Challenge 3: Pretty in Pink
milk cap (Sheenah)
Score: 7
Comments: Milk originally was given a 6.5, but I bumped it to 7 as I feel
she really did listen to the critiques we gave. However, in terms of style, she
is still behind the rest of her peers. I loved the idea, so creativity was
scored high.
Tink_Bel (Helen)
Score: 7.5
Comments: The design itself is quite good. MY only issue is that because
she used so much of the same shade of pink, it's hard to tell when
something ends and another item begins. Makes it look cluttered.
x_suicide_is_inevitable_x (Ella)
Score: 8
Comments: Ella is simply adorable! I love every garment choice here.
The blue bow adds a nice accent on top, but there's nothing blue on bottom
to even it out.
Alesaan (Sarah)
Score: 6
Comments: Alessan, why?! She dressed her model twice, posted both
and then went with the inferior design to submit (imho). The gown is all
over and Lassie looks out of place. Sure, the second has less pink, but
is much more stylish. I would rather have taken off a couple marks for
not being prominently pink rather than several marks in style and creativity.
Ultrabord (Danielle)
Score: 6
Comments: Good design for the wrong model. It would be gorgeous on one
of our fair skinned models, but Danielle shouldn't be wearing pastels.
Description was also a little lacking. I would like to have learned a little more.
HCTotorro (Nicki)
Score: 7.5
Comments: Beautiful and ethereal. Totorro really stepped it up. The
shades look great on Nicki and the matching is on fleek. One mistake
was adding those white glowing balls. They tend to make things around
them fuzzy and therefore the bottom of her face isn't as clear as it could be.
iiiFlames (Chloe) - Immune
Score: 6.5
Comments: It's beautiful overall, but I wished she would have used a
different shade of pink. Something like magenta, that would
compliment Chloe's hair. Addressing the outfit, that background is
gorgeous (so I'll forgive the above sin), but the shawl is unnecessary and
only achieves the goal of making Chloe look puffy. No woman wants to
wear something that looks like it adds 25lbs.
Dante Dolly (Melissa)
Score: 8.5
Comments: The image was clearly represented! It's a good Harajuku look.
One improvement would be the removal of the teddy bear headband to
make it look less cluttered. A simple unadorned headpiece would work better.
Kiari_Luveniar (Madeline)
Score: 6.5
Comments: This is not Kiari's best. This is another outfit that I feel is
unnecessarily bulky. When I think of fairies, I think small, thin, feminine -
Madeline looks about 200lbs.
AmberEmma (Wanda)
Score: 7
Comments: It's cute. Overall, it's very appealing to the eye except for that
bit of purple that keeps drawing my gaze in. Is it a skirt? Surely there
were other options for that bottom!
elphiethesane (Chantal)
Score: 7.5
Comments: I love that the colour scheme included Chantal's lips, which is
the hardest part to design for this particular model. However, I do wish it
was more pink than purple. Many of the shades cross over into not-pink
or barely-pink.
Princess of the Raindrops (Mariah)
Score: 0
Comments: Backed out last challenge with no repercussions. Had no excuse this round.
SortaKindaMaybe (Amaya)
Score: 0
Comments: Backed out last challenge with no repercussions. Had no excuse this round.

