mononoke-tachi dake mononoke-tachi dake http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/mononoke/mononoke.htmMae slowly walked onto the stage. A bit shy but doing her best to hide it. She stood with her arms at her sides and her back straight. Her shoulders were straight and her head held high. She steadily walked up the stage, gaining confidence with each step. She looked straight, as a model should, and and did her turns and poses for all pictures. Her Kimono was a deep purple with silk orchids sewn on for a 3-d effect. In her hair she wore a band of real wild orchids and her favortie Bao. The locket she had won at the boardwalk in her town was about her neck and she had bought special new earrings for the show. Her partition socks had tiny silk orchids sewn on the outside near her ankle. She carried an oriental fan with a picture of a princess gathering orchids for her love. Mae had temporarily dyed her hair yellow to contrast the purple. She knew her color wheel and used it to the fullest. Anything gold or yellow was to go against and enhance the beauty of her favorite flower, the orchid. With a shining smile on her face she reached the end of the stage did a flashy spinning turn that let her kimono flow about her. She stopped facing forward and put her hand straight out and showed all a peace sign. Finally, Mae smiled even brighter and winked at the crowd. As she walked back to the curtain, she smiled for pictures and did a few more turns. Before she ducked backstage she turned to the crowd and saluted them with another bright smile. Then she disappeared. (Sorry I didn't post this before but i had to get off...) Yipee first post!

Theme Song: "Skellig" by Loreena McKennitt
Rachel stepped onto the stage - mostly at the behest of her irritating brother - to enter the kimono fashion show. Normally she'd never do such a thing, but Joseph could be incredibly persuasive in his own irritating way. Rachel's ensemble was put together to resemble old Japanese ghost stories. She was going for the look of the wandering spirit of a bride looking for her beloved husband. Keeping with this theme, her kimono featured both a sad but beautiful autumn leaf pattern, and also many accents designed to evoke a wispy, mysterious, spiritual feel.
The kimono itself was orangish-brown in color, with various leaf and branch patterns intertwined and running up the right side of the garment, accented with soft autumn shades. She thought this would work well with her intended theme, since autumn is traditionally thought of as the season associated with nearing death in the life cycle of a person. Also, the ghostly accents to the kimono were meant to evoke a haunting feeling in the audience members watching. The various veils Rachel had sewn onto the kimono blew gently in the wind as she walked onto the stage, riding the breeze ever so softly and reminding one of the quiet winds that blow when a ghost is thought to reside in an area, and the triangular paper headband strapped around her forehead was in keeping with old Japanese ghost legends.
For her part, Rachel completed the picture by acting the part herself. As she quietly made her way onto the stage with short, measured steps, she kept her eyes closed and head bowed. When she got to the middle of the stage where the judging would take place, she silently folded her hands into a praying gesture, simply standing there for several moments with her head still bowed, while her veils cascaded gracefully around her as the breeze blew them back and forth. At one point, the breeze managed to catch the cloth blindfold she was wearing over her eyes, sending it flying through the air. Rachel used this opportunity to slowly raise her head and look up at the audience, revealing a sorrowful looking pair of deep green eyes. Once the judges told her to move on, she paused for a moment, giving an ever so slight nod to the audience before quietly walking off the other side of the stage.

Annie squealled around the change room. "Nyahhh!" Is all she could say as she looked at her sophisticated design on her kimono. It was orange, to match with her hair. She didn't like it. "No, no no no no! I don't like this..This un-me like thing!" She said as she hopped back into the changing room and threw on some things. "Maybe...Sheik wouldn't mind if I whent threw some of her things.." She said with a devilish smirk, going threw Sheik's side of the closet. "Alright..alright..." She paused as she came to a green kimono, about her size. And where did Sheik get this?! She studied the design. It was beautiful, with a silver lining across the boarder, with a silver white flower blooming up to the chest area.
"I like it! But..It wont go with my hair!" She pouted for a second, untill she whent to a 2005 Groovy Chick special edition magazine. She flipped threw the pages quickly. Annie came to a stop. "..Dye my hair?!? But do you know how much that will effect me?!..." She squeeled to herself. But.. this is for the competition... She sighed and whent to the bathroom for half an hour, pulling out hair dye from the cubbord. As she came out with what used to be blonde, but now a turquise blue colored hair. "Well, it ain't so bad. It just better be washout-able." She mumbled to herself as she put on the kimono. "Ahh..This is just so perfect! But I need more!" She said to herself as she whent to her accesories table. "Maybe some Toe socks would do..Oh, and some matching wooden sandles! And maybe Bao..And a matching coat!" She said as things started coming into her head.
