This week...month...something....in challenges!

We love to give coverage to every and any initiative aimed at the crowd of passionate photographers, filmakers, artists who make up so much of our active community. I admit my limits and tell you that I am a rather poor 'hunter' of opportunities not being on Flickr a lot, so I will suggest to please, share your findings on the in-world pornstars group or just IM me, Katina Cazalet, in world, especially if you are unsure about the appropriateness of the entry.

I appreciate the work done by our own Jadelyn McAuley relaying us the information about the "Fun in the Sun" photo hunt. From the blog post about it by one of the sponsors (the other being our favourite US-time party venue Hard Alley Social Club )

What is the idea behind a photo hunt and how does it work? The idea is you pick a sim, and all contest entry photos must be taken on whatever Sim was chosen. For our very first photo hunt we will be using Vice Beach. You are welcome to use the entire sim is not just limited to the beach area.

Rules in short? Take a photo at the Stroker Toyz sim, submit it at this flickr group here before the 18th of the month, the photo must have NO EDIT work done except cropping, that's the biggest challenge! This is a wonderful opportunity for every aspiring photographer and for the more established ones as well, with a solid 10'000 L$ grand prize, and other equally impressive gifts. Be creative!

Kayla puts Johnny to work for the winning photo of the last contest in 'Motivation'! 

In the nawties department as well, I am also giving a shoutout for Bibble Sugartooth's group, 'Bibi's Photo Contest'. Join the flick group, and the inworld group as well, to hear more about it all including the full list of winners. The current contest that just closed was 'Spank that Booty': as you can see Kayla Bombastic really nailed it, and I don't just mean JohnnyWhadd's booty.Prepare for the 15th of this month and the new theme "Erotic Bondage"

Marika Djannovic's winning entry for the P.A.S.S. contest, sponsored by Swallow. Features herself and an indentured servant.

And in closing for this post, another group that offers to its members a regular challenge is Brea Brianna's P.A.S.S. group. With the sponsorship of a famous brand of clothing/jewelry/skins/awesomesauce, Brea offers to the group members the chance to take part to a photo competition that nets pretty nifty prizes to the winners plus the outfit you see in these pictures, that was at the time an exclusive Fetish Fair item. Here you see the photos, starting with the 6 winners in order, and then the runner ups in alphabetical listing

These 3 contests blogged all offer a tangible monetary reward, but there are so many groups on flickr about 'challenges' of creativity. What's your favourite one? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below, or in my nawty box inworld.

What Have I done! 6/22: Swallow Your Pride

As usual, we enjoy opening the Sexiest Pornstars blog to all sorts of contributions that stimulate the imagination of the sensual photographer in you and keep that pesky "IM BORED WHAT DO I DO" bug. In fact, saying 'open to' is misleading. The blog tries to be nothing but a reflection of the activities from and for the Sexiest Pornstars group members, a group so very diverse and often not focused on sexual activities but rather on the visual arts aspect.

 Alexandria Topaz's photo, 1st placed in the contest won the 5k gift card from the sponsor!

The most notable initiative of the past couple of weeks has again been promoted by the Porn Actresses Support System group, in the person of the owner, serial covergirl Brea Brianna. The theme of this contest was "Swallow your pride": no mystery from the title already which store sponsored it. The contestants who expressed their interest were given a specific outfit (dress plus belly piercing), and were tasked to make an effective promo photo. I'm very happy to publish the winning 5 pictures here, and the very close runner-ups as well, since they are such sexy photos.

I am sure the group owner Brea together with the sponsor in the person of the very amiable Xo Mai will try and make this contest a traditon: I hate cliches like only someone who has to use them every day (whenever I blog) can do, but everyone was a winner with this contest, leaving one dress and one experience richer!

That being said, the girls in P.A.S.S. and every other pornstar do not need the L$ incentive to measure themselves with contests and such. Even if Brea does always offer something to the winner. :-)
The theme for the next weekly contest of the group is "SULTRY IN SATIN".
You have until the 29th of June to submit your photo, to the P.A.S.S. Flickr  group.

Good luck to everyone involved!



I was also pleased to see (regardless of my personal partecipation in it) 2 photographers from the group on the podium of the Phone Box Contest promoted by one of the best spots for photographers and lovers of the arts in general, Alanis Gallery! Big congrats to Laura Demonista and Sasquatch Rhino!





More contests happen all the time, and I'm always willing to put the outcome and more importantly, the invitations to partecipate here on the blog. Drop in my IM box or in the comments here your suggestions and reports!
One for instance is, the contest group launched by Bibble Sugartooth for her specific contest flickr group: time is nearly up, you have until the 25th to publish your SEXY IN SWIMSUITS photo, right here at this url!

There are always interesting 'memes' and themes that we can get going, besides the ever popular Toples Tuesday, Happy Ass Monday who drive good Ali crazy keeping up with all of them!
Make a flickr group for your contests (it's a must), and make one for your memes and intiatives , is my suggestion, so it's easier to follow them !  But feel free of course to tell me more about them and use the group to promote them.

Yes....do that. Damn, I usually put this in italics at the end, or something!

Look Out For... Bibble Sugartooth

I was very pleased to see the lovely girl known as BlueOceanGinger on flickr ( 'bibblestar' in world), model for the awesome Athena Obviate in the pic above (and more!). But even more pleasing has been to see her take a step up in her already beautiful artwork, editing pictures (really nice results if you check out her 'The Beauty' set) and now even accepting commission work.

Here's a selection from her flickr: enjoy!