milk cap (Sheenah)
Score: 7.5
Comments: If I'm honest, I don't particularly like this look for Sheenah. milk was right when they said they probably shouldn't have put the blindfold on, and I'm certain there was a better leg pose that they could have used. I'd have liked a floral headpiece or sheer veil much better, perhaps the veil from Miss Spring? However, with that said... I absolutely love the rest of the look, and the very concept is interesting. The whole avatar has a soft, dreamy feel, and for that I can forgive the nitpicks I have towards it.
Tink_Bel (Helen)
Score: 6
Comments: I want to like this design, really I do... but it makes Helen's head look comically out of place with the rest of the look and ends up being just a big blob of pink around her, and it sort of looks like she's crying for help to be removed from her pink crystal prison. The designer displays technical skill and color matching, but overall it's much too cluttered for my taste.
x_suicide_is_inevitable_x (Ella)
Score: 8.5
Comments: I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of Ella as a model, but this look really works with and for her and makes her stand out among the rest of her competition. The look is lovely and sweet with a bit of down-to-earth charm, and I might like to take her up on that date! The only nitpick I have is that the particular background item has an all-pink recolor called Cafe Rosa, and that could have been used rather than the blue, or a blue hairpin or something to call back to the color on the actual outfit.
Alesaan (Sarah)
Score: 6.5
Comments: Being that I like Peony and think it's a lovely pink to use, I really like this avatar... except for the dog. I don't really know why the dog was included, if I'm being honest? I don't quite understand the concept for this look, and the description didn't illuminate it much. The designer could have made something lovely with the cherry blossoms item, and I'm a bit disappointed we didn't see that in the final product, since their description of them was really lovely.
Ultrabord (Danielle)
Score: 6
Comments: I like seeing dark skinned girls in pastels, myself, and Danielle looks sweet in this outfit. The problem I really have with it is that it's awfully simple and the concept doesn't wow me or help Danielle herself to stand out much. It's a very safe look. Did the judges razz you a bit too much last round?
HCTotorro (Nicki)
Score: 9
Comments: Nicki looks like a dream! The flowers and petals falling evoke the sense of a tree nymph welcoming a delicate new spring, and it feels fresh and elegant in a way that also lends itself to a bit of playful mischief, like she's about to dance and skip away from you to lead you to a glade in the forest.
iiiFlames (Chloe) - Immune
Score: 5
Comments: Again, this is another really safe submission, it feels like... Chloe looks lovely, and I don't hate the look at all, but I can't really find anything that stands out to me about it. You can either choose regal, elegant princess, or you can choose stereotypical Barbie look. I want to see more adventure from you, iiiFlames. Show me something I've never seen before!
Dante Dolly (Melissa)
Score: 9.5
Comments: I am in dear, sweet love with this submission. Japanese street fashion is something of a passion of mine, and I love the creativity and hard work that's put into it by the people that drive the scene and follow or make the trends. Melissa here is an excellent example of that, looking animated and cheery in her candygloss outfit, and the use of accessories only enhances the decora look it evokes. In fact, I'd have liked more! Something from Deco Doki, maybe? This and Nicki are clear winners to me.
Kiari_Luveniar (Madeline)
Score: 7
Comments: I like this look. It looks more like an angel or a celestial messenger or something rather than a fairy in particular, but ignoring the description I do like the colors and how it looks.
AmberEmma (Wanda)
Score: 6
Comments: I like this. Wanda looks relaxed and at home with her cat, and the border used gives it a stylish, down-to-earth celebrity feel, like she's just another one of us.
elphiethesane (Chantal)
Score: 8.5
Comments: I actually find this one incredibly lovely! The dusk rose color scheme is another favorite of mine, and though I wouldn't exactly call it strictly pink, the final product comes together with Chantal herself in an elegant way that I really like. I have to dock a few points for not featuring pink as prominently as it could, but I just love this look so much it almost doesn't matter.
I think I ended up voting everyone pretty highly because I really like pink... that said, I'm a little bit tired of all the amaranth. I'd like to see some variation in the pinks that I'm not really getting. It's not anyone's fault in particular, but I want to see more adventurous colors and attitudes from these contestants, even if a lot of them don't like pink.
I'm disappointed no one wanted to judge my example submissions, either... were they a little too intimidating?

