Dangerous Curves Cycle 5 - WINNER ANNOUNCED

Yep, you saw it correctly, Beech has opened up yet another fun-filled modeling competition!

With Dark Shadowz, Faery Fae, and On Location coming to an end all at once, I couldn't possibly go on without opening a brand new one :wink:

This has been one of my most favorite competitions ever. I adore the creativity that comes out of this competition and the stunning plus-sized models that you have all created in previous cycles. You read that right, models for this competition MUST be plus-sized.

The term "plus-sized" can mean a great many things, but basically for this competition, your model must not look like a tooth-pick. We want to see models with curves, a thick waist, thick thighs, curvy figures, etc. In the past, I've allowed just about any body shape to enter this, even when we've had some pretty thin models.

This cycle will be different.
This cycle will require your models to fit the plus-sized mold.

We will hold a mock assignment where we will be introduced to your model. This mock assignment will determine whether your model can participate in the competition or not. She will need to be curvy, interesting, and beautiful, of course.

This is a laid back competition that will use both story-based AND editorial modeling assignments. Sometimes your photos will need to be fun, playful, candid, and story-based and sometimes they will need to be high fashion, editorial, and modelesque. Just keep an eye out each assignment to determine which one you're required to do.

    Excellent work with your frenemies assignemnt! <3

    We're already here! It's a bittersweet ending, but that's how it always is with competitions! I had a lot of fun hosting this competition and watching everyone create such stunning photos. I got to meet several new (to me) competitors and also got to see some of my veteran simotagraphers hone in their skills! Great job everyone.

    Thanks Vid for being an awesome judge and always being so prompt!!

    Now, who won?

    Forgive me for being a bit slow here...but are you running two separate comps...one for sims3 and one for sims4?
  • BeechNutBabyBeechNutBaby Posts: 14,439 Member
    @Meeshelby :: Nope, it's one in the same. Sims 3 and Sims 4 models can compete together.

    Hello I'm Rhapsody Harper, I'm 24 years old! I'm a curvy girl living in Australia and currently I am a designers assistant. I love fashion to the maxxxx! I guess you could say i'm a fashion diva of sorts. I like wearing it, shopping for it, working for my boss, and obviously looking at it. The things i do in my spare time are create ideas and be imaginative about having my own runway show one day, partying with my friends, and drawing. I've never let being a curvy woman stand in the way of what i want to achieve.
