Singles Awareness Day ~ Closed ~ Winners Gifted

Welcome to the Foundation for Singles Awareness. We have one day a year to make our existence known, so please join us in celebrating Singles Awareness day on February 14th!
Please help us get the word out about this amazing group of people who are seemingly ignored every other day of the year. Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell your neighbor's friends that Singles are awesome. You want to do more to spread the word? I'm so glad you volunteered!
We need Single Sims with strong personalities to apply as our new spokesperson. Can you help us find him or her?
This is a CaS competition.
Your mission: Create a single Sim (male or female, any lifestate is fine), then upload it to your studio and present their info here for our talent scouts to set up an interview. Please do not nominate any Sims with CC. Custom content awareness has a whole month and it frankly steals our thunder too often.
We accept Sims regardless of heritage, so all EPs, SPs, and Store content is permitted. Please also forward a portfolio with at least 5 pictures as some of the talent scouts will be unavailble to participate in the interviews but will still have a vote in the final selection.
Some things to consider:
Everyone is beautiful, no matter their shape, size, or color. Sometimes they do have questionable fashion sense though... So please present a variety of features, not just what is popular in the media.
Also, in your Sim's Bio, it may help to think about what makes them special. It's probably not because they're dreaming of that someday when that special someone will walk by them someplace and WHAM! they'll fall in love. People are unique of their own accord. What makes this one so amazing?

Sorry but there are a few rules. They bring order to chaos.
1. No CC (Custom Content). We don't have enough vaccines to handle the problems that come from CC.
2. Sim must be brand new. Upload date must be 2/11/14 - 2/14/14
3. Sim must be your own creation. Taking credit for the work of others is like taking someone else's cookie. It's not right. Even little kids know it.
4. All Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs, and Store Content is permitted.
5. No CaP (Create a Pattern) patterns. Store patterns are fine, but CaP is not allowed. Using the in game recolor tool is not CaP. CaP is a separate download. You'll know if you used it.
6. "Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind" -Henry James
7. No more than 5 pictures may be used in your entry post. If you wish to share additional photos, please set up a link at the end of your entry form to a place that is not this thread that has the additional photos.
8. Entries must be uploaded to the Exchange only. No mediafire, no blog link, no carrier pigeon with a USB drive.
9. You may enter up to three times.
10. Sim must be Young Adult or older.
11. Photots are allowed. (Use of Pose Player, in-game movie maker cheats, and hideheadlineeffects on are all permitted for your entry photos.)
Additional rules may be added at the discretion of the host.

Congratulations!
All of the entries were very close and I had to bring in a 4th secret judge to break some ties! Wonderful work everyone!
Tutorial on using in game poses for great pictures
Q: Can I submit my entry using a Pack Mule?
A: No. They smell horrid. If you can train an aardvark, I'll accept that as a means of delivery.
When it comes to taking photos, are we allowed to use Pose Player, movie maker cheats, and that one that makes the plumbob go away?
edited because 'photots' is not a word
Photots should be a word.
Photots-v.- use of pose player and all in game cheats to cause a sim to appear to the greatest advantage in photos.
Photots is permitted.
*edited because Photots is a word now.
Excellent! Thank you
Also, I am happy to hear that 'photots' is now a word, because that extra t always manages to sneak in. It's meant to be
*Edit to add: My phone now recognizes Photots as a real word. Yay!
I might even brave pose player, I have no idea how to use it, but it seems like fun.
Lots of love and hugs.
It's really easy to use. You place the item on the lot, then you can click your sim to select a pose. Don't forget to get some pose packs though!
Using moveobjects on is useful also because you can alter where the sim is standing while posed in case you want to make them closer to a wall or near a light source, or they just won't stand facing where you told them.
Lots of love and hugs.
There are several pose packs there as well, yes. Obviously some creators are more talented than others...
Greencats had an awesome list of posepacks a while back. I wish I'd saved that post...
I know, Greencats is really the go-to person for making sims look wonderful in screenshots. She posted what color she changes the lighting too a while back and I wrote it down but lost it. I wish I had bookmarked it.
I can't find it. I know it was around the time of the plus sized modeling comp... Will keep searching tonight if I can.
It had to be just before or right around that contest, because that's when the modeling changed in my studio.
But it would not matter if my photots were not made with pose player, right?
Regular in game animations and pictures are wonderful! Often I actually think they're better than pose player. moviemakercheatsenabled true is an awesome tool for people who don't use mods.
Tenacity is a virtue.
Here's where she talked about pose player and photos.
Too tired from entering other contests...
