| 私は原宿が好き (Watashi wa Harajuku ga suki) "I Love Harajuku"Yes that is right dear contestants, this week you are going to tackle Harajuku. What is Harajuku you ask, well let Wikipedia explain it for you: Harajuku (原宿 "meadow lodging") is the common name for the area around Harajuku Station on the Yamanote Line in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo, Japan. Every Sunday, young people dressed in a variety of styles including gothic lolita, visual kei, and decora, as well as cosplayers spend the day in Harajuku socializing. The fashion styles of these youths rarely conform to one particular style and are usually a mesh of many. Yes mesh of MANY. Infact, here is a list of the styles common amongst these kids: Harajuku Girls: This fashion infuses multiple looks and styles to create a unique form of dress. The cyber-punk look takes its influence from gothic fashion and incorporates neon and metallic colors. Punk style in Harajuku is more of a fashion than a statement. Its fashion mainly consists of dark colors, plaid, chains, and zippers. Punk style is also one of the more gender-neutral fashions in Harajuku. Ganguro is a style that symbolizes the average American teenager. The term translates to ‘black-faced’. The basic look is what Westerners would call a ‘California girl’, with bleached hair, dark skin, fake eyelashes and nails. Now ain't that some variety for you eh! Here is what we want you guys to do:
- Create a NEW sim with Japanese/Asian features. - Your sim MUST be dressed in one of the above themes. Their style has to live and breathe Harajuku! - 3 shots are required as usual: CAS shot, in game head shot and in game body shot. To show you what you can do with this theme, cause it is VERY broad. Eva has created her own Harajuku simmeh: Also, I have gone off and found some CC for you all: So you have chosen LolitaCosplay FTWSuper KawaiiImportant: Eva, Q and myself have redefined the juding areas and have added a new category that will judge you specifically on whether you have met the challenges requirements or not. I will go more into detail when I post the scores next week. You have until Sunday, 27th of March at 23:55hrs (11:55pm) PST (here) to submit your entry!Again, NO elimination this round. Heads up however, as eliminations begin VERY soon.Best of luck everyone and remember if you encounter any problems with submitting on time, do not hesitate to contact either myself or Eva via PM.
For questions regarding this weeks challenge, post your queries in this thread and either myself or Eva will answer ASAP.Post your submissions in this same thread please.In view of this weeks challenge, please help our fellow simmers and those affected by the earthquake and tsunami:

| Caradella dear, do not forget your CAS shot! Sergio, I don't care where your simmeh is from as long as she looks Asian Besides, it's hard to say that certain characteristics are specifically Japanese. My Mum is Lao and she looks Filipino Brian, I am totally with you on your love of Thailand. My Mum as I mentioned to Sergio is Lao/Laotian (People from Laos, call themselves Lao even though that is the name of the language we speak as well), which is literally right next door. Takes 5 mins to drive over the Thai-Lao Friendship bridge I love their water festivals!!! Have you been there for New Year! Hahaha I love getting drenched. Perfect excuse to play with water Laos have the boat races too, awesome fun |

| Ah Udon Thani! Did you know that they can speak both Lao and Thai? Well mainly the older generation. How cool is that huh? My mum told me that a hundred years ago, perhaps more, the Mekong river used to run straight through Laos, but then due to wars and such, they decided to seperate Laos and Thailand by the Mekong. So people in Udon are called Lao Eisan. They used to be Lao. Of course...history can be full of fibs, but I like that story My Mum is from the capital of Laos, Vientiane. She spent most of her teen years in Luang Prabang though, in the mountains. That is true about some Thai women, all they want is money and a VISA. It's true about some Asian women in general actually There are GOOD Asian women too though...I don't wanna get in trouble for dissing Asian women. You and Angie are CUTE You're the perfect couple |

| Yeah, its a bit of mess over there. Kind of depressing really. They are both such beautiful countries and the areas that are most beautiful, like far up north and down south are considered dangerous |

| I'm so in love with the East I did get the chance to visit Cambodia and Vietnam. I started in Siem Reap and went south to Phnom Penh and then west to Sihanoukville. Back to Phnom Penh I went by boat down the Mekong River to Chao Doc, Vietnam and went by bus to Saigon. Then I flew to Danang and went to Hoi An. Then up again by train to Hue... flew again to Hanoi and then to Bangkok... I did many miles in 3 weeks but the memories I keep are unforgettable I can't remember feeling anykind of danger to be honest. I felt quite safe wherever I went, but yes I went only to known places. Some months later I went back but this time I went to Singapore, and up to Malaysia. Eventually I will go to Thailand and Laos if I don't get lost in China next month =) |

| It took me forever to find that pose! I kept seeing it in other peoples shots on the forums and I thought it was a WA only pose something to do with photography or the Japanese culture............I eventually did find it in the good ol Debugenabler menu. It's one of my favorite poses now hehe |
