Mona Kelley

Models:
Lacy Caspian by Blookazoo1P
- I love her style and the hair pops out at you straight away!

Mona Kelley by berrypie27
- Lovely, classic look, perhaps needs a tiny bit more glam but she fits the bill!

Georgia Roberts by CharlieCatt
- Very pretty sim, looking forward to what you come up with!

Agnes Atwater by chica_del_padre
- Not particularly showing Ms. Glamour straight away, but from the bio it seems like she wants a change and I’m interested to see how that happens!

Nicolette Marque by peaceloveleah
- Beautiful sim, very glamorous, just had to pick her over Mizz!

Blanche by cupcake
- Very cute and retro, lovely sim!

Abigail Montague by cantapoupe
- I can see a lot of potential in her, I like the 60s vibe!

Aubree “Bree” VanDekamp by commeuneplume
- Love, love, love the DH reference the real Bree epitomises poise under pressure and hopefully your sim will too!

Jacqueline Gray by hushfirefly
- Another sim that could do with a touch more glam, but I know you can do it!

Evelyn Knight by HelBelle
- Another absolutely gorgeous sim, loved the kissing pose too!

ASSIGNMENT 1

A trip to the local park means a large audience for your sim’s style.

Whatever activity you and/or your family and friends are doing, your sim has to have that special touch of glamour and style that will make everyone notice them and think “I wish I could look like that everyday!”

- Aubree “Bree” VanDekamp by commeuneplume
I love the idea for this one, great composition, great outift choice and great contrast with the other sim!

- Agnes Atwater by chica_del_padre
This had to be a favourite because of the amazing transformation of Agnes! Love the idea of her getting new attention too, she deserves it!

- Nicolette Marque by peaceloveleah
The composition of this shot was beautiful and made it really stand out! But it was a shame not to see any other sims to compare her too.

- Abigail Montague by cantapoupe
She looks fab, I love the pose and the outfit choice, she’s too good for him anyway if she doesn’t get a second date!

- Blanche by cupcake
The caption on this was brilliant, great contrast with the other sim.

- Evelyn Knight by HelBelle
I love butterflies, and she is obviously a gorgeous sim who deserves to be in this competition, but again there were no other sims for her to stand out among.

- Jacqueline Gray by hushfirefly
She looks gorge while indulging in one of her passions, great outfit and composition, but again no other sims!

- Lacy Caspian by Blookazoo1P
I love the fierce look at th camera and a nice angle on the swings, could do with some background sims though.

- Mona Kelley by berrypie27
Great use of the family in the background while making sure that she is the main focus of the picture!

Eliminated:
- Georgia Roberts by CharlieCatt
This really was tough because your sim is beautiful, but she wasn’t the main focus of this picture unfortunately, I spent as much time looking at him as I did at her because she didn’t pop out, it is a gorgeous photo though and very very cute! Sorry that you won’t be continuing!

…………….

Assignment 2

The brief:
Exercise is the worst enemy of glamour, a sweaty and red-faced sim will not do here! Your challenge is to take a photo of your sim looking athletic and gorgeous at the same time! Anywhere, any type of exercise and with anyone, just look fabulous

I love the angle of this, her outfit is great, her face is stunning and I’m also left wondering how that other girl got in!

- Abigail Montague by cantapoupe
The outfit is very cute, she has the “cool, calm and collected” vibe down, I love the reflection in the sunnies!

Also Through to Assignment 3:
- Lacy Caspian by Blookazoo1P
The outfit as I said in the other thread is awesome, love the pattern, and a great idea!

- Agnes Atwater by chica_del_padre
Very chilled out yoga pose, great backdrop, nicely co-ordinated outfit!

- Aubree “Bree” VanDekamp by commeuneplume
One of her weaker shots, she does look lovely in the moonlight but the angle isn’t very creative, I know she can look a lot better!

- Blanche by cupcake
Lovely backdrop, great outfit (a very classy choice!)

- Jacqueline Gray by hushfirefly
Great, original idea! The outfit is very cool and this really shows a different side to her!

- Evelyn Knight by HelBelle
Love the facial expression, she looks like she’s exercising as much as the person on the treadmill!

Eliminated:- Nicolette Marque by peaceloveleah
It’s a real shame, because your sim is so gorgeous (is she on the exchange to download?) but this shot let her down, she doesn’t look particularly glamorous in her outfit compared to the other sims, great concept though!

Assignment 3

The brief:
The kitchen can be a messy place, but a sim with true style won’t let this ruffle their feathers, nor will they resort to changing into scruffy clothing. Your assignment is to show your sim looking their best while catering for a large group of friends or family. They simply won’t have time to change between courses!

Blookazoo1P

Course I cooked all the food *shify eyes*, I’ve been slaving away in the kitchen all day!” *quickly shoos away maid*

HelBelle

‘As her friends sat and chatted in the dining room, Evelyn got on with preparing the dessert. She had made and ate an entire 3 course meal and still, not a hair out of place.’

chica_del_padre

Agnes she didn’t want her world famous cobbler to steal Clark’s spotlight – he had, after all, just gotten a promotion – so she had the dinner party catered. The bosses seemed impressed and offered her a position in their event planning department!

berrypie27

Mona has always been the perfect hostess. The ladies just love when its her turn to host their weekly gathering. She makes sure everyone is attended to before taking her seat.

hushfirefly

Jaqueline doesn’t know why she even tries to cook for the board members. All they do is drink all her juice then crank up that classical music!

cupcake

When it comes to hosting the perfectionist in Blanche comes out. Perfect food…. check. Looking perfect….. check. Guests happy and perfectly stuffed… check.

Here is Abigail. So what if mac and cheese is all she can cook? All that matters is that she looks good doing it.

Faves:
- Blanche by cupcake
This is a stunning photo, great angle, great clothing, great pose!

- Evelyn Knight by HelBelle
A really creative angle, great idea to have the diners in the background and she looks stunning while cooking!

- Abigail Montague by cantapoupe
Another fabulous pose while cooking, great outfit too!

Also onto Assignment 4:
- Mona Kelley by berrypie27
Another beautiful picture, the pose and angle are lovely, I understand why everyone looks forward to her turn to host!

- Agnes Atwater by chica_del_padre
A very bad job at not overshadowing, but all the better for it! Love the pose (and the effort with the pause button that went into it) she looks great too!

- Jacqueline Gray by hushfirefly
She looks stunning, could be posed better but her party seems like a fun time!

Not carrying on:
- Aubree “Bree” VanDekamp by commeuneplume
No picture by the deadline, so unfortunately this means elimination

- Lacy Caspian by Blookazoo1P
I hate to do this because she is a mega amazing sim, simply because of a lack of pizazz compared to the other pictures, she looks stunning though!

Assignment 4

The brief:
Let’s hope your sims don’t have hair that frizzes at even the sight of water! This challenge requires them to look good in swimwear, wherever they choose to wear it!

chica_del_padre

Agnes didn’t know that her new lifestyle would cause such a rift in Sunset Valley’s elite society. Thankfully, she learned to take the snide remarks and sideways glances in stride years ago.

berrypie27

Mona has always been a little health conscious, so when she heads out onto the beach, she makes sure to apply her sunscreen.

“What? I’m just drinking juice.”

HelBelle

‘Evelyn could spend hours just standing and watching the sea, the waves always had her transfixed.’

hushfirefly

Hey the invite said pool party!

cupcake

“Darling please, if nothing else learn to keep your composure.”

Faves:
- Blanche by cupcake
Love the suit, love the location and love the caption!

- Mona Kelley by berrypie27
Amazing use of pose (very creatively done, how on earth did you think of it?!) this picture leaps out at you immediately!

Also through to assignment 5:
- Abigail Montague by cantapoupe
Another great pose, she looks stunning too!

- Agnes Atwater by chica_del_padre
Great suit and great contrast with the “ordinary folk” in the picture!

- Jacqueline Gray by hushfirefly
Love the idea of being so daring as to turn up to a party looking so different and not caring! Great suit too!

Eliminated:
- Evelyn Knight by HelBelle
This is a beautiful photo, her suit is very nice too, but without seeing her face or her against other sims, this one has to be the one to go unfortunately thank you for entering such a beautiful sim though!

……………….

Assignment 5

The briefs:
1) Romantic encounters mean putting in effort, your sim has a hot date (with their spouse or any significant other) and wants to look amazing. Be it a formal or casual date, a lack of effort won’t impress!

2) Your sim is an ambassador for style so when visiting the neighbours they have to put their best foot forward, or who knows what gossip will be spread!

berrypie27

Mona spends most of her life in public eye. So when she and her husband have a date night. They choose to spend it in the comfort of their own home. Once the children are asleep, the couple enjoy their quiet evening.

Now Mona has never been one to gloat, but she can’t help herself when she is around Vita Alto. She gets a real kick out of showing up unannounced and looking fabulous. Vita just can’t compare in that frumpy fur coat.

cupcake

Blanche always takes her time carefully getting ready. While her husband wishes he had a snickers.

Blanche always likes to be the first to welcome the new neighbors, even though some of them might not have the same class as her.

hushfirefly

Jaqueline’s ideal romantic date consists of throwing on a new frock, turning up the thermostat, then calling the repair man.

Ah the welcoming committee. A perfect place for Jaqueline to show her new competition what they are up against.

chica_del_padre

Agnes wasn’t thrilled when Clark suggested they have date day at the stadium – watching a bunch of guys chasing a ball isn’t her idea of fun. She was pleasantly surprised though when it seemed to reinvigorate the spark they used to have in their early days of dating – you can see most clearly in her eyes. (And she was slightly disappointed because they seemed to be the only ones dressed in team colors!)

Of course Agnes accepted when the Langerak’s asked her to their house party! She never turns down a chance to show people her best moves.

Cantapoupe

Here is Abigail going for a walk through the park with her date. Looks like that guy at the pool made a move!

And here she is showing off her new duds at a late evening BBQ with the neighbours. “Don’t you just love it?!”

Assignment 6

The brief:
I know we should never see your sim in public not looking her best but it is reasonable that first thing in the morning she might not look like the next Ms. Glamour! For this assignment (and the only time I’ve ever asked you to) I’d like a before and after picture. The first will show her as she really is below the make-up and the styling (fresh from waking up) and the second will show her caterpillar to butterfly transformation after choosing her outfit for the day and putting on her make-up!

You must submit 2 photos, one ‘before’ shot and one ‘after’ shot.

Photo Entries

berrypie27

Here we see Mona fresh faced straight out of bed. A sight not seen by many. Only her husband is allowed to the experience of Natural Mona.

Primped and polished. Mona is now ready to face the world!

cupcake

Photo #1 First thought when waking, must get permanent makeup.

Photo #2 I don’t know what you are talking about darling, that photo was not of me.

chica_del_padre

The first thing Agnes does in

the morning is wash her face. She loves the fresh, clean feeling she gets and is ready to start her day.

Agnes always gives herself a pep talk before leaving the house. “Sticks and stones can break my bones…” she reminds herself, “…but their words can never hurt me.”
