Cycle 4: Task 2

Models,

Hello all of you. Task 2 is going to be a task like no other. Thank you to Alex (cinammongirl) for giving me this task idea! Task 2 is a blast into the past. You girls will have to go deep into your pretty little minds, and remember some things.

Task 2:

When everybody first joins Stardoll, the hustle and bustle of everything over whelms us. You take advantage of the one day of Superstar and buy everything in sight, until you have no more money left in your account. I'm sure most of you have been on here for at least a year, and hopefully you all have a good memory because for Task 2, you'll need it.

Task 2 is all about what happened when you first joined Stardoll. What one of the first things that you did was , what you wore, what you bought, etc. This Task isn't one where you can give 50%, you're going to need to give at least 110% if you want to stay out of the bottom two. These are the things that are required:
~A pose
~You medoll doing something that you did when you first got your StarDoll
~An outfit that you first bought
~An accessory that you first bought

If one of the items is new (and you have been on here for more than half a year), you will get many points deducted. Also, the scenery MUST be in the clubs, no where else.

Remember, a Tiny Pic and a description MUST be included, or the scenery will NOT count.

Due Date: November 27th, 2011

With Love,
Mandy <3

Cycle 4: Task 1 Elimination Ceremony

Models,

Hello, there. Before I state how each of you did, I am going to say that I forgot to mention something. Every task MUST be done in the club's scenery. It is easier for all of us to judge. Next task, if the scenery is not in the club's sceneries, it will NOT be counted.

Okay, onto judging those who actually did the task. (:
(in no particular order)

Chocomushroom: I wasn't a very big fan of your scenery. You were assigned to stand out in a daring way. You nailed that, but as for everything else...ehh. The leaves covered your arm, making it seem like there was a random floating hand and elbow. They also covered the hair, and I loved the hair too!
AshelyRoyalice3: For this task, you were assigned to stand out in a sly way. I think this scenery would have been a lot better if you didn't have that neon backround! Most of the judges thought it was too bright, and it would have benefited your scenery if a darker color was used. Also, what's up with the arm? I think it would have been classier if you decided to use your real arm, and maybe place a glove on it, etc.
Cookiezncream1: What happened? Like others, you didn't even do the task! I am going to remind everyone, not just Cookiezncream1, that I will not remind you that you have to do a task. I will post a Top Spot discussion in the club, but I won't go from GB to GB telling you to do the task. The way I'm going to judge those who didn't do the task is I will go to their old sceneries and see how they do. For you, I think you have great potential, and I know what you can do, since you were in Cycle 3.
CandyLoverXOXO: Sadly, you didn't do your scenery either. And you have never created a scenery so it's not looking too good.
SingerDemi: Wow! I absolutely loved it! You were assigned to blend in in a daring way, and you did just that! The clothes and makeup was perfect! However, a pose was needed, so thats where you lost points.
Baracuta1234567: Again, someone didn't do their task....goodness, what have you people been up to? I looked through your old sceneries and I think they are amazing! My favorite is the Good and Evil twins :)
Skooch87: You, as well, didn't do your scenery. I was looking through your old ones, and I noticed that you didn't have a pose in any of them...
Rafi101: Wow! Great, great job! You were assigned to daringly stand out! You seemed to choose the mad hatter in a park look, and it went perfectly!'

The Best Photo of The Week is.......Rafi101! Congratulations!

The people in the Bottom Two are.....Skooch87 and CandyLoverXOXO.
Neither of you had poses in your old sceneries and one didn't even have any old sceneries!

The person who is going home is......CandyLoverXOXO. I'm sorry, but you didn't complete the task, let alone have back up sceneries.

Task 2 will be up soon.
With Love,
Mandy <3

Cycle 4: Task 1

Models,

Here at last. The much antisipated Task 1. First off, I would like to say Congratulations to everyone who made it here, and good luck.....all of you will need it.

Fall, on of my favorite seasons of the year. The leaves are changing, candies are given, and thanks are told. The weather is chilly, but hey, its Fall! As we are transitioning into Winter, photoshoots are taking place in forrests, with red, yellow, orange leaves behind the models. The models adorn clothes that make them almost stand out from the forrest, or blend in. Depending on what the message is.

In all of these photos, the models embraced Fall, and that's exactly what you're going to do. I'm going to assign each of you on whether you are going to blend in, or stand out. For example, find a daring way to blend in, or a sly way to stand out. Since this wouldn't be Diamond_VIP without a twist, I'm going to add either daring or sly.

Cookiezncream1: Blend in; Daring
AshleyRoyalice3: Stand out; Sly
CandyLoverXOXO: Blend in; Sly
ChocoMushroom: Stand out: Daring
SingerDemi: Blend in: Daring
Barachuta1234567: Stand Out; Sly
Skooch87: Blend in: Sly
Rafi101: Stand Out: Daring

Task 1 is due on: November 11th, three days from now. This is a real challenge, and will prove to me if you're serious.

Please include a Tiny Pic and a description (You should do that for every task)

And we have a new judge, so please give a warm welcoming to HennaBanana12. She'll be judging the entire Cycle.

