If the guy were riding a horse or anything sane I probably wouldn't have this avatar.

No need to explain yourselves! I like all your avatars, either way. :vogue:

Never too early, never too late, your beloved Rarity has arrived. :vogue:

I cannot participate in this contest but I simply must show my colors as a true Rarity fan!

"Fabrics! Yes! I uh, need to get some fabrics to...make dresses!"

Oh man, it's nearly identical to diribigal's...great minds think alike! (And have great taste.)

And the winner is...

Aramek! Congratulations! You have won this round of the Rarity's Roughnecks contest! (PM me for your choice of prize and shipping address.)

Aramek - The Breakfast at Tiffany's/Audrey Hepburn look is great! This is definitely the kind of thing Rarity as a character would go for; being the center of attention at high-class parties and whatnot. The grey looks good with the darker stockings/gloves in the night-ish background, and is a softer contrast than an entirely bold black. The sunglasses monocle sets a good focus piece on Rarity's head as well to complete the outfit. Excellently done.
:vogue:

synthorange - What a wild costume! It's like a beatnik hip-hop breakdancer look, and I'm surprised you put that together so quickly! A darker background would have been nicer, especially since the straps and red/black colors make it seem like it might belong closer to Halloween, but I can't stop smiling at her crazy poses.

OFSheep - :starity:

(No honestly I give props to this for crazy originality and a good use for NO MANE, but by gawd!)

Strabo - YOU GOT THE POWERRRRR! Very flamboyant, and I love the eye expressions you used. The cape was a bit much though, since it gives off a kind of Evil Knievel vibe.

CapacitorPlague - An urban cowboy! I like this black-and-blue denim look, but what's with the watch?

Highbrow Dash - Our first Sonic Rainboom reference! :iiaia:

The colors could stay a little more consistent, although it is a good try at the insane beauty pageant look Rarity wore in that episode.

Crow - Very bright and sunny! Good choice of a background to go with the yellow, but I think the big bow tie and monocle accessory kind of clashes with each other since the bow tie fits with the more innocent look and the monocle is for more formal things.

Milli - This is a good look, but my attention is drawn away to the only red piece in her ensemble, which stands out a bit. Perhaps maybe if another major part were also red, it may work, but it's a hard toss-up on which yellow piece should be sacrificed for it. Good use of face pose and striped hair though.

Mechanical Ape - So good! The red dress and accessories make Rarity look like Scarlett Johansson on the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards! The only misgiving I have about this look are the black, strap-happy shoes. Otherwise, the episode reference nose pose coupled with the nightly background to go with my aforementioned Golden Globe scenario had me very conflicted between choosing yours and Aramek's when I had to whittle down the entries! Good job!

diribigal - Now yours is a good example of making simplicity in colors look good. Purple compliments Rarity all the way, and I like yours for being the only one to bring out Rarity's trademark horned glasses.

Kudos to everyone who participated! You all did a very good job!

(Anyone can now post in this thread.)

Good show!

In ponies, as in life, Aramek's attempt to look good trumps my attempt at merely avoiding major faux pas. Perhaps I should seriously look into Aramek's fashion thread...

And god job to the rest of the participants, you made do with those interesting limitations.

Aramek wins at fashion. What a shock. :gotcha:

Best Pony who currently has a gangtag. :v:

I'll never be unloyal to Celestia, so in the interim I should have the gangtag for the loyalest pony. And as a Pilot, RD is my favorite pony of the mane 6 anyways.

Hm. That is acceptable.

For now. :gotcha:

Congratulations to Aramek! :vogue:

And kudos to all Roughnecks and Roughneck-aspirants who participated. You all did fine work (but secretly I liked CapacitorPlague's the best)! Always remember: Aramek may be the one who's famous, but that doesn't mean we have to stop looking fabulous. :iiaia:

Do Rainbow Dash next! I want to see who wins the radicalness event.

(e: A week ago, I never imagined I'd one day find myself googling "which shoes to wear with a red dress". But thanks to this contest, I did.)

(?) · by **Glaed** (?) » Mon Jun 25, 2012 8:31 am

Come on Racers, we can't let Pie win this one! Semper Pie needs to be about 20% cooler.

(?) · by **Willsun** (?) » Mon Jun 25, 2012 11:26 am

Whatever gang is going up next will have to start next week anyway seeing as how some people are going to meet up in New Jersey for some kind of event this weekend, and I'll be gone to a wedding myself (groomsman woohoo). I set up the poll to last for 6 days yesterday so I imagine it'll close itself Thursday midnight or something.

e: I'm a dum-dum and the poll says it'll close itself early morning Saturday.

Hats off again, Willsun. This contest was most enjoyable. :vogue:

It's okay, we Stare Masters are fine with waiting for our turn. No need to rush. :fluttersmith:

I know the term "Gangtag" is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but, heh, damned if it isn't the funniest thing imagining us being actual gangs. Like The Warriors, but about Ponies.

"Dude, we gotta hit those fuckin' Racers tonight! Nobody disrespects Semper Pie!" :black101:

And then there's a large melee. Switchblades, brass knuckles, baseball bats, maces, whips, machetes...even a Trident. Brick killed a guy.

Brick, that is technically murder. I'm afraid you'll have to go away for a while.

Hey, even you have a Twilight gangtag, though when we get our Celestia tags, we should push for Faithful Students being the Celestia gang name, it's just more appropriate.

I dunno, Celestia's Champions has a nice ring to it. :allears:
