Confessional

How did you find MOTY this season?
I loved the contest! Every round there is a completely different challenge, with great designers in the fashion industry!
How hard was the competition?
It was very hard, the other contestants are awesome!!!
Which of your pictures was your favorite?
I really liked my pose off :)
Which picture do you wish you could do over again?
Maybe some pics of this round, I didn't had the chance to take as many time as I usually do.
Which was your favorite picture from each contestant?
I love Jamali's Avon ad, its so colorful that it makes me want to buy the perfume! I also liked Nairobi's beach pic, its so fresh and bright! I loved Ms Dee's Obsession ad, its so sexy! And Carrie's Walmart ad is so fresh! I love the bright colors!
Which was the hardest MOTY task?
The pose off, you didn't knew how the other girls posed, that's why I worked really hard on that task.
Which contestant inspired you even though they were eliminated?
I loved Zoria's and Annika's unique beauty, but I found a friend with Yara.
What will Ava be doing after MOTY?
Probably keep modeling, but I would like to have a husband and kids someday, hopefuly soon.
Do you have any suggestions for tasks next cycle?
I really liked the tasks, and I would like to see similar ones but addapted to different clients.
If you dont win, who do you want to win?
Jamali, this is her first contest and she made it all the way to the final round! Obviously she made a huge effort and I think she deserves it.

[Pandrito]

FINALLY FINISHED!!!

im sorry punkd ... were going to have to close. we have waited all day and i am about to retire for the night. i hope you get ur entry in before i hear back from mumo or tyler ... :( i am sooooooooo sorry. i think destin is likely willing to edit his scores if you submitted the rest of your entry while he was on, but you didnt show up after u messaged me (saying u would finish).

im off for the night now ... i hope u get ur entry in before i get up :D

[Tyler_SC]

Finishing typing my comments now.

[joanne_SC]

tyler - if punkd submits his entry within the next 7 hours will u be willing to edit your scores?

i think people value your opinion deep down tyler. if u want to add comeents i can wait til the morning ... and in hopes that punkd might turn in an entry.

[Tyler_SC]

yeah, i'll send my comments in after work then.

[joanne_SC]

Firstly I would like to say that you are MOTY's first and probably will always be everyone's favourite plus model. Either way Nairobi has really got it! Your first picture was nice, but I was trying to understand what you related to her name, was it night you were going for? It's a greats shot but her legs kind of disappear into the darkness of the shadows. Your second picture was great, nice colour ... great choice of outfit and makeup but I hoped to see more bling. Plus the chunky bracelet almost outshines Nairobi's beauty. Also I think maybe her expression was a little surprising for the picture as well. I think a still expression would have been more effective for this particular picture. The valentino picture was awesome.... i really really love it! The lighting and pose is great but the big blank space makes it a little awkward ... also the picture in picture I tend to take more notice of her clothes than her glasses. Vera Wang picture is elegant, and she looks really stunning in it. There are not a thing I could pick wrong in this picture, I love it ... it's exactly how I would have done it. Overall Nairobi has done consistently well through out this contest and I think your entires tend to vary with how busy you are. I have seen so much better from you cinamun and I wished you put maybe a tiny bit more into your finals, because you do have some serious skill. I really wished you used them as much as you did in your other rounds. You have done soooooo well to get this far!

Your “name” shot is my favourite of the bunch. Nairobi is having fun and she looks amazing! The composition and choices give this great graphic appeal. I’m afraid you lost me on the Valentino shot. Nairobi looks so beautiful in the B&W shot, but the colour shot just doesn’t work. Your Vera Wang ad is really pretty but seems like it’s missing something...Nairobi looks a little lost here and there is an overall flatness to her usually voluptuous figure. The Swarovski shot is wonderful, I love the punch and sparkle of her makeup, and it looks fabulous with the dress and bracelet. The banner is creative, nice job.
Nairobi is gorgeous and different, with lots of confidence and diversity. There was some inconsistency in your photos; sometimes you took a risk with an angle and the proportions suffered, but sometimes those risks really payed off.

I love the backgrounds in your ads. They add to the overall beauty of each photo, without taking the attention away from where it should be, on you! The hat in the 'Proud of your Name' ad kind of hides your face, which isn't very good, but the pose is pretty. The Swarovski ad had a glare in it that kind of hurts my eyes. In the Valentino ad, the black & white pose is gorgeous - you look angelic - but the pose in the colored part looks ridiculous. Looks like you are passing out from exhaustion or something. The Vera Wang ad is simple & gorgeous - all eyes go directly to you & the dress you picked is fantastic. Your banner shows you have a cute, fun side, which is always refreshing. Your poses are pretty [aside from the Happy Birthday photo, first round] & in good taste. Although your pictures are glare-ish at times, which draws away from them. You mainly chose makeup & hairstyles, which compliment your good looks, instead of, mask it & draw away from it. Good work.