With Love,
Mandy

Cycle 4 Rules

Models,

Well, well, if it isn't the start of Cycle 4! Wow! In only ONE year, there has been three Cycles, each crowning a winner:
1) Amy_0202 (Cycle 1)
2) Cinammongirl (Cycle 2)
3) Weisswurst (Cycle 3)
4) ?
Are all of you girls ready to compete for that 4th spot? If not, well, it looks like you're going to have to give 110% because Cycle 4 is going to be a BIG one. :)

Before I tell you the 1st Task, I'm going to say some rules. If you don't follow these, you might not find yourself in the Final Two:

1) Always complete your task on time: If not, you will be eliminated from Cycle 4 immediatly. If you are out of town and do not have access to a computer, please let me know, you will have an exception.
2) A Tiny Pic or Imgur(sp?) is mandatory: If you don't have a Tiny Pic and your scenery glitches, there will be points deducted. If you do have a Tiny Pic, but the scenery glitches, no points will be taken off
3) Please describe your scenery: No body likes to see a scenery and not know what it's about! So make sure you describe your scenery, and include the Tiny Pic or Imgur in the comments!

Task 1 will be posted tomorrow! :)

With Love,
Mandy

Cycle 3 Winner!

Sam and Taylor,

Congratulations to both of you on making it this far! You both were faced with tough competitors, but beat them out! Thats how you got to where you are! So, had made this AMAZING powerpoint! Had amazing graphics, etc, and when I went to load it....the dang thing wouldn't load! Kept saying there was an error! You have no idea how devestated I was! I had spent an entire day working on it, and now I have to type it, and it will seem all plain and blunt :( Anywho, lets get on to the winner!

Overview for Taylor:

Wow! It is amazing to see how much you have progressed as a model! With every task, the judges and I could tell that you put your all. Like every human being, you had some tasks that weren’t what we were expected, but then the next task would reassure us all that Taylor was still in the game! Congratulations on making it this far Taylor! You deserve it!

Overview for Sam:

 From the very beginning, you were an outstanding model! Wowing us with your techniques, proving to us that you deserved this spot in the Finale! Sometimes, there were tasks that didn’t live up to what we all know you could do! When we pointed it out to you, the next task we could tell that you took those things into thought! Congratulations Sam for making it this far!

Prizes:

Well you know the prizes :)

Now, without further ado, the winner of Cycle 3 and who will be recieving all of the prizes that were mentioned last post is.....WEISSWURST!!

Congratulations Taylor! Your scenery was spectacular and you deserve to be crowned the winner of Cycle 3 Diamond_VIP. We'll see you next Cycle (since you will be a judge) and then you will be competiting for the ultimite title: Miss Diamond_VIP!

Sam, be proud! You're an amazing model and don't give up! Great job!

Cycle 4 Auditions are going on now, so if you want to be one of the contestants, audition! The auditions will be closed on Sunday, and I want ATLEAST 15 applications! More if possible! Sam, you're more than welcome to audition for Cycle 4 if you'd like!

With Love and congrats again Taylor!
Mandy <3

Cycle 3 Task 7 Elimination Ceremony:

Taylor and Sam,

Wow, its come down to the two best in the competition, but the sad thing is, only one can win. Through out the competition, you both proved that you deserved to be in the Final Two. And we all see how that turned out! With every task, you both gave 100% and more, which is why I loved this Cycle! I'm going to critique you both, and tell you what I thought of your scenery and how your progressed as a model.

First up, Taylor:

Your scenery was amazing! One judge even stated that it made her want to go and buy the perfume! Thats when you know you executed it well. I personally love it! Your pose made me see how far you have come. It was a risky choice, considering that the dress was see through, and one glitch could have costed you. But everything went smoothly, and looks good. I liked the hair, but some of the judges didn't. You went for the long hair, the mysterious looking hair, and since SD offers none of that, you made your own! It looks good, and I think you made a good choice. However, there is one thing that some of us didn't like: the staircase. It was out of porportion, and just didn't look like it should be there.

Sam:

Very Good Sam! I love the idea of the name! (For those of you who don't know, its SAM backwords) Your pose looks great, you said there was a glitch, but I didn't see one! The outfit that your wearing goes well with the theme, doesn't look to lazy, or to formal. For the face, it was a good idea to have yourself smiling, you don't want to seem to depressed that your shooting an ad! On the left, you had a picture of the lipstick, and its 'reflection' below it! I don't know why, but I'm obsessed on how you did that! I think its really clever, and looks great! Now, the judges did get confused with the word ROUGE at the bottom. They had to read the description to see what it meant. When you're flipping through the pages of a magazine, you can't talk to the photographer and ask him/her what they meant when they put something there. So next time, just make sure that when someone looks at your scenery, they know why everything's there without having to look at your description.

Both of you have grown so much as models! I am BEYOND proud of both of you! Before I announce the winner, I guess I should tell you what prizes you will be recieving! (:

~An interview with the lovely Lel1996, who owns the infamous stardoll blog: http://lel1996stardollblog.wordpress.com/

Those are the prizes! Some more might be added (:

Now, the winner is.........................

Going to be announced tomorrow (:

I'm sorry for the anticipation, but I have a little surprise up my sleeve!

