Kirina's Closet

I haven’t been doing much lately with my site, especially these last couple of months, because I’ve been so BUSY with work. Who would have thought being a teacher would eat up so much free time? lol >.< Good thing the semester ends at the end of this week!

Another thing that ends this week is what this post is for. Chatmay, over at the WoW Debutante, has been hosting a Transmog Fashion Contest this month. The only thing you have to do is comment on her post who you think should win, and, you’ll have a chance to win something, too! I would vote myself, but well, I’m a contestant. ^_^ The contest is between myself, Kamalia from Kamalia et alia, and Effraeti from Effraeti’s RP.

Check out the contest and vote!

I think Kamalia’s outfit is very cute, simple, and unique. I would have never thought of that, and, it looks adorable on her Tauren! Effraeti’s outfit is a very sultry fire shaman ^_^

In other news, hopefully with the holiday I’ll get some new content up on this site. I know I’ve said that before….oh well, I’m sorry lol.

Over this Thanksgiving break, WoWInsider featured Kirina’s Closet on their “15 minutes of fame” section!

I was so honored to be interviewed by them, and, I love that they even asked me about my WoW knitting.

More importantly though, tomorrow is the 29th – the end of PvP season 10. Will tomorrow be 4.3 day, as well? I’m waking up early to find out. Hopefully, though, it’ll be next week Tuesday…more in line with the Darkmoon Faire schedule (^_^).

I am also happy to see that they finally added recipes for Rhinestone Sunglasses and the High Society Top Hat to be available in-game once 4.3 hits. It’ll be awesome for clothies if we can transmog these!

Yea! Lol, I guess I kept all of you that participated in the Hallow’s End Costume Contest in suspense long enough. The winners for the 3rd annual contest are:

Grand Prize – Ryan’s “Spartan” costume 2nd Place – Montanna’s “Spiderman” costume 1st runner up – Erinia’s “Wicked Witch of the West” costume 2nd runner up – Daniel’s “Ron Weasly quidditch outfit” costume

View these costumes, and all the other entries under the 2011 Hallows End Costume Contest page.

This year, Waddell and I had help from a couple of volunteer judges who have been long time readers of this site – Kamalia and Hyacintha. Even with two extra people in the decision making, we all had a hard time narrowing down the entries to the final winners…and you all made it even harder this year with almost twice the amount of entries as last year, and, by raising the bar with the quality/creativity of the costumes!

Something different that I included this year were “Honorable Mention” costumes. These were the costumes that were a part of each judge’s top 10 picks…the ones that the final vote came down between.

Last year, I saw an influx of posts on the forums asking about the items that contestants used in the costumes that they submitted – even for those that did not win a prize. So, if your costume didn’t win, please know that your idea(s) still inspire someone else because they are still creative and unique! I’m sure I’ll get requests asking for the outfit pieces of a lot of costumes submitted…especially the ones that look like NPCs.

I want to thank all of contestants for their entry(s). Thank you for participating!

**Important** Winners: I e-mailed out a message (to the e-mail address you submitted with your costume) to you stating that you’ve won, which also contains the codes to your prize(s). If you can’t find it (check your spam too ^_^), please comment to this post, and I will resend the information. Thanks! ~ Kirina

What a great turn-out we had this year! There are a lot of entries for us to go through, but, I wouldn’t want it any other way ^_^
We should have the contest winners chosen in a couple of days.

/Sigh. Where has the year gone? It’s already November! I bet patch 4.3 comes out in a couple of weeks…I can’t wait!

It’s that time of year again!

The 3rd annual Hallow’s End Costume Contest sponsored by Kirina’s Closet is now open to all who wish to participate! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!

**Attention** This year, I decided to do things a bit differently. Waddell and I would like a couple of this site’s readers to join us for judging! We only need about 3 of you. Please note that if you decide to be a judge for the contest, you will not be able to participate in the contest.
If this sounds like fun for you, please do not hesitate to contact me at: kirina(at)kirinascloset.com. I look forward to judging with you! ^_^

I have also put a quick costume uploader near the “search bar” for easy access – that way, you don’t have to go through all the rules/prizes to get there.
