Welcome, designers, to Phashion Phalla! I am Tim Gunn, and I will be your guide in this exciting competition that will pit your wits and fashion sense against each other!
Each day, you will be issued a challenge.
You will have until 9PM PST to submit a picture of your design to IreneDAdler. Any type of image will be accepted, be it a handdrawn picture, an MSPaint doodle, a picture from real-life, or a Google image search. Your submissions will be posted in that night's narration, and your fellow designers will vote who's
!in and who’s
!out. Any ties will be broken by RNG. The loser will leave the competition, and the winner will receive immunity for that day.
Just like in any other business, however, not everyone is what they seem, and some will do just about anything to get ahead. So keep your needle and your wits about you, because you might need both!
Now, let’s move on to your first challenge. As you know, Queen Amidala is a bit of a fashion maven:
Your first challenge is to design a gown for her to wear to the next Senate session. While designing her outfit, you may want to consider how your design could both command attention and inspire respect, so that the outfit may help the queen to win the hearts of the Senators.
Ok people, make it work!
The first day will end at
Tuesday, 12/04, at 9PM PST.
There will be no voting on the first day, as, well, there is nothing to vote on yet. Feel free to post your works in progress for feedback, though. Or make snarky comments about the other designers.

Rules:
Standard phalla rules apply. Vote for the winner in lime, loser in red, and retract in Aqua.
Picture submissions may be slightly NSFW, but use common sense and don't submit goatse or anything. Make sure that wherever your picture is being hosted is a clean site; rehost it on photobucket or something if you're not sure. Also, try to keep your pictures down to a reasonable size. 500x500 is the recommended size. No bitmaps, please. H-scroll rapage and 2MB files are bad, mkay?
To speed up the making of the submissions post, please make your submissions in the following format:

Obviously, since this is a fashion game, commenting on other people's submission is at least half the fun, but try to avoid mean-spirited remarks. Play nice, people!
Every player received the vanillager PM:
It all started with going to the fabric store with your mother for new curtains. As you walked past rows and rows of the myriad bolts of fabric, you couldn’t help but appreciate the elegant drape and cascade of velvet, the crisp luster of taffeta, the whispery delicacy of chiffon… You are inspired to turn fabric into a means of expression. Clothes are your passion. You have been selected out of thousands of applicants because you have honed your love of clothes into a sharp sense of style and creativity. This competition could be your entrée into big-time recognition of your life-long passion!
Ability: Being fabulous
Clarifications:
NNID: Hakkekage
Uhhhhhhh....
Crap.
PM it to me, please.
Also, abilities aren't active until Day 2 for the same reason there is no voting: so that everyone has a chance to submit at least once.
And I'll edit in a link to here in the sign-up thread.
edit: Nevermind, I'm a forumz noob.
and: Are we allowed to show other people before voting?
NNID: Hakkekage
1) No, it doesn't have to be in color. I am actually placing very little restrictions on the image itself. Just try to imagine what will make people vote for you.
2) Yes, feel free to use this thread or PMs to get feedback, bounce ideas off each other, etc.
A: You give her a skirt of burnished copper.
I'm designing for a queen?
Well, being one myself this shant be too difficult.
Tata, my darlings.
It contains a helm cast in the finest leather.
Ah, finished. This was almost too easy.
Now to watch you all fail and squirm fruitlessly.
None of you can best my masterpiece.
I am not very good at photoshop so I whacked away at my drawing with the brush tool
Also no tablet
NNID: Hakkekage
Me and GIS are best friends.
And another thing: you may submit more stuff if you change your mind or something, I will post your last submission. Just, uh... don't go crazy and flood my inbox, k :P
But she must be backed by strength, with strong commanding actions, to do what must be done.
Therefore, I have designed the perfect dress for the inagural occasion:

Yep.
She's a queen, not a prattling five year old.
Ha-rumph!

Cast from the finest Gungan Leather comes the latest fashion du Squashua per Amidala.
NNID: Hakkekage
Squashua... hmm, you're name will not soon be forgotten.
It looks like Jar Jar ate Natalie Portman, put on her dress a-la the big bad wolf, and was caught sucking on her decapitated head. O_o
how did I miss this
I'm totally sending them to you regardless
You're just jealous.
Bitch.
At least I have two days to think something up...
I know seriously.
Damn you ...people that can draw.
However, Le Spec is very secretive.
You will have to wait for it.
Unfortunately for my espionage-ish side, all I get is "In we some guys on suits try wrestle the dogs. only in fights oh, the"
