You are cordially invited to a Masquerade Ball to be held on 31 December, 2013. Dress to impress, masks are optional (for those who do not have the university masks.) To attend, post pictures of your sim dressed up and ready for the party. If you are unable to attend then feel free to join in on the conversation or to visit the studios of those who provide recolor links. Thanks for stopping by!
A big thank you to GreenCats for helping me Judge, and to Rosemow for spreading kindness and encouragement.
Thank you so much to everyone who entered, you made it so difficult to judge. It was an honor to host.

TROLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!
Tentatively Open for now, I'll be back later today to answer any questions. Thanks for stopping by!
Sorry I've made such and editing mess of the first few posts, I thought I would have had longer to set up originally. I've tried to cover the questions in the rules, I will try not to make any more edits now that the contest has officially began. It's great to see you all!
How rude :roll:
Anyway, I am in! This sounds like so much fun! I'm most likely staying in on New years eve just to keep outta trouble lol So I should be around. But I will defiantly be around to post and keep spirits up!
Anyway a couple questions:
1. Can we use CC Skin, eyes, hair to model our sim?
2. Do you want the pictures in CAS, or in game? Can we use poseplayer?
This seems so much fun! I want to do a lot of recolors!(:
One question: which time zone do you mean for 24th December? Some of us are still in the 23rd
That's a good point, it will run until 02 Jan to be safe. It's still the 23rd for me, I wanted to give a small head start for planning since it's such a busy time.

(I hope I followed the directions correctly )
Temptress Tessa: A living Golden statue.
I did have some special way I colored her makeup, But I went with the mask since it is a Masquerade Ball.
The way you have presented your sim to look like a golden statue is done so very well ! It looks great how you have done her hair and skintone. Very nice photos of her amidst the ancient columns and poppies. Great outfit and sim!

I don't have the UL masks so I hope she looks fine without one.
I did my pictures as one combined picture, if you do not want it that way tell me and I'll fix it. Thank you!
I will try to do a little thing