"I will look so great!" She squeaked to herself, getting abit over over confident. She looked at her earing set and squeaked. "Oh, My, God. These earings are a Must Wear! I'm sure Sheik wouldn't mind..." She said as she grabbed the red, heart shaped earings and put them on, dangling them on her ears. "They so go with my hair." She said, brushing the long turquise blue hair into a fashionable japanese terra twist. "So sexy." Annie was getting really excited, "Well, now that I'm a temporary ..blue head I guess...I might as well act like them." She said picking up the magazine. "..Sexy and sophisticated." She mumbled, quoting the magazine. "I could be that." She said with ease. She gave a sexy pout to the mirror. "Sexy...sophisticated.. Yeah I got that." She said assuring to herself.
Annie looked to her side and looked to her side to see her teddy. "Aww..Snowie, I know you want to come, but you can't! ..But...your color is perfect! It would go soo good with my outfit! I'll be like the adorible kid next door!" She squealled out at the delight of being able to take her plushie with her. "And maybe some doll ears, 'Cause I feel like 'em. And they would also go good with my outfit. Along with my fake angel microphone wings set! Yes..The ones I got for my 7th birthday!" She smiled as she whent to her closet and whent threw her old things. "Found you!" She pulled out the things, "Just a bit dusting and that'll be all." She said with a smile. "I hope this will be good, 'cause I think I look great." She said, continuing with her smile. "I'll try my best!" Annie exited the changing area and looked threw the curtains. "Wow..The place is packed!" She whispered to herself and looked at her outfit once more. "I hope it looks good." She said putting on another smile for the confidence. "The place is beautiful, so I shouldn't fit in negitive thoughts here." She said with a proud face.

Kimono Pirate- Captain Da-xia.
Worn By Spooks.
Item List:Theme Song: Jack Sparrow - Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Mans Chest. Lyrics: none, instrumental piece. Description: A usually brown haired blue eyed Russian girl peeked out from behind the show curtain watching as another beautifully dressed girl paraded her Kimono. Dewei was dead! Spooks was a tall slender Russian girl who was adopted sister to Dewei, and as usual they had playfully joked, then argued then Dewei had dared her to take part in the show saying she wouldnt pull it off.
Although Spooks was arguably stubborn she was beginning to agree with him. So far the outfits had been traditional in at least some ways, hers was lets say a little well nontraditional. She adjusted her purple contact lenses and sighed as she looked at her now black hair. Even her empathy abilities could not calm her nerves and she was getting even more nervous every time she inspected her outfit. Finally twirling a strand of hair she mumbled.
"This dye had better wash out Dewei..."
She was cut short in her rant as someone signalled for her to check her outfit and get ready to go on stage. She nodded meekly and walked over to a full length mirror hidden form view but near enough to the stage entrance, on which she would be walking on in mere seconds.
Her new reflection peered at herself as she adjusted her purposefully lopsided pirate hat in which was set and incredibly detailed pearl 'jolly Rodger' which she had carved herself; with the help of Dewei. Her pale slender hand reached up and flicked down the edge of her eye patch so it now covered her eye right eye. She could imgine the people sneering. After all this was a Kimono Fashion show, she was dressed like a pirate.
She turned on her heel sharply running over to a coat stand, her purple flat sandal like shoes clopping as they slipped on and off her heel. She reached up high and grabbed the collar of a long purple looking coat, it was thick, deep and had gold embroidery. Upon closer inspection it had gold tasseled shoulder pads and delicatly embroidered matching cuffs all in gold; it also had hemmed black details and sliver buttons, making the hole outfit sparkle in a dull way.
Spooks quickly ran back to the mirror in the same loud yet noiseless way, she had to make every last second count; if she wanted to win and prove to Dewei that she wasn't some stupid Russian girl who couldn't look Japanese if her life depended on it! She hung the coat on the side of the mirror, delicately as if even the little speck of dust would damage its perfectness; which she had spent hours embroidering. She sighed and knelt down checking her black stockings for ladders, everything had to perfect nothing could go wrong this way.
Standing up she straighted every last unintentioned crease in her lovely purple kimono. She had searched far and wide to find a kimono as delicate but as modern as this. Admittedly she had to ask Dewei for help, but that was beside the point. The second her eyes had set upon this kimono she knew it had to be hers; she loved every detail down the the finally embroidered orchids around the bottom, each one a different shade of gold or orange catching the light in such ways it was entrancing. Even the purple amethyst jewelry could not distract the eyes from its glory.
