First topic message reminder :
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:
Important: 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:

Nah scary one is gone now. I decided it was time to display my preciousness: Anouk. She's getting old on me and I need to capture her youth.

On gee, whats a question!!
I get my inspiration from real people I see on the street or television, magazines. I take characteristics I like and blend them. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I suggest finding a few pictures of real people and taking some of their features and just playing around with them. That's what I do
I'm a realism nutter when it comes to the Sims. My sims must look realistic or I get cranky like. LOL.
