An Unusual Photo Request: Naripon Toadstool WINNER POSTED!

Aug 17, 2009

    1. First, I just need to say thank you for the amazing submissions that we received for this contest. It totally brightened my day! I think people had a lot of fun, and this is a contest where we may give out some little extras (mostly simple things like postcard sets) because people were such good sports. For the real "contest" part, we will have 2 winners. These two will receive a $20 store credit to Featherfall!

      We will not be linking usernames to photos... except of course the winners. However, the winners will have the opportunity to post real, prettied up pictures of themselves to show how lovely they normally look. :)

      As a refresher, entrants were trying to emulate this facial expression:

      (Naripon Toadstool by Notdoll Lab.)

      Please vote for your favorite entries based on accuracy in the facial expression... and if it looks like the model is really into it! :)

      (If you submitted an entry before 5pm EST and do not see it here, please PM armeleia immediately.)

      How to Vote

      Each entry is posted within its own post within this thread. You will notice that there is a small star icon [​IMG] at the bottom right of each post. To vote, click this star. You can tell that your vote has been counted because the star will then look like this [​IMG] and the number beside it will increase. (You can test it out on this post if you'd like!)

      Please keep in mind that you cannot take away your star after you have selected it.

      You may give a star to each photo that you enjoy! There is no limit on the number of stars that you can give.

      Voting will close tomorrow night, August 18th, at 7pm EST.

      The entries with the most stars wins!

      In the event of a tie, the winner will be settled by a PM game of rock-paper-scissors.

      :pcupcake:pcupcake HAPPY VOTING AND GOOD LUCK! :pcupcake:pcupcake

    39. We're going to close the voting an hour early - at 6pm. (I have to run a carload of stuff over to the new place after work and won't be around to check the voting then).
       
    40. Winners are #137 (nightsdarkness) with 146 votes and #3 (cheshiretiffy) with 109 votes! Please PM me for your Featherfall Coupon Codes!

      We would also like to send Postcard Sets to a few honorable mentions. I will update the following later with the usernames, but I need to look them up first.

      Honorable Mentions:
      #14 Fantastic Use of Prop!
      #16 Accuracy of expression. She really got the mouth right!
      #21 The Wig is a nice touch!
      #24 This is a great example of legal ways to abuse one's husband.
      #30 This is another entry that has a very accurate portrayal of the expression. :)

      If anyone would like to post their real, normal picture... please do! Just quote the post that has your toadstool face in the post so we can match it up!
       
    41. Congrats to everyone who had the gumption to sub one (I wonder how many - like me - tried but chickened out?)

      And ty to the mods for all the contests, but especially this one, whose concept made me -literally- LOL!
       
    42. LOL~ This wasn't me- it was my father. BUT- this is him:

      [​IMG] Sorry- I dont have better quality photo uploaded at the moment:sweat

      & Yes~! A HUGE thanks for having such fun contests. It was so funny seeing all of my friends try this.
       
    43. Your father is a great sport! Kudos to him for doing this.

      All-in-all, this was an awesome contest. So much fun to see and great for the laughs it produced from both those who entered (and suffered for their 'art') and those of us who got to see the results..

      LM
       
    44. I'm entry #15 but i didn't use any props T____T;;

      [​IMG]
      And yay I got honorable mention! :sweat Thanks so much mods for coming up with such a fun idea! My friends won't let me live this one down for a while!
       
    47. Sorry for the mixup! Entry #14 was chosen for best use of props. Congrats to all the winners and good sports! It was awesome to see everyone's senses of humor. :)
       
    48. EDITEDIT: XD I thought I was 15 because of the post number! I am #14. >___> Trufax.

      *posting this to reclaim honor* O^O <---srsface.
      Thank you so much for giving me a honorable mention! I just hope I made people laugh. 8D It really makes me day and I'm grateful for the honorable mention. >w< *bow*

      I'm the entry with the doll body. I had a very fun time doing it! It was hilarious. XD I had my neighbor and brother taking pictures and helping me since the both of them were too embarrassed to make a funny face with me.

      [​IMG]

      *trying to dig up a picture where she's not making a stupid face* XD Man, this is hard. Uhhh...*roots through folders* Ah! Here's one! This is me, in costume, but at least with a decent face.
      I swear, all the pictures I have of myself are in costume. WTH.

    49. I borrowed my friend m@'s face. Big thanks to him!
      Here he is in the norm:

      [​IMG]

      Great contest! This was a ton of fun.
       
    50. What a hoot this was! Thanks to everyone involved for causing some serious gut ripping laughs!

      Congrats to the winners! What a great memory this will be for you.:)
       
    51. That was fun! Now, I better go remove my poor hubby's picture (glad to learn I wasn't the only guilty of spousal abuse lol)!
       
    52. lol honorable mention for a wig i decided to grab last second. score <3 if i owned anything yellow, i might've thrown it on too.

      but yeah, see how cute i am?
      [​IMG]
      before my hair cut, but you can see that in my avatar and profile already anyway xP
       
    53. Congratulations to everyone! This contest has been my favorite so far. :D

      Mine was entry #10:
      [​IMG]

      I smooshed my face up against a pane of glass to get the pic, and took the photo from the other side. =P It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, because apparently my lips don't quite move into the right shape. :lol: But it was so horrifying I had to submit it anyway.

      I had to dig to find a photo of myself where I'm not making a goofy face, so this one is a little old. But it does prove I'm not quite so terrifying most of the time! ;) (Ignore the hair that's plastered to my face... :sweat)

      [​IMG]
       
    54. Oh heavens I look terrible...

      This is a bit of an older picture, much different hair, but I look more... normal here. Except for the doll attempting to eat my head.

      [​IMG]
       
    55. Oh gosh - I've been attached to the couch wanting to die for two days with tonsilitis and this really lifted my spirits!! Kudos to you all for entering guys - it was really fun to see :)
       
    56. LOL Gosh i'm scary |D