She tore her eyes away from the purple reflection of the kimono and she tightly pulled on the bow at the back of her gold obi, this had been an easy find. A plain gold obi was something that was pretty in a simple way, she was trying not to over complicate her outfit, which was already strange. besides the obi did not have to be entrancing the kimono did that for it, and the Coat covered most of obi. Thinking about her coat enticed her to place it on, delicately making sure the kimono sleeves sat inside properly, so is it did not make the coat look weird.
Taking a calming breath as the last contestants music began to finish, she picked up a small blue plushie parrot that had been hidden in one of the deep coats pockets. She easily clipped it to the right gold shoulder pad, for this was how she had designed the coat to be. The plush parrot was small and sweet, but it was an uncanny blue with button eyes making it stand out surprisingly well.
Listening as the crowd clapped she ran over to the stairs, her heart now pounding in the region somewhere near her throat. She grabbed her props form the prop shelf and began to breath erratically, only a few more seconds. Deciding to distract her mind she fiddled with the label on her purple glass 'rum' bottle; of course it had merely been a pop bottle, but she created a new label for it saying something about pirate rum, not that anyone would be looking that closely.
The applause stopped and her music began to play, she waited a second as her hands grew sweaty and the grip on her false shiny bladed sword began to slip, this was way scarier than any battle. It was even scarier than hearing Dewei sing! Taking and appreciating the last few seconds of her pause she stepped onto stage, and so her parade began...

Yuki walked onto the stage in slowly, moving in a fluid motion, and trying desperately to hide her fear of being up in front of so many people. Her wooden sandals somehow made no sound at all against the ground as she moved around silently. She kept her head bowed slightly, silver bangs hiding her face effectively as icy blue eyes glowed faintly from the gloom her hair cast. Her very pale hands were clasped neatly before herself, but she slowly pulled them apart and held them at her sides as she slowed to a halt for the judges to see her kimono. She wasn't sure why she was doing this... It was probably just another thing she was forcing herself to do to try getting over her strange fear of, well, everything. She'd never done anything even close to this. At least, not that she remembered.
Yuki's kimono is one that she made herself, starting with one she had gotten from her mother. It is also the only thing her mother left behind. It orginally was a dark blue material with silvery white trim. Starting just below her shoulders on each sleeve is a dappled pattern of small silver flowers, linked by entricate silver vines. The flowers thicken and enlargen the further down the sleeve they reach until, at the end of the sleeves, they fade out into entirely silvery white due to how large and close together they come. When her arms are placed by her sides, as they are now, the sleeves come down to cover all except for the very tips of her fingers. But, Yuki added on some extra almost transparent lace of a very light, almost silvery blue color, which easily hide her hands completely from view. This lace is blunched together to form ruffles.
On the chest, more towards her heart, is a larger silver flower, exploding in full bloom with streaks of gold spread throughout the petals. The bottom of it is partially covered by a red ribbon that wraps around her waist, covering the bottom of her breasts to the tops of her hips. It ties in a very large bow at her back, which is also pattered with the silver flowers, but also has an equal amount of gold flowers that are mixed in as well, and all are linked by vines varying between silver and gold. The closer you come to the ends of the bow, the lighter the red becomes, until it eventually fades into white as well when you reach the tips. These tips are crumpled together slightly to make ruffles and fall nearly to the ground. The corners of the bow is where the vine and flower pattern becomes the thickest, a solid wall of silver and gold speckled together.
There is a small hole cut in the back for her tails to escape through, though it's not very noticable. First, the three silver fox tails that she had appear just for this occassion effectively hide it, as they all flick around in never ceasing motion. The detailed silver vine pattern loops and dances its way across the fabric to distract the eye from the hole as well, and moves all along her back and down the entire bottom half of the kimono, where it finally fades out into white like with the sleeves and bow. At the very bottom, in the part that has faded into white, is a small fox on the left side done in a dark blue color. It's sitting up, with three tails wrapped neatly around it. It was added by Yuki and is a picture of her in her full fox form.
The entire thing comes down to her ankles, fitting rather snugly and not providing too much room for movement, which is definitely not what Yuki usually likes. Rather than her regular boots, she wears wooden sandles with dark blue straps, to match the kimono, that hold them on her feet, like those of flip-flops. She also has on socks, somewhere between silver and white in color, so none of her skin shows before the socks disappear beneath the kimono's end. She did cut small slits about a foot high, one in each side of the dress, and hid them with more of the ruffled pale blue lace like that on the sleeves so they wouldn't stand out too badly. Without them, she probably wouldn't have been able to move at all, or possibly would have resorted to waddling like a penguin. She didn't really want that though. She's already more than embarassed enough as it is to be wearing this outfit in public, much less in front of a crowd.
The final touch is a headpiece that rests at the base of her silver fox ear, on the right. She had the fox ears appear as well, though her regular pointed ones are still there as well. She's covered them with her waist length silver hair in an attempt to hide them. The headpiece is simply five dark blue flowers, spaced unevenly apart and of varying sizes, with a very thin golden wire holding them together and in place, made to look like another vine. It even has very tiny leaves spaced along, which are gold, so it matches the design on the kimono. A small part of the wire forms a loop that circles around her right fox ear to hold it in place, but this bit is silver to match her hair, and also hidden beneath her hair, so it is completely hidden from view. The largest of these silver flowers is three inches in diameter, and the smallest is only half an inch across.
Yuki raised her head slightly, revealing her face finally. It's as pale as her hands, with eyes that hold a look of fear and sorrow, and not a single trace of makeup. But she managed a weak smile and then bowed her head low as she was dismissed before walking slowly off the stage, all three silver tails flicking behind her and her hair draped around her like a shimmering, silver blanket. She slowly released the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding, it turning into a sigh at the end. Her left fox ear gave a small twitch as she bowed her head again. That wasn't so bad... she told herself, though her clawed hands were clutching the ends of her sleeves tightly. I told you! A voice replied in her head. I'm so proud of you! I didn't even have to take control to help! Yuki just nodded her head, still moving forward silently. She wanted to change, but supposed she should probably show Shinku first, since he'd been the one who'd mentioned the contest to her.

Outfit: Worn by Miyu Hakubi Outfit Items: Decorative Daisy Emerald Forehead Jewel Laurels Spring Green Kimono White Stockings Wooden Sandals Song Playing: Card Captor Sakura - Shunshou Jouka [ lyrics] Description: Miyu walked on stage in her kimono outfit. It was green with some yellow flowery decour upon it. She wore sandals to match with white stockings upon her feet. Her blonde hair was up in a pony with a daisy flower in it. Miyu's face bore makeup and a green jewel with a gold setting upon her forehead. Miyu walked across the stage, pausing and turning at the appropriate times. She showed off her simple outfit to the judges and ended (this very simple description) with a bow. She walked off the stage hoping for the best. ((I'm sorry, I'm just not that good at this. I hope my description suffices or at least won't be terribly counted against me!))

So Come my way
---------------
Holy crap! was all Sukai could think as she looked herself in the mirror. She had styled down her hair and allowed it to elegantly cover her eye as she slipped on her eye glasses. She might as well not try to act like a complete klutz so it was better to show up in glasses and not risk the fact that she'll have to walk across the stage and fall off or something. She then heard the song she had requested to play as her music start to come on and fill the stage.
Sukai quietly exited the area she was waiting in and slowly came up on stage tripping a little before she sent herself out to face the crowd of people that had sat attentively, looking at every detail of her kimono.
She sighed as she looked down at her neat kimono. It was a lovely blood red, a color she enjoyed next to black. She didn't want to be too extravagant when she decided to choose her kimono which she had redesigned once the festival had been announced. The kimono was dyed at the end of both the bottom of the kimono and the sleeves which was a black color that faded up into the red that everyone could see. She had taken time to silk screen the water lilies, dragonflies and curvaous, wispy lines on her kimono in gold creating a somewhat pond looking scene on her kimono. The sleeves were quiet long in the first place borderlining a little over a meter long.
She decided on a box styled black and gold obi with the pattern of a red lily on it, which she had one of her friends tie tightly onto her before the show had begun. On her feet were black tabi socks and red and black leather zori.
Fixing a detailed in red and gold, white kitsune mask onto her head with a pin she had taken a black cat plushie of hers that she adored and fastened it to the undergarment of the kimono. She had not been too sure about the katana that was currently fastened around her back though. Sukai could not find a tanto anywhere that she could use instead like the princesses once did. So opting for a black katana she had showed up.
She palms were sweating slightly as she held them clasped together infront of her as she walked gracefully in small steps forward, praying in her mind that she wouldn't trip up. Reaching the area close to the end of the stage she spread her arms out gently so the rest of the dress could be admired feeling the weight of the fabric almost drag her strong arms down.
