33. PROJECT SIMSTYLE (1)

Host Olimpia: Welcome to the Project SimStyle! A talent show to discover a new fashion guru. My name is Olimpia Bautista.

Host Ricardo: And I'm Ricardo Perez. We both know the fashion world inside out.

*Hosts and all participants were downloaded from gallery.

Olimpia: In this room, 10 best designers are waiting. They will face many challenges that will show us who is the future of the fashion world. The winner will be able to start their own brand.

Ricardo: They have to prove that they have many skills and knowledge of trends. I can already see the mess. And some stress.

Olimpia: And a lot of fun! Ready? So sit comfortably and let's start...

PROJECT SIMSTYLE

Of course, there is also our glamorous jury!

Octavia Moon - The best songwriter in the Valley. And of course, a frequent visitor to Starlight Accolades, who knows all the fashion trends.

Izzy Fabulous - Personal Re-Imager of 5 star celebrities. Undoubtedly, brilliant and extraordinary!

Diego Lobo - An invaluable connoisseur and critic of all that is beautiful, so why not fashion? Whoever impresses him will be set for the rest of his life.

And here are our designers.

Lucy McDougal from Britechester. "I'm still studying, but I want to show that when you have talent and taste, age doesn't matter."

Ambroshia Ortez from Ciudad Enamorada. "I once dressed Judith Ward for the Starlight Accolades, what a challenge!"

Arnaud Bouchard from Willow Creek. "Since I was a child I wanted to design great creations, my parents said - Follow your dream. I owe them a lot."

Joanna Bjergsen from Windenburg. "I know I'm getting on in years. But that doesn't mean I'm behind the rest. I can show a lot here."

Chen Wang from Komorebi. "I'm sick of living in the background of a chief designer, this is my chance to make my own brand."

Penelope Seaman from Brindleton Bay. "Of course I want to win, but most importantly I want to have fun."

Maja Drozd from San Sequoia. "Winning would be something, but my dream is already coming true, being around great designers."

John Kirst from San Myshuno. "I design for men, so styling woman's outfits will be an interesting challenge for me."

Justine Ouellette from Tartosa. "I prefer classic style, but I can find myself in any trend."

And last but not least...

Manuia Paoa from Sulani. "I didn't go to any fashion school, so it's important for me to be here. I think I have a chance to win."

Ricardo: Hi everyone! How are you? Welcome to the Project SimStyle. We've scoured Simland to find the best designers, you. And your first assignment is a fashion rite of passage. In honor of Spring Day, you're tasked with creating a springtime everyday look for women. 

Olimpia: It's not just the jury that will be judging your outfits. At the show, influential celebrities will be joining us as both the jury and the models. This time, we'll be welcoming Venessa Jeong. Remember, she'll be the one demonstrating the outfit you've prepared.

During your work, we and the jury will ask you about your concepts.

Okay, is everyone ready?

So the first task of the Project SimStyle begins...

Now!

So, Maja went to the first challenge of the Project SimStyle, the grandparents help around the house and take care of Bas. Meanwhile, Jace went for a walk with Hunter. Whether it was Marshmallow's death or maybe Maja's reality show, but suddenly Jace felt that life was slipping through his fingers.

Jace: Oh, doggy, I feel like I've accomplished nothing in my life. No significant successes. We need to change that! What do you think? Are you with me?

So he started by buying a hot tub and hiring a gardener (because they already have a cleaning lady). Midlife crisis for sure!

Jace decided that learning programming was prestigious enough to pursue. But I don't think he did very well.

Anna: Some kind of crisis?

Jace: What? Haha! No, what kind of crisis?

Anna: Don't worry, I've been there too, I can recognize the signs.

Jace: I really don't know what's going on. We don't lack anything. I have a good job, I'm finally doing what I love. And yet I suddenly have some strange desires. A gardener? For Watcher Sake, I grew up in a big mansion, with all the staff! What do I need one gardener for?!

Anna: Maybe that's it?

Jace: That I'd like to have staff?

Anna: Would you?

Jace: What for? It was my father who always believed having staff and material goods were proof of prosperity and success.

Anna: Hmm... I think your father had and still has more influence on you than you'd like to admit. Think about it.

The conversation with Anna left Jace so much unsettled, that when Hector called to invite them to dinner at Tartosa, he automatically declined. Which he soon began to regret... Perhaps Anna was right. Maybe this crisis has a much greater significance than he first thought?

Meanwhile, Bas got more tasks from the Grim Reaper and, taking advantage of Grandma's inattention, started working on them.

Filip: What are you doing, champ?

Bas: You know, grandpa, it's a school project.

Filip: Bas... I wasn't born yesterday, there are no gardening projects at school. 

Filip: If you tell me, maybe I could help you.

Bas: Okay... But you promise not to tell mom or dad? At least not yet...

Filip: Okay, I won't, it'll stay between us.

Filip: That sounds like a very responsible task! You must be proud of yourself for having accomplished so much!

Bas: Yes! But there are also assignments that I can't do myself. Cooking and some gardening.

Filip: Don't worry, I'll help you with that.

They quickly managed to catch the fishes.

And with the rest of the tasks.

Anna: What are you up to?

Filip: It's a secret!

After cooking, Bas returned to his project for the Science Fair. He had been working on it for some time already. He knew he wouldn't manage on time to enter Ambrosia into the upcoming Science Fair, and he wasn't sure it would be a good idea to bring a dog to life in the middle of a school day... 

Filip: I don't think you need to worry about the little one. He's taken on quite an intriguing project, certainly not the easiest. But I'll keep an eye on him. 

Bas: I'll be done in a minute, doggy. This is gonna be awesome! No one else will have one like this! And tomorrow we'll check outside to see if it works!

Finally, Bas could also give the Grim Reaper the latest information.

Grim Reaper: Very interesting, you did well, boy.

Bas: But that's not all. I also got this book.

Grim Reaper: The Green Lady's Lost Tome?!

Bas: I haven't read it yet, but it supposedly contains the secrets of making Ambrosia.

Grim Reaper: We're getting closer, boy... We're getting closer.

Ricardo: Aaaaaaand - we're back to the studio! The jury is here and all the participants are eagerly awaiting this first show and its result.

Olimpia: And in a moment, the outfits prepared by our talented stylists will be presented by the one and only...

...Venessa Jeong!

Are you ready for this?

Diego: Let's see how the participants coped with this first task.

Spotlights. Music. Action.

"Strike the pose! Vogue!

Look around, everywhere you turn is heartache

It's everywhere that you go (look around)..."

"All you need is your own imagination

So use it, that's what it's for (that's what it's for)

Go inside for your finest inspiration

Your dreams will open the door (open up the door)"

"Beauty's where you find it"

Izzy: It was for sure a very interesting show.

Diego: We definitely saw some characteristics of each participant.

Octavia: However, we will need the audience's help to make the final decision.

Olimpia: Whose creation was the best, and who will unfortunately say goodbye to the program after this first task? You will find out after the voting during the break.
