Challenge 10 Results

Crap, crap, crap, crap!
I should've done this a week ago, I know, and for that I apologize five times over, but the circumstances just couldn't be helped, and anyway it took much longer to decide on the results of this challenge as it is the last one before the finale and will decide on the top 3 competitors.
-Deep breath-
Intense, I know.

I was so extraordinarily impressed with you 4 lovely ladies this week, though, I must say. Best batch of last challenge entries ever. And plus, that gets me very excited to see what you will pop out for the Unofficial Fashion Week.

Since it's been a while, I should probably recap:
You'll be making sets for each other.

xD
That was about the gist of it. The competitors udnerstood the nitty gritty, so we'll get more into that with critiques...

Speaking of which:

CRITIQUE

Incubeautee-Each judge had their own little nit picks regarding your set-the shoes were too formal for frolicking, the green looked like a hospital gown, the bag wasn't quite right-but everyone said something different about the not-so-strong points. What we pretty much all agree on though is that you met the requirements well [although one judge feels there was too much you, and not enough Lola.] and your layouts still rock [however, this is probably not the best you've done...still good though. Very good.]. Over all the set has a nice, tranquil sort of mood, and makes me want whatever that cocktail is. =] You've also come a long way in terms of clutter, and I think, for some one who started out such a strong set maker, you've still managed to improve. Which, in the begining, was the goal of this compition. Goodgood stuff, my dear.

BBGal-The judges were surprise-and in a good way! And so I officially award you with the title of most improved, evident in this set as well as your 3 before it. We all like the colors and how you interpreted your instructions, hitting the retro, Incubeautee-esque vibe quite well. We also all agree though that, while this may be one of your best sets, it felt a little top heavy in terms of presentation. Some of the little items, as there were more than plenty in the top right, could've been brought over the opposite corner, we believe. We also believe that the top-heaviness could've been rememdied simply by choosing a lighter colored bag-it was much too dark and heavy for the sweet nature of the rest of the set. But still, you've come a long way.

Lola So, you've consistantly have popped out some crazy cool sets in this crazy cool competition, and this one here is no exception. I'm really excited Tripmywire had you do a mosaic, because it was really great seeing what else you can do-and you did it so well! Although one judge called it "TMW & Lola’s love child" and another could too see the resemblence, the other half of judges weren't quite as smitten. We've constantly mentioned that mosaics must be balanced carefully, and although I personally think you've nailed it, I can see how this set could be rather overwhelming. One judge mentioned that she preferred the other set you made for this challenge, and that she really didn't see the 'edgy romantic' that was requested, and also wasn't sure, in practicality, how well that sweater would wear with the skirt [and on that last bit I must agree, however cool the sweater is.]. None the less, every one still felt this was another good entry.

TMW-I appriciate very much that you did not take up that offer of doing another signiture mosaic layout, and I do think the turned out much better than your last attempted during the prom challenge. However, as much as we all give many kudos to doing something out of your comfort zone, some of the judges don't think this was the best way to go-most all of us really like the idea and choices for the elemental pictures, but the left the right side feeling overwhelming over the left. However, I think this is more the fault of the bag,which was a required item [Said a judge, "I do feel for her she had to work that bag, but I think she did an okay job"] But what we all could agree on was that those leggings were throwing us off-not so much leggings with shorts and those shoes, which I think the idea could be kind of cool, but the fact that they are black and shiney-and although very /you/-just sort of upset the harmony of the rest of the set.

But tonight there will be no winner.

For two resons:
One, you were all so neck in neck.
And two, I think it's better that before the finale, everyone should be on the same level, so to speak.
Those who have payed attention to the previous two cycles saw this one coming. ;]

But anywho, back to those 3 of you.

Tripmywire,
BBGal.
It's down to you two.

One, who has won three challenges, but has also done her share of hanging in the bottom.
And one, who may have not have gotten to the top in the challenges, but who has improved imensely over her competitors as the competition wore on.
[Sorry, I was channeling a bit of Top Model there, dears.]
And so, who goes?

Neither of you.
Forget the top 3, I do believe we have a room for a top 4.
Congradulations to the both of you!

I know, I know. I kept looking threw both of your sets, got the opinions of some of the judges, but it seemed to matter how I reasoned it, it always ended up in a tie.
You two really are head to head.
But I want to give you both another chance to shine-or to shine even brighter.

And so, I better see all four of you pound out the most wicked sets you have ever made in these coming weeks. Promise?
Alright.
There can only be one winner overall, so strive for absolutely greatness. Or whatever cheesy thing you can think of.
I know you can do it.


THANK YOU ONE AND ALL. As always. Especially my judges and contestants who constantly put up with my flakiness and indecisiveness.
You all still rock.
And good night!