COMMENTS FROM MUMO

Your pictures were beautiful. The only one I am going to comment on is the Vera Wang. It seemed to be lacking spark. It’s still a beautiful picture. You have been more than consistent with this whole contest. Your sim is beautiful and you have portrayed that throughout this contest.

Dee brings something else to MOTY. Nothing else I've seen from a contestant in the past. Her persona is bubbly and so real it makes me just love her to bits. First of all your personality shot was great, and very elegant and all round impressive. Sometimes it puts maybe a neater touch to the picture if you centre the words to they are aligned nicely, but I’m not going to knock points for that because Dee is drop dead gorgeous in it. My favourite picture this round would have had to be your Valentino ad though. What a sexy mamma!! The lighting is better; because she is a chocolate beauty it's hard to get it right all the time. Other than that the colour is nicely coordinated with the bold colours and Dee pulls out a fantastic sultry face! Top marks Wayne! Your Swarovski ad was great, the dramatic makeup is good but I wish you did so much more with it. I see so much potential in you and I know you could have done so much better with the task at hand. The Vera Wang picture was very pretty ... I did like it, everything was spot on exactly the way I would have wanted it, but her hands kind of disappear into the dress which gives it a little bit of a strange effect. But on the other hand ... you have been a fantastic contestant and very consistent from start to finish and I have saw you grow in this contest and really pull it out each round ... well done big daddy!

The “name” shot is perfect. So classy, so much sparkle, and Dee is looking great. Dee gets a little lost to the background in the B&W part of the Valentino ad but it’s so well composed, and the colour shot is fantastic. Super-creative job on the Swaroski ad. And ok...that is one of the most beautiful wedding dress shots I’ve ever seen, just amazing. Your banner loses me just a little, although Dee looks great with that hair and dramatic makeup. You did an outstanding job with Dee, you pushed some creative limits, and your entries were always solid with lots of visual appeal. There was a slight ongoing issue with giving your model a little more glow and pop with lighting. But she always looked incredible and your skill really shows.

In your 'Proud of your Name' ad, it was beautiful, but the writing in it should have been centered; the off placement of the bottom line drives the eye away from the overall beauty. Your choice of makeup (mainly the lipstick) in all ads (except your 'Valentino' & 'Swarovski' ads) is almost too bright & garish. Your choice of dress for the 'Vera Wang' ad is gorgeous, but the pose isn't right for it. It makes the dress look too poofy & almost comical. It doesn't represent Vera Wang very well. The 'Swarovski' ad is pure gorgeous. I love the makeup & the headdress. The left pose in your banner is gorgeous & represents the beauty of the body well.
Overall, you did fairly well. The poses (with the exception of the Vera Wang one) are all beautiful, but I would watch your choice of makeup in the future. I love the simplicity of the Swarovski ad; it really shows off your true beauty.

Your Round 4 entry was absolutely amazing. The only thing I would say is with your David picture is to have had just the one picture of your sim. Throughout the whole contest and with every picture you have shown that you have more than a creative flare. I have adored each one of your pictures and the sheer elegance of each one.

From the start I thought Jamali was such a unique beauty and she stood out from the moment you posted her application. The first picture … I love the junk food picture. It's soooooooo pretty and beautifully vibrant. I'm big on things being colour co ordinated and you managed to get all the colours spot on with makeup, hair and clothes (OT* LOVE THE DRESS!) You manage to do this with all your entries and get them just perfect, and I love it. The Valentino ad I wished was a little better. It seemed as if her cheeks disappeared into the background with makes he face a little skinny looking even though I know it's probably just the lighting. Also the legs look a little smudgy and her inner leg looks a bit weird. If you look a little closer I found her top part to be a little smaller than her bottom making it a little out of proportion. Your Vera Wang I’m not even going to comments on ... Jamali looks beautiful and elegant and you deserve top marks for this picture. The swarovski ad was great also.... nice background all the right elements to it. The real hair and makeup were placed cleverly into the photo well. The film glare is a little off putting but I still do love this picture a whole bunch. I love the banner soooooo much, I liked how you took a little from everything you've done and put it in there. Overall you have been consistent and never failed to please myself and the judges with your fantastic skill and talent. Well done footballer ... you have been such a great contestant!

The “name” shot is outstanding, so much fun, so much attitude, I love it. Jamali looks outrageous in both the B&W and the colour shots in the Valentino ad...you know how to work it. The Vera Wang ad is also terrific, Jamali looks a tiny bit confused and out of her usual smouldering element, but it’s a great ad. The Swarovski shot is a total “wow”...you really showcased the actual product effectively and your model looks fantastic. Your banner is perfect. You and Jamali really brought it in this contest. Jamali smoulders with attitude, your lighting was always impeccable, and your model looked fantastic in every way. Compositions, style choices...all excellent. I’m completely impressed; these were all very artful and visually arresting entries.

Fantastic work! All your photos & poses are insanely gorgeous & very eye-catching. The only problem I have with them is the dress in the 'Proud of your Name' ad, although cute & fitting, has an almost sickly glare. Your cheeks are way too dark in the 'Valentino' ad, which is saddening, because the colored picture is so pretty. The 'Vera Wang' ad pose & dress is gorgeous, but the lipstick choice is not. Everything is pretty about both the 'Swarovski' ad & the banner. Poses & overall pictures are fantastic throughout each round, although, as mentioned before, I would watch the choice in lipsticks.

Your pictures for this round were beautiful. Your 1st picture was so vibrantly colourful, good enough to eat. And your Valentino ad, it was just sexy, her facial expression was stunning. You have shown that you have what it takes to be the next MOTY in every round. Beautifully executed.

To be completely honest I didn't actually take a liking to Ava straight away. The dark makeup in her application did not flatter her at all. But once she went natural and you could see her beautiful expressions and facial structure it really turned my head and I have grown to really really like her alot. Angelic Ava! Spot on that's exactly as I imagined it, the pose and background and how serene it looks I love it. The words I wished were maybe a little bolder so they didn't clash with all the white in the picture. The Valentino ad is fantastic. It's like you were portraying two characters in this picture, a preppy ava and super sexy model ava. I lived her expression and the way she looks away from the camera ads a nice effect to the picture. My only thing I’m going to pick at is upper arm. It looks a little un-naturally straight. The Vera Wang picture was elegant and nice, but the shadows came off a little weird to me and the cheesy maxis grin is probably a bit too much for the ad. But I do love the dress! That would have to be my fave dress from pron up Sims ... Your swarovski ad was fantastic. I liked how you changed her eyes to set the scene, to make them almost diamond like. I live the writing you put on it aswell because it reflects ava well. I would have liked to see some water reflection or colour to make her look like she was in water, but still top marks for this picture because it would have to be one of my faves. I noticed you also put my favourite picture in your banner, which is great. You have proved to be a great contestant through out and you bring something else to this contest because Ava is such a rare beauty.

The “name” task is breathtaking, absolutely gorgeous in every way. B&W Ava in the Valentino ad looks awesome, but not her best in the colour shot. But you’ve done another perfect photo with the Vera Wang, just beautiful. The Swarovski shot just misses it for me...although Ava looks fantastic she doesn’t seem in proportion with her environment. And then your banner is fantastic! You have a distinctive style with an unusual model, and your decisions were excellent. I was highly impressed with how much you respect Ava and always portray her with class, and a gracefulness that is very rare.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!! All your ads are done in good taste. The hair, makeup, & poses all add to the photos, instead of taking away. I'm very impressed with your 'Valentino' ad, as both photos are exceptional. Although sometimes, your photos get a little bit monochromatic, which can be boring. All your work is brilliant. Your poses, hair styles, makeup, everything. It adds to your natural beauty.

[Pandrito]

YAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!:cdance:
WE DID IT!!!!

Thank you so much Joanne for such an amazing contest!!! And thanks Tyler, Destin, Bree, Mumo and Cindi for being amazing judges!!!

Ok, so this is the part where I tell you how I came out with the idea of making Ava... My university is far away from my house, and everyday I have to take the bus for about hour and half, and about a month ago, right before the contest was posted I noticed a new mannequin at a store. Its a white mannequin with a white wig and hot red lips. When I saw I thought that that would be the most gorgeous sim ever, she looked so cold, but yet so alive... So everyday while I passed next to the store I tooked a mental picture of her, and at my house I started making Ava in bodyshop, until she looked exactly like the mannequin. :anime:

I will upload Ava to the Official Contest Sim Sharing Thread soon, so everyone can have their own Ava :anime:

Finally congrats to Cinamun, Punkd and Wayne, and secial congrats to FB, this is your first contest and you mad eit all the way to the final round! You have a great future at contests!!!!

lol, ok finally a little request, Joanne may I be a judge in MOTY 4? :D

[shniveshnive]

Congratz again Pandrito!

[joanne_SC]

yes of course pandrito ... moty 4 will be around in about a month ... i will PM you when its in the waiting list :D nice job!

[Pandrito]

Thanks Joanne! And thanks again Shnive!

[mizzronnie]

Congrats to the winners of this cycle and a big congrats so Pandritto and Ava!! You deserved to win :D
