Task 5 Elimination Ceremony!

Hey Everyone! This was seriously one of my favorite weeks in MelsModels history. I could have chosen every scenery to have been the winner, and because of this it was SOO tough to chose a winner and even more difficult to chose which girl to eliminate.

This week was also struck by a competitor not being able to complete the task and not contacting me about it in advance. MelodyMCC has been eliminated, but I wish her all the best and I loved the time that she had spent in MelsModels! You will be missed girl!

Despite the sudden elimination this week, one more girl will still be leaving us tonight. Now for the callout order..

1. shake-something- Congratulations! You won this task and your scenery will be published on the club's homepage and at HotbuysBazaar. We loved how your concept was outside-of-the-box, your pose and scenery were each equally breathtaking, and overall you just did such an amazing job and we are all proud to see you grow so much each week. Your scenery is like an artistic masterpiece!

2. BabetteCouture

3. Aharper1243

4. clubklo


BOTTOM THREE:
1. Lgap- Your scenery was great, the concept, the execution, the styling to your medoll, the pose, the makeup, and the background were all beautifully done. We just felt that compared to some of the other sceneries this week, yours wasn't as memorable and it didn't have the same amount of passion infused into it. We also want you to be careful when making your sceneries, you have to try to make them a tad bit more neat because sometimes that tiny detail can make you end up in the bottom. We are aware of the immense amount of creativity you possess, so I also think your in the bottom due to high expectations.

2. SakuraDream- Your concept and the way you made the fire were both very well done. We just felt that the styling to your medoll, your medoll's makeup and hair, and your pose were not as strong. When looking at your medoll it looks like a teen vogue photoshoot and then as your eyes see the beautiful fire you created it causes a bit of confusion because the two weren't very cohesive. While I admire the addition of the snakes, they just didn't exactly fit either. We know how much talent and potential you have though and every week I love to see what you make.

3. Cianboland- You had a nice concept and your scenery was very detailed and tough to create and you definitely pulled it off! The one thing that got you in the bottom was the fact that there wasn't any motion. It simply looked like your medoll was sitting on a horse and since this was an action shot challenge it took alot away from the scenery. The styling to your medoll also wasn't very fitting with the theme or scenery (despite your don't judge a book by its cover notion). We know your capable of doing better and thats why this week was a tad disappointing.

ELIMINATED: SakuraDream- This was seriously SO tough, you have no idea. It was definitely one of the most difficult decision I have had to make in MelsModels. Your scenery was amazing, and all your work and who you are as a person is amazing. It just came down to which sceneries were better this week and the reason you are eliminated is just because everyone else's sceneries were SLIGHTLY better than yours. I know this is tough, but I hope you understand and stay active in MelsModels. You made it all the way to the top 7! That is huge! I love you and I would love it if you auditioned again in the future or in SNTM.xx

SAVED: Lgap and Cianboland- You both got lucky this week that MelodyMCC didn't complete her scenery. I was going to eliminate two girls this week along with MelodyMCC but I decided not to (and my fellow judges thought it would be a good idea to keep you both). You each have to step it up a level next week so that you don't land in the bottom again. Both of you can win this competition you just have to give it all you have! Love you both! Congrats on making the top 6!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FINAL SIX! Woo! This is a huge stepping stone in the competition. The next task and the final destination of the cycle will be posted soon! Stay tuned!

Task Five!

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the huge delay in posting this task, I have had little time to get on the computer. Anyways since my life, and more generally the world, has been full of action lately (like the world cup, seasons changing, schools ending, etc) I thought this week would be perfect for an action shot!

For this task you are to make a scenery depicting an action shot. The concept, setting, reason for action, and what your medoll is actually doing is ALL up to you! I am so excited about this task because it really is a chance to let your creative juices flow and show myself and the judges your creative side. Although your ability to think outside of the box is important, it also has to be realistic. Make sure that if your making a pose it is proportioned well, neat, and actually possible to do in real life. A pose only adds to a scenery when it is done right. Be sure to style your medolls according to your theme, and just have fun!

I will say it again so everyone knows im clear, the action can be anything you want. If you are concerned about an idea or if you have any questions please feel free to contact me and ask me questions!

The Deadline for this task is Tuesday June 29th! Good Luck Everyone and seriously Congratulations on making it this far. This is a HUGE accomplishment!

Love you all!

Task Four Elimination Ceremony!

Hey Everyone! These past couple of weeks have been so stressful for me, so I am so sorry for the delay of the results, but I am glad I got to do them today. Everyone really stepped up their game this week and chosing the winner was almost as difficult as chosing who should be in the bottom three and who should go! Everyone has such a sharp eye and such a great talent, I am truly honored to have you all compete in my club. This week I thought I would comment for everyone instead of just commenting the bottom three, it is the least I can do for delaying the results! Anyways, here is the callout order..

