You can buy the commons or the event items with pies or gold. It's up to you.

Yep, finally found the FAQ. The idea behind this event is fantastic, so whimsical. Did you know my grandparents met on the New Jersey Boardwalk?

Man, why is your family comprised of people with just wonderful stories? That's so cute. But YES, I love the theme of this event. I wish I could say I had something to do with it, but I didn't.

Actually, my family has some stories too, but I don't know that I'd call them wonderful. Interesting, though. My Mema was raised in poverty in Scotland and came to America when she was 17 and became a dancer (not "dancer," dancer.) A teacher heavily mocked her accent so it's completely gone now.

On the other side of my family, my... great-great grandmother, I think it was, had quite the ordeal. I don't remember the whole of it, but she married a man and had two daughters with him. The marriage was awful, and the man was rich. He planned to divorce her and take the children, so she ran away, completely changing her name and those of her daughters (one of them was in the 3-6 age region, the other a bit older than that). She remarried and then had a normal life, but she never told anyone (I don't even think she told her husband), and her daughters apparently only told one or two people because this didn't come out until well after they had both passed away. We don't know what their real names were.

By the way, I like your avatar! Clever use of the blankie, making it look like a towel. I wouldn't have thought of that!

I agree with Cherry! Very clever! :3

It is indeed a great looking avatar!

Those are great stories! Well, not "great" as in pleasant, but great as in colorful.
Yeah, my family has a lot of stories. I worry that I haven't retained the details. I imagine it's going to along the lines of "it was something like that" as time continues to pass. It's already rather like that as it is.

awww you guys are sweet! this avi did require a lot of "out of the box" thinking

:lol: I actually thought it was a towel item when I was fresh meat. It took me almost a month to be corrected. It's nice to see someone using those tattoos. I love the tattoos on this site.

you guys are to nice! makes me wonder if I should actually enter it in the contest... I don't think I would do very well against all the layered matched well people though XD

With a black head item, and maybe some black flats (though I'm skeptical on that) I think you'd stand a pretty good chance, but I haven't actually looked at the other entries.

I take it you're going for the "accidental swim" look?

indeed I am! or perhaps the water vanished on me?
hmmm maybe, I'm not to competitive though, I don't think I've ever entered anything... XD

I do have the star hairpin though, that would go quite nicely

Ok, well if you're going for that, shoes and angry eyebrows will help. Also perhaps a different haircut? something that falls straight down, like it's been soaked.

I see the hairpin, but it's pretty hidden...

uh little sister .... I would never where shoes at the beach... o.O nor have I ever once had angry eyebrows she's
thanks though ..... maybe if was in the AT asking for advice XD

Okiday then. *shrugs* Just an idea.

Why did no one inform me of this place

You didn't ask in the right places....

still not going to enter though XD my avi's are just for me

Or I should visit the house of hoff when there's a new reply rather than waiting for several new repiles.

house of hoff?

Aww, fair enough. I lobe avatar contests :) Can't get enough of them, which probably isn't a great thing, but I have fun at least.

And you could do that HIM, you could indeed.

Yes Birdie the Howse of Hoff there's lot of Hoff there.

AS long as you have fun that's the point of them! I just know my avi's aren't the ... erm common popularity XD


what's Hoff? do I really want a whole house of it XD

DAVID HASSLEHOFF !
