Hope you've had a good weekend lovely
Thank you, Carl! Loki's Romance is going good, we just shipped and order and are working on two more. We got some fun events coming up too, two student fashion shows in a row!
Ooooh that sounds awesome!! I bet it feels amazing to see your work in fashion shows!!
thx for the votes on Lady in Red, Yellow and Blue. the model just emailed me that she bought a little black dress which sounds promising for a future set!
board games! that is my contest idea. :)
There was a chess one that did quite well...... :D
aww someone beat me to it. shucks
That one was just for chess, and there are other board games out there, so it's still a good idea :D Would be interesting to see how people do some games!
i have a hot checkers set. i play it while i get naked. lol
I'm not sure what the difference between normal and hot checkers is, but sounds cool :D
Hey hun hope your okay :) hugs x
Thanks for the comment :) *hugs back* I'm ok, sorting things my end out one thing at a time :D How are you? x
Am not too bad not great but average haha I'm not sleeping too well these days am happy your starting to he stuff sorted x
I'm not really sleeping well either haha very strangely on a Sunday night the last couple weeks I've had no sleep at all..... Other days I get rubbish sleep, but Sundays I get 0 sleep. It's very odd. I hope your sleeps a lot better then mine!!
Lol well I'm awake til about 6am then sleeping til about 10 and then do the whole thing again lol z
Can't wait to see what you come up with for your newest prize! The themes are always so interesting.

Great choice of winner of the Transition contest, Carl. I love She Can Do Magic, and it is so lovely to see Zephyr win a prize!

I have to say, you chose the right set to win Transition! It was definitely my pick too (even over my own haha) :-)
My "Transition" prize
Yes it is a bit of an odd title, but it's a really simple concept. All I'm looking for is a series of photos where something changes/transforms. It can be someone moving from location to location looking for something, can be someone building something from nothing, anything! All I want is to see what happens photo by photo, so the set tells the story of the transition! So not just a set of different poses in the same place!
I'm looking for creativity and artistic sets here, so even though someone starting off fully clothed and doing a strip does fit this theme, it's not that creative by itself, so that sort of set is very unlikely to win this prize (unless you do more with it in a creative and artistic way!).
I know I probably won't get anywhere near as many entries into this prize as my previous prizes, but I love to see sets which have a story to them, with a clear start and end, and would love to see a prize for them, so I made one myself :D
I can't wait to see what everyone does for it!!
**Just to make one thing clear, I'll be the one choosing the winner this time. Number of votes or comments won't be a factor at all (although I'd still like to see comments on the sets!!) **

Trnmsition contest? Let me transform that word into TRANSITION. Sorry about the typo.
Posted on 01/26/2012
by EnglishBabs
Thinking of ideas for your trnmsition contest. I do have one theme in mind, but it will require a little more planning.
I like your sets! Very nice work! :)
How are you lately
thanks for the block of votes and the nice comment on The Dress
Thanks for being my new friend!! I have an interesting idea for your new prize. I hope you like it when I post it :)

by Pirate Photography
ooo an intriguing concept for your contest! *gets thinking* :D
Love the concept for new prize :) x
i may have an idea for a self shot entry into your latest prize, but i'll have to see how it works out. if it does work i think it will be awesome! it may totally fail though lol
Posted on 01/22/2012
by EnglishBabs
Yes, there is a lot of scope for good ideas with your new contest. People enter contests for publicity? Really? I just enter contests when the theme takes my fancy, or when I come up with a an idea for something which suits the theme of the contest.
I really like your ideas for Zivity Prizes, I think I am going to try and make a nice creative set for your Transitions. :)
I love the theme so it is quite tempting and gives me something to plan..so we shall see..I have no doubt I will enjoy every entry as you will!
I will be if I can come up with a good idea......I think I might have one though. Just requires me to find a photographer :)
Glad to see you have a new contest entry ..I love how you pull the best out of the artists! Keeping the new year exciting as usual! Have a great week!
Stoked for the new contest!!

You explained it very well, and hopefully people will keep to the criteria.

Great , original contest idea! Maybe there won't be as many entries in this contest, but I bet there will be some good ones!
** Due to a lot of messages asking about this, I need to make clear that in my "Fully Clothed" prize, people need to be fully clothed in the prize. Also, if any underwear is visible in any photo, then your not fully clothed! I thought it was clear what a fully clothed prize would mean, but obviously not. Sorry! **
Just to make something clear right from the word go, I am not against nudity or stripping! There are a couple of reasons I wanted to make this prize:
Reason no1. is that when I'm talking to models about them joining the site, they're put off by all the nudity. I've been told on a number of occasions that they simply won't pose nude (which is fair enough and I will never force anyone to pose nude), and they feel that it looks like all people on this site want is to see nudity, when it's about a lot more then that. I want to encourage people to not strip, but still take gorgeous photos!
Reason no2. is that this time last year I had my Water prize up, and I had a lot of complaints from people saying it was too cold to shoot water shots this time of year! So it shouldn't be too cold for a prize where people stay fully clothed :D
The other thing I want to encourage with this contest is user comments. I see so many people leave votes and not comment on the set! So the winner of this contest won't be my favourite set, and it won't be the set with the highest votes, it'll be the set with the highest number of individual commentors! So a set with 1million votes and one comment would come second to a set with 2 votes and 2 comments :D I'd love to read people's feedback on a set! What they love, what they find funny, anything! There's nothing worse then an incredible photoset, with tonnes and tonnes of votes, but barely any comments!
If anyone has any questions, inbox me! And since this will be won by commentors, I'm only going to allow new sets into this one sorry! Wouldn't be fair on people otherwise!
Good luck and I hope you all enjoy shooting these sets as much as I'll enjoy seeing the sets and all people's comments on them!
**This is a very easy theme to stick to, but I'm going to be strict on it. If there's a set that doesn't stay true to staying fully clothed, I won't let it win, no matter how many comments it gets. Please keep this in mind when making your sets! I'm sorry but it wouldn't be fair on people who'll stick to the theme if I'd let a set like that win! **

And am so glad you like the set :)
Took ages to do lol it's not my best ps work as I had to rush a lot or it

Hey stranger
