BJD--L.A. Dolpa Photos--Customization Contest
CUSTOMIZATION CONTEST--Movie/Hollywood theme.
This is basically a costume contest for the owner-dolls... They are dressed up in costumes from a movie/film (for this contest) and one winner is chosen by popular vote, the others are chosen by various judges for various reasons. We don't actually know the categories beforehand. And there are no rules, really, you can enter what you want, although they asked that we limit our display to around 18"x18"x36" due to space considerations--I think...
There were fewer entrants than expected, but they were nicely done, I thought! And amazingly--not any multiples for one film or character!
I chose the film "Stardust" because it was fantasy and fairly recent, and I already had a blue Victorian gown that was similar to that in the film... I had to alter it slightly to make it more like the film--mostly putting a certain kind of sleeve on it. And I put together the diamond necklace she's wearing, also from the film. I just had to find a blond wig for my Cyndy2 and she was good. For my Shiro, the outfit was more problematic... I can't really tailor a jacket, so I commissioned ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
wickedstitchery to make the frock coat, waist-coat and trousers from the film. Wig was ordered from Leeke--and it arrived just in time. Boots and shirt are from Dollheart.--
Oh, and that's wolfemeister's little Sherlock Holmes at the left, partially cut off... 'Didn't get a clearer photo of him...
My horrible memory... I think this Louis XIV outfit is by crybabymommie--
I think these lovely girls are from "Dangerous Liasons"--
One of the winners--I couldn't get a good photo!--was Alia from "Dune"--with blue lit-up eyes! I think the winner got a Sei-Tenshi...
Gorgeous dress by PamSD from "Gone with the Wind"--
One of the winners--it had audio of the music playing!--from "Deliverance"--
hotmarscube's Trinity from "The Matrix" on the left--
From "Rose of Versailles" --
winter_elf's group from "Kill Bill"--
One of the winners--I think the popular vote--"Godzilla"--a cute costume... front view didn't turn out in my photos, but the tail really is amazing!
From "Cleopatra"--I actually considered this film, 'glad I didn't do it--they did a great job--
Ailene's winner (a Sei-Tenshi) from "The Addams Family"--
From "The Ring"--
Bad photo of doll_paparazzi's Yukinojo--
"Pricilla, Queen of the Desert"--love the glittery makeup and the big feathers!--
"The French Lieutenant's Woman"--this reproduces the shot on the movie poster nicely--
From "Harry Potter"--there was another entrant, a Hermione, I think but didn't get a good photo--
"V for Vendetta"--won for best Science Fiction, I think--
From "Sirens"
Not sure what film, but gorgeous dress!
"Van Helsing"
"A Fistful of Dollars" Cool Clint!--
Not sure about the awards or categories... I know there was a best SF for the "V" and "Dune" may have been the President's award? One was the Popular Choice--"Godzilla"... I think Valico or one of the faceup artists gave one of the awards... Anyway--nice prizes! And all the entrants did a great job...
