I didn't win. :stare:
I didn't want to mention it before judging since I wanted to see if people would pick up on it, but it doesn't look like anyone did so I'll say now. XD The shoes with the lace up and the hairpin were chosen to be representative of the fact that Tradl dreamed of becoming a dancer.
P.S. Congrats, Keyori. Definitely one of my favorites this round.

Cora is confused about the new challenge. We are creating two outfits using 13 items or less that relate but do not match?
Is that the only criteria? Am I correct? oh and they cant have anything to do with wicked.....do they need to reflect any sort of theme?

I love almond milk too, but my tummy doesn't so I can't has. ;___;
Cora - From my understanding of "Wicked" (which is very, very limited) I think that the two main characters are the two witches, right? And they're opposites of each other, even though they were friends before they were made to be opposites? (I really need to read the book and watch the play.) So I guess what Seiki is going for is a pair of avatars that look like they were two friends who went opposite directions in life? (Ie: You can see that they still think similarly in some ways, they just went opposite directions with it.) Seiki should correct me if my interpretation is wrong. :x
PS: Not calling anyone out, but I think it's sucky when people call out someone's entry and says negative things about it outside of judges' hopefully neutral critique. Especially in relation to other entries. The people in question might not care, but I do and it makes me feel uncomfortable.

oh ok that makes sense then, I think I can work with that. Cora has never had the chance to see wicked either.
Doesn't make it any easier, just more understandable. xP

CK: I didn't notice anyone doing that... I saw people putting themselves down or saying a general entries this round weren't as good, but I didn't see anyone insulting specific outfits of other people.

If other people didn't see it, I won't point it out. :x But it's definitely there to my dismay.

The wiki for the musical doesn't give you a lot of background to work with so I would reccomend anyone who hasn't seen the play or read the book check out the book wiki found here:
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For this challenge, I wanted you all to think more along the lines of good and evil and how you can represent those as being related to each other in two different outfits with a limit of 13 items per outfit. The story of Wicked has a lot to do with misunderstanding and propaganda about and against characters. This challenge is supposed to be kind of a balancing act that shows that you know how to take conflicting ideas and sync them together to make a story. What CK said isn't that far off from what I was thinking.

Do the good and evil need to be at all related to the story?

Not necessarily, but it's preferable. Like I said in the actual challenge write up, I didn't want a cosplay, but I would like for it to be tied in to the story somehow if possible.

Good luck to all other contestants still in. :)

I saw it. I feel... weird about it. *tries growing a thicker skin*
I think I was the only other one who noticed it so far? :feesh:
On a completely different note, I've never seen The Producers, and am ashamed by it. I'll try to watch it tomorrow if it's on Netflix since it's one of those must-sees that I just never bothered to see. I really should keep a list...
But, my fiance is taking me to see Inception tonight! Weee! It's a real treat for us because usually we don't see movies in the theatre, since it's so expensive. We don't have a discount showing place either, so that's not even an option. The next closest theatre is also full-price and it's 20 miles away :gonk:
... and, omg, I've never seen Wicked. This was a horrible cycle for me to join xD
I guess I'll have to find some clips and get some ideas. Read some plot synopses. I wish I had time to read the book. Bah.

CK - I hope your not referring to me. Coz i did not mean anything negative by what i said. I did say i liked cami's outfit which i did. I just didn't think it would win this round, i was under the assumption it did because seiki said, but i didn't realize he was kidding. But i definitely didn't say anything negative, nothing was wrong with her outfit, if it was i would have mentioned it in my scores. Oh and when i said "are you serious" i meant as in, wow that's pretty awesome. So if you took that negatively, sorry for the misunderstanding. It was not my intention at all.
Btw Inception is a pretty good movie, i wouldn't mind seeing it again :)

The Producers was an interesting movie... I honestly don't know what to make of it.
Parts of each are really really good and really really funny. And other parts of it drag so you're just sort of waiting for something funny/amazing to happen.
I think they're both worth watching for the good scenes, though. But I wouldn't go out of my way to watch them. xD
re: my previous comments -
If no one meant anything offensive/negative by whatever they said, then it's my bad for misinterpreting what was said. I guess seeing as it seems to happen every cycle that someone does that , I can't really be blamed for misinterpreting. But I will apologize for much ado about nothing.

I would never say anything negative about someones outfit outright like that. I don't do it in my own avi contests i wouldn't do it here. So i'm glad that's cleared up, coz i do think overall everyone did a great job. :)

I did notice the post in question after posting. Considering that it was referring to me, I feel weird commenting on it. But I will say that, while I agree wholeheartedly with CK's sentiment, in this particular instance I didn't feel insulted.

Ahh well that's good cami, coz i definitely didn't mean anything bad by it. I just think i wrote it wrong. And therefore it was taken the wrong way. Anyhow, i will from now on refrain from making any comments good or bad in here aside from my scores. :)

I don't think anyone was gunning for that. :/
After having poorly phrased myself multiple times on the interwub - sometimes with horrible foot-in-mouth results - I guess it's just something to try to keep in mind when you write up your posts.
That all over with, I'm thinking of making a thread for theme requests for commons. :p

So Wicked is like Wizard of Oz, but more of the dark side, the witch side?
I have seen Rent and Love it! But I have never heard of Wicked.

CK, isn't that what happens in the regular items thread?
Or, what is supposed to happen...
Pff, we should just make avatar-related suggestions into its own subforum. Threads for hair, face stuff (like makeup or expressions), skin or body suits, accessories, clothing, and CI's.
Like Mene needs more sub-forums :roll:
