Freaks and Shrieks! An Avatar Contest!
Your Hosts: http://www.menewsha.com/img/56285/ae...d4e339f783.pngDariaMorgendorfer Hey folks! You may have seen me on such shows as "Beavis and Butthead" and MTV's "Daria". Now, I make my happy little home here on Menewsha, bring sarcasm and humor to all it's good little girls and boys. I am really looking forward to seeing what you all come up with! Helpful hints from Daria: Be creative! Originality goes a long way with me. I have a huge sense of humor, so if your avatar makes me giggle, you probably have a winner. Please no icky avatars (i.e. pain, torture, bloody, etc.) This should be fun so, above all else, have fun! http://www.menewsha.com/img/81884/96...cf692809ed.pngLinnea Yo, Linny here, your friendly neighborhood color coordinator. I've been around Mene for a while now and have come far in terms of colors and layers and I have learned from the best Mene has to offer. Now it's time to put my eye to good use! Show me colors and show me creativity! Do it and reap the rewards! Helpful hints from Linnea: Please, please, PLEASE remember to follow the directions! That being said, I really like to see clever ways of using items and neat ways of layering. Doing what everyone else is doing is boring. Be bold! Also for this particular contest, choosing an unusual color is better than looking a lot like everyone else [yes] http://www.menewsha.com/img/74343/00...18148645b3.pngneller Hey there, I'm neller and I'm all for a greatly themed avatar. I can be found searching Menewhsa for those avatars that make me laugh, gawk and wonder "how did they do that?" I love to learn what Menewshan's offer creatively and can't wait to see what ideas you guys can come up with! Creativity counts! Helpful hints from neller: I love to see items used in ways that they have never been used before! There is more to an avatar than the avatar itself, so always consider a background to match your theme! Item flow, consistency and layering are important, so make sure your items are in theme and look nice together! |

See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil
An Avatar Colors Contest It's my favorite time of year again, my lovely little goblins and ghouls! Halloween is all about creativity and I want to see what you all can do with a little freakish freedom [yes] The only colors allowed for this contest are: black, gray (that includes silver), white and only one shade of one color of your choosing... but that's not the tricky part! So you might be wondering what the title of this contest has to do with colors. Well, in reality, it doesn't buuuut there is one more requirement! Your avatar must be missing at least one of these things: eyes, mouth or ears (I know you can't unequip ears, so just hide the suckers with hair or an item or something). Per usual instructions, you must match your hair and eyes, as well as skin that can be equipped. So I think that's it this time. If there are any questions please ask. Good luck and I can't wait to see what you all come up with! See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil A Colors Contest Entry! Username: Image of My Entry: Quote:

But if the petals she calls up during certain songs happen to circle around you, you may just find yourself losing hours, or even days. She casts numerous spells with them, the simplest one being hypnosis and sleep. If she wants to keep you there listening to her music, you may not have the choice to leave. Username:~LONGCAT~ Image of My Entry:http://i.imgur.com/MiCSSPC.png Tell me about your FREAK SHOW:A thing in a jar, some old medical specimen. Truly deformed and bizarre. Wait!! Did that one blink!?!

