Timeless Beauties Calendar Girls: Here We Are Now, Entertain Us-Closed For Scoring

Hello boys and girls! Seren is still having problems with the forum (as am I but not as bad as seren), so if you all don't mind, I'm hosting again
We lost a few people last round, some on sad terms, some on happy terms. So if there are no dropouts, there will be an elimination
Sooooo if you haven't guessed by the subject title, this assignment is.......
90's Grunge!
Maybe you'd rather run and hide than leave the house looking like you just rolled out of bed, but it was cool in the '90s. Peeps wanted to look disheveled and flaunted their long, greasy locks.
Grunge is not about wearing anything new, and true grunge is when you get some jeans and rip them yourself. Hair does not really matter; it can be long or short, coloured, just preferably messy.
But, you didn't have to be a misbehavin' dude out of Seattle (the birthplace of grunge music and fashion) to look grunge. Teens everywhere were sporting this look.
Doc Marten boots, beanies, baggy and stonewashed jeans, tartan and wearing rock concert T-shirts under plaid, flannel shirts were the trend of not caring.
So start raiding those thrift stores, stop washing that hair, rant about not becoming a part of some bland corporate mechanism and show us your interpretation of Grunge!!!
;[bAssignment 6
Theme: Grunge. Show us the Grunge movement. Representation is totally up to you!
Year/Month: 1991-1993, January.
What you'll be judged on
Did you keep to the 1991-93s Grunge fashion? Is your background and extras set in the years 1991-93?
Is your Calendar Girl standing out from the crowd, or blending into the background?
Are the walls up or down? We'd prefer to see walls up, where they should be.
Are those pesky thought bubbles showing?
Are any extras in your picture behaving themselves?
RULES
1. Please be kind to each other, rudeness will not be tolerated.
2. No face plastering of any kind.
3. We will give extensions when needed, but to make it fair, we ask that you let us know TWO days before the due date, so others can take advantage of the extension. However, we will take into account things such as Patches and game issues ( we know you can not plan those issues)
4. No major changes to model once submitted, unless we allow for it in an assignment. The exception to this rule is CC skin, if skin is causing your game to have issues, I do not mind if you need to change it, just please try to keep it close to the original colour. I will also make exceptions on a case to case basis. ( I understand CC can go wonky) We request that eye colour stay the same, but if you need to remove CC eyes or contacts, that's fine.
5. Hair colour and make up can be changed at any time, it's up to you!
Scoring:
Scoring will be a 100 point process.

The sweet and demure hairstyle accompanied by an innocent and humble pose and facial expression!!! Too many exclamation marks? Probably, but I need to emphasise how awesome it is!! Just remarkable capture of the 80's virginal bride Sun, and the edit of the sun's reflection? Perfection.

Comments: Oh, I adore this picture. I don't actually know what to say, because to me this pic actually looks like it could be an old pic of an 80's wedding reception that someone found in the back of their closet. It's a moment in time pic and those are hard to judge. Honestly, Panda, I just don't think you could change a thing in this pic. The clothing is perfect and the extras are behaving. WOW! I love that it looks like they are just taking a moment to themselves in the middle of the party.

I like how it's a bit dark as well, her dress and gloves gives a little goth vibe which started in that decade. It's very edgy, eighties and excellent JK!

Their hair..wow, you nailed it perfectly. I love the Groom's flair of hot pink and our Bride looks stunning. Lol those flower in the background..are they fresh or are they 80's silk and plastic flowers.....real or not...one will never know. PERFECT you nailed this assignment!

Very creative implementing the colour red into the flowers, the month and year date, and even her hair! Which is fantastically wavy! I would be checking myself out as well in that dress, the texture is divine! I'll miss your pictures Simpixie!

She's just having a little fun, marry the guy with the mullet Skye, he has a sense of humour. Ugh poida, you get me all caught up in your sims! I can feel her drunken exuberance in all of her eighties pastels and big hoop wedding dress glory. Wonderful poida.

Your entries are humorous as always, however for this assignment I would have liked to have seen you do something a little more elegant, the hair didn't seem very 80's and the pose just didn't work for me. I do like how you have the date on calender though. Also your setting looked good

You had a cute idea, and I liked how you has the year and date on your add. However I definitely wasn't a big fan of all the red. It looked to much. With the pink on top of it, the colours clashed. I did like your model's pose, and I like how you went for a coloured wedding gown instead of a normal white one. Maybe a thinner background would have looked better

I love this pic and I am in awe that you drew her hair ( at least I think you did) and so I am sorry when I say that whilst this is a beautiful picture, I am not sure it is quite 80's enough to really look at it and know 80's. But I do so love this picture and your style of ALL the pics you've entered! Fantastic.

Beautiful! I loved the background you chose, and the dress is nice! I think the thing that ruined this picture for me was the hair drawn on, I know you took time drawing it and it's a very hard thing to do (I gave you extra points for creativity) however it didn't speak 80's to me, and it was missing the back of the hair, you drew all the front but not the back.

This was a cute idea o advertising the dress, however i don't think I would buy it. Simply because the setting is a bit boring, maybe if you had her in more of a weddish scenery and the text with it, it would seem more like a bridal add. I like the pose as it's really simple and compliments the dress.

So, I am so sorry I had to score so low, but this just does not look like an 80's bride pic to me. If I didn't know the assignment, this pic could be anything. She looks more like she's in a band from the future. Please forgive me, because I do really enjoy this pic.

Her hair and make up makes her look like she just came out of a white snake video! I am sorry, and please forgive me but the background takes away from the Bride instead of adding to her and I think it's really let you down, because her pose and attitude are just so perfect.

I don't think this was your best picture, it just didn't say wow to me. I think the background was a little to much as my attention was drawn more to that than your model. The veil looked edited in. Your model's pose was fine and I liked the dress you had chosen.

That being said, it didn't strike me as 80's. You've got the perfect hairstyle but it's hidden and a bit dark with the lighting effect. I want a little more oomph, it's the 80's, loud and proud!

I was born in the 90's 8)
But everyone I knew dressed like they were in the 80's
