Down by the water. {wywh audition}
Name: Orly Montana
Age: 21
Hometown: Melbourne, Australia
Past Pageants: Miss Melbourne, Miss Down Under, Miss Bondi Beach.
Interests: Surfing, scuba diving, pineapple milkshakes, neon colors, hot summer nights, sleeping outdoors, marine animal conservation.
Three words that describe you:: Vibrant, Daring, Supportive.
Tell us a little more about yourself:: Pageant Princess and Aussie surf goddess Orly Montana was just about to trade up the laid-back down under life for college in Philadelphia to pursue a more stable career in marine biology when she received her invitation for the Miss Tropicana Scholarship. As tough as she is girly, being the type to blow kisses in photos and get way too competitive at air hockey, Orly intends to wipe out the competition for the crown the same way she used to do to all the silly boys on the waves, while being friends with everyone. Sure, it’s a long way from a stable career, but when an opportunity comes, she has to take it by the horns and give it her all, for, her motto is to do something that scares you every day. Though in her case, that can include wearing neon green with magenta. She’s ready to jump into what ever Pielea throws at her. Still, this superhotmama of the waves has a lot to prove.

I sat in my biology class, tapping my pen on my notebook. I looked down at my white silver Michael Kors watch. Only ten more minutes. Ten more minutes until I could run home, throw on my bikini, and spend the last few hours of my evening at the pool. It was close enough to the ocean, anyway. My board may have been collecting dust in my garage, but I could bet that there would sometime soon I could break it out and shred the waves.
 
A tone came over the loudspeaker, long and steady, signaling that all classes were over for the evening. Finally. I threw my notebook into my orange tote, threw my sweater over my shoulder and trotted out the door, down the long main corridor, through the lobby, out the front door, and to my car. I flew open the door, tossing my bag into the passenger seat and flopping onto the beige leather of the driver's seat. I put the keys into the ignition and started the engine, pressing the red button on the dashboard to lower the roof and expose my shoulders to the fresh spring sunlight of Pennsylvania. I backed out of my parking spot, carefully exited the parking lot, and sped my way down the side streets and streets and alleys of Center City, until I reached my sweet and small condominium in Fairmount.
 
I walked up onto my porch, pulling out my key and grabbing a thin handful of mail. I inserted the key and turned, giving the door a slight shove until I was inside. I dropped my keys and bag on the table by my door, walking into my kitchen and shuffling through my mail.
 
"Junk, junk, junk..." I mumbled to myself, throwing them onto my counter, until I reached the last one.
 
The envelope was bright yellow, almost golden, and had my name, Orly Montana, written in delicate script on the address line. I tore it open, eagerly pulling out the crisp white papers inside. I unfolded them, reading them intently.
 
"...Miss Tropicana?" I whispered, reading further, "...island... vacation..."
 
I squealed. I threw the papers onto the counter and ran towards the phone. I could not believe it. I was in the running for Miss Tropicana, on a beautiful, tropical, island!
 
Goodbye Philly, hello Pielea!

Round Four Judging; TDP.

One year ago - 374 views
Round Four Judging; TDP.
Welcome to the runway!
 
This week, you had to work with what you got: two totally different materials! Sometimes int he fashion world, you have to work with only the certain materials available, even if they contrast greatly.
 
We've seen your designs, and now it's time for your critiques.
 
~
 
First up is Sabine.
 
Hi Sabine. We absolutely adored the boho style of your design. Fur is extremely hard to work with, and you took the extra step of turning just a fur stole, into an entire jacket! We also liekd the way you made a knit sweater AND a knit hat. The only ocmplaint we had is maybe a little bit more color. The beanie was an awesome touch, and if we could've seen a little more color like that throughout the entire outfit, we would have been extremely impressed. It just seemed a little washed out is all.
 
~
 
Next up is Livia!
 
Hello Livia! This design is stunning. You really stepped it up this week. The outfit is totally inspired, and reminds me somewhat of my favorite designs of Miu Miu. The structure of the dress is simply couture, and you set a high standa for these other girls. Very well done!
 
~
 
Next up is Inka.
 
Inka, your design also set a standard for this competition. The denim vest and leather jacket are so tough and rugged, but adding the feminine collar and pairing the top witht he sequin shortstoned it down. Thereis really great balance of feminine style and mascualinity, and it is a very well-executed design.
 
~
 
Next we would liek to see Tiffany.
 
Tiffany, we saw a big change in your style this week, given you had two very delicate and rosy materials to work with. The floral pants and red cuffs were so cute, along with the silky top and velvet accents, but we would really like to see something new and exciting from you.
 
~
 
And last, we would like to see CeCe.
 
Hello CeCe. The lace work you id on this dress is fabulous. It's very delicate on top, and heavier on the bottom which is a nice balance. The only problem I, personally, have is the belt. It's just a little bit too out of place, and some what seems like something only a mediocre designer would pull. We obviously knwo you don't pull mediocraty when it comes to fashion, so we were surprised seeing the design come down the runway.
 
~
 
So, as you see, we only judged five of you. That is because Arielle did not submit a design this week. So Arielle, it is time for you to pack your belongings, and go home. [ @thegoldenone ]
 
That means all of you who submitted designs are safe. But, that doesn't eman you can just skate along easy this week. There is only five of you, which means it will be extra difficult, and we expect you all to try your hardest and pull out your most intricate designs yet.
 
+
 
This week, you not be designing an outfit. Instead, you will be designing one thing: A handbag.
 
That's right, a handbag.
 
Your model should only be dressed in a white tee shirt or tank top, jeans, and simple shoes, with no accessories except the bag you will design.
 
The handbag you design can be anything. It can be a clutch purse, a tote bag, a purse, a messenger bag, or even a stylish backpack. The possibilities are endless. The only rule is that it CANNOT come from another bag, meaning you cannot just alter your favorite Chanel tote and make it your own. You will be constructing your piece from scratch.
 
It's important to know you all have one week.
Four of you will move on.
 
There is also a bonus prize! The first place winner of this elimination challenge will win a wallet and tote bag, courtesy of our friends at Chanel!

The Design Project: Round Three judging and Round Four Briefing
I AM SO SORRY MY LOVELY COMPETITORS!
My internet has been down. :(
On the bright side, it's not anymore! (:
 
Also, events will be posted in the group soon so you can all PLEASE roleplay actively. :D
 
+
 
This week, you had to design a gown for Miss California 2011 and Miss USA 2011, Alyssa Campanella! Instead of our critiques this week, Alyssa will be making the decision. Whoever designs her favorite dress will win a check for $2,000, tickets for you and a friend in the house to go to Alyssa's next pageant, and the privilege of seeing your dress on Alyssa at the pageant!
 
+
 
So, let's start the critiques!
[remember, this is Alyssa speaking.]
 
~
 
First up is CeCe.
 
CeCe, your dress is so striking! The red is a gorgeous color, and the slim shape of the dress is very flattering and sexy. The foil is also a nice touch, and it will sparkle amazingly under stage lights. The only thing I would change is the amount of tiers in the dress. I would love it if there wasn't any layering, or if the layering was just a different color.
 
~
 
Next is Tiffany.
 
Tiffany, this dress is stunning! I love the way it is fitted around the abdomen, and flows down like a mermaid tail at the bottom. I also like the sleeves, because it adds a little sophistication to the design. The sparkles on the bodice are also a nice touch, because there aren't too many, but not too little either. This design is very well done!
 
~
 
Arielle, you're up next.
 
Hi Arielle! I totally love your dress. It's sophisticated, and the rococo 'theme' is very unique. The only complaint I would have is how extreme it is. I can't really see myself walking across a pageant stage in it. More or less, I can see myself wearing it to a royal masquerade.
 
~
 
Next is Inka.
 
Inka, this design is lovely. It reminds of a fairytale princess. I love the sheer sleeves and wide skirt the best, and it's absolutely stunning! I also love the blue feathers and glitter around the waist, they're a really good touch. This design is very well done!
 
~
 
Livia, you're up next.
 
Livia, this design is super couture, and I love that you didn't make a dress that was too cookie-cutter pageant and perfect. I love the way is flows when the model walks, as well, it adds a really nice effect... like water. I really love this design!
 
~
 
Sabine, you're up.
 
Sabine, I really like the design of the top of your dress, but the bottom... eh, not so much. I think that if you would have gone simpler on the skirt, this design would've been so much more elegant and fit for a pageant.
 
~
 
And lastly, we have Gabriella.
 
Gabriella, I really like the concept of your design, I just wish you would have stepped out of your comfort zone and tried something different and unique in your design. I have seen your earlier work, and this dress just didn't deem to measure up to any of your previous designs.
 
