Newbie Fun Make Over Contest
By Grazia Horwitz | May 12, 2007
[update 05/13/07 GH] This gets better by the day…. Kalley Koala from Ink Slingers has offered another L$ 1,000 worth of Ink Slinger goodies for the winner! Thanks Kalley for your generosity!
[update 05/12/07 GH] Rosemary Galbraith has just offered to toss in an extra L$ 1,000 worth of yummy stuff from Oh What a Neat Boutique for the winner of the contest, and L$ 250 for the runners up. Thanks Rose, your so sweet!
I remember when I first came to SL, I was looking in awe at those sophisticated, fashionable and drop dead gorgeous avies that had been around for a while… looking at my own (even not too bad) freebie skin and dito hair, system clothes and clumsy shape I so wanted to look as good as them.
Well, you all know I have been hanging out with Sachi from Adam ‘n Eve quite a bit lately and one of the things that we talked about was a fun contest for newbies. Tell us why you DESPERATELY need a make over and you just might be the lucky girl who goes off into the Linden sunset with a complete new look!
Sachi is throwing in a full make over. The winner of this contest will receive a shape, a skin, hair, prim lashes (you really can’t do without anymore once you have worn them once) a formal outfit, a casual outfit and some lingerie. Sweet Fallingwater Cellardoor from Shiny Things has promised to offer some matching shoes for the winner. The runner up will receive a newbie make over bag with also a new skin, hair and a cute outfit.
How to participate:
* entrants must not be older than 60 days on May 31st 2007
* submit a notecard to Sachi Vixen in which you write why YOU need a MAKE OVER and need it DESPERATELY. No need to say that the funnier, the more hilarious or the more heart breaking, the better. But keep it concise, not more that 150 words. Name the notecard NEWBIE MAKE OVER, [your name]
*In the notecard include 2 photos of your avatar(name them NEWBIE MAKE OVER, [your name]. Size 512 x 512. One photo including you from head to toe, and one that you like (or hate, since you want that make over!). NB: submissions that do not have the photos IN the notecard will not be considered.
*After May 31st, 12 pm SLT is it NOT possible to submit notecards anymore. Any submissions that will be received after that time will not be taken into consideration.
* Sachi and yours truly will be selecting the winner in the first week of June. The winner will be contacted by one of us in world, and the results will be posted on this blog

I love noobies. Well, not so much- to be honest I avoid them most of the time. They are, however, enthusiastic. This is a wonderful contest you are doing. Adam n’ Eve and Shiny Things are amazing designers.
One thing I notice though, Grazia: “You just might be the lucky girl.” The contest excludes male avitars?
Posted by: Seraphine on May 12th, 2007 at 3:56 pmi will throw in L$1000 worth of stuff from my shop, also, to the winner, and $250L worth of stuff to a few runners-up if you wouldn’t mind ;D
Posted by: rosemary galbraith on May 12th, 2007 at 8:01 pmheheh Rose sweety…. how can we say no to such a generous offer!
Posted by: Grazia Horwitz on May 12th, 2007 at 8:10 pmLove this contest, what a great idea! I’ll toss in $1000 worth of merchendise at Ink Slingers. They can use it on tattoos, clothing or manicures.
Posted by: Kalley Koala on May 13th, 2007 at 7:28 amHey Sera, it is not excluding male avatars, it’s just that most male avies visit Second Man and not Second Style. However, if this contest is succesful an next edition might run on Second Man as well. Consider this a pilot :-)
Any male avie is very much invited to participate. Adam & Eve has some great stuff for the guys too.
Posted by: Grazia Horwitz on May 14th, 2007 at 9:08 amSeraphine I make male and female skins, clothes and hair so if a guy wants to join in, he’d be more than welcome!
Thanks to everyone for their generosity, this is going to be some nice prize!
Posted by: sachi Vixen on May 14th, 2007 at 1:06 pmThis is a great idea! I’d love to donate $1000 of LaynieWear Merchandise as well as $500 and $250 for runner ups, if you’re interested!
Posted by: Laynie Link on May 16th, 2007 at 12:28 pmhahaha always Laynie! Thx so much
Posted by: Grazia Horwitz on May 16th, 2007 at 1:48 pmI wish I had something to offer up as well but I am not sure if people would feel lucky to win my stuff and they really don’t cost that much. :) This is a really great idea.