Challenge 3: Pretty in Pink
milk cap (Sheenah)
Score: 7
Comments: I think this is the strongest submission milk has done yet. She's listened to critque, and while she still has more room to grow, I like this piece. There's improvment for sure, and I have mixed feelings on the veil, but honestly it's so nice to see this from her. Biggest thing is I wish she'd done something to tone down the hair a little, or tie in just a touch or orange somewhere near the bottom maybe. As it is the hair kind of sticks out.
Tink_Bel (Helen)
Score: 8
Comments: Helen definitely looks like a queen. I feel like she needed to take off a few things, like I think the background has numerous layers that makes things look almost messy and if not messy it's definitely hard to distinguish each individual element. Even something more ivory at the very bottom would help the over all design by breaking up the pink there. Over all though it certainly meets the challenge, and it isn't an awful look. Just needed to take off an item or two.
x_suicide_is_inevitable_x (Ella)
Score: 9
Comments: I absolutely love this. I love that she went for pants and a more masucline look for the color challenge, it's a pleasant surprise and stands out. I like the subtle pops of deeper pink in the book and pollen of the flowers that adds a nice balance. I wish there was some lower blue to balance the bow, but it compliments her eyes well and there's something I kind of like about just having it at the top of the piece. I love her name for her submission and general inspiration from Sherlock.
Alesaan (Sarah)
Score: 5.5
Comments: I like Alesaan, but I feel like I'm always scoring her low and I just don't see a ton of improvement? I like the color of pink she chose and I think it's good for Sarah, but I feel like at least one pink item needed to be removed or exchanged because it just looks cluttered like this. And Lassie entirely doesn't belong. There are pink animals she could have added if she wanted one, or neutral ones that wouldn't distract. But from the color to the animal itself it just seems entirely out of place. Her description was also just...a lot. She put a lot of work into this look, but sadly I don't think it was work well spent.
Ultrabord (Danielle)
Score: 6.5
Comments: I love that it's a simple look with a simple background, not cluttered at all like so many of the submissions. That said, I think it's the wrong color scheem for Danielle. I think her outfit should be a few shades more vibrant, though the background is kind of nice in the lighter scheme. But since the outfit is so so pale, and has so much white, it makes Danielle stick out in all the wrong ways. Description was the opposite of Alesaan in that there just wasn't enough of it. Had a good thought, just would have liked some more.
HCTotorro (Nicki)
Score: 8
Comments: Look at HCTotorro stepping it up, good for her. This is a great submission from the avatar to the description, and it's so flattering on the model. I agree about removing the white balls, maybe removing another item or two since in a few places it looks a little cluttered again, but I have nothing truly negative to say about this.
iiiFlames (Chloe)
Score: 7
Comments: This is one of the first times where a description truly hurts a score, doesn't just distract or anything, but hurts it because I do not get Barbie from her submission. Barbie wouldn't wear a shawl that looks so bulky, and just...it doesn't feel like Barbie. Aside from that, the look isn't awful. I love the background and the frame, but I wish there was like a touch more pink with the actual outfit and would also like to see a different shade of pink. Something more vibrant, especially a magenta sort of shade, would also read as more Barbie.
Dante Dolly (Melissa)
Score: 9.5
Comments: This is probably my favourite submission for this challenge, from the look to the description to how much thought was clearly put into it, I love it. I would remove the teddy bear headband in favor of something simpler or just no headband at all. It's adorable though, perfect balance between pink and other colors with there being just a touch more pink that still keeps it in the pink challenge.
Kiari_Luvenair (Madeline)
Score: 7
Comments: It's refreshing to see a different pink used than the more popular pastels and bubblegum. The bright night sky at the top of the background also offers a nice difference that helps set off the rest of the piece. That said the bottom of the piece is a bit too much and details get lost. It also doesn't say fairy to me at all. A different pair of wings might have helped with that, the wings she chose don't really read as rings in any angle except for the standing shot of the back. Also showing every position highlighted how much the wings disappear as wings.
AmberEmma (Wanda)
Score: 8
Comments: I love the shade of pink for the sweater! I think that's the kind of color that Ultrabord should have aimed for rather than the pastel she used. I like that it's styled as a magazine cover, nice extra touch and a nice way to get the pink color around the edges of the over all look without necessarily cluttering the avatar or distracting from it. I think the bit of purple on the skirt though is just a slightly off shade, and it would be nice to have seen pink or even something a touch more blue maybe to match the pillow on the couch in the background.
elphiethesane (Chantal)
Score: 7.5
Comments: Dusk is a color scheme that includes pink, and I love the scheme, but this feels like a dusk look and not a pink one. She used too much of the dark aspects of dusk and just not enough pink. I think even throwing in some of the vain color scheme would have helped with that? But it does play well off her lips, and it certainly isn't the worst submission.

all seem to have a favourite lol. It's also worth pointing out that the
average scores went up this round from the last. That's what I get for
making the second task so difficult.
I'm excited about the improvement though. Last round's numbers scared me!
Also girls, we are only deciding on a winner this time. I sent PM's to the
two who didn't submit and Sorta is backing out. She was going to be
my choice to go anyway. Something she said to me when backing out
of challenge 2 rubbed me the wrong way.
As for a winner, my vote is for Dante!

Challenge 4: Own Your Stone
Tink_Bel (Helen)
Score: 8.5
Comments: The colours in this flow beautifully. I especially love the
darker accents in the background and in the leaves. The one thing I'm not
crazy about are Helen's amputated hands.
Alesaan (Sarah)
Score: 5.5
Comments: Garnet is my birthstone and I am disappointed that I didn't see
the deep reds that I had anticipated. The challenge clearly states 'Your
design should be based on the colour and texture of your stone, but it's
not limited to those guidelines alone.' Translation is that it still needs to be
dark red, but that you can add flares to boost creativity. Basically, she got
a couple points higher in creativity only to lose them all and then some when
it came to subject matter.
milk cap (Sheenah)
Score: 6.5
Comments: It's alright. The theme is clear, but the colour is not quite right.
There needs to be some blue-yellow hue in there to be aquamarine.
The slightest bit of green could have taken this farther. The scarf,
though pretty, could have been made green and the whole look could
have come together for me.
iiiFlames (Chloe)
Score: 7
Comments: She got pink because that's what the randomizer chose - sue me.
Overall, I like the outfit, however I wish she'd used a deeper pink to convey
the stone. Nice on the description though.
Ultrabord (Danielle)
Score: 6.5
Comments: To be honest, I like this design. It's simple, but cute and
goes hand in hand with a well written description. However, the disclaimer
at the end of the description is unnecessary and cost her a full mark.
Excuses aren't pretty and if she may recall the winner of last challenge
also had expressed limited internet. She also lost a mark for adding
green eyeshadow.
Dante Dolly (Melissa)
Score: 8.5
Comments: This is good. I appreciate how it's nicely balanced. It was
also smart to pair it with white to set the ruby tone as opposed to garnet.
It's just unfortunate that Dante got this colour as I don't find it very flattering
on Melissa.
x_suicide_is_inevitable_x (Ella)
Score: 9
Comments: This is beautiful. The idea behind the design is simply marvelous!
The one thing I'd have liked to see is the garment being totally white,
including the tiara and thew wings. It would stand against the background
a little bit better.
HCTotorro (Nicki)
Score: 7
Comments: This may have been one of the hardest to make work due to
the lack of 'pretty' clothing in this particular colour. However, Totorro did a
fairly good job representing beauty in brown. One change might be the
floaty things around Nicki. The colour is a bit off and the glowing effect
takes away from the naturalness of the scheme.
elphiethesane (Chantal)
Score: 6.5
Comments: This is another scenario where the random colours didn't
coincide with the model so I can't blame elphie for struggling a little bit.
As for the garment, it's not bad from the neck down, but the head portion is
a bit of a mess. The chunky crown was not helpful in portraying
'ballerina'. Instead, something simple and elegant would have made a
better fit. Great description though.
AmberEmma (Wanda)
Score: 7
Comments: More green! I want more green! But that being said, I love
the design and it connects perfectly to magic in all it's natural goodness.
The description could have used just a little bit more attention to design.
I want to know more than just a line about colour matching.

Tink_Bel (Helen)
Score: 9
Comments: You've learned well from your critique! I love how Helen looks here, offering her crystals to the sunset sea, and your description was absolutely lovely. I'm glad you had a personal connection to the theme, because it very clearly helped you here. This look works well with Helen and the only real problem I have with it is the white thing on her torso - that said, it provides a sense of contrast so she doesn't look like a big yellowy blob. Good work!
Alesaan (Sarah)
Score: 7
Comments: Here's the thing - I know this is about Persephone. I know about the pomegranate's connection to garnets. But if I did not know this was about Persephone, and I did not know the significance of the pomegranate, I wouldn't have a single clue in the world how this avatar connected to the theme. It's a GORGEOUS avatar, and the concept is absolutely stunning - all the failure is in the description. When making an avatar, the objective of the description being there is to explain to the judges your reasoning and, while the line is beautiful, we need more than aesthetic. I would have picked you for a clear 10 had you given me a good description, and that genuinely saddens me.
milk cap (Sheenah)
Score: 7.5
Comments: Sheenah's hair color really isn't doing you any favors, is it... Well, I can't really blame you this time. The avatar really is lovely, and it looks like Sheenah is almost part of the water, as a mermaid should be, though I'd have picked a different arm mod. I would have liked to see a hair accessory, but it does work without it - though something light and finlike might have bumped you to an 8.
iiiFlames (Chloe)
Score: 5.5
Comments: This is cute, and the sort of thing I'd have liked to see from the designer in the pink challenge. It's sweet and floral and creative and looks like the kind of thing I'd put together myself, however - why this doesn't receive a higher score is another description issue. You don't really tell me what pink tourmaline does, you don't tell me what it means, so your title falls flat and thus the whole thing sort of falls apart on the hinges of 'mood-lifting', a bland, watery base to what otherwise could have been a lovely concoction. Tell me what you're thinking, iiiFlames. Just 'cute' won't get you anywhere.
Ultrabord (Danielle)
Score: 7
Comments: This is cute, but I can't tell if that's a beach ball or one of the Labyrinth item bubbles chopping her arm off. I'll give the designer the benefit of the doubt, but other than that it's just a very decent entry. Doesn't wow me, doesn't disgust me. I do like how it relates to the theme and the description given, and I do know how much of a pain in the a** it is to dress your avatar on slow or intermittent internet.
Dante Dolly (Melissa)
Score: 10
Comments: Dante Dolly, you're a cut above the rest. The polish you give to your avatars makes them glitter over all the other diamonds in the rough. The way you harden under pressure and come out shining has me absolutely rocked - you've thrown me for a loupe with this one, not to mention it's my birth month! Give the other contestants a chance in the ring, would you? wink
x_suicide_is_inevitable_x (Ella)
Score: 8.5
Comments: This is stunning! I love the sense of contrast the black wings and headdress give to the subject as a whole, and the only thing I might change is a different legmod - other than that, I really like this entry, and can set aside my disdain for monochrome avatars to praise it. The description runs a bit long, but I did appreciate your personal connection to the subject and admire your willingness to work hard and do your research. Really good stuff here!
HCTotorro (Nicki)
Score: 9.5
Comments: You've really stepped it up these past two challenges and it hasn't gone unnoticed. Your eye for creativity and the unconventional is making you a fast favorite of mine. The theme and description tie in well together, and I feel like I'm being drawn to a mysterious apothecary deep in the woods. The only critique I have is that the bow at the back of Nicki's head blends in with the background too much.
elphiethesane (Chantal)
Score: 8
Comments: This is an instance where your description really helped you. While I love the look, it's enhanced quite a lot by the description given. Skill-wise, I admire the fact that you made Chantal's hair work with you and gave her a lovely, elegant look. It feels like December, it feels like an ice fairy, it feels like winter. The fantasy is in full force here, and I like it.
AmberEmma (Wanda)
Score: 6
Comments: I see what you're trying to do, and I admire it, but it just doesn't work out. The creativity is excellent, and you do get points for that, but this doesn't particularly tell me 'emerald', nor does it tell me 'forest witch'. It sort of looks like something you just put together because you like the color scheme, then slapped the emeralds on in the background as an afterthought.

Challenge 4: Own Your Stone
Tink_Bel (Helen)
Score: 8
Comments: I'm not crazy about the white at the core that obscures her hands, but it does add nice contrast, and I like this over all. I like the personal connection as well, it make the piece stronger and made for an excellent description. The one thing I would have liked is just some hint of the more typical bright yellow or true gold citrine color.
Alesaan (Sarah)
Score: 8
Comments: I absolutely love the thought process, and love the connection to pomegranate, and it was clear that the color was garnet. That all said, I wish there was a little more to the description, and I wish she'd just mentioned Persephone instead of being vague. I love this though, and don't even mind the hood too much, I think this was a great way to work with the model.
milk cap (Sheenah)
Score: 7.5
Comments: The hair does stick out like a sore thumb, but the gold necklace is warm enough that it ties into the hair a little bit, something that I enjoy and it helps take off the edge of the hair. I also can't hold the hair against her though. I agree the head didn't need an accessory, but I would have really liked something. Over all it's a great description, and a solid submission.
iiiFlames (Chloe)
Score: 6
Comments: This is another one where I would have liked to see some more saturation, since the pink tourmaline used for October isn't such a pale pink. Something I know quite a bit about being an October baby myself from a family of October babies - it's an insane month in our house - but I can overlook that. What gets frustrating about the pale really is this look does not vary all that much from her last submission. If you have to use pink twice in a row, change up the pink. But I wouldn't have knocked her down much for all that. I took away points because the description leaves me with more questions than I started with. Based on that I have no idea what the stone's purpose is, no idea what it's significant to the look or to her title. Also thought the attitude of the description was almost arrogant, which isn't necessarily a huge problem, but I think it hurt her because she didn't feel like she didn't have to give details and she did.
Ultrabond (Danielle)
Score: 7
Comments: The color really pops against the model, and I knew what month and stone she had immediately. I like that she thought about the month and wanted to do something summery, and the description is fine. I don't see the summer memories in the bubbles like she mentions, and that detracted from things a bit for me.
Dante Dolly (Melissa)
Score: 10
Comments: I really don't have anything bad to say about this. I think it's a great submission, and a good description. I got ruby the second I looked at it, and the description just added to things. I like the texture play with the look, and sitting among the crystals. Normally I would have liked to see some more red in the background I think, but I love how the focus it kept squarely on Melissa. Also love the white tights balancing the hair. Love it.
x_suicide_is_inevitable_x (Ella)
Score: 7
Comments: This submission is just fine, but I'm not sure there's anything remarkable about it for me. It does look like diamond, and I like the different musical inspiration. Maybe if there was some blue among the black sky, add some of that depth of a night sky it might have been nice and scored higher? I don't know, it just seems lackluster. I know there are a lot of diamond and crystal items on Gaia, seems like something more could have been done.
HCTotorro (Nicki)
Score: 7.5
Comments: I wish there was something brighter to the submission, I know the stone is supposed to be smokey quartz, but it loses some of the brightness that you think of with gemstones. I wish there'd been just a bit of gold or lighter shades of brown, something of that sort. But I do like this, and it does feel like a natural healer like she wanted it to be.
elphiethesane (Chantal)
Score: 9
Comments: When I first saw this submission, I wasn't that crazy about it. But looking at it closer and looking at the description, it's actually one of my favourites. The blues pop and look like blue topaz, and the over all look feels like December with the feeling of the Nutcracker and a blue sugar plum fairy. I think the Nutcracker inspiration also works well with Chantal's hair and expression, looks like a performer. I like this.
AmberEmma (Wanda)
Score: 8
Comments: I like this look. The emerald stones in the back stand out in almost a bad way? There's certainly something lacking in the submission. At the same time though I do like it, and I don't have as many issues with it as I do with some of the others.

Sorry it took me so long to get these done, girls. I got called in to work a few times, forcing me to go 13 days without a day off. And when I wasn't working I was sleeping or cradling my foot (I have a torn ligament!).
I drive the short bus for the city and it's quite physically demanding. When I come home, all I want to do is sleep. And despite being a city job with a good union, we are horribly understaffed, so this won't be the last time this happens.
I thought asking for you guys to do up the feedback sheet would be beneficial to your judging skills. I had no idea that I would be THIS absent, so timing was good for that!! I'm also hoping that Astra might want to give the next round's feedback if it fits into your schedule.
Anyway, here are the numbers for Challenge 4:Quote: 95 - Dante Dolly 85 - Tink_Bel 82 - x_suicide_is_inevitable_x 80 - HCTotorro 78 - elphiethesane 72 - milk cap 70 - AmberEmma 68 - Alesaan 68 - Ultrabord 62 - iiiFlames 0 - Kiari_Luveniar 0 - Princess of the Raindrops

My choices for winner are Tink or Suicide, despite Dante getting the highest overall score. Tink's colours are ethereal and gorgeous, Suicide had my favourite concept. Dante's is good, but there's just something about it that isn't speaking to me. It could just be that she got an unfortunate colour for her model, I don't know. If that is the case, then I shouldn't hold it against them.
For the loser, I will pick Princess. I don't know why Kiari didn't submit, but this is the first time she's missed and she's given us beautiful creations in the past.

I think Dante's overall skill is excellent, though I admit I might be biased due to them getting my birthstone. Also, I just really wanted to use gem puns for someone, and couldn't find anything bad to say about Dante's, not even in the description. I think it's a little unfair to disregard their work, but if we're going by sheer improvement, I'd say Suicide would be my pick for the winner.
I can write the summaries next time, sure.

Thanks Astra.
I wouldn't be upset if Dante won. She has skills, for sure. It wasn't my favourite look of the bunch, but my vote doesn't weigh heavier than either of yours. If Wolf wants Dante to win as well, then I am overridden fair and square.

Sorry for just chiming in! I think Dante should win as well, though I loved all of the top looks, I think she did a great job and her scores speak volumes. I will get the comments/summaries finished up later today, hopefully won’t be too late, haven’t had the chance to get online aside from popping on from my phone for a few days, but I’ll get them finished as soon as possible.