+
 
You've received your critiques, and now it's time to see who will be staying, and who will be going home.
 
First of all, the winner of this elimination challenge is... Tiffany! Congratulations! You can go relax in the studio, job well done.
 
Inka, CeCe, and Livia, please step forward.
 
Congratulations. You made some very fabulous designs this week. You may go to the studio and relax with Tiffany.
 
The remaining three, please step forward.
 
You three created the lowest-scoring designs.
 
I'm sorry, Gabriella, but it's time for you to pack your bags.. and go home.
 
+
 
Thank you Alyssa, for being with us this week.
 
Now, onto Round Four.
 
This round, you will be focusing on the materials. Each of you will be assigned a material or pattern that you must work with. The challenge this week is making two different items act in one design that is cohesive. The design can be any item(s) of clothing with any theme, as long as you use your required items.

Welcome, ladies, to your second judging. We've seen your designs, and now it's time to receive your critiques. By the end of tonight, one of you will no longer be here.
 
This week, you all took a trip to the snow-laden city of New York! While you were there, you all designed a piece that was functional for city winters, and also very fashionable. All eight of you did an outstanding job on your designs, but one of you fell a bit short.
 
~
 
First, we would like to see Inka.
 
Inka, the judges really liked your design and how unique it was. the leopard and the jacket really work well together, and compliment each other. We would've liked to see a little bit more of the city's elements put it into it, but you're definitely on the right track, and your piece is well done.
 
~
 
Next, we would like to see Livia.
 
Livia, we were extremely impressed by the design you gave us. The tribal print mixed with the chic fur and knit work are a great pair. We also liked the shape and how you you pulled inspiration from New York street fashion. We have no complaints about your design, and you should be very proud of your hard work.
 
~
 
Chloe D., you're up next.
 
Chloe, this week we were disappointed your piece.The judges wish you would've stepped out of your comfort zone and tried to take a risk. We liked the colors and different use of textures, but the originality is not what we expected from you this week.
 
~
 
Next up is Gabriella.
 
Gabriella, we really enjoyed seeing your piece down the runway this week. Unfortunately, we wish you would have also taken some more risks and tried to think outside the box. Even with that, we still appreciate the time you put into the jacket and fur detail.
 
~
 
Next up is CeCe.
 
CeCe, we loved your design! It was really well put together and the fur sleeves are super chic. But, like Inka's, we would've have appreciated a little bit more " city" feel. Still, this design is very creative and perfect for the winter months.
 
~
 
Next is Tiffany.
 
Tiffany, we really loved the upper-east-side taste of your piece. The belted jacket and skirt are a great pair, and you pulled it off. We would really like to see you try something different, though. Your designs are all around a reoccurring theme, so try something different in the future.
 
~
 
Now we would like to see Sabine.
 
Sabine, your design is absolutely flawless. The knit work and wide leg pants are both very trendy elements, and we love the effort you put in! This design is just plain fabulous. Well done!
 
~
 
Last up is Arielle.
 
Hi Arielle. We really love the uniqueness of your piece. It's somewhat glamorous and vintage, with the glitter and floral layers, but also underground and slightly grungy with the over sized coat and hood. We also like the really interesting pattern on the pants that matches the accessories. This is a very nice piece.
 
+
 
The judges have deliberated, and we have made a decision.
 
Arielle, Inka, Livia, CeCe, Tiffany, and Sabine. Please step forward.
 
You are safe. Please go to the studio and relax. You've earned it.
 
Gabriella and Chloe. You two did not work to your potential this week, and unfortunately, one of you will be leaving us tonight.
 
Chloe, please return to the apartment and pack your belongings. You are no longer in the running.
 
+
 
...
 
+
 
ROUND THREE.
 
Congratulations, you are all in the top seven!
 
This week, you will be designing for a special guest. Her name is Alyssa Campanella, Miss California 2011. You will all be designing a breathtaking gown for her next pageant. Of course, you can't just design any gown you want. Alyssa has specific preferences, and she will be this week's guest judge.
 
Alyssa's requests include:
- A gown that shows off her figure.
- A gown that is not too juvenile.
- A gown that compliments her fair skin and long red hair.
 
You all have one week.
One person will be eliminated.
There are no required items.
 
Plus, the winner's gown will be worn by Alyssa at her upcoming pageant!
