Your Hosts:


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!





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!





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!

Jungle Creatures Contest

A jungle is a habitat known for it's colorful array of life! You can't help but to image some kind of creature among the bright and fruitful vegetation of a jungle, whether you think of a leopard, or a snake, or even a beetle! For this contest, I'm challenging you to create the exotic animal you see! You can represent any animal from any category: mammal, reptile, bird, amphibian, fish, or insect. So make me awe, or make me shriek! The choice is up to you!

I only ask for a few things:
1. Your entry must be based from a real EXOTIC animal; try to resemble the animal as closely as possible.
2. You must post 1 to 2 reference photographs of this animal. I must be able to see it's body and head clearly.
3. No portraying household pets! I will allow exotic birds, but I don't want people entering as their domestic cat!
4. No animal companion items! I will allow noses, ears and such, but no animal companions. The avatar is the animal itself!
5. Post a fact about the animal! I love learning new things! Especially about animals!
Just post a sentence, or even a link to an informational site!
(**Fun Facts have no bearing on your overall entry...it's just something for fun!)

Quote:
Although, poison dart frogs are famous for their neon colors and deadly toxins, there are only three species of poison dart frogs that are used for their hunting toxins. Many species of the frog are imposters and mimic the colors of the toxic variety. They find that their colors, called aposematism, serve just as well as a warning to predators as if they actually were harmful to eat. A much lesser known fact of poison dart frogs is that they are intelligent amphibians that live in groups and are dedicated to raising their young.

Fun Fact: White Tigers - Wiki page
The white tiger is a rare pigmentation variant of the Bengal tiger, which was reported in the wild from time to time in Assam, Bengal, Bihar and especially from the former State of Rewa.
White tigers are distinct for the normal colouration in that they lack the phaeomelanin pigment that in normal tigers produces the orange colour. They still produce the other colour pigment, eumelanin, and hence are not considered albino. Compared to normal colored tigers without the white gene, white tigers tend to be somewhat bigger, both at birth and as fully grown adults.

Reference Image: [Tree Kangaroo] [Img2]
Fun Fact: Little is known about the social behavior of wild tree kangaroos. Researchers believe that Matschie's tree kangaroos are fairly solitary animals. Females and males have non-overlapping home ranges but a male's range will overlap several females' range. Researchers also believe that Matschie’s tree kangaroos are polygamous and that males will interact with several females.

Males, however, appear not to establish "harems," and females remain independent. The only strong social bond these animals form is between mother and offspring. In captivity, Matschie's tree kangaroos are somewhat social. Interactions include nose contact, grooming and chasing one another. Most interactions are initiated by a male toward a female and are usually associated with mating. Often the female will act defensively toward the male.

Fun Fact: The Green Sea Turtle is named not for the color of its shell, which is normally brown or olive depending on its habitat, but for the greenish color of its skin. Unlike most sea turtles, adult green turtles are herbivorous, feeding on sea grasses and algae. Juvenile green turtles, however, will also eat invertebrates like crabs, jellyfish, and sponges

Green turtles, like other sea turtles, undertake lengthy migrations from feeding sites to nesting grounds, normally on sandy beaches. Mating occurs every two to four years and normally takes place in shallow waters close to the shore. To nest, females leave the sea and choose an area, often on the same beach used by their mothers, to lay their eggs. They dig a pit in the sand with their flippers, fill it with a clutch of 100 to 200 eggs, cover the pit and return to the sea, leaving the eggs to hatch after about two months. The most dangerous time of a green turtle’s life is when it makes the journey from nest to sea. Multiple predators, including crabs and flocks of gulls, voraciously prey on hatchlings during this short scamper.

Fun Fact: Dragonflies are ancient insects. They have existed on Planet Earth for approximately 300 million years. Today, they look very much like they did in "dinosaur times," though they have gradually gotten smaller since then.
The largest dragonfly fossil (one of the earliest) had a wingspan of nearly three hooves. That makes it the largest flying insect in known history!

Casting for a Castaway!



WOW, that is one OLD TV show! We here on Menewsha have decided it's time to update that show, Menewshastyle! So here is your challenge. You are casting for the next remake of Gilligan's Island. BUT, instead of 7 castaways, you decide you want 8! Who will be your shiny new 8th character in this iconic show? How will they try to help the other castaways escape the island?

Please include a short paragraph describing your 8th castaway and how they try to help the other castaways escape the island. Remember a paragraph is a minimum of 3 sentences.

Most importantly...What is their name? After all, everyone knows Ginger, Mary Ann, Gilligan, The Skipper, The Professor, Mr & Mrs. Howell! Your character will have to be just as iconic as they are to fit in!

Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: Bridget Monroe is a wilderness guide who was was ashore on the island when she was headed to the rain forest to lead a vacation exploration. She soon befriended the other castaways and likes to help out with hunting, fishing, and gathering plants, since she has vast knowledge in survival, she is quite in her element on the island. Bridget is tough, brave, but has a kind heart, she is also quite witty, charming, and intelligent, but seems to have little interest in the Professor's scientific comments. It has been lightly implied that Bridget may have a crush on the Professor though. Like when they were gathering oranges and Bridget suddenly tossed one at him. He just stared at it a minute, and Bridget looked at him and said kind of playfully"I could show you how to peel it." The Professor responded clueless, "Oh, I know how to peel it" and Bridget just went back to what she was doing, glancing over at him a brief second.

She makes all sorts of crazy inventions that usually fail to try and help them get off the island.

Sienna was an out of work model, looking to forget about her latest break up, her friends encouraged her to take a vacation, as a result she ended up on the ill-fated "3 hour tour" with the other castaways. "It'll be fun!" her friends had told her, uh yeah if being stranded for life is your idea of fun! Though their fate seems questionable, Sienna, hasn't given up and doesn't waste a lick of time coming up with an escape plan, she may be a model but she's got brains and street smarts. Armed with her trusty lipstick and her butt smacking purse, sienna intends to use her looks to attract everything and anything she can to the island, so she can get off it, even if that anything is a passing dolphin. And if that doesn't work, there's always the old note in a bottle trick, with a note saying "help I'm trapped on an island full of treasure", because if looks won't bring em, greed will!

Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island:
She was shipwrecked an unknown amount of years before the rest of them. She was only a little girl when she first made it to the island. Wearing a long white night gown that became ragged and dirty over the years. She was only able to be use it as a wrap around skirt. She's about 20 and has a wild sex appeal.
The "tattoos" are actually ashes she smudges on herself. No real reason behind them other than when she was a child their was no one around to tell her not to write on herself. I suppose its what would be a pass time on an island. She also cut off her blond hair to put on her dolly. Which is her last connection to humanity. She doesn't speak much in the brief times they encounter her. She tries to help them off the Island by attempting to eat them.

She has survived on this island for many years before Gilligan and his crew became shipwrecked, including making some daggers from rocks.

Oh yes, you mean THE Professor. Didn't think he worked alone, did yah? Little did Jane know when she joined the Professor on his three hour tour that she'd end up shelling coconuts to help him jerry-rig radios and that every other Wednesday night Mary-Ann and Ginger would cram her into a hula skirt for another silly dance competition. *Sigh* At least she brought along a book or two so she can find a nice hideaway when she's not helping build another raft.

But she was there, she was boarded on the S.S Minnow below deck. Gilligan actually hid her behind some boxes and planned on sneaking her back off the boat when they arrived at their destination. Plans were changed when the ship crashed on the island. The others discovered Gilligan had a sister, a twin sister soon after. Jillian explained that she had no where to go and had never been on a boat before.. She ends up being just like Gilligan too. Bumbly, sloppy, butterfingered, and without any sort of grace. She trips over everything, manages to break much needed furnishings, and she even burned down their makeshift beach houses once forcing the group to recreate each of their houses again. How does she help them all get off the island? Simple. She doesn't. Just like Gilligan, she manages to blow every chance they get to leave the island. And she has an obsession with a map she found on the island..

She helped them build their huts, taught them what food was safe and what wasn't. showed them where fresh water sources where. and regaled them with stories she'd made up. she even ended up having a crush on, of all people, Gilligan, much to the bemusement of the rest of the castaway's.

Though she was raised by nannies and rich parents, this little lady is quite the tomboy! Summer loves playing outside and making new discoveries. She knows all sorts of random facts about plants and animals that would help the castaways survive and thrive on the island until they could find a way off. And maybe, just maybe, a kid like her will think of a way off the island that none of the grownups could ever come up with!

My Castaway's Name: Tom Robinson the Boy Scout
Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island:
Always be prepared! That's the boy scout motto. Tom never thought that right after he got his Eagle Rank (the highest rank a Boy Scout can obtain) he would end up shipwrecked on this island! It's good thing he got his Wilderness Survival Merit Badge. In no time he had a shelter built, a fire started and caught some fish. With his Wood Work Merit Badge, building a raft shouldn't be too hard. Or at the very least he could help repair their broken ship. Tom held the record for most merit badges in his troops, many which helped on the island.

Now if only he could the adults to accept this and stop treating him like a kid...

Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: For as long as Wira can remember he has lived on this island. Not receiving many visitors than other natives from nearby islands. Oh what a surprise it was when Gilligan and the others arrived on his island. What a curious sight they were. For a while he was in the background just observing the newcomers. They gave him a good laugh. Little by little he let his presence be known to Gilligan and the others and developed a crush on Mary Ann. Most of his attempts to become friends with Mary Ann usually end up with her running away or the others chasing him away. Even with this strange relationship that he develops with the castaways he does manage to save them quite a bit. Then again maybe he is the reason they have never managed to get off the island.[COLOR="lightseagreen"]

@ Linnea - With the basic items, they are listed as silver, but they appear more grey, like the stones I am using. Would they be considered the same since their tones are the same, or would they be counted as two different colors?

silver is very hard to differentiate from gray, just as gold can be hard to differentiate from yellow and some oranges, so just use your best judgement and i'll be willing to be a little relaxed about it too.

Fun Fact:
Quote:
Although, poison dart frogs are famous for their neon colors and deadly toxins, there are only three species of poison dart frogs that are used for their hunting toxins. Many species of the frog are imposters and mimic the colors of the toxic variety. They find that their colors, called aposematism, serve just as well as a warning to predators as if they actually were harmful to eat. A much lesser known fact of poison dart frogs is that they are intelligent amphibians that live in groups and are dedicated to raising their young.

My Castaway's Name: Agent Smith
Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: In this delightful group, you have characters from all socioeconomic levels and from every type of job. Every job that is, except a government job. Have you ever wondered why their plans to escape the island have always failed? That's right! A government conspiracy! My guy does not help them get off the island at all! She is assisting in a government experiment and that means they must stay put! *evil laughter*