Would you go to a freak show to see a real superhero? Kid: Nope. It could just be a guy in tights. Carnival master: What about to see zombie? Kid: Maybe. They're always fun, but the same moaning and gurgling is getting a bit old. Carnival master:How about a potato? Kid: You're kidding, right? *turns to leave* Carnival master: Ah, wait! What about a Super Zombie with a sack of Potatoes? Kid: *turns back* A what?! Carnival master: You heard me, kid. Never seen one those, have ya? Kid: Can't say I have. Carnival master: Well, then it's you're lucky day! Come on in and have a look at one of the wonders of the world! A Super Zombie who loves Potatoes. She's virtually invincible. She can't feel pain 'cause she's, you know, dead and she can grow back limbs if she loses one 'cause of her spectacular- Opps! Better not talk about that. It's a secret. But, between you and me, those aren't ordinary potatoes *winks* Kid: Oh, boy! I'll go fetch my friends! Username:GummyBearKisses =) Image of My Entry:http://www.menewsha.com/forum/pictur...ictureid=58847Tell me about your FREAK SHOW: Ladies and gents over on our main stage feast your eyes upon the hottest bachelor you will ever see. It's HELL BOY, born outta wedlock he's the son of Satan and his mother was a wild woman a real life wilderbeast. With skills of spontaneous combustion this dude is one hot tamale. =) Reference pic (optional) Username: KatMagenta Image of My Entry: http://i.imgur.com/iCD7QJa.png Tell me about your FREAK SHOW: There are those who say he must be supernatural or a visitor from... the other side. Some say he was a normal man- just like you and me- until one day his muscles simply wasted away. All your humble host can do is invite you to marvel at the wonders of a Living Skeleton! Reference pic (optional) Based on Isaac W. Sprague "The Living Skeleton" Username: XoGIZMOoX Image of My Entry: http://i59.tinypic.com/w6qicp.jpg Tell me about your FREAK SHOW: Hairietta is a well known lady. Some call her the bearded woman while others call her the local drunk. No one knows why this freak loves soo much hair. Maybe it's hormones. Maybe she thinks it's a kitty. Maybe she is too lazy to buy a razor. Whatever the case may be one things for sure she sure loves to get drunk and run around nakie with panties on her head. Ya know something I think I know why she's harry it's so she can act a fool then go shave and no one knows it was her. (HAIRY DISGUISE) ^.^ Username: blueblackrose Image of My Entry: http://www.menewsha.com/forum/pictur...ictureid=58856 Tell me about your FREAK SHOW: Some people just can't seem to leave mother nature alone and have to try to take things into their own hands. What we have here is the result of an alchemist's tampering with nature. Taking several different animals he combined them to create this chimera. Unfortunately this creature took that man's life. Don't get too close now or call the creature names or you might just end up like the alchemist. Username: Kamikaze Kendra Image of My Entry: http://i.imgur.com/xHChy2z.png Tell me about your FREAK SHOW: Step right up ladies and gents! Oh, but not too close there is a reason that we have a barrier set up in this tent after all! And that waiver that you signed when you bought your ticket... Feast your eyes on the prized pet of our little show, our very own chimaera! Body of a horse, legs of a goat, head of a majestic deer, mane of a lion and wings of a crow... it's like a genetics experiment gone wrong! Only, we found this thing in the wild! Or, well, the people we bought it from found it somewhere in Greece. Don't mind the chains, they're just a precaution... and no flash photography please! These things breathe fire so it's not exactly in your best interest to go startling it... Reference pic (optional) Username: Seito Image of My Entry: http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...psa641714a.png Tell me about your FREAK SHOW: Step right up to see the world's first living tree woman! She has a skin condition that makes it look like she's turning into a tree each day. Like the Ent from Lords of the Rings, she moves slowly and surely! Step up and be amazed! Reference pic Picture Link to Article Username: Suona Image of My Entry: http://i.imgur.com/NQjbK5A.png Tell me about your FREAK SHOW: "Hello, ladies and gents, and thank you for joining us for our show tonight. Allow me to introduce our beautiful and talented belly dancer...Rumenantia." Curtains draw and the lights are dimmed as a hauntingly catchy tune seems to appear out of nowhere. From the shadows saunters the lovely Rumenantia, wrapped in a ribbon and dancing delicately to the beat of the music. The beat picks up and her speed increases, in a swift movement she spins and unravels herself from the ribbon, revealing a completely bare mid-drift. But wait, it seems a bit more bare than most? Where is the rest of her? She swirls in a beautiful dance that can only be described as art, bringing a whole new meaning to belly dancing as everyone's eyes cannot be drawn away from her. The music reaches a climax and she swirls to the floor in a finish and the audience breaks out in applause. "Even we freaks can be beautiful and alluring."

Lisa-May is her name. She's the crafty sort. Built her own terrarium with her families inheritance. -Woman folk and money right gents? Oh my! Seems it's time for her lunch. Watch! That one's still live and wiggling. Oooooo down it goes. Later on. . .For all you gentleman of a wealthy, un-wedded caste she'll show those scales go all the way down. In a one of a kind burlesque performance." Reference pic (optional) Username: Velvet Image of My Entry:http://i.imgur.com/C3HLaja.png Tell me about your FREAK SHOW: "Ahem..What is she? Some consider her similar to the "Missing Link", while others choose to believe she is simply and fully tattooed lady looking for fame. But folks, she is real. Meet the Lizard Lady. Yeah, I know, not a very created name, but she feels it suits her the best. Why is she in a tank, you ask? Because this odd creature thrives in the water. Swims faster than any human and can hold her breath for an unlimited amount of time. Who needs to always breathe air when you also have gills??! AMAZING FOLKS!"[COLOR="lightseagreen"] Username: dragoness129 Image of My Entry: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps4636e497.png Tell me about your FREAK SHOW: A real live bird lady. She will get up on stage and lay an egg as part of her act. Good thing the eggs she lays are always empty. The world would not want to see a lot of birdmen taking over the world. Username: sjacklene Image of My Entry: http://i.imgur.com/UeQvK7n.png Tell me about your FREAK SHOW: Come on, step right up! Black Beauty is the one and only live mermaid. Reference pic (optional) http://i.imgur.com/vGEqEr5.jpg Username: Woodlandnymph Image of My Entry:http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/...psc56843e2.png Tell me about your FREAK SHOW: Bunny (as she likes to be called) has a form of oculocutaneous albinism. So she is very sensitive to the sunlight, and has pale features and eyes. She was born and bred carnie; her mother is the tightrope walker and her father the strong man...So she's left to her own devices mostly, staying under the tents and having tea parties and treats with whoever will stop by to say, 'hi!' She decided one day to play dress up and set up her own little "Wonderland" corner of the show filled with lacy things, tea, and crumpets. |
It Happened to Someone I Know!
A Group Avatar Contest Urband Legends and Ghost Stories: we've all heard them. Those tales that are mind boggling, but aren't quite out of the realm of possibility. Of course, we know they're not real. Or, at least, we hope they're not.... For this group contest, I ask that you visualize your favorite urban legend or ghost story. I don't want original fiction; I want an actual tale that's told from person to person. If you need a little guidance or inspiration, here's some wiki pages: Urban legend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ghost story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia RULES 1. There has to be at least 2 people to compose a group. 2. Your story of choice should already be existing. Please, no original work! 3. It can be a tale told in any culture. Have some fun researching! 4. Please, post the story, quoted or linked, with your group's entry. 5. I will have to deny any overly gore-y entries. Gore is fun, but don't over do it. 6. Don't limit yourself to the links I've shared. Do some research! Get creative. Have fun! A Friend of a Friend once told Me... Usernames: Images of Group Entry: What's your tale?: Quote:
