Maxis Taste Dare 010: Formal makeover

[strangetomato]

It's been a while since I actually participated in one of the maxis_taste dares (I did the makeover for Goopy and Sandy, but I never did get around to posting it). This one ties in nicely with my Christmasy mood, so I decided to go for it.

The challenge was to make over a couple (same sex apparently needing an opposite sex "chaperone" or some such thing :P), and I decided to go with a platonic couple for my entry. And I threw another guy into the mix, just 'cause. I've been happily playing around with Photoshop, so these images are screencapped and ~sparkly~ and I left them in the widescreen format of my monitor.

And it has FRANCES, so what are you waiting for?










For my couple, I chose Beau and Lucy, because there's no better date than your BFF. I went to the prom with mine, so I know this from experience, okay? The event is a Christmas party, as you can see.

Lucy is wearing a lovely frock from the Sims 2 Store Asian fusion collection (if you haven't check it out yet, head on over to MATY - some of the dresses are WAY above par for the store), and Beau rocks a recolour of a suit from Glamour Life that is easily my favourite male formal attire.




These two really know how to get the party started.

(And check out those frightening nutcrackers!)




Frances isn't quite sure what to think of it.

He's also sporting a recolour of my favourite suit, in an appropriately dark colour. He's such a black/blue/purple guy, isn't he? Is he a "winter"?

Frances: *needs to drink more before he'll dance like that, thankyouverymuch*




Frances: Yes, indeed...

(Beau's breakdancing, btw. It's from AL.)




Wait... did he just do what I think he did? *snicker* Lordy, the punch has to be spiked, because Frances just crushed the cup on his head! I just missed getting a pic of it.




Then he tosses it over his shoulder into the gelatin like a total BADASS.




Frances: Maybe it's the punch talking... but, damn, he's looking...




Frances: Ummm... goofy. But the blue in his shirt really does bring out his eyes.




Lucy smiles.

Yes, everything is going according to plan.

The party looks AMAZING, ST. I love their outfits! And Beau is so adorable with his break dancing.

I love how Frances is on the outskirts, but watching at the same time. FRANNY FTW.

And Lucy's hair is GORGEOUS. Is it from XMSims?

"same sex apparently needing an opposite sex "chaperone" or some such thing"
rofl!! it sounds really bad, if u put like that! rofl
The idea was to include both makeovers (male and female), you could have done two couples as well ;)

Nice makeovers! :)
Love Frances and the place is beautiful!

Well, now I need to use the fruit punch thing! I didn't know they crushed the cups on their heads!

Awesome pics!

Hee! Love it. Frances looks sexy in that suit. The setting and decorations are so cute. Looks like it's going to be a great party!

Amazing! Love Frances, quietly getting drunk in the background, with the nutcrackers, lol. They all look so pretty!

(Those maxis-sclerified Phobia+Sahrha eyes are looking real good. Aaaah, what should I doo??)

Omgosh Lucy! SO PRETTY! That is basically all I could think through this whole thing. Lucy's GORGEOUS and she always seems to give off some really extreme expressions. <3333

Lol at the dancing! And Frances' cup smashing skillz.

Beau and Lucy are my favorite BFFs.

ps Johnny's nutcracker vs those two nutcrackers? THIS IS A BATTLE THAT I MUST SEE.

I love your new userpic :P

The eyes