lipglosschaos, I have to drop out. My laptop got severely damaged on Tuesday and the monitor is literally completely broken in half from the bottom half. I have to get it replaced and installing my game with all the right custom content on the desktop computer would be a pain.



edit: I'm a little confused. I have two scores I'm assuming the latter scores are mine?

I think she mixed up some of the contestants

Thanks for the info sorry it was so lacking it's just I'm more of a person who answers what needs to be answered I don't go into detail much I'm more of an photographer then a writer so to speak and her creative image was simple because there's nothing glamours about were she lives most of these girls are feminine beauties my character was suppose to lack in that as she is a tomboy to match her living location. So I gave her a rough edge you say you want the person in the photo and that's her.

P.S The make-up issue is because most of my photography is with indie rock girls and tom boys so as you can imagine my make-up isn't glorious and neat most of it is rough.

Just recently, I moved to Munich to pursue a modeling job in Elle Magazine. The other models and staff are very nice and are perfect for the occasional laugh. Everyone there is so kind and helping that it creates this cozy work environment. True, the things they sometimes make me wear are a bit embarrassing, but after I’m done pouting about the costume, we all have a laugh.

My friends and I frequently have many late night outings. It’s a great way to socialize and relax. We may go out to the movies, have sleepovers(you’re never too old for sleepovers), or maybe even have a beer or two. Beer has been proven to lower stress.

At least once a week, I volunteer at the orphanage. It’s kind of a family tradition that started with my grandmother. She was an orphan for several years until a gracious family came and adopted her. When she grew older, she volunteered almost daily at the orphanage, tutoring the kids and playing with them. She got my mother interested, and my mother got me interested. I continue to do what my grandmother did today. It gives you that warm, bubbly feeling when you see the kids’ faces light up when you come. I plan on adopting one of them when I settle down and get married.

As a mentioned in my application, I have a love of literature. In college, my English teacher told me I have a wonderful writing style, and asked me if I had ever thought about pursuing a career in writing. I said no. But her question made me think about it, and I decided to submit my book to a publisher. They rejected it. So I sent it to some other publishers. They also rejected it. After that, I gave up on a writing career and decided to only write as a place to pour out the funky little creatures that accumulate inside my mind. Now that I’m modeling, there's little time to begin really refine my writing skill. While I’m no J.K. Rowling, being a professional author is my impossible dream.

What do you love most about the daily life you live? What makes your life happy and special?

I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such a wonderful life. Modeling is a rewarding job and I never feel over pressured by taxes and debt, and as a child, my life was filled with episodes of smiles and laughter. I have so many wonderful friends that my life is full of happiness today, too. Many people out there in the world today, including Germany, are barely scraping by. Also, in other countries, it is not uncommon that girls are abused and married off at a very young age. I feel very lucky to have a pleasant and safe life that many in other places do not.

An insane wackjob decided there wasn't enough room in his house for a baby grand piano, so he decided to "donate" it to the park. One day, Alex felt drawn to the piano (I think she was possessed) and erratically played it despite how horribly out of tune it was. We have some real weirdos in this world.

Actually I've seen piano's pop up in the most random places...maybe it's not reached America yet but for a while there in the UK it seemed to be the popular thing to do in terms of street art (or something, idk). Somebody would plonk a piano down in a park/busy shopping street and people would just go up and play. A couple of years ago I watched a hoodied up kid who couldn't have been more than 14 stroll up and do a perfect rendition of a piano heavy Muse song (can't for the life of me remember which one now) on a purple piano in the middle of the high street.

The eyeshadow I use is base on world adventure egyptian eyeshadow, who we all know have problems with the game (can only be wear in everyday) I didn't realize it until I was going to resize it and my game is too heavy to be open again without crashing my laptop

There's a mod for that ...Sadly I didn't find it until it was too late for my first round entry

Talking of, I just realised I forgot to ask if I can submit mine late, Lipglosschaos? I've got other deadlines this week and just not been able to finish all the images.

Really? I thought that your makeup was all cool and exoticy-ish. I guess I'm not really in on the "in" in fashion. Sigh...
By the way, great job! Leelavathi is awesome

My job at the cattle ranch is to look after the horses like feeding and grooming them and making sure there alright I even have a degree in being a vet so in case the horses get sick I could threat them myself. I have loved horses ever since I was a little girl so working with them is a fantastic job I really enjoy.

Enjoying nature like camping and fishing are my favorite ways of letting off steam. Why because when I was little my father used to take me out camping sometimes we wouldn't even bother bringing food my father just brought his shotgun and we would be eating kangaroo for dinner.

When I was little a nice lady called Margret Tilly opened a place were she would teach children who lived to far away from schools and parents were to busy to home-school them. I was her first student and she was a very nice lady but a couple of years ago she came down with bowel cancer and died to keep her legacy going on I grouped together a bunch of people from different parts of the outback and we now run her business and I am one of the teachers.

Painting I love it and I don't want to brag but i'm pretty good at it. I usually paint landscapes and single objects but i want to get in to portraits but right now it's my weak point. To help me with it the lady who cooks at the cattle station is actually a painter herself and she does portraits so we made a deal that i would teach her landscapes and she would teach me portraits.

