Noob No More: The Prize Winners
By Grazia Horwitz | June 20, 2007
It’s been a while since Sachi Vixen initiated the Newbie Make Over contest. It was a lot of fun going through the submissions. The winners have had their prizes by now, and it’s my turn to show you the 3 ladies who are noob no more.
Alberta Loon is the 3rd prize winner. She went home with a new skin, hair and clothes from Adam and Eve from the Ophelia avatar pack, as well as a L$ 250 voucher from Oh! What A Neat Boutique, and a L$ 250 voucher from Laynie Wear. This is why she felt she needed the make over:
OK desperate doesn’t begin to describe the state I’m in. Only a few days old and completely clueless. My fashion sense consists of finding stuff that halfway matches off a rack at the Goodwill store. Handbag? LL Bean standard issue. Shoes? Basic Boring Birkies. This Loon needs to laugh and do something as crazy as a…. Please turn my plight into a flight! Once I figure it out I can probably send you chocolate (Dove of course).
Runner up is Pug Whitfield. She also received a new look from Adam & Eve, and a L$ 250 voucher from Oh! What A Neat Boutique, and a L$ 500 voucher from Laynie Wear. Pug’s desperate call:
Why do I want a makeover? Sachi, look at me! I’m wearing freebie men’s hair, for goodness’ sake. Here I am camping, trying to save enough money for decent jeans, hair, and glasses. I did manage to earn enough for a nice Bossa Nova blouse. And those are freebie sweet L&E sandals. (I’m knitting a sweater for fall. What else is a good girl to do while camping for shopping money?)
The winner of this contest though, is Lucee Lane, who after she was put into Sachi’s hand is definitely noob no more. She received a full make over, including skin, hair, shape, lashes, lingerie, casual clothes and formal attire. Next to that, Fallingwater Cellardoor from Shiny Things has tossed in some shoes to match the new look, and Lucee received 1000L$ vouchers for Laynie Wear, Oh What A Neat Boutique and Ink Slingers. This plea is what convinced the judges:
Is there an electronic equivalent to the first life expression of soccer mom? It would certainly be a bedraggled librarian whose time spent learning new technologies is more time consuming than ever and now includes spiffing up their virtual image in Second Life. I twitter, I flickr, I blog, I IM, and I still answer the good ole phone. Please help this non-frumpy but hip librarian find some fashion style while juggling all the technical do-dads being flung at me. In my first life, I am short and non-modelesque yet; I adore the fashion of Sex and the City and would welcome a classic look of Charlotte or the eclectic look of Carrie as a way to express my true inner self. Please help this technology consumed, information waitress get her groove on. (and shave her legs!)
Ladies, you all look lovely, enjoy!
