Task 9!

Final 3!

Girls, I am sooo proud of you! From here on it's anyone's game, so give it your best with the next task!
For this task we will have a special guest judge... It will blow you away, trust me! But first I will announce the task ;).
So this week will be again a two part task. The first task is the main task and will count more than the second part. For the first task you have to create a scenery inspired by a famous painting. The paintings I have assigned to you have poses which you can't really translate into Stardoll-scenery poses. Just try to get into the vibe of the painting and make a high fashion editorial out of it! It's very common that you see a fairytale or a historical event which worked as an inspiration for fashion editorials. It can be simple or very extravagant, but make sure that your story fits the inspiration. Therefore may do some research on your assignment or the artist who painted it, or even the time in which it was made. Everything can help!

So here they are:

Ioana
'Birth of Venus' by Sandro Botticelli

Elle
'The girl with the pearl earring' by Jan Vermeer


Marte
'Whistler's mother' by James Abbott McNeill Whistler

If you have any questions or need help feel free to ask me! I would be more than happy to help you!

Now for the second part of the task. I got the inspiration from a modeling club I am currently in. It is also part of the current task and I just loved the idea! So I thought: why not do it for Pearl.Models, too? And I thought that it would be more than perfect to have the person as a guest judge, who owns the club. Now you want to know who this person is, huh? But first comes the second part:


You all have the photo function at your page, which you have to use to take polaroids of your medoll! We want to see if you are a natural beauty, so minimise your make up! The outfit shouldn't be too crazy. You have to imagine that you go to a virtual 'Go-See'(I guess you all know the term?!). You want to show your personality through your look and catch the clients attention without being over the top. After you took the photo paste the link of your photo along with your scenery description. Even in Dollywood it is important to make a good first impression. Possible clients may visit your page and think, wow I want this girl to be in my magazine. There are a lot of magazines and agencies who choose their models by surfing around and visiting tons of people. You should be always prepared ;).


DEADLINE: The 2. June 2011

I think it will be enough time. And don't forget: This is the LAST task before the finale! I'm really proud of all of you :*

Good Luck!

Love, Melinda





Wait... did I forget something? Ahh, yes! I forgot to tell you who will be the guest judge this week. It's Mel! Better known as 'bluegreen86' . One of Stardoll's super models, like the Naomie Campell of the 90's. I hope you like this comparison Mel :P. She owns THE modeling club called MelsModels. And who knows, maybe you will be in the next cycle?

Elimination 8!

I am really really sorry for the long delay, but school was quite stressing and so on. But now we are back on track!

Sooo I hope you remember the last task.. No?! Well the most important thing about it is probably the prize! The winner will be walking on the runway of Linus Leonardssons(Dog_boy96) upcoming collection of Kharma. So without further delay I will announce which lucky girl will get the real modeling gig!





The winner for this task is...







Marte!
For me it was a tie between You Marte and Elle, but at the end of the day Linus had the final decision in his hands and he wanted you. So congrats, you can be very proud of yourself. Both your sceneries where stunning.What you can work on: on the shape of your body. I also think that you could have used real trousers our jeans for the guy to wear. And the motorbike wasn't placed correctly. It should have been much lower, because if the ground was so high we would see more of the guys legs. But still amazing job!

Elle:Your poses were full of creativity and innovation! I loved it. But the small mistakes(you know what I mean) can really be distracting and destroy the overall look, think about the whole scene, how styling and background harmonize. Also: Don't forget the face!

Bottom Two:

Ioana: I don't know what happened this week, but your scenery really lacked at all points. Especially the Edie Sedgewick one. Edie is one of my idols and I was expecting much after I read the explanation but the pose, clothing and whole background weren't convincing, you fall from the top to the bottom.

Isabelle: Your sceneries this week were good. Just good, nothing else. I was expecting a bit more since your sceneries weren't very consistent. You won one task, but everyone else won even more tasks!

So who stays?




Ioana. You are the one who stays! I hope that you bring your A game next week and impress us again.
I am sorry Isabelle, but you have to go. I felt like you weren't a hundred percent comitted to this competition, but you have to give your all every single time. I know you have it in yo, that's why you made it this far, but unfortunately you didn't manage to show us the true model in you. Don't stop modeling, but just choose one competition and bring your A game every singy task :).

So final 3! You know what that means?! Only one task left before the finale. You have to show us what you've got because the next task will be different from everything we did before.
And a huge thank you to Linus! You were a wonderful guestjudge and I can't wait to see Marte on the runway :).

Love, Melinda.
