This contest belongs in beauty.



Think you have what it takes to be 'picture perfect', well test your luck in this four-round competition. Picture perfect is all about expressing yourself in a beautiful unique way for the cameras. This contest includes advertisements, random photoshoots, and lots more. Some rounds even require you to merely pose while the editing will be taken care of. So what are you waiting for? It's not just a beautiful face that makes a picture perfect. It's the pose and the unique way everyone has of making their own perfect picture.
Care to show yours?

5. I will be editing some of your photos in particular rounds. Hope you don't mind.
6. Only adult/young adult females please
7. All sizes/skin colour welcomed
8. There are four rounds. Each round lasts for about five days.

Yay! Alright, hope to see some applicants!
Any questions, feel free to ask!

Some FAQs :

1. How many pictures per round : 1 -2 pictures. 2 max.
2. How are the rounds like : They differ from various types of photoshoots. They aren't always ads and photoshoots.
3. How are we judged : You are judged by the creativity of your pose and of course, how you present your photo.
4. Can I only use hacks : Of course, but it will be more creative if you made poses by playing around with the hacks. =) But of course, hacks are allowed
5. What is simpose? Here's the website and here is a tutorial , just so you see how 'difficult' it is the first time xD.
6. What is frankestining : It is adding bits from sim bodies, from various photos with different poses, then joining all of them to form your own creative pose.

Genovicka Tigerino Application
Name : Genovicka Tigerino
Country : Originally Brazil, now USA.
Age : 19
Redeeming qualities in yourself : I am original and not a cookie-cutter beauty like a lot of other girls. My nose is slightly larger than most, but it's something that gives me the original look that I love.
Why are you picture perfect? : I am picture perfect because I know that sometimes you MUST think outside of the box. Originality is my best friend and I embrace it.

Headshot (I know it wasn't required but I thought I'd throw it in because the picture limit is 2.)


Bodyshot (I can change it if it came out too bright, just let me know.)


This sim was made in memory of one of my best friends, Genovicka. She passed away during child birth on November 20, 2008. RIP.

Ladybugz, oh sorry. 2 pics? Okay then, I'd count it as a freeshot =)
I must say Genovicka is gorgeous!
I'm so sorry about your friend, especially during childbirth. I'm very, very sorry.
Thanks for Applying.
#13 Old 27th Nov 2008 at 4:12 PM

Emma, looks like another great contest of yours! I would join, but I am in another contest over at InSim and not sure what frankenstining is. Also, don't use simpose. I use other hacks, not just decorgals which I personally like that hack also. So I would lose points for all these reasons. Good luck everyone she runs a wonderful and fun contest!
#19 Old 27th Nov 2008 at 8:23 PM
Charley, frankinstining is simply taking multiple pics of a sim and photoshopping the poses together. I find it VERY difficult! lol Another example is taking a picture of a sim, and a picture of a real-life person and morphing it together.

Like this one I made:
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=autr89&s=4

Or like my avatar. :D

SimPose is a way to move you sims in any pose by extracting meshes and textures.

More info on SimPose HERE

I find Simpose hard also, so I am using hacks too.

I'd really like to enter this contest. I'm hosting a contest of my own at the moment, but who says I can't juggle two acts? I won't really be "here" until sometime this weekend though, due to my schedule. Hopefully I can carry out my wishes and enter after all :D

moldova49 - Chantelle is gorgeous! Thanks for entering!

xxcali_canelaxx - I can't wait for you app. Hope to see you enter! =]

simcharley1990 - yeah, you can stick to your hacks =] Frankestining is where you take parts from the poses and put them together in Photoshop. Simpose, is a program which allows you to make sim poses by twisting the arms, legs, etc..

Michele D - Oh alright. I just put simpose as an option because some people might not have their game running. and thank you :D

Moldova_ thanks for explaining but the photo you made is called 'Simmerizing' - where you put pats of sims into human. Yes, simpose is hard at first.

simcharley1990 - Of course you can still enter. Hacks will be good enough. I used to use tons of hacks too and I'm sure you're creative in your own way when you make your photo. Hopefully, I'll see your app =]

Spicycookies- I think you have enough time to enter =) I really do hope to see your app.

EDIT : As an example, this is frankestining, this is simpose, and this is simmerizing.
