Just to clarify something: I've been asked about whether or not desert backgrounds contradict the theme of jungle fever. I've heard jungle being used to describe all terrains of Africa from the savannah to the actual jungle so I'm happy for a deserty type of background to be used though just desert + no trees or foilage whatsoever is pushing it a bit and may lose you points (nobody's done that so far though). As always though, I encourage creative/playful interpretations eg working from a "concrete jungle" angle is different but perfectly acceptable as long as the rest of it fits the theme. Hope this cleared it up for some of you who were wondering

Hayes I never realized what big melons your model had! Haha!

Hahahaha big melons.cute.

Nhayes - You will be fine!! Your Great at this

I still havnt thought of my 2nd one lol errr... extention??? hahaha Judging takes forever anyway! So what is a few days

neither did I traelia lol

hope you think of something soon Lady

Can anyone explain country chic to me?

Yeah, I was confused about country chic as well. For me, it brought to mind western/country type clothing, which I didn't think mixed well with bridal wear. I'm sure it's probably just a misinterpretation on my part though.

I guess it could be taken as like Deep South of America (in case some of you aren't American). Like cowboy boots and hats, with the whites in the wedding dress being more creme, and lots of dainty lace. Like Old Western Films, or like The Sound Of Music but modernized. That's my take on it. Haha.

yeah I was ready to put cowboy hat and boots on my bride

is it like county house style wedding?

Like red barns and white farm houses with horses.

in the UK its more ye olde church and manor house reception

I'm probably going to change me pics but at least I have something up for now

I'm still can't decide which one to make "_" gosh... If I don't have any idea until tonight I think I need an extension

Apparently this 'country chic' theme is less well known than I thought, lol. Sorry, I would've explained had I realised. I guess 'country' can mean different things depending on where your from but Trae explained it pretty close to how I imagine it...minus the cowboy boots, lol (though by all means, pair cowboy boots with your sim'ss wedding dress if you can pull it off )

As always, I encourage creativity so there's room for artisitic interpretation here but in my mind a country chic wedding would be reasonably informal (without losing too much elegance) and relaxed with lots of open skies and flowers. I imagine it to be quite a romantic theme with soft colour schemes perhaps borrowed from nature with lots of delicate details in the decor. Pretty, easy flowing fabrics and delicate materials like lace and maybe silk would be used with maybe the odd ruffle and loosly structured cuts which give an overall feel of simple, pretty and romantic....does that make sense? Thing's I would consider to be contradictory to the theme is: sharp, modern cuts/overly structured designs; too much "bling"; overly bold or dark colour schemes; minimalist style and formailty.

I hope that helps. I've tried to find some examples. You don't have to copy these or mark off everything I've listed above...they're just suggestions really. If this doesn't clear it up let me know and I'll try again, lol.

PS sometimes the style I'm referring to is known as 'rustic' or 'shabby chic'.

As for judging, the last of the judges got back to me last night but I've only now had the chance to sit down at the big computer and I had a complete malfunction last night where my spreadsheets seemed to have corrupted...I've just managed to open it now though and so far so good *crosses fingers* So sorry, but this time it's me holding up the show Will try to have the results for round 3 posted before I go to bed tonight (It's 2040 here now).

I made up my own interpretation lol with is - Moving to the country - going to eat a lot of peaches ;p;

ah so it is a bit yeehaaw thanks for the explanation

Come on ng - you have had a week you should be started lol. I have got both my plans in action, just needs her pose fairy to pop up again.

See...I told you. Contests do it every time. I have to install the new patch. I haven't done that because of the problems, but AwesomeMod expired. So I might as well install Generations, which I've been sitting on.... AND going to the inlaws this weekend. So taking my pc with me 2 1/2 hours away so I can get this done.




Thank you for the great belly laugh. That was so funny!!!

Its my special talent sisaly

I'm working at it ladyawesome :D
I have been working on some paperwork for a few nights
I get idea for the pose and the clothes but still a little bit confused on sets :p

Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton just got married; they had what I would call a country chic wedding (in my opinion) which follows what missroxor is talking about.

I can understand real life business, but seriously ng you should at least have something going by now.

Guys, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, lay off. She has two days left. Who are we to judge if the things she's attending to IRL are taking precedence right now?

For those of you interested in knowing how close or far you have to go to beat the person in front I’ve compiled the cumulative scores to date. There’s still time to push your score for the next round


While we’re on the topic of scores and judging there will be a slightly different judging line-up next week. Either myself or Heaven will take the place of Sandymdh who has done a great job of judging these last three weeks but has some RL stuff to attend to next week.























EJ Comments have not been taken into account when scoring

sorry I took longer than I said I was going to with the scores. I got distracted then it got to the point where I was too tired to concentrate and give my full effort and attention so I decided it was best to sleep then come back at it in the morning.

IKR?! *kicks computer* lol, your taking your whole pc? That's dedication for ya :p

Aww, what a lovely wedding...I [i]love[/] that brooch bouquet, wish I coulda had that at my wedding instead of bloody flowers! Though if my groom turned up in blue jeans the wedding would be off I made my husband wear a kilt even though he's not Scottish! (I am though so it's ok, lol)

Very well said though I think they were only ribbing her I understand how RL can get in the way and sometimes when you've got a lot going on something like this takes a back seat (it's all nonsense at the end of the day: fun and competative but still nonsense, lol) but that's why we allow extensions For the sake of being fair to the other contestants I'd rather not go over 24 hours (The first round was an exception because of the down time) but don't be afraid to ask for one if you need one.

MissRoxor, did I get eliminated? I don't see my name on the overall R3 score list or the cumulative list.

Gah, no, I'm sorry. I accidentally marked yours grey on my spreadsheet because I had you next to someone who did dropout so I didn't copy your scores across to the final line-ups the same as I did with everyone else :/ I've fixed it now and there are still no eliminateions

...guess that sleep didn't do my consentration as much good as I thought it would, lol