What do you love most about the daily life you live?
It has everything I enjoy and I love the people I work with they are so friendly. Working in the outback is also very easy for me since I grew up here and it always feels like home. Choosing a modeling courier was very hard to. Soon I will be flying out to Sydney for a photo shoot but at least I know there somewhere I can go to that will always fill me with happiness.

What makes your life happy and special?
This job is one in a million working here is something not every body does and it makes me feel happy and special. My life is filled with adventure I sometimes think i'm living in a story book with the adventures I get into and things I see every day there are no worries in my life well maybe I worry whats for dinner. Living in the only country with red dirt is the biggest thing for me.

I don't want to upset anyone, but I think it's too late for bonus round now, it was open until December 24, so I guess some of you may be not scored. I think the host just forgot to update the main page.

how i told the host my entry would be late and it was real close to Christmas when she wanted them in she can't not accept it when I told her before the due date that it would be late.

Can the host please tell me if my bonus entry is counted for cause if not this competition is really starting to annoy me.

Actually I thought so too
It's somehow cool to me :p


I don't have time for the bonus round my internet connection is being a until today

Bonus Rounds were due the 24th, no exceptions, so unfortunately, LovelyDia101, yours cannot be counted

I haven't gotten any scores yet for this round, but it'll only be a short post anyway because these entries are not due until January 13th. Please get them in as soon as possible- I don't want anyone to worry about it amidst all the Holiday mayhem, but I also don't want you all to just blow it off because you can. I'll be sending along information for Round 3 sometime today- this will be the easiest round in the competition by far.

Eh shit happens what can you do

I still think that is a stupid rule. Because it was xmas week and everyone has to work and so forth, but ya know I am a moaning bitch and moan about everything I possibly can lol

Something was brought up to me about this, but I did say it was due Christmas Eve. I'm sorry if you think that's stupid, but they're not worth that much anyway and if you are truly as busy as you all say you are then you shouldn't even be bothering with extra work in the first place.

Neither of you are being 'moany bitches'

My turn to be a moany bitch:

1) Forgive me if I’m understanding it wrong but if the whole bonus round is complete we get 5 points? In the first round there was only 4.5 points between the top and bottom score. So no, 5 points on their own isn’t a lot but it can still make the difference between first and last place! That’s why some people (myself included) complained about it.

2) To the second part of the quote: The first round is an intro but still usually sets the tone for the rest of the contest. Many probably signed up expecting a standard 2-3 pic per round contest based on your first round and will probably have figured that into their schedules...I don’t think any of us expected to have to find time for 8 pics and a fair bit of text. I hesitantly put my entry in just after you posted the second round but only because I’d already put all the work in and in all honestly, I fully expected you to rethink the requirements after several complaints and one withdrawal. I’m just saying If you don’t want people to be shocked and surprised by the workload then either make it similar to the first round or mention before the contest starts that future rounds will be more than double the workload of the first round (inc bonus shots).

Greyscale is allowed in any of these pictures.

You may add fonts, logos, and other embellishments to all pictures in the Bonus Round only. You may also include other models in the pictures as long as they serve a purpose (in the Creative Shot, they need serve no purpose at all). Your model can be against a plain white background or against a scene.

3 days??? Are you serious?! In previous bonus we have the whole WEEK!!! And this one requires more shots!! I'm sure it's against the rules to change the deadlines between rounds to shorter ones (even if it's a bonus) without a notice! Rounds should have been posted Dec. 24 and as they weren't - the deadline should start from the day they were posted!!! Otherwise it's a total bullshit to count the deadline since 24 when no one even knows the round!!!
I will mention it again - the rounds MUST HAVE the same amount of time between them and they should start from the moment they are posted!!! Otherwise, you MUST inform the contestants about the shorter deadline! They can be extended, but it also should be made with announcement!
I hope that it's just a mistake and will be fixed soon, otherwise I will must to involve admins here.

Woah now, no need to get feisty I will change it to TUESDAY, JANUARY 3rd. Sorry about that...

I also think that you need to give people more time for rounds. Its ridiculous to do a good job at this time of year for limited time. Because your aloud to extened the round times. They can be more then a week the mods do not mind. This is causing the contestants stress rather then having fun. This contest is such a brilliant idea, you have done well coming up with the ideas, but using the fast forward button to get through this fast is redonkulous. I wish you would just think about this over more. feel free to pm me if you want to talk about it.

lipglosschaos, Elexis is trying to help you by pointing out that your requests are unreasonable. Please remember that this contest is supposed to be fun, and that participants are people who have real life, work and family commitments. Elexis is a moderator and should be heeded.

Also, I'm a little confused by your deadlines.





So which date do participants need to complete this round by? Perhaps you should review your round requirements and your deadlines, to make things clear and reasonable for participants to complete.

The way I understand it if it helps is that all rounds have a due date of about a week but only the bonus round has to be in by that date. For the "normal" part of the round as long as you PM lipgloss to say you're gonna be late you can submit it up to 13 Jan which I pressume is the end of the contest. Bonus rounds cant be late.
