IV. The Bishop

Immobility is her weakness, luxury and absolute power make her the most important.

She can do everything. Her loss is by far the greatest, for she wins or loses the Game.

are you on a roll for a second challenge victory ?!
very good irulan !

the models placed on a huge chessboard in front of a black background. Two girls are always juxtaposed, seemingly in a nasty catfight.

the set reminds me of an old McQueen show ...

Look #6
Setting:

*nitrolicious*

The Barbies are taking the girls shopping. And they even dressed them up, too bad nobody is going to see their outfits. They are stuck in Barbies' purses. We see them peaking out of their purses.

Natasha / Freja:

*style*

On girls:
Kim / Jessica:

*style*

Look #7
Setting:

*mylenstairs*
The Barbies are playing with their girls at the top of the stairs. Nothing bad going on here, until the girls fall down the stairs because the Barbies "accidentally" dropped them down the stairs.

Natasha / Freja:

*style*

On girls:
Kim / Jessica:

*style*

Look #8
Setting:

*fashionologie*
Time for bed! It is sure to be a night of scaring and spooking. The girls are on the floor next the the Barbies' bed. This will be one night you'll want to forget.

The End!

[irulan]

I really like your styling, the outfit with that gorgeous Prada coat especially. And of course the concept, this book fits the theme so well.

 

[BerlinRocks]

Tomorrow should be the closing date of this week challenge.

As only 4 people have taken the chance to play it and I think this isn't fair for the votes, I have decided to extend this week challenge entries to another week ...

So you still have time to make your entry for this week challenge ...
This week challenge should be closed on Sunday, 23th of August !

I blame it on vacations' days !


Here is this week challenge :

Moi, je joue
For the love of the game

We all play games, don't we? Whether it's Monopoly or a serious gambling problem. We fool around and flirt or break hearts and tease.
Most of the time when we play, we need the right attire.
And sometimes...we don't need any.
