☼ Going Natural! : Introduction

With spring cleaning behind us, it's time to show off your new wardrobe! In celebration of Earth Day, we join you to assemble an outfit following the theme. You may win yourself some awesome prizes! Before we continue, just who is behind this wild little competition...?

melody xyelle : Hi everyone! I'm your host. You can call me Melody. I normally spend time in the quest forum during the day while randomly surveying the rest of the site. I love finding the hidden gem avatars around the site. So what better way to showcase them then hosting a contest? O: So show me your best!

ToriKat : I'm the co-host! You can find me rummaging throughout the site for conversation. I have hideaways tucked around the site. You can drop in anytime or shoot me a PM. Oh! And I don't eat Fresh Meat - just cookies. So if you're a cookie...well, look out. ;)
I'm constantly amazed by the avatars you all create! Show me what you've got! Good luck!

something about it: Here goes!
Hello my name is paprika! This is my outfit for Earth Day. Now you may be wondering why i chose to wear these items? Well i will tell you!
But first off i need to explain a little something about whats missing from my outfit. You see i have a lot of critter friends like foxxy here and...they all seemed to have taken a liking to different bits of my outfit. ::Sighs:: Originally my outfit was to look like this![] As you can see some things are most definitely missing...well barba seemed to have eaten my Headdress...i even managed to get that from someones wedding reception too! They were throwing out the decorations and i asked if i could have some and fasioned my headpiece out of it. Well i had to find some old horns and vines from someone doing some landscaping to get something new for my head! Now with the pretty little wings, Plucky my little Duckie seemed to think that he could fly with them if he strapped them on himself! Oh my i almost had a heart attack when i saw him jump off the shelf with those on! (But dont worry hes fine i managed to catch him) You see, those were made of old feathers i found on the ground and some clay from the river nearby my little home. Needless to say you cant fly with that! And it fell to little bits with the roughness of him strapping them on and then me catching him! My teddy...thats the part i miss the most, i had it since i was born! But foxxie here confused it with his chewtoy! @@;; he said sorry to me but i forgave him...all my little animal friends felt bad but its ok because i love them all so much <3!
On with the rest! The clover came from the same yard i got the leftover bits of vine from someone doing yard work, i just thought it was so pretty to just be laying there forgotten in a pile, poor thing is already falling apart. :( My necklace came from there too! They seemed to think that these pretty little flowers were WEEDS and WORTHLESS! Any plant is worth something! Even the smallest weed <3 (And these bees seem to think the flowers are nice too!)
My belt is borrowed from some bits i had in the shed, and the pants are actually hand-me-downs! (its why they're so baggy) But i dont need to buy new clothes when these work just fine! It would be a waste to just trash them and that doesnt help nature at all!
Last but not least, my shirt. This is one of the oldest pieces of clothing i own. I've had this shirt for so long and i've even patched it up once too! It covers me up like its supposed to and its warm enough for this nice springy weather.
Oh darn i almost forgot, my lack of shoes! Thats because i like to feel the springy grass, warm dirt and of course the mud! Underneath my feet (or between my toes ;) )

Anyways my outfit is more of a symbol of how you can recycle and reuse just about anything to make it work and help out nature at the same time! Thats all from me for now, and all my little critter friends saygoodbye as well. :)

something about it: Although most people feel nature comes to like in summer, i find its best in winter, although cold it celebrates closeness of things, the hibernations of many animals....and the pure cleanliness of snow....

Something about it - This species of bee is known as the elusive Panda Bee. While many classify this rare and exotic animal as a panda, it is actually a monochrome Bee, with specs of red on it. Such an elusive Bee only comes out of the flowers during Earth Week, to celebrate Earth Day with the islanders of Menewsha, to give green tips to the islanders as well as to raise awareness.

something about it:
I am dressed like a nature fairy. She cares about the environment and has a watch in her hair to remind us if we don't take better care of the planet our time is running out.
Name: CK
Avatar:
something about it: My avatar is styled off of the Roman demi-goddess Fauna - the daughter of Faunus the satyr. While technically Fauna herself has little or nothing to do with the Earth, her father did. X3 I added the chickie on my head to assist with the nature theme. Andit'scute.

something about it: I'm a wild nature beast! Fear me!
Name: Majinkoz!
Avatar:
something about it: I wanted to try and do something different. In short, I created an avi that is all black and white except for one piece (the carni hairpin) I wanted it to symbolize how nature can sometimes be destroyed and become completely lifeless, but if there is at least one seed of any kind of plant left, that life can still grow. ^^

something about it: Doesn't it remind of you of winter? The light blues and snowflakes for snow, the dark blues for rivers that are frozen. :]

something about it: This avatar was inspired by a small town where I used to live, appropriately named Pacific Grove. A perfect blend of forests and nature by the ocean.

something about it: I wanted to give it a try and see what I could come up with.. :3 I like this look, although it's a bit naked, but that's all natural, right? xD

something about it: The gold stands for the riches all around us, the white for purity of nature, and green is pretty obvious. *grin* Oh, and I haven't taken a brush to my avvy hair in weeks!
Name: Sizzla

Something about it: It's just something I put together for the event. I have a nature cloak, but it makes it way too obvious what to put with it, so I decided on a naturey theme without rocking the cloak. :D

something about it: "And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!" - Edgar Allan Poe


Shortly after I purchased the dress, this poem popped into my head. So I stuck with it, figuring a Raven was a good host for an Earth Day Event. :3 Thusly, it is also my entry: The Raven.

Something about it: It's supposed to represent the sun and water. The gold represents the sun while the blue represents the water. It's like a walk on the beach on a sunny day.

something about it: Uhmm... too tired to think of a decent description for it right now *shot* It's basically just a revamp of an old avatar I had that I really liked, so I added more green to it to make it fit the 'nature/earth' theme.

something about it: I am the Queen Bee of the Honey Hive 777. I breed, with an iron fist, laying about 2,000 eggs a day, during the spring. Very well taken care of my needs. Also, the mother of many drones and worker bees. I had to survive to take on my role, competing with other queen bees. Even though I am a Queen Bee, I do not directly control the hive. My sole function is to serve as the reproducer and will be doing this for the remaining 2-7 years of my life.

something about it: I may not have many items yet but I am going for the "all natural" look XD Some may call it poor but I call it economical! Plus I think this is the only event I can participate it so I didn't want to miss out.

Name: blueblackrose
Avatar:
something about it: I wanted to play with color and make a vibrant avatar that represents the colors of Spring.

something about it:
A cat who wanders in the night surrounded by nature... <3
cat ears = cat
birdies = animals of nature
hair = flowing water
any green or brown or plant (rose, lattern) = earth
dress = night sky
halo = stars
moon clip = the moon
sash = northern lights...
Name: Fox Paw
Avatar:
something about it: I am the Seasons keeper. I hold the seasons and let them out at the right time of year. Snowflakes for winter, a newborn lamb and a sprouting clover for winter, the dress of a bee for summer, and the wings of the migrating geese for fall.
Name: RoyalSquishy
Avatar:
something about it: Well, it incorporates dirt and grass (or in other words, the natural brown and green colors) The bunny signifies those little critters out there and the splash of pink and red symbolizes the colors of pink flowers