Turning around a little so she would face the other direction she slowly brought her hands down to rest together again before she quietly walked off the stage. Finally walking out of the limelight she let out a soft sigh telling herself it was finally over. She wanted to just fall over but that wouldn't have been graceful in the first place and would have probably ripped her kimono in two.

Spring Green Kimono
White Stockings

Song:
A Public Affair - Jessica Simpson Lyrics
Description:
The Sakura tree's swayed around as ptela danced its way down to the ground, almost like a petal dance. The sky is very clear, like the ocean, and the clouds are like cotton candy; fluffballs. Upon the area came a small but rather lady-like figure. She had long thin lavender hair like a baby's and two greenish blueish Bao's in her hair. One on the left side of her head and the other one on the right. Decorated in her hair was a sweet pink circlet that kept some of her hair back. Though, clipped on the right side of her head is a very rare and delicate piece of jewelry. Its a one of a kind diamond daisy hair clip with a hope diamond placed in the middle. Ai got it when she was a child since her mom comes from a very large and wealthy family.
Gracefully, the wind blew by her long lavender hair and ruffled her spring green kimono. The kimono is made by Ai, the sash is made out of thick pure cotton, while the clothe of the rest of the kimono is egyption cotton. Though, its ot spring, Ai just thought it would lighten up, plus egyption cotton is very soft and delicate like a Sakura Flower. Her sandals clicked as Ai walked up to the stage for her turn. What does her sandals look like? They are a mellow yellow color with stiched stuffed angelic mini's on the side; almost like the sandals are flying. Swapping the yellow pink-rimmed fan to gather cool air to her nervous face; Ai let out a relieved sigh. Hopefully the rather hot weather won't wear our her make-up, her mother being so traditional, taught Ai how to place make-up on in giesha style; like a doll.
nmh! Just calm down! Take a few breathers and focus on a dream than the crowd she thought as she gulped. Gracefully sitting down on her knee's and letting her hands properly lay in the middle of her lap. Setting the fan on the ground, her soft lovely eyes stared at the crowd and the judge, but they looked clowded like she was dreaming about a lost dream. As the music filled the days air, Ai smiled sweetly trying to get that adorable look. Though, she's not sure if she's pulling it off, she doesn't have a mirror in front of her to know.
After the music was over, Ai slowly got back up on her two feet, but with grace like a ballerina. Slowly arching over for a bow, she sweetly said 'thank you' with a devine smile and straightened her back up. Leaving the stage, she carefully walked down the stairs so that she wouldn't trip on something. But having the bad luck, she tripped on her kimono, causing her to tumble down the stairs. Luckily, her kimono wasn't ripped or else she'll be screwed.
"Ahehe! I'm okay!" she said sweatdropping as she rubbed the back of her head. Pulling herself back up on her feet with an embaressed blush on her cheeks, she spread her fan open in front of her face so no one can see her blushing. After a few seconds, Ai was finally back into the crowd and decided to watch the rest of competition.

Entry Title: Gyrfalcon Angel Worn (And Performed) By: Rivencaira Capella'acqu Song: None  Rivera didn't plan out on how she was supposed to present herself to the others so much. Kai had told her to be herself. The sword he gave her was one that he forged himself as a present for her birthday the past June, before the Decadia. She took a deep breath. "Let's get this over with..." And with a soft step forward, she found herself setting foot upon the stage and all its glamour. The moment Rivera came into view, it was as if the world had frozen, and as if the world had been tinted in frost. Every sakura petal that fell seemed like it was encrusted in an invisible layer of crystalline ice, reflecting the blue sky that empasized the colors of her royal blue robes and her icy blue eyes. There were flowing designs of silvery serpentine dragons on her kimono, slithering up her arms and swishing about the hems and cuffs. They glittered with the silver stars she had sewn into the fabric with her own hands. Every silky inch of the deep indigo cloth matched her smooth movements like the water, slow, yet powerful. It was a strange kimono, however... it wasn't quite so tightly wrapped as other kimonos because of two long slits down the sides, reaching up to her thighs. Feathery, petal like ruffles of gossamer shimmered in faint silver lights through those slits, trailing against her with an aromatic scent only roses can give off. The sash was wrapped tightly around her midriff, made of a cloth so smooth it looked like pure, liquid silver, molded around her sleek form. The ends of the sash was tied in a simple, traditional butterfly knot, with two long strips trailing down behind her in a cascade of moonbeams. Rivera's face was full of determination. There was no need for her to wear make up. Ugly women wore make up. She wanted her natural beauty to show through... if she had any. The paleness of her skin made her look like a porcelain doll. Her figure was flexible and graceful while still maintaining an icy quality, but in her eyes, one saw only eternity... an eternity and a forever of nothing but emptiness. Her movements reflected the goddess of the storm, but her garments revealed her to be a child sent by ice. The crystal headdress she wore were laced by feathers of pure white. Her wings of steel glittered with each, razor sharp, silver feather, the exact same steel blue as her katana... sharp and brilliant as the luster of platinum iridium and mercurious quicksilver. She continued to step forward, her each and every step a new impact of tension across the display stage. Rivera's necklace and bracelets glittered like stars. The necklace held Kira's aura, a constant reminder that he would be behind her at all times. She felt this support and leant on it without hesitation. The very thought gave her frozen face an icy smile. Dark and chaotic aura shifted around her now, forming patterns of devilish symbols... a black halo hovering above her like a cloud of forboding... and a dark tail that swished like a snake... WAS a snake. The end was not an arrow-like point, but the head of a raven black serpent, ghastly in appearance but for all anyone cared, as vivid as it was real. Dark mists gathered about her as she reached for her chaotic energy through her mind, grabbing strand by strand with power until the tension in the vicinity grew to nearly a breaking point. For that moment, everything stopped... Wind, Light, Time, Space... nothing seemed to move... The crystal-like luster of her eyes glowed with an unusually bright light. Her figure stood, an unmoving pillar of ice... frozen with the world until her blade broke the tension. Rivera's sword rose to above her head, a vertical palisade of ultimate decree. Sunlight glinted from it like a ray from heaven, forming a myriad of colors in a ring around her. The stillness of the sword wavered, slowly at first, but then quickly as it slid down in a graceful sweep, diagonally across the vision of her audience. There was a blinding silvery light with patterns of blue butterflies and white sakura imprints, followed by a storm of pure white feathers. Her steel wings had vanished, to be replaced by the feathered gale. Her entire kimono blanched to pure white. All dark aural energy around her faded to white mist and a glittering dusting of fresh confetti that was actually a puff of snow crystals. Rivera smiled, now looking like an angel, the paleness of her skin clashing perfectly with her now pure white and feathered robes. The contrast before had made her feel nervous... now she knew she could hide if she needed to. Rivera sheathed her katana into the scabbard at her waist. The moment the hiltguard clicked with the sheath, a whirlwind of feathery, white, downy plumage swept around her feet... and she seemed to vanish, leaving the feathered illusion to fade away... and leaving the stage in perfect condition. It was as if she were never there... But she was. There was a single foot long flight feather to prove it, hovering gently to the judge's face in its graceful descent. ----------------- Smiling a little, Rivera turned her back to the stage in a section of the woods. Her illusions were much better now that she practiced with them... Silently as a floating feather, the Gyrfalcon spread her winged robes and glided back to the picnic grounds on windtreading feet.

Royal KimonoSong: "Life" by Yui Horie (Bleach 5th Ending) LyricsHedoro strolled through the festival, taking the time to look at all the attractions. She'd managed to see just about everything when she came across something she hadn't noticed before. It seems there was what would basically be a beauty show, although with a definite theme. Everyone was wearing kimonos. She kind of felt jealous of them, everyone else got to have fun and participate in fun events like that, but she didn't dare. Just then, she heard one of the booth vendors calling out to passersby, proclaiming they had masks for sale. This gave Hedoro an idea. She moved closer to the stand and looked over the masks, finally selecting a vulpine designed one. Paying the vendor, she picked it up and affixed it to the side of her head, until she actually changed there was no need to put it over her face. Now that her little problem was solved, she returned to the kimono area and registered. Putting down her name, she went into the dressing area to change. She had a kimono in her satchel of disguises, she didn't wear it too often because sometimes a kimono was a fairly big attention grabber. But at an activity like this, it would look perfectly in place. So she took the kimono out of her bag, and spread it out, smoothing out the fold-lines that it had acquired during it's stay in her bag. Then came the fairly extensive process of removing her current disguise. Various pieces of clothing and accessories were set to the ground one after the other. By the end they amassed a considerable pile. Stretching her substance slightly, enjoying the freedom of movement, she got dressed for the event. Slipping the layers of thin cloth on, she left the kimono untied as she pulled on the other parts of her ensemble. Sandals and socks, long elegant gloves, and of course, the mask. It would hide her face, so she could move out among the people safely. Then she tied her kimono on, wrapping the sash snugly around her waist and tying it into a neat bow. Sliding it around to her back, everything was just about ready. The last step was another sash, this time hung about her shoulders, to help hide her neck. Finally, she was ready. She had been given the option of some music being played when she went out to show off, and she had selected a song that she'd always been rather fond of. As the opening strains began, she strode boldly out onto the stage. Hearing the music helped steel her resolve, and she stepped further out onto the stage. The late afternoon light was just starting to turn orangish-red, casting long shadows and making the blue of her kimono even darker. The intricately embroidered lily patterns shone golden on the dark cloth, almost appearing to dance under the flickering shadows. Her supplemental sash wavered in the cool breeze, trailing out behind her like the faint tail of a comet. Her mask was positioned so that it's shadows only served to make it's presence even more noticeable, stark in contrast against the complementary colors she used for the rest of her outfit. Moving in small delicate steps, she continued upon her circuit on the stage. Her song was drawing to a close, so she started on her way back to leave the stage. With the gentle tapping sound of her sandals audible only to her, she moved to the curtain that served as the backdrop. Just before slipping behind it, she turned back partway, turning her head to stare back at the audience. If she'd not have been constrained by a mask, she would have thrown out an intense stare, but hopefully the shadowed fox mask would do the job just as well. Drawing her turn out dramatically, she slipped behind the curtain gracefully, letting it barely ripple as she passed through. The final strains of her song ended at the same moment, filling the empty stage with silence. Hedoro went back to change into her other clothes with a bit of a smile on her face, even though noone could see it behind the mask. It had been a lot of fun, she was glad she'd found a way to allow herself to participate. Untying the sash, Hedoro reversed the entire lengthy operation, removing her kimono and mask, along with everything else she wore. Then she pulled on her regular outfit once more, adjusting it carefully. Pulling her scarf into place, she set to work carefully folding her kimono up, setting it inside her bag along with all of her other disguise items. Shouldering her bag, she left, ready to return to her wandering.

Quinnette took a deep breath as she reached the dressing rooms. "I never thought I would ever find the dressing room."she mumbled to herself. Quinnette stepped into a dressing room and closed the door. As her finger touched the door, a tiny purple fire appeared at the tip of her finger. Wiping her fingers on her T-shirt, Quinnette gave a sigh. "I could have nearly burned the place down." She started to change.
Stepping out of the dressing room, she looked at herself in the mirror. As she gently placed a white daisy on her flower crown, she smiled. "Uhh..I have to take in some fresh air."she mumbled to herself nervously as she looked at the glaring moon.
She looked at her feet and then realised she forgotten to apply makeup. Quickly taking out her makeup box from her bag, she applied a light red blush and red lipstick. Her skin was pale enough. As the judges annouced her name, Quinnette peeked at the crowd and clutched her fan. Quinnette walked onto a stage, as the music started to play. Taking small steps, she smiled at the crowd and the judges. She raised her fan to her face, covering one of cheeks. Closing and reopening the fan, her smile went smaller, into a shy small smile as she lowered her fan to her chest and waved it slowly. She gracefully raised the fan towards her face again, waving it gently. As the music started to end, she smiled and spun around. Suddenly, she struck out her fan and turned sideways. "Just keep a straight face and bow. Turn around and take small steps to backstage."her consicene told herself. Her mouth striked a smile, and she bowed. Quinnette turned around, an applause she heard. Taking small steps, she entered backstage and gave a sigh. She removed her hair accessories, the rose and the fan into her bag and walked down the stage to watch the rest of the competition. Pushing back her fringe, she smiled.

The Feisty Angel
Worn/Performed by: Tiffany B. Savior
Song:
Stars Are Blind--Paris Hilton [ Lyrics]
Description:
"LaLaLaLaLa!!"
Tiffany cheerfully sang as she skipped her way to the huge fashion show. She was always a huge fan of fashion and wouldn't back down to any fashion show that ran her way. She looked around the scenery observing the elegant sway of the pastel pink cherry blossoms that pushed in the wind. The scene was so serene that Tiff almost forgot about the competition. Snapping out of her illusionary daze, Tiff rushed her way to the stage, hoping that she wouldn't miss the competition. Nearly tripping throughout her tedious jog, Tiff managed to make it to the stage without being late and without getting her kimono dirty.