With Love and See You Tomorrow,

Mandy (:

Task 7: Final Task

Models,

Well hello there. Hope you two are re-charged and ready for the Final task! This will be BIG! So, be ready and prepared, because you will have to FIGHT for the crown :)

Every time you go to a store, there are magazines, not just fashion, but cooking, house and garden, and for movies. In every issue, no matter what the theme is, there is always an interview. The stars have to be prepared, on some occasions, they know the questions, on others, they don't. When they are asked the question, they have a a few seconds to think, then must answer. Every word they say is put in, whether its an 'Uhmm....' or a laugh, the audience reads it. I'll give you a hint.....Start reading some Q&A articles  (:

Something that you also find in magazines, is......ADS. Yes, you see them all the time, and sometimes, to a point that you wish you didn't have to see them any more. But once in a blue moon, there is that one ad that makes you stop flipping through the pages, and you admire how detailed it is, or extravagant the ad is.

If you haven't gotten it already, Task 7 is going to be split into TWO. It will all be due at the same, but you have two things you have to do, in seven days.

Part One: Cinnamongirl, Gretelcass, Rach1225, and I will be interviewing you. Because we are all over the world, and in different time zones, we won't do chat (be thankful). They will ask you questions that they make up, I won't be giving them questions. You will respond within one day. That's all the time that you have to answer our questions. Be precise, and be accurate, because you never know where your answers might show up.

Part Two: I'm going to loosen the reins, and let this be a partly free task. You MUST create an add that advertises whatever you want. You could do makeup, your Star Designs, your own outfits that you made with objects, whatever it is. The free part is how you choose what to advertise. But, like always, you MUST include a pose, the more complex, the more points you earn.

All of this is due by: October 5th, 2011 a week from today. You don't have to do those in order, in fact, if I were you, I would do the scenery first


With Love,
Mandy

Task 6 Elimination Ceremony

Models,

Before I say anything, I would first like to congratulate the Top 3 Models! Congrats to: Cookiezncream1, Weisswurst, and Sam.Miley. You all did an amazing job throughout the competition, and really deserve to be here right now!

Also, only ONE judge sent me the scores, I'm not naming names, but please try to send the scores in when I ask you to. It helps the Cycle run smoother.

So, Task 6 was to make a scenery that showed what you wanted to be in 5,10, even 20 years from now. All three of you did an amazing job, but there is only one person who won this task and reserves a spot in the Finale. That person is......Weisswurst.  Your scenery was stunning! The outfit was fantastic, and I loved that you made it yourself. The pose was amazing, and that scenery definetly deserved to win this Task.

Now that Weisswurst has her spot in the Final 2 reserved, there are two left: Sam.Miley and Cookiezncream1.

Sam.Miley: Your scenery was amazing! The pose was done really well, and I liked how you used another medoll (besides your self) in the scenery. The backround was done well, and went together with the theme great! You payed attention to small details! Like the lipstick in her hand, the luggage (Honeymoon), and the flowers! In fact, only TWO points seperated you and Weisswursts, so it was close! I do have a complaint, I wish you didn't cut the top of your model's head off :( I wanted to see that hat!

Cookiezncream1: Your scenery was great, but when I first looked at it, I wasn't sure what you wanted to be. To me, it looked like you were stuck between reading or trying on the outfit. Maybe if you stuck to one job, then you could of added more detail and really showed what you wanted to be more precisly. I think it was executed well, and the outfit you made was great! The backround was great, and I loved how you had the threads, etc on the couch, as if waiting to be used! As for the pose, it was okay, but not the best, The left elbow was pointed and the right arm was showing a little bit.

Both of you did an amazing job on your sceneries, but only one can win. The person who is safe will join Weisswurst in the Finale is.....Sam.Miley.

Your scenery was great! It was everything that a scenery should be that deserved a place in the Finale.

Cookiezncream1, I'm so sorry, but your journey has ended. You came in 3rd place out of 11 girls! Be proud of your work, it was great! Cycle 4 Auditions are up if you want to join Cycle 4, you're more than welcome to!

Task 7, the final task, will be posted soon, so stay tuned! Oh, and if your one of the 3 judges, and would like to help me with something BIG, please let me know either via Doll Mail or GB.

With Love,
Mandy

Diamond_VIP Blog re-done

Hello everyone!

As you can see, I changed the blog up a bit. I thought the black was downing a tad, so I changed the theme! Tell me if you like it or not!

P.S: The final task will be up by Monday (:

Mandy

Task 6: Dream BIG

Models,

I gave you a hint this morning, about dreaming BIG! So, are you ready for your task? :)

Task 6 is about what you see yourself doing in 10, 15, 20 years from now. Everyone has different dreams, and ideas, so now you get to show what you want to do/be! Here is what you MUST include:

~Pose
~New Makeup
~New Hairstyle
~What you want to do or be

Task 6 is due on September 16, a day before my birthday :)

With Love,
Mandy :)

Task 5: Elimination Ceremony.

Models,

I am very sorry that this is so late! School has been very hard, with 5 tests every week, I barely have time to come on here. No, I am NOT cancelling the Cycle, and no, I am MOST DEFIENTLY NOT leaving! :) Okay, on to the results!

Task 5 was to do your medoll without any makeup, which can be hard considering how much makeup is valued on Stardoll. Everyone's task was really great, but the winner of this task is: Sam.Miley. Your medoll looked great! You used only moles and piercings, but your doll looked great!

The bottom two are: LolLaura123 and Cookiezncream1.

LolLaura123: Although you were allowed to use moles, and piercings, I feel like you went over board on it! The mole design was to distracting, the piercings were randomly placed, and then you added a headband to the mix of it. I just felt that you could of been more careful with doing the face, because it was supposed to be minimum

Cookiezncream1: I liked your doll, I did, but I felt like you could of done different lips and eyes, because I felt like those didn't work very well.

The person who is eliminated is.....LolLaura123. I am so sorry, but your medoll just was to confusing. But keep trying, because Cycle 4 Auditions are up.

Task 6 will be posted soon, and always dream big.

With Love,
Mandy

Task 5: Less Is More

Hello Dollies,

School has started for me, and I'm sure for many others. This is not a reason for delayed tasks, but I will extend how long you have to complete the task.

I gave you a hint last week saying, Less Is More. Do you know what I mean by that? Well, if you don't, you're about to find out :]

On Stardoll, medoll's makeup is a way to express your creativity. Some have rainbow eyes, others have no makeup.I, myself, love putting on makeup and experementing with different makeup looks. For Task 5, you are to make your medoll completly FREE of makeup, and try to make your doll look amazing WITHOUT MAKEUP. So everyone is fair, you are NOT allowed to use Super Star hair, but you ARE allowed to use Star Point hair. Take a print screen of it in the Beauty Parlor and put the links in the comments. Please don't save it and tell the judges to look at your medoll.

The task is due August 22nd.


With Love,
Mandy

Task 4 Elimination Ceremony

Hello Models,

For Task 3, you had to create a scenery that represented your country or state. It was a tricky task, but you all executed it well. Before I say the winner and the bottom two of the task, I want to congradulate all of you, because you models are the Final Five! Congradulations! :)

The winner of Task 4 is: Weisswurst! Great job on your scenery, I loved it!

With every Task, there is a Bottom Two:

Canditwilight2: You represented the U.S in your scenery, and I personally didn't think that it represented the U.S as well as it could of. You did a tough pose, and I think you did okay on the pose. Like you said the skirt moved, so we could see your hands below the skirt. It was a glitch, but like I said at the beginning of the cycle, you MUST have a Tiny Pic, incase things like that happened.

Cookiezncream1: In your scenery, you represented England. Since I don't live there, I don't know how England really is. You put a lot of plants everywhere, and I thought it was a little too much. It look like a forest to me. You elbow was pointy, which happens in a lot of the sceneries, so try and work on that. Also, you forgot your flag, which cost you 5 points.

The person who is eliminated is........canditwilight2. I'm so sorry, but you are eliminated. With every scenery you got better, but this scenery wasn't showing that. Keep practicing, and audition for Cycle 4!'


Task 5 will be posted tomorrow, and less is more.

With Love,
Mandy

Task 4: Staying True To Your Roots

Models,

Yesterday, I gave you a hint about staying true to your roots. Did any of you get what I said? I even put it in Red White and Blue..the colors of my roots. Yes, thats right, Task 4 is about where your from.

Everyone is from somewhere, whether is a country or a state. Thats what your Task is. You have to create a scenery that represents where your from. If you live in the United States, you can decide if you want to do one on your STATE or just the country. But if you don't live in the United States, you MUST do one on your country.

In your scenery, there are a few things that I would like for you to include:
~Pose
~An outfit on how you think people in your country wear (If your doing Japan, you could do long dresses with socks and flip flops)
~Find a way to interpret your flag into the scenery
~Change your ENTIRE face makeup, for full effect.

You MUST complete this task by: August 12, 2011.

With Love,
Mandy

Task 3 Elimination Ceremony

Models,

I apoligize for the delay. If any of you have every owned a modeling competition, you'll know how hard it is to do everything. Judte the tasks, add them all together, and to try and do all the other tasks for other modeling competitions. But, I do have some other things to discuss.

I will NOT be making extensions for anyone! I'm tired of doing that, because it throws off the Cycle. You will have FIVE DAYS to do the task, and the weekend to relax, and see if your eliminated. No If's, And's, or Buts.

Okay, after that whole speech, time for the Winner of Task 3.

Actually, it's a tie. Two models had the same exact score of 49.5 out of 60.

Weisswurst and Sam.Miley. Congradulations to both of you! Your sceneries really stood out and both of you got very good scores on posing.

To the Bottom Two:

thegirlwholived: In your scenery, you didn't really have a pose. The flick of the wrist was an easy one, and the bag that came with the bent arm, didn't count. Also, the backround was distracting. However, your face was perfectly executed.

LolLaura123: Your scenery was done well, but I didn't like the random dresses. I felt that it made the scenery seem very messy. Your outfit was styled well, though.



The person who is eliminated is....thegirlwholived.

Thegirlwholived, I'm sorry, but you are going home. I know that you are capable of amazing sceneries, this just wasn't one of them. Hope to see you audition for Cycle 4.

The next task will be posted tomorrow. And remember, stay true to your roots.

With Love,
Mandy

I'm Very Disappointed.....

Models,

Well, Task 3 is due today, but two models still haven't done the task. Thegirlwholived and Sam.Miley. I will give you the rest of the weekend, but I won't keep doing this. I didn't make this Cycle to waste my time or the judges, so Models, please do the tasks on time.

Task 3 will be due: July 24th

Task 3

Hello Models,

Ready for Task 3? Are both of you ready?

For Task 3, you are to completly change your makeup to fit...your alter ego. Yes, I said it, your alter ego. You may be a crazy girl, so your alter ego is someone who is quite, and sweet. Have your makeup fit your alter ego, and then make a scenery BASED off of that. So, like the example before, make a scenery that shows your medoll being quite, and sweet.

Since this can be confusing, post a before and after picture on TinyPic. Then put the link in your comments and describe your scenery! As always, the task is due this Friday, the 22.

With Love,
Mandy

Cycle 3 Elimination

Hello Models,

I am very sorry that the Elimination Ceremony is so late, there were some problems that had happened and I just couldn't get this up by Saturday. Anyways, this week, we have some sad new: two of the models are dropping out. Alw123 Liljj1234, its very sad to see you go, but, we do have someone that will come back. I know this doesn't sound fair, but thegirlwholived was on vacation and never got a chance, so I will be bringing her back for this Cycle. Okay on to the winner of the task, and the bottom  two

Winner: Weisswurst, your scenery was amazing. All of the judges thought that, which is why you got the highest score! Your pose was exactly what we wanted in a task like this. Congradulations

The Bottom Two are:

Canditwilight2: You didn't complete your task on time, which is a big no-no.You didn't notify me that you were gone, so next time you know you won't be there for a task, tell me and I will find a way to work it out. But that is not why your in the bottom two, you scenery just wasn't what we expected. Your knee made my knee hurt and I wasn't quite sure about the clouds, because there are no clouds in space.

MissAlexxi: For every scenery, you MUST pose, and you NEVER did, even though we told you countless times in the comments. That took off major points, since it was worth a lot more for this task. Also, your scenery made no sense. I don't get the doll head or the tree. I know they were supposed to be planets, but I was looking for space, not random heads and toys.


Who will be eliminated............

MissAlexxi, I'm sorry, but you are going home. I know that you have more potential, just practice, and when Cycle 4 Auditions come out, I'm sure you'll be even better!


Task 3 will be posted next .

With Love,
Mandy

Task 2

Hello Models,

On Friday, I told you a little hint. "..Because this task is going to be out of this world" Whether you understood it or not, your task is going to be out in space. Yes, space.

Now, I am postive that none of you have ever been in space, but you medoll can. When you are in space, there is no gravity, so every movement you do is slower, lighter, and gracefull. That is what I want for your medoll's to portary. Make it seem like the medoll is weighless, gracefull, and in space. As you create the scenery, have a story go along with it. Post what the story is in the comments. When people go into space, they have to wear space suits, but that is not the case for this task. Wear clothes that YOU think would go with the story for your scenery. Because there has never been any space photoshoots, yet, you will have to reliay on your imagination.

Because Stardoll has so many glitches, you MUST have a Tiny Pic or imagur. Post the link in the comments.

The due date July 15th, 2011. Anything any later than that, will NOT be accepted

Cycel 3 Elimination Ceremony

Hello Models.

Task 1 showed me what you could do. You had to create a scenery having your model pose with an animal. Some of you exceded out expectations, while others fell behind. Before I get to the winner of the task, I have to eliminate, thegirlwholived, because she did not complete the task after countless reminders.

The winner of Task 1: Sam.Miley!

Congradulations! Your scenery was fierce, unique, and you definetly interacted with your animal. My favorite part was how you interacted with your animal. You had your outfit made out of feathers (Hopefully faux (; ) and you had the noble eagle on your hand. Since you won this task, you get 5 points added to next tasks final score. Models, does that make you want to try and win?

Everyone's sceneries were great, but there has to be a bottom two.

The bottom two are:

BeautyQueen_96: The scenery was about you and the animals, but the animals look like thier just randomly placed there. For every scenery, your supposed to have a pose. Yes, you had a pose, but I couldn't quite figure out which arm went to whose body. So, you need to practice on covering up. Also, I am not sure why the stylists were there. You had flipped one to put on the other side, which resulted in the shirt that originaly sait 'Stylist' became backwords.

LolLara123: You are in the bottom two for a few reasons. When all of the judges saw your first scenery, we were in awe about how your expression matched perfectly with what you wanted to have. Then, one of the judges found out that you used SuperTigerLily's medoll. You had said that it was because you forgot to change your medoll. I must say though, when I am in modeling competitions, I also do my medoll before I start my scenery. Because of what happened, I took away 5 points from your final score. Also, your expression on your second scenery wasn't as impressivle.

Who will be going home after Task 1?


I am sorry, but, BeautyQueen_96, you are going home. You did a good job, but you didn't interact with your animal like you were supposed too. I hope to see more of you in the future.

Now, your next task will come one Monday July 11th. I would relax on Saturday and Sunday, because your next task is out of this world, if you get my hint.

With Love,
Mandy

Cycle 3: Task 1

Hello Dollies,

We are now starting Cycle 3, and I am very excitied to see what each of you are going to do! I know there are 9 girls, but two more were added for reasons that are disclosed. Welcome to Weisswurst and Sam.Miley! Both of them will be joining the other 9 girls, so that make 10 girls and 1 guy competing in Cycle 3.

Before we start, I would like to go over some new rules that were made to make this Cycle easier.

1) You MUST complete the task BEFORE THE DEADLINE.
Yes, that is an obvious one, but you would be suprised at how many people actually don't. If you have a GOOD reason, like a trip, etc, then please contact me before you leave. If not, then I will NOT count your task if it is late.

2) Please create a Tiny Pic.
Ahh, yes, the stardoll glitches. It happened to me yesterday, when I forgot to Tiny Pic my scenery, and my outfit glitched. So, if you don't want points off, I suggest you do Tiny Pic. Also, you do NOT have to create a Tiny Pic account, you can just make one.

3) For each task (unless told changed) you have FIVE days to complete.
Wow, you must be thinking I am crazy! But, alas, I am not. To make the Cycle much more smoother, I give you only FIVE days to complete the task. Within the next two days will be the elimination ceremony. I have it all worked out, so, please do the task within 5 days!

4) Describe your scenery!!
When sceneries open up to me, I love it! Most of the time, they do! But, I would like to hear what your scenery meant to YOU! So describe it please!

5) You MUST pose every scenery!
Posing shows TRUE modeling skills. True, you can still do a great scenery with out posing, but if you want to get full points for each task, I consider you POSE!

Would you like to know what your task is?

Animals

Animals are used quite often in modeling photo shoots. I think it adds more depth to the photo and also they fact that models know how to use them. With each animal, they have to figure out the expression they want. If it is a tiger, maybe fierce. Puppy, a soft look. You also have to compliment the clothing, to the animal.
Here are some examples of modeling with the animals.

Because I do not know what kinds of animals you have, I am not going to be assigning you your animals. I want you to choose your animals, how you are going to arrange it, and your pose. Please create the scenery in the club's sceneries or I will NOT count it as a scenery, and you WILL be elimanted.

The 'Animal' Task is due: July 5 

With Love,
Mandy

Final Task: Part 2

Hello Models,

First, I would like to say that the reason there was no elmination ceremony was because Weisswurst had to drop out for personal reasons. She was a great contestant, so it is sad to see her go. Cinammongirl and Sam.Miley are in the Final Two!

I am holding a party for the Final Two, but it is not an open party. I invited people who I thought should come.

Alright, onto the task:

For your final task, each of you are going to make a scenery based on something that you love. I am not going to assign you something, because I thought that it should be what you love, not what I love! :P

The due date is: June 9th

Task 5 Elmination Ceremony

Hello Models!

You all did very good on this task, but for some of you, I expected better than what I got. The judges did also. For this task, you were assigned a music video and a singer and got to choose a part that you would recreate.

It was tough choosing a winner for this task, but when all the scores totaled up, this model was one point from getting a perfect score. Who was that? Sam.Miley! Congradulations. But guess what? You get imunity for next task. You DO NOT have to do this up coming task. The two girls left will battle it out to be in the finals with you. That's a little twist don't you think!

The bottom two:

Weisswurst: Your sceneries are always perfect, but the fact that you didn't have a pose dropped the scores down.

Lipgloss_Stick: Your medoll didn't look like Taylor Swift and you didn't do a pose..

Who is safe? Weisswurst. I am sorry, Lipgloss_Stick, but you are elminated.

'Till Next Time,
Mandy

Task 5

Hello Models!

Wow! Only 4 models left! That means that this is going to get more and more intenese! To give you something to work for (besides all the other prizes) I am going to reveal ONE of the prizes! The winner will get an interview with "Rawr Magazine" Excited? This magazine is owned by StarTishThe2nd and although this magazine/club doesn't have alot of memebers, I have a good feeling that this magazine is going to make it big! I hope each and every one of you joins the club for more updates, etc. Here is the club link:
RawrMagazine

Okay, onto your task:

Before I tell you your task, I am going to assign each of you a music video. Why? You will find out soon!

Sam.Miley: Justin Bieber -"Baby"
Weisswurst: Ke$ha - "Tik Tok"
Cinnamongirl: Lady Gaga - "Just Dance"
Lipgloss_Stick: Taylor Swift - "You Belong With Me"

Okay, for this task, you are to make your medoll look as close as possible to the singer I assigned you. Then you are to create a scenery with your medoll in one of the scenes in the music video that is also assigned to you! You can choose any scene, as long as the singer is in it. When you are done, if possible, include a TinyPic that has the actual scene you are replicating.

This task is due: May 5th, 2011

'Till Next Time,
Mandy

Task 4: Elmination

Hello Models,

I am soooo sorry for the long wait. School has been tough, with the CRCT to tests every week, it was hard for me to score all of you.

For this task, you had to create a trend that you had to wear and the winner with the highest score, I had to wear their trend! This was a hard task and each and every one of you did fantastic! Now, who is the winner?

Weisswurst! You did great! I love the idea of layering the dress with a skirt and top! It wasn't the most original idea, but you still got great scores from the judges!

Who Is Elminated?

Thegrilwholived: I am sorry, but you are elminated. You trend was okay, but the shorts over tights is sort of already a trend. You usually excel in all of your tasks that you do, but this one fell flat! Don't give up! Cycle 3 Auditions are going on now!

Task 5 will be up soon!

'Till Next Time,
Mandy

Cycle 2: Task 4

Dear Models,

Hello! Wow, down to the Final 5 already! You know what that means right? That means the tasks will get harder and harder! Before I go and tell you your task, I first would like to say the Cycle 3 Auditions have started in the club! Okay...on to your task.

In the fashion world, it is very tough! You can either swim at the top or sink to the bottom. Many famous fashion icons have started trends (eg. Coco Chanel= Coco Chanel Dress etc.) that other people want to wear.

Above is an example of some sketches that are to look like actual Coco Chanel dresses. Now a days, you don't find to many people that walk around wearing Coco Chanel dresses, but there is a very  famous hairstyle that you will find on most boys: The Bieber. Now, he may not be a 'fashion icon' but his hair certainly is. The point being, fashion icons create trends.

What is your task?

For Task 4, you have to start your own trend! Your medoll MUST  in an original outfit! Example: layering an outfit would be a good idea or making an outfit our of pillows. The second part of Task 4 is to convince each of the judges on why they should wear that trend. The judges will not reply to your message because that would be cheating. You will keep your outfit on untill the elminitation ceremony to see if any other people will try the trend!

Oh and a few other things! The winner of this task will have immunity from being elminated from the next elmination ceremony! The best part of winning is........I will wear the winning trend! :)  Good Luck to all!

'Till Next Time,

Mandy

Cycle 2: Elmination Ceremony

Hello Models!


As you progress throughout this cycle, you will notice how the tasks get a little bit harder each time! The task that you had to do was replicate a photoshoot from "America's Next Top Model" Each of you did a different scenery. We also had a guest judge this week: alw1234 Thank you for coming on and guest judging! It was great to have another input on how the models did! So thanks again! :)


For Task 3, the winner is........................cinammongirl Congradulations! You are safe from being elminated this elmination ceremony!

The bottom two are: Gretelcass and Sam.Miley

Gretelcass: Your scenery was good, but both me and the judges agree it would of been nice to see a pose. In the original scenery, there were clouds in the background, but in your's, you left the sky empty.

Sam.Miley:  Your scenery was well thought out, but at times it was a bit messy. Will you make it through?


The person who will be elminated is.....................GretelCass You usually do amazing sceneries! But this one fell short. There will be plenty of other opportunities to participate in more things! Don't give up! :)

The next task will be posted soon,

'Till Next Time,
Mandy

Cycle 2: Task 3

Hello Models!

As we are getting closer and closer to the final two, the tasks will be getting harder! As you all know, "America's Next Top Model" helps find models and make them famous!

For this task, you are to create a scenery based on your favorite photoshoot that "America's Next Top Model" has done. Before you create your scenery, either comment under this post or under the disscussion in the club, the link of your photoshoot. The reason why is because I don't want two girls to do the same scenery. So once I reply to your comment, saying yes, then you may create the scenery IN THE CLUB'S SCENERY. Any sceneries that are NOT in the club's will NOT be counted and you will be disquailfied. If you choose a scenery that someone else already got, then I will tell you to please pick a different one.  The deadline for this task is March 4, 2011.
There is also going to be a guest judge.....alw1234! :)
'Till Next Time,
Mandy

Cycle 2 Elmination Ceremony

Hello Models

For Task, you were assigned a theme and had to design one part of that outfit in StarDesign. Usually there is one winner, but the score for the highest was tied! So both Sam.Miley and cinammongirl had the highest score! Congradulations!

The bottom two are.................Lazysimone and Weisswurst.

Weisswurst: So far, in every task you do, you do your best! In this task, your outfit was unique, but there was no design from StarDesign. That is why you are in the bottom two.

Lazysimone: Your outfit fit your category perfectly, but like Weisswurst, you did not have a StarDesign.

The person who is elminated is....................

Lazysimone I am sorry, but you are elminated. There will be plenty of other chances to show the model in you. Don't give up!

Task 3 will be posted soon, so stay tuned!

Mandy

Cycle 2 Elmination Ceremony

Hello Models!
This was the very first task in Cycle 2 and it went off to a great start! For your task, you had to create a scenery that represented your fashion icon. The background also had to represent to time period. The winner of this task won by 4 points! That is how close this one was! Congradulations to Sam.Miley for winning this task. But now onto the bottom two.

The bottom two are:

Rheana1997: Your fashion icon was Coco Chanel. In the scenery, you made your doll very small, so therefore it was hard to see the detail you put into the dolls face, hair, and makeup. The background of the scenery was packed with all sorts of fashion things. I think you did well on making your medoll look like her.

Lazysimone: Your fashion icon was Miranda Crosgove. Your medoll looked like her, but I don't understand the scenery. You had some flowers on a dresser, and some lights on the other side. For your callbacks task, that was the same pose, so I am not sure if you know any different poses.



The person who will be moving on to Task 2 is............ Lazysimone! Congradulations on moving on, just make sure to do different poses! Rheana1997 I am sorry, but you didn't make it. Your scenery was well done, just rushed and packed. There will be plenty of other chances to enter into competitions!

Your second task will be up very soon!
'Till Next Time,
Mandy

Cycle 2; Task 1

Dear Models,
First I would like to congradulate each and every one of you for making it into Cycle 2! You all deserve it and I can't wait to see what you do for this task!

Whats your task? For your first task, I want to see what you can do! You are to model an outfit the is inspired by your favorite fashion icon (can be anyone from Coco Chanel to Selena Gomez). You are then to make a scenery that represents the time era that you are in (If you are going to do Selena Gomez it would be more of a modern background. If you are doing Coco Chanel it would be in the 1970's or 1980's) I would also like you to have your medoll pose. Change your hair and makeup to look more like the person you are inspired by>I know this task may be difficult but I believe in all of you!

If you know how to do Tiny Pic, you can. In fact, I greatly encourage you to use Tiny Pic because of scenery glitches.

The task is due FEBUARY 6, 2011. Please make the scenery in the clubs scenery.

'Till Next Time,
Mandy

The Final Elimination Ceremony

Hello Models!


First, I would like to say, congradulations to Mally and Amy for making it this far! You both should be proud!


For the final task, you had to create a scenery that was like a commercial selling a makeup! Here is what I thought of each of your sceneries:

Mallygirl2234: Your scenery was great, but the pose wasn't the hardest of the poses. I love how you included the brushes as the V. It was very artistic! One of the things that disappointed me was the fact that you didn't have a discription!

Amy_0202:  Your medoll pose was great! Your background was black which made your eyes automatically drawn to your medoll. If you didn't have the flowers, the scenery would have been a little bland. The makeup that was on your medoll was good, but it would of been better if the medoll was a little larger so I could see it better.


Before I say who won, I would first like to look back and see how far both of you have come!

Amy_0202: You were already experience when you first entered which gave you a leg up in the tasks. With every task you did, you did it with presicion. I am sure both the judges and I looked forward to seeing what you were going to do for each task. Your unique sense of style is truely one of a kind. Sometimes, we wondered how you pulled of the look, but the you somehow always pulled it off!

Mallygirl2234: When you first came here, you weren't the best model. If I were to be asked about what I thought of you now, I would say you have come a long way! You have grown as a model! Your poses are well done and your sceneries are well thought out and improve every time!


Before I announce the winner, I would like to say the prizes that will be won!

-Modeling Contract with Sugar Magazine  http://sugarmagazineonstardoll.blogspot.com/ 
-Modeling Feature in Entourage Magazine http://entouragemagazine.blogspot.com/
-A judge in Cycle 2
-A spot in Miss Diamond_VIP (which starts after the Cycle 10 winner is "crowned")


The winner, of the very first cycle for Diamond_VIP ever is.....................



amy_0202    Congradulations! You worked hard and earned your spot!

Mallygirl2234, don't give up! You did great! I am sure next time we see you, you will be making it big in the model industry!

Amy_0202 please contact me once you read this so I can tell you what to do next!

'Till Next Time,
~Mandy  ♥

Elmination Ceremony!

Hello Models!
Amy and Mally, you both did great! This could of been a hard task, but you two made it look simple! Now, on to the judging.

Amy_0202:

Your Katy Perry looked terrific! You could tell it was Katy Perry just by looking at it!

Mallygirl2234:

You were assigned Lady Gaga and I have to say, that I wasn't sure if it would be to hard, but it wasn't! You captured her look exactly!

So, what you have been waiting for, the winner of Cycle 1 is.......................not going to be announced just yet!! You are goinging to have another task! The scores of this task will be combined with the scores from the the last task. The person with the highest score wins! Ready to know what your task is?

You have to create a scenery selling makeup. You can make up a name, or use its original name. You are to wear ONLY that makeup and have the background fit in with the theme. Like always, have a pose! Explain what your make up is and why I/the judges should buy it.

If you know how to do tiny pic, you can. If you don't, YOU DON"T HAVE TO!

The deadline is: January 15, 2011. In two days. Do the scenery in the Clubs scenery so it is easier to find!

'Till Next Time,
~Mandy

Task 3

Hello Models!
As you know, there are only two left! Amy_0202 and Mallygirl2234  Okay, for this task I decided to use two of the biggest fashion icons of MUSIC! Are you ready for your task?

For your task, I am assigning each of you one of the two biggest fashion icons in the music industry!
Amy_0202: Katy Perry
Mallygirl2234: Lady Gaga

You are to dress you doll up in clothes inspired by her or something that looks like she would wear! But are you ready for the catch? It has to be something she ACTUALLy wore! For example: For Katy Perry, you could find an outfit that looks like something she wore in her "California Gurls" ; For Lady Gaga. you could wear the outfit she wore to the Grammys.   Those are JUST examples! You don't have to use them. You have to make your hair, makeup and accessories look like whoever you are assigned! Once you have created your outfit, save it into your albulm and say where/when your icon wore this outfit and why you chose it!

Like always, if you decide you can't do the task, then you will automatically be eliminated.

I know that you all are wanting to know what the prizes are, right? Well, I will post them with the elimination ceremony!

If you know how to do Tiny Pic, you can. If you do not, IT IS NOT REQUIRED!
The deadline is January 15, 2011. Please complete as soon as possible. If both of the models finish early, then the judges will start judging right away!

'Till Next Time,
Mandy

Elimination Ceremony

Hello Models!

First, I would like to say congradulations to all of you for making it to the final three! You have worked hard to get here! For this task, it was challenging. You had to create a scenery thats theme was Italian Vogue!Your scenery was judged on: the theme, outift, potential, and despcription of scenery.

The Bottom Two:


Sissimba1: Your beach scenery was good and well thought out, but not exactly Italian Vogue. The makeup was good as was your outfit, but will that help you get through to the next round?

Mallygirl2234: Your outfit was great and matched well with the scenery. You see Italian Vogue when you look at it, but as for the falling flowers?

Who stays?



Mallygirl2234: Your scenery was creative and great! The outfit was well matched and classy. The makeup went perfect with the neutral colors.

Sissimba1: I am sorry, but you are not going through to the next round. Your scenery wasn't excatly what you would find in an Italian Vogue magazine. Maybe it isn't your time yet to win Diamond_VIP, but never give up! You are unique!! :)


Amy_0202 is the winner of this task! Your scenery was everything we were looking for and more! You really did your research! You used your creativity and made long, wispy hair and a long dress made out of dresses! You deserve to win this task.

'Till Next Time,
Mandy
