Teen Girl Squad Winamp Skin

Being popular, much like being green, or other related activities, ain't easy. Everyone of a certain age has gone through the relentless pressure cooker of schoolyard hierarchy, and, for girls especially, navigating these shark infested social waters can often be a harrowing feat. And believe it or not, Winamp skins face much the same sorts of pressures that we did-or still do-face. Lets face it, it's gotta be hard out there for those Plain-Jane skins, with all those especially pretty skins preening and prancing around, showing off their nifty little features and nuances, and somehow always going to prom with the high school quarterback skin. But if your current Winamp skin is down in the dumps and feeling less than adequate next to all the beauty queens on the block, don't worry. With the help of a new skin, she slide seamlessly into the coolest clique of girls around-the Teen Girl Squad.

That's right, Homestar Runner fans, you're now just a click away from your very own Teen Girl Squad Winamp player. The skin, much like the online comic strip style, is stylistically simple, to an almost exaggerated extent. The entire interface looks like it was hastily handdrawn, with chicken scratch trapezoids outlining the Play button and childlike handwriting judiciously scattered throughout the display. The real beauty of the skin, though, lies in the details. The cursor is now an oversized pencil that, when hovering over the "x" button of the top right corner, cleverly reverses, so that it now clicks with the eraser side. And of course, a few characters are present in the "Equalizor-d" display, which, in keeping with the schoolyard theme, sports a college-ruled notebook paper background, against which are a few sketches of the girls wearing diva pins and $100 tags on their dresses. All in all, it's a clever and cute way to dress up your Winamp, so that regardless of the music you're playing, it'll always look "SO GOOD!"

One part genius. Three parts llama. And a sprinkling of corporate AOL. That's what Winamp is all about.
