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! (:

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

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
