Gala SCC + Glam HA items!
Site Update
Velvet Stardust is now sitting pretty in the Seasonal Shop!
Remember, this is the item you can use to upload your very own Bird of Paradise SCC!
(This is the priciest item the shop will offer, fyi.)
30% edit room!
The bag only has enough magic in it to last for the duration of the Gala, so you must submit your pet(s) to the queue by 11:59 PM on April 6th!
We also had a minor fabric explosion in the seasonal shop as well!
Here are some previews of the clothing and accessories you'll currently find there:
Remember, the Glittering Gala has only just begun!
Look out for new additions to the seasonal shop and site throughout the event. :)

Gala Contests!
Site Update
We want to keep the festivities going with some good stories, moving art, inspiring poetry and even more intriguing characters.
First up is two writing contests!
Imagine yourself sitting around an outdoor bar with friends, strangers and more food and wine than you could ever drink or eat. Everything is loud, beautiful and dramatic--the clothes, the music, the colors. Even when you step away from the Gala festival for a moment, the party buzz still hums in your ears.
People have been taking turns singing songs and playing the role of a bard, and now it's your turn.
Click to enter.
If you excel at something a little more structured, then we have a contest for that too!
Writing to the prompt of Drama of the Glittering Gala, your work may take the form of either a short story or an "epic" poem in a slam of narrative styles!
Click to enter.
We also have a Character Contest on the event board that features these five customs-to-be. Create a personality/character profile for the one that speaks to you the most and you might just be able to take it home!
The Glittering Gala is also funding a series of art contests!
Theme: GLAM
Mediums: All art mediums are accepted as long as they are comprised of all original work. Photomanipulations, for example, are not allowed. You can use digital or traditional media, do sculpture work, etc.
There are three different classes you can enter even though they all have the same theme and requirements.
Master Class
For artists who have been officially recognized by the art gallery or other site event.
Contributor Class
For pet colorists, breeding artists, etc.
Dark Horse Class
For unestablished artists.
You may only enter in one class and there's one entry per account.
If you're unsure which class you fall in, you can either PM Mori (#802) or myself.
We are also bringing you another pair of BP auction pets!
Click on the pet's image to go to their auction thread!
There will be a total of ten pets put into these BP auctions.
Good luck!
Holy flippin' sequins that's a lot of contests.
*collapse*
Have fun with them! :3

The Glittering Gala!
Site Update
Running March 30th - April 6th!
The Glittering Gala is a festival of glitz and glamour, with loud music and even louder outfits to welcome spring and the coming of the flower viewing season. Basically, it's party time here on Aywas. ;) Are you ready?
With the help of a Slashbot, a little pinch of stardust and Mori's mind, we bring you a week-long festival of good food, art, stories, and a metric universe ton of sequins!
Let's kick off the celebration with an explosion of fabric!
We have a lot gorgeous outfits and accessories to release throughout the event. And I mean a lot.
The Glittering Gala will have lots of limited edition clothing, but it will also make a permanent impact on the clothing shops around Ay. You can find the Layer Cake dress series and many more pieces in the stores now!
Now, what's a party without food?
These three tasty treats can be found in the Ay shops. Make sure you pay before you try and sample the food!
While you're chowing down, you might also want to feast your eyes on that pretty art I talked about.
This lovely, glamorous bird is the mascot of our Glittering Gala event--aka, the silver pet base!
Click the image to download the PSD file.
30% edit room as usual, but this time we don't have a thread for you to trip over yourself coloring for. Instead, we have this shiny Velvet Stardust bag that you can use, which can be used from the Custom Pet page.
It only has enough magic in it to last for the duration of the Gala, so you must submit your pet(s) to the queue by 11:59 PM on April 6th!
Now, how do you obtain one of these snazzy bags?
SEQUINS!
I told you there was a ton of them, didn't I?
Sequins are a special currency that will be used in a seasonal shop for this event.
You can find them in any location in Adventure and will come across random piles between 1 and 10 sequins.
These points are locked to your account, so you cannot sell or trade them.
So, what will you be able to buy with Sequins?
Velvet Stardust, mounds and mounds of glamorous HA clothing, and extravagant pets!
We are going to wait for a day or so to open the seasonal shop. This will give us time to track how sequins are accumulating and help us determine item prices--not to mention upload all the goodies we have for you!
As if all this wasn't exciting enough, what's a party without some games or a little competition?
The Glittering Gala is also sponsoring art, writing and character contests, as well as hosting several auctions!
We're going to start off with a pair of BP auctions for two glammed-up custom pets!
Click on the pet's image to go to their auction!
Details on the art, writing and character contests will be posted shortly!
Note: If you submitted anything to either of the Glittering Gala threads, just hang tight! We still have a lot of things to accept and upload and then will be able to take care of payments. :)
Mori spent a lot of time planning out this event for everyone to enjoy down to the smallest detail, but unfortunately can't be here to see it kick off since he is on a trip to Japan, so lets enjoy the sequins for him!
Even when he's not here, I think it's pretty clear he knows how to throw a party, wouldn't you agree?

Toray Voting!
Pets
You guys made judging these supremely difficult, especially since I adore this pet. But, I managed to narrow it down!
Remember, the coloration with the most votes will become an official site pet and reside in the BP Shop.
The rest will be given away as customs in some fashion or another.
To vote, please include the phrase "Toray #__" in your news post comment. For example, if you want the first Toray, please comment "Toray #1."
1................................................2................................................3
4................................................5................................................6
If you colored one of these Torays, don't contact Visark for your prizes just yet, we need to finish voting first!
If you entered a Toray that you don't see up here, you are free to do whatever you want with the design.
I certainly hope to see some for sale in Pet Design Sales! :3
You have until March 28th at 11:59 PM to cast your vote!

They won:
The theme for this week is our new froggy friend, the Wibbit!
Don't forget that the Enchanted Forest will only be green until March 28th at 11:59 PM, so snag those clovers while you can!