Tiff took a deep breath as it was almost her turn to step out on stage. She was filled with excitement and great vigor. Finally, it was Tiff's turn to blow the crowd away. Tiff smiled and couragously strutted herself onto the stage. When Tiff reached the middle of the stage, she slowly turned herself to the audience and gave each one of them a cheerfull smile.
Tiff's kimono was colored a bright and elegant fire truck red. Her fiery kimono matched that of her feisty look in her eyes, giving it a more intense, but settle look. Golden yellow designs swirled across Tiff's kimono. The amazing design managed to match that of her golden bright hair. The Kimono reached all the way down to her ankles only exposing her dainty feet. Around her waist and upper body, Tiff wore a nightsky black obi (I think that's what it is called). The obi was tight around Tiff's waste, and was decorated with golden yellow silk rope to add in accessories. The top of her kimono was tight and fully covered Tiff's boobs, making them seem smaller then what they really were. The sleeves of her kimono were long and danced with the wind. Underneath her sleeves Tiff wore long silky white fabric that brightened the kimono up. She also wore golden bracelets on both her arms, and a beautiful gem was placed in the middle of the bracelet. Whenever the gem hit sunlight a magnificant ray of light would shine upon the world. To contrast with the white silky fabric, Tiff wore wooden sandels with a white strap to hold her feet and sandel together. Attached to her ankles, were golden leg bracelets with mini angelic wings attached to it. It was almost as if she was the ancient Greek messenger.
Around her neck lay a nice golden necklace similar to that of her gold bracelets. The gem was also the same as the bracelets and shined a holy light as well. Tiff's hair was up in a dirty bun, and to help hold up her golden hair was a silky red ribbon that matched that of her lipstick kimono. On the sides of her head Tiff wore her favorite bani clips that she hadn't worn since she was a Sophomore. The hairclips would give Tiff a more cute and playfull side to her. Around her head Tiff wore a pastel pink circlet that matched that of her sugary hyper eyes. Two white pearl earings slept on Tiff's ears contrasting with the other white apperals she had. Last, but not least, Tiff brought on stage a white and golden embordered (sp?) parasol. She thought the parasol would help match her accessories and give off a final bam to astonish the audience.
With an elegant balarina twirl, Tiff smiled once more to the audience and started to leave the stage once her song started to fade away. On her way out she stumbled a bit, but didn't let that embarrass Tiff. She merely gave out a cheesy smile and took big strides off the stage. once out of sight, Tiff just giggled a bit and started to daydream in Tiffany land.

Items-
Royal Kimono
Wooden Sandals
Cream Scott Socks
Maid Colar Necklace
#FFFFFF Complex Band
Parisian Blue Fan
Angelbow
Song- "Passion" Utada Hikaru (Story Never Ending Version)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sora sat patiently behind the stage in which the Kimono's were being shown off, girls going by one by one as she ran her fingers through her silky black hair. She saw that it was her turn to go on next, not many people left to go. She wasn't real competition to anyone, and she wasn't aiming to be. She wasn't aiming to win, either. A simple, deep blue kimono with golden flowers embroidered carefully on it. As she was ready to go up onto the stage, the D.J. tapped her shoulder lightly, asking her what song she wanted to have played. Sora thought about this for a few seconds, then cupping her hands over her mouth and whispering the song in the D.J.'s ear. They nodded and Sora walked up onto the stage, her heart pounding as she picked up a bit of her Kimono so she wouldn't trip.
She made her way upstage, her bow slung behind her back, having forgotten to leave it behind the stage. She gripped her fan tightly, a wild blush on her face. She opened her blue fan, hiding everything below her eyes. She took in a deep breath and tried to imagine something pleasant, like her two daughters. She could almost feel a hug as the wind blew slowly, pink petals dancing slowly. Her emerald eyes were filled with happiness, and she slowly moved her fan away from her face, no longer wanting to hide. She decided that she was going to be strong, even if it did mean that she would be embarassed.
She didn't like wearing makeup, so naturally, she kept it off. When she didn't put it on, she felt better about herself, not ashamed of who she was, not wanting to change anything about her facial features. Though she would change her height, seeing how short she was. Sora took in yet another deep breath, though through her nose, the sweet scent of flowers running through the air. Giving a lady-like bow, she smiled warmly, walking slowly off the stage. She did what she wanted and she had fun, getting lost in a daydream of her own as she quietly went into the crowd and watched the few people left.