1. Aharper1243- Congratulations you are the winner of this task and your scenery will be displayed on the homepage of the club and at HotbuysBazaar.blogspot.com, your scenery conveyed a strong sense of what summer is all about. Your concept was perfect, your medoll shined through like a top model, and the bathingsuit and setting you created were well balanced and stunning.

2. BabetteCouture- So close! Your scenery was beautiful and every detail added such depth to the overall scenery. Your medoll's pose was so neat and just incredible (one of the best I have ever seen) and you were so close to winning three in a row. Keep up the amazing work girl!

3. clubklo- Your pose and concept were brilliant, and different compared to everyone else's, which I admire and appreciate! You are always in the top and always so so so close to winning, I hope you do not get frustrated and keep this fire going because I know a win is destined for you soon!!

4. Lgap- Your bathingsuit, pose, and magic with the horsehair were magnificent! It was so realistic and I could see it as an editorial in Italian Vogue! You just need to work on tuning your backgrounds because your medoll is always so insanely amazing that the settings fall short in comparison. Just like clubklo you have consistently been at the top, so please keep this up and be patient because I am sure you will win one soon!

5. shake-something- I loved your theme and I think the bathingsuit you made was stunning and so flattering. Your scenery was definitely one of the best at making the viewer want to buy the garment because I know that anyone who sees it would want it for themselves! Continue with this quality of work!

6. Cianboland- Your scenery was good at bringing the attention to the garment, but your pose and styling was a bit overdone. Try to accessorize and pose more appropriately next time and always make sure that it is as realistic as possible. You need to take this and make it fuel your fire to keep going because this was a close one for you hun!

7. SakuraDream- Your pose was very exotic yet appealing and intriguing. The fact that you have not changed your medoll's hair or facial expression deeply bothers me though, because I keep telling you too. With that being said your background and concept were great, but some parts of your bathingsuit were unflattering and the bottom part almost looked like body hair. We know your capable of much more though.


BOTTOM THREE:
1. choco_tiger --- Your scenery was late and even though that isn't a problem, it is a problem that you did not contact me about it or reply to my mails that I sent you regarding the deadline. I have loved seeing your work and seeing you improve each week and your sceneries are some of the ones I looked forward to the most. I know you are capable of growing into a beautiful model butterfly, but I get a bit frustrated since I feel like you don't see that. And as a result of that your work suffers. Your scenery's concept was a bit confusing to me, and although the pose was nicely done the bathingsuit wasn't the main focus since the whole thing seemed chaotic. You have landed in the bottom for a while now, and im not sure if you will be able to get out of this rut in time.

2. Avril14140 --- Your background of the sand and the beach looked very realistic, but with that being said I was disappointed this week. In the past you have had some troubles with proportions and you had those same mishaps this week. The legs of the pose didn't look realistic and even if they did they would not have made a flattering pose for selling a bathingsuit. The beach towel, bag, and sun tan lotion amongst other accessories were also too big and awkwardly sized for them to actually be behind you. I know you have so much talent but I feel as if, like choco_tiger, you may be in a rut at the moment.

3. MelodyMCC --- Your scenery was good, but it didn't have the wow factor that the other sceneries had. Your bathingsuit looked as if you gave up during the process of making it, and your scenery wasn't as rememorable as I would have hoped. I do love the background and setting you created though, and I could easily see that in an ad for a swimsuit. I think you have alot of potential and I think you can do better. You have to pay attention more on the overall look of the scenery and you also have to work on tuning your poses and make them look real. While a certain pose may look good it may not be the most ideal pose for a scenery, especially if the arms or hands aren't doing anything and aren't looking graceful.


ELIMINATED:
choco_tiger and Avril14140
You guys are both two of my favorite contestants I have ever had. You have so much passion and have such a skill for scenery-making. I am so upset that this decision has to be made, but I hope you understand. With practice and determination and an audition next cycle I am sure either of you could make it all the way to the end! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for participating in this competition, and I hope you guys stay in my stardoll life and active in MelsModels! Love you both!


The next task will be posted on Saturday! Get Ready Top 8!

Task Four!

Hey Everyone and Congratulations to the Top Ten of Cycle Four!! For this task MelsModels is going commercial, and everyone is going to have fun in the sun.

For this task you each must make a scenery modeling a bathing suit. Summer is so close, and here in the United States it is getting extremely hot, so I find this a perfect time to welcome summer with open arms. You need to make it playful, summery, commercial, fun, and of course appropriate. This scenery is not to be sensual, it is supposed to be appealing to women so think of Elle magazine or a women's magazine that is commercial rather than Maxim or Sports Illustrated that men look at for pleasure.

Also in this task you are not allowed to use the color black, or even shades of grey. This is because I really want the scenery to be colorful and fun, and lately everyone has beeing using ALOT of black, and it has kind of been overwhelming. Try to adventure out and have fun with different bold shades!

You can use a bathingsuit from the starplaza, or you can be creative and make one from minishop items. I love innovation though so keep that in mind ;)

Anyways, the deadline is Thursday June 10th, good luck!!!

Task Three Elimination Ceremony ! ! !

Hey Everyone! What an extraordinary week in MelsModels, but what an insanely difficult week for decision making. Every entry literally blew me away, and I am so impressed with the level of talent in this year's contestants! This is the best cycle of MelsModels all around but especially talent wise, and everyone keeps making some of the nicest sceneries I have ever seen.

Usually everyone completes their task, but when someone does not they face elimination. Stefaroni did not complete the task and did not mail me explaining why, and has not even replied to my messeges or gb comments. While something serious may be the excuse behind this behavior, I have no choice but to eliminate her from the competition. She had such a high-quality talent and I had high hopes for her, and if you are reading this please audition again next cycle if you have the time to fully commit. You will surely be missed!

***Also, many girls had problems with their sceneries this week and many had claimed theirs were deleted randomly and so they made another. You are ALWAYS to contact me before you re-make a scenery, and you always need my permission to do so. Sometimes stardoll has glitches and weird things happen, but you always need to speak to me in these situations otherwise there sadly will be consequences!

Even with Stefaroni's elimination, two more girls will be leaving tonight. Now for the results. Here is the callback order:

1. BabetteCouture - Congratulations!!! You are the winner of this task, and you are the first to win two challenges this cycle, and you are one of the only girls in MelsModels history to have two wins back-to-back! Your scenery will be displayed on the homepage of the club, and you will also have it published at HotbuysBazaar! Great job girl, keep this up!
2. Lgap - Congratulations, your scenery was the best out of the "bag group", you did an amazing job and we all loved your scenery!
3. shake-something - Congratulations, your scenery was the best out of the "bracelet group" and everyone loved the great job you did!
4. Aharper1243
5. clubklo
6. Cianboland
7. SakuraDream
8. Avril14140
9. MelodyMCC


BOTTOM THREE:
1. 123abbie456- your scenery was very chaotic and confusing, and it was difficult to recognize the big cuff as a bracelet, because many felt it really just resembled a big spot of paint. We feel like your concept was really great, but the portrayal of your ideas just didn't meet the expectations we had for you. We know your capable of amazing sceneries, but this week you let us down.

2. Choco_tiger- your scenery had a great concept, and we loved the overall feel of the black background with the paint spatters on your medoll. Out of all the sceneries, yours was one of the best at making the viewer notice the assigned item, and I surely would have considered buying your handbag. Your pose was a bit unrealistic, so just work on that and keep practicing with small details to help make your sceneries stick out more. We know you have potential to do better, so we are just frustrated when you don't do as good as you can.

3. Ashina123- your scenery was not as memorable as the others. You had a lot of ideas and I think you tried to incoperate as many of them as possible, but it kind of left me a bit overwhelmed. There was alot going on and too many things to look at that I barely noticed your bag. The skirt you made was beautiful, and the pose you did was different but so simple and realistic. We are just not sure if this is the right competition for you, because your a great stylist but we are just not confident in you being a model.

ELIMINATED:
123abbie456 and Ashina123 !
You guys are both SO talented, and the fact that you even competed in my competition gives me such pride and makes me feel extremely honored. Your both capable of making really bold and striking sceneries, and you each have such beautiful styling skills. I think both of you have a great sense of fashion and are great at making outfits and styling your medolls, but compared to some of the other girls we just felt like your sceneries were not on the same level. Keep practicing, keep active, and maybe audition again! I know you guys are going to go far, and I love you both!

***Congratulations to the Top Ten!! Yayy!! The next task will be posted on Monday or Tuesday! Love you all!

TASK THREE !

Hey Everyone! For this task you will be in a group, but you will not actually work with your fellow group members. All the people in the group will be assigned the same task, and this is key because as a model the competition for jobs and bookings is always stiff so you always have to make yourself stick out even if you are put into a similar situation as your competition. A great example of this is when models are trying to get runway jobs. Designers only have a limited amount of looks, so when you are put into the same dress as someone else you have to be able to work it much harder than they can in order to get the booking.

