the 'lingerie' category of wear (which I consider the bunny outfit to be, pretty much), male lingerie and female do look very different. And the male equivalent of the 'playboy bunny' is pretty much the chipendale(sp?) type of wear. So while I in general don't really like the whole 'looks different depending on your gender' deal, I understand the necessity for it in some cases. Skirts etc is another thing entirely, IMO.
But yeah, I'd love to see some coatees and bliauds that don't emphasize cleavage on female characters =/
And girls can look cool; just wear the male unisex outfit released alongside the female one ^_~

Doesn't the DRK body and some 50-60 bodies have Skirts for males or am I missing something?
