THE IDEA:
Tempest has been very social the last few months, and most of us probably have a token of her affections lying around. I want to be inspired for using these items, and to have others realize their potential as well. Scary, sweet, elemental, haute couture, comedic, action-adventure...show it off!
THE RULES:
You must use three items out of these five:
[item2=Cloud Taming Comb] [item2=Shock of Lightning Anklet] [item2=Shock of Lightning Bracelet] [item2=Shock of Lightning earrings] [item2=Shock of Lightning necklace]
They must be visible on your HA.
Please make sure the total cost of your outfit is around a million in user or official shops (like Zombie Den and stuff), excepting the Tempest items as those won't count against your budget. I'm also not going to be super-strict if it's a few dozen K over or something; I'd just like to be able to tell you made a good-faith effort to stay close to the price. Special items that are currently available in shops like the Menagerie would be counted by the cost of the currency to get them or the user shop price, whichever is cheapest; for example, Gold and Green Mechanical Butterfly Wings would count as (16.5K * 7 =) 115K, not the 250K in shop search. But a Simple Pinned Tan Vest would count as 73K since it's that price in user shops, not the 82K its trinkets would cost. Custom Clothing and so forth is allowed if it's within your budget.
You do not have to own the pieces (the shared function will be great for this).
Special skins are not allowed; I like them, but since not everyone has access to them even in Shared it doesn't seem fair.
Entries can be made (and modified) until July 4th and will be judged by what is posted on the 4th. I will post results on the 4th or 5th.
THE PRIZES:
The winner, judged by me, will get their entire outfit bought and given to them by me.
The second-place winner will get to choose an item out of their outfit to receive.
The third-place winner will get an item chosen by me out of their outfit (excepting the Tempest items).
All participants will get one of those five items of their choice plus the prize for placing, if you did.

Pinging myself so I can update it later.
I also think this topic should be moved to the Avatar Contests & Games subforum.
