A very enigmatic entry on The Fetishistas web site would imply that the groundbreaking fetish magazine is reducing its publication to a yearly anthology.

Nothing yet on the site itself, however, but we’ll follow this one closely.
(A tip of the hat to Garlor at |R|ubberist.net for alerting many of us to this item)
Update: There’s some clarification on the Skin Two forums from Ms May the webmaster:
A couple of people on various websites have announced that Skin Two is ceasing publication.
Just to make it very clear: The sort of bi-yearly magazine is now to be a yearly hardcover book, a collectible item. LateXtra will continue and Skin Two’s web presence will become stronger. There are a number of projects in progress which will be announced over the next few months.
Tim is away at the moment, when he is back he will make the official announcement.
So I’m relieved that the publication isn’t going away forever, but being the kind of nostalgic woman that I am, I will miss the excitement I used to get anticipating what the latest issue might contain. Our fetish is changing, and here’s one more tangible sign of the changes.
Skin Two, in it’s present form will be badly missed. By Mrs. CM and I anyway.
I was just reading a Skin Two back issue from ’04 and it was really a brilliant magazine. Commercially well put-up, beautiful imagary. Well-written articles and insights. The cover was so beautiful you could hardly leave it sitting on the shelve and the catchy phrases on the cover were incredibly witty (About the Las Vegas Bondcon convention; ” Bond girls; Tying the knot in Vegas”) What a shame for something so wonderful to dissapear. We’ll always have the back-issues, I guess.. Boohoo!
it was kind of expected as they have reduced the publications the last few years!
but is’s a shame as they were covering a lot of important issues besides the ‘scene’
Thank you for the positive comments about Skin Two. There are new projects in progress both on and off line, so there will be plenty to look forward to! Rachel May
