Even though I’m a male, I used a woman for the ice skate mini. I carefully studied all the feet on the female costumes under the pants/leggings/bottoms tab and noticed no ice skates. I pretty much scanned the costumes and outfits and did not see any ice skates either.
…so I resorted for those fuzzy llama-looking boots.
I decided to go with a bundled up mini complete with coat, hat, and fuzzy pants since I couldn’t find any ice skates. Hopefully it will go better than today’s did…I don’t think most of the voters know what avant-garb meant lol.
Likewise, I laughed this morning at the people putting bathing suits on the ice, with minis in their bare feet. Bare feet! The very thought of doing that in reality turns my stomach. Another trend with today’s mini appeared to be using the Christmas elf or the snowman. While both bring up connotation of cold and ice, I found myself voting for the competitor instead.
Well, looks as if my mini should have changed sexual orientation for that shoot ;) I didn’t even look at the male choices & was very surprised to see we had an ice skater to vote on, which is the 1 and only completely fitting attire!!!
Knowing that NOW is sooo helpful…NOT! Guess II shouldn’t be too surprised if I don’t win that bg. At least I wasn’t in a robe or bathing suit or my head was aflame…geesh!
I am now convinced that some enter weird concoctions just to mess with us, like those chatters who say things just to get others in an uproar.
Oh well, let’s hope that’s the ‘worst’ of our ‘problems’, right?!
Lesson #2 learned > look through ALL options first ;)
Lesson 1 was wait til later in the day to dress for shoot because that tricky Pogo just might add options that I didn’t get the opportunity to choose in early AM.

Frank, we can start over, there’s a ‘start over’ button.
I wish we could switch around without having to start completely over, as we can in mini mall. This way we lose all of the elements, including some we may have wanted to use on a different model, so we have to go through the whole process again.
After looking at your answer again, maybe we’re saying the same thing…?
I thought the “start over” button would just throw your selected mini back into a bath robe.
Does it really take you back to the main screen where you can select your model? I could have sworn it didn’t go back that far. I cannot verify until tomorrow since I already submitted for that photoshoot.
FYI: Brenda, it works. I just did the Hot Shots photo shoot for tomorrow [Friday] and the reset button was readily available. Thanks for your suggestion.
I often cross dress my mini (that stems from doing the mini shows) lol. I was so upset my aven ~ guard did so low ~ I just put on the snowman/snowwoman cuz we don’t have skates. Yup I scored really low :( 2.5. The bg I didn’t have that I wanted. Oh well.
And yes the start over button ~ been using since day 1 ~ to go back & read the directions on the dress of the day & change minis.
Update 10/9: I thought I was a shoo-in for a Win with the Men’s Skater Outfit. SHOULD have won that background, but didn’t. Got a 6.9! So go figure…on the Photo shoot, the description, the voters, the whole GAME…LOL
Sorry mem……I dressed Holly as a male using the skates and she did win the background. Now I wish I had dressed myself that way too….LOL
But it still depends on what you are matched against in the voting. If you are matched with someone dressed exactly the same you will probably only get the vote half the time. It doesn’t seem fair, but don’t know what would make it better.
cptenaud,
Sorry you feel so strongly & seriously about a cute little GAME that some of us enjoy, along with tokens & possibly receiving backgrounds we missed out on.
Of course, we know we cannot dress them in the opposite sexes’ attire, but there is absolutely no need for the transvestite comment!
It is merely a ‘virtual’ scenario where we can portray our model as either gender.
Think about it, we are dressing a SCREENNAME. For some of us, it’s our dog. This is all make believe. :)

Too funny Frank!
I dressed Holly as a male so I could use ice skates :)
Great idea moms! I’m sure the little doll doesnt mind for the day!

Lo and behold, a lot of the female minis in today’s voting are wearing those fuzzy llama boot things! :D
Stef: I agree, I dressed my mini wild but scored low.Evening gowns seemed to take the scores.
Frank: See..you knew how to dress today!
I have to laugh at the bathing suit today on the ice..I had to vote for her cuz it was funny. Still many bathrobes..lol.

I actually remembered seeing the male ice skate outfit in a previous hot shot so I went looking for it.
It would be helpful if we could “start over” and select a new mini (male or female).
Frank, we can start over, there’s a ‘start over’ button.
I wish we could switch around without having to start completely over, as we can in mini mall. This way we lose all of the elements, including some we may have wanted to use on a different model, so we have to go through the whole process again.

Yes Frank, it takes you back to the beginning to start all over by selecting your model :) I have done it.
Okay good. I’ll check it out tomorrow to confirm. Thanks for the info (and apologies to the rest for the sidebar).
FYI: Brenda, it works. I just did the Hot Shots photo shoot for tomorrow [Friday] and the reset button was readily available. Thanks for your suggestion.
You’re welcome, Frank. Glad to help.

A lot of people seem to think they are the models here. What hot shots is , is that you are a modeling agent. You have certain models to choose from.
There are no transvestites here. And it is obvious you can not make your male model dress in a woman’s cloths.
