Greetings, Menewshans,
I am Scheherazad, here to herald the upcoming arrival of the Desert Winds Caravan, but somehow I seem to have arrived without any clothing! It's very embarrassing.
After seeing all of the wonderful avatars the people of Menewsha have created, I was hoping perhaps some of you would be interested in designing a costume for me. A genie has provided me with some valuable items I'd be happy to grant as prizes to the people who come up with the loveliest ideas.
As far as what I like to wear, I'm very fond of jewel tones, gold, and sand colors. And I don't want to spend too much-- I'm working within a budget. So please, while designing, only use commons and items the genie has already given me. I'll put the list in the next post, and I'll make sure to keep it updated if I'm granted any more items.
About MeX
I think I should tell you a bit about myself first, so you'll know who you're designing for. As I mentioned before, my name is Scheherazade-- but you can call me Scher if that's too much trouble. I am the wife of King Shahryar, and before he and I met he had a wife who was unfaithful to him. Shahryar went a little crazy about that and decided he would marry a different girl every day and have her beheaded the next morning. He'd married and executed a thousand girls before I convinced my father the vizier to let me try.
I'm very well-educated, you see-- I've always loved histories and philosophies and poems, and I like to think I'm a fairly good storyteller. So as soon as we were wed, I begged to have my sister Dinazade come to bid me farewell on my last night. We'd planned it out in advance, of course, that she would beg me to tell her a story. And, oh, the story I told! I had to make it interesting, you see, because my life really depended on it! Shahryar was so interested that he was disappointed when I stopped at dawn without finishing the story, and he agreed that I should live another night to finish it.
As soon as I finished the first story, of course, I launched into the next, and we continued on like that for one thousand and one nights. I told the story of the Fisherman and the Jinni, and all about Sindbad, and Ali Baba, and Al-Adin. Every story I could think of, I told, night after night, until finally on the last night I confessed I had no more stories to tell. Shahryar, instead of killing me as I feared, smiled and told me that I would just have to be his queen until I came up with more. And... well, at the risk of being cliché... we lived happily ever after.
I'll be running the contest until April 6th and I'm looking forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations!

First and foremost, make sure you follow the Site Rules.
Be respectful! Constructive criticism is fine, but please don't be rude to other entrants.
You can only enter once in each of the categories, and you may not enter on a mule account. If you do try to enter on a mule, we'll know, so just don't bother.
Please be sure to use the entry form when you post your entry. Failure to post the form will result in your avatar not being entered into the contest.
You may use your own inventory and the DAC to make your outfits.
Please be sure to save your entry to an outside image host like Photobucket or imageshack. What we see is what we'll judge, so be sure that the avatar you enter is saved and won't change.
If you want to change your entry, you may edit your submission up until it is posted on the front page. Once it is posted on the front page, you'll have to PM Wyrmskyld if you want to change anything.
Requirements
The theme is basically Arabian Nights, so keep that in mind with your design!
Color scheme is jewel tones, sand colors, and gold, with accents of black and possibly other colors-- we're pretty lenient, but tons of pastels probably aren't gonna win!
You can use any skin tone, eye color, and/or hair color you choose.
REMEMBER: Commons and already donated items only. If it can't be bought in a shop and it's not on the list below, your entry won't count! I will update this list every time there's a new donation.