For this particular task each group will be assigned a different accessory that they have to sell and model in the scenery. This item should be the main focus and you want the viewer to want that item for themselves in real life and for their stardoll life.

There is a lot of freedom in this task so run with it and try to show off your creativity and ability to stand out.

Your name is BELOW the group you belong to. The item WITH the group name is your assigned item. The Groups and Assignments are below:

Group One- Necklace (Of your choice)
BabetteCouture
MelodyMCC
Stefaroni
Avril14140

Group Two- Handbag (Of your choice)
lgap
Ashina123
SakuraDream
Choco_tiger

Group Three- Bracelet (Of your choice)
Aharper1243
Cianboland
123abbie456
shake-something
clubklo

THE DEADLINE FOR THIS TASK IS... Thursday May 27th ! If you have any questions please comment this post, comment in the MelsModels Topic for this task, or contact me via message!

Good Luck Everyone!

TASK TWO ELIMINATION CEREMONY

Hey Everyone! This week was a week to remember, because every scenery that was made was just spectacular, and I could've seen each and every one being the winner of the week, literally!! This cycle has so much talent, that I am consistently being told so by fellow users and judges. Everyone is so great, that it is actually making me very worried about the decisions to come. On this week's callout order, it was very tough to chose which order to put all of you in since all of the sceneries were so close in ranking. If you are in the top part of the callout order (about 1-7) you were very amazing this week. If you were on the middle (8-10) you did great, but you just have to pick it up a bit if you want to win a future challenge. Finally if you are in the bottom (11-bottom three) you have much more potential than you are using, and fell short when compared to everyone else. Without further babbling, here is the callout order for the week:


1. BabetteCouture- Congratulations! You are the winner of this week's task. Your scenery showed an immense passion and fire (haha pun) that all of the judges and myself saw inside of you. It showed us how much this competition means to you and how much you want it, and your drive is what made your scenery so memorable and stick out amongst the others. Your concept and pose were both very ambitious but you gave us an amazing scenery in the end and pulled it off successfully. Your scenery will be published on the homepage of the club, where there will be a mention next to your username on the presentation, and it will also be featured on HotbuysBazaar.

2. Aharper1243

3. clubklo

4. lgap

5. Cianboland

6. choco_tiger

7. Stefaroni

8. Ashina123

9. MelodyMCC

10. Shake-something

11. SakuraDream

12. Avril14140

THE BOTTOM THREE:

1. 123abbie456- Your scenery was okay but it lacked a spark and it did not show the judges your drive for this competition. We feel that being able to create an amazing scenery is one thing, but you have to want to win and stay around as well. Someone who is a little worse off with making sceneries will always stay over someone who is great but isn't as passionate. We know you have it in you and we know how much potential you have, so now you just have to live up to our expectations for you.

2. Chicago3- Your pose was very risky, and unfortuneately it did not pay off. We loved how you tried to be different, but your portrayal of a sand storm just wasn't clear enough and it was quite sloppy and even borderline confusing. We also feel that you have not experimented in changing your medoll enough, and therefore we do not see as much of a model as we see in others who have shown versatility. We know that you are growing each week though, and every scenery of yours makes us want to see more.

3. X-princess_x-N- Your natural disaster was one of the assignments that I was most excited to see done in a scenery. Your scenery did not show enough of the disaster, and your medoll failed to look like a model. The styling to your medoll and your wardrobe choices did not fit the theme, and we felt that your scenery lacked the creativity and innovation that we look for in the contestants week-to-week. Last week your concept was really nice, and when this week you did not think outside of the box I think the judges and myself were let down since we wanted to see you grow and make progress as a model.



ELIMINATED:
X-princess_x-N and Chicago3 -
This was such a tough decision. You each have such a huge amount of potential inside that is just waiting to be used. We know that with time you both would have grown into amazing models, but the time span of the competition is limited and to be honest your sceneries were great, but they simply were not as good as the others. This does not mean that you are a worse person, worse scenery maker, or worse model than they are however they are just a bit ahead of where your at right now. The judges and myself hope you both stay active in this club and possibly audition again in a future cycle or audition in SNTM.xx (MelsModels's sister club). I hope you both understand the decision and have had a fun experience during your time in the competition.


SAVED:
123abbie456- You were saved just slightly, and I really hope you come back next week and show us that we made the right decision. You have the talent, you have the passion, and you have the potential to get even better every week, so just show us that! Hopefully you will have no more sceneries lacking spark, and no more bottom three moments.

-------------------------------------------------
Congratulations to the Top Thirteen! The next task will be posted on Thursday, so get ready.
