2008 Avatar With Fashion

PINKY · 12-03-2007, 17:41

A week after the Miss Entropia 2008 beauty competition, Richard Devil, Xzion and Punker put together Entropia's biggest ever fashion show. This time, it was about style, sophistication and elegance rather than beauty alone.

The event was called "The 2 in 1 Fashion Show", consisting of both a competition for the most stylish avatar in Entropia, as well as a fashion show displaying some of Entropia's finest clothing ranges.

"Putting this show together took a great deal of effort and we had a number of people helping. In addition to the three of us we also had help from Kintradim KC Crux behind the scenes and from Ringo Globex Starr of Globex designs who helped us with our graphics for advertising the event."

In addition to actually setting up the fashion show, the three amigos also arranged for sponsorship from some of the top fashion houses in Entropia, namely Etopia and Freyr, who both ran the fashion shows in the breaks of the competition and donated prizes to the competition winner. They also had Sarah, Buzz, Korn and Alive donating everything from prizes to items to help the evening go with a bang.

The event was held on the beautiful grounds of Deathifier's Treasure Island Castle, a fit setting for such a prestigeous event! For a great deal of the competition, MindArk themselves came to watch, represented by the MA Official Avatar "Leeza".

Soon after arriving, the crowds started to gather and eventually the competitors were called inside the castle to receive their instructions for the main event. Despite a couple of late arrivals (you know who you are!) and a little lagging, the competition got underway shortly after 7pm.

There were a huge number of entrants, but Richard, Xzion and Punker managed to gather them all into a group for a photo for the front page; you can also see Mindstar9's video of the entire competition HERE.

Each entrant paraded down the stairs of the castle in turn showing off their outfits as best they could, while the judges (MS9, Sacha Lhava Khan, Skippie, and Punker) discussed their favourites in a private team chat.

While the judges were debating the finer points of fashion, part one of Etopia and Freyrs fashion show took place. (I have posted all the wonderful outfits at the end of this post for you to enjoy!).

Finally the five male and five female finalists were announced...

The 2008 Male Finalists

Each finalist had another opportunity to show an alternative outfit, although some stuck with what worked best and kept to the same look as the first round. Once the second round was over with, we headed out to the north courtyard for the final judging...

... A split decision by the judges left it as a draw between GoodRich for the boys and Light for the girls. To decide the ultimate winner, the audience was asked to choose a winner by standing next to their favourite.

After a judge's stalemate, the public is asked to cast its vote

The choice was clear, Light was the winner! Goodrich gracefully bowed to her superior style and I got the opportunity to have a quick chat with Entropia's latest "Avatar with Fashion!"

THE WINNER!!

"This feels so good!" says Light, "I've never won a fashion event before." Light took the crown wearing a cognac coat, Storm Kolor Jeans, Star Satin marine Shoes, a Lodod Tank top and topped off with a pair of Bono Shades.
When asked who she rated as her biggest threat to the pole position, she quickly named Skam, the one Avatar who is famed for her wide range of clothes and sense of style, yet controversially didn't make the Final 5 ladies. "At first I thought Skam would win, but when she didn't make the final, I thought Mootz, because her outfits were really great."
Light plans to defend the title next year with an all new outfit.
"Can I thank Etopia for making all my non-looted clothes, and of course Sarah my colourer!"
Finally, Light will be better prepared next year on the non-fashion side of things... "My dog chewed through my tele-cable halfway through and it took me 30 mins to fix it. I didn't think I would make it back!"

I have a feeling the dog will be tied up outside come next years event!
