Cricket Bride's Wedding Wednesday Challenge!

Storky, 22 June, 2011 at 08:02 Posted on Planning 0 56

Welcome back, ladies and gents!

Last week saw some excellent entries and I have high hopes for today.

Today's challenge is to create the ultimate Big Fat Gypsy Wedding gown using the items on or around your desk or from home. Annotated diagrams are welcomed as are photos of your entries (which, let's face it, are actively encouraged!). Bonus marks will be given for anyone making a life size creation they are able to wear. By all means post pictures from the web but given the artistic skills of last weeks' finalists, do not expect to find yourself in the coveted Top 3!

As with last week, the judges decision is final (hello me!) and I take no responsibility if you're fired as a result of participating. Entry closes at 5pm today. The winning entry will be the lucky recipient of a chocolate bar of my choosing (unless I don't hear from najmww who won last week, then you'll be the lucky recipient of TWO chocolate bars of my choosing - the excitement is palpable!)

Let those creative talents run wild, folks - told you a glitter pen might come in handy!

Wow me, tigers, wow me!

CB

    Seeing as I'm spending this morning clothes shopping, would it be cheating to take a photo of something I see?

    Early entry from me. I shall call it "Unicorn Wonderland".

    Just realised the unicorn horn on the skirt looks a bit phallic. I'm just going to go with it. Let's just pretend it's an ancient Gypsy tradition to bring you good luck & fertility in your marriage..

    Hahaa brilliant! And Red Barry - yes, she is excited to see her new husband. Tried to hide her Captain Winky, but decided to turn it into a unicorn horn instead.

    I couldn't take part last week so have spent an inordinate amount of time on my submission this week. The model is an M&S plastic spoon, the rest are all things I found on my desk (apart from the hair grip wand - that was in my bag).

    I admit this is a rush job as supposed to be working on an "important project" but key points to note:

    Cat inspired pink velour gown with 100ft train and mini dress detail to allow flashing of fishnet stockings, neon garter, Cheryl Colesque barbed wire tattoo and token hooker heels!

    Matching pink velour headpiece

    Nipple showage

    Tarantula inspired spider lashes

    Neon pink cement filled lips

    Toilet bleach cheap extensions

    A special mention must go to paperchase for the lovely cat design!

    Here is my entry... She has a highlighter colour top (she is super skinny due to the new BFGW diet) with a multicoloured skirt. SHe is also rocking the latest heart tiara.

    Along side her is a man that has been sprayed gold and walks behind her playing "red red wine"
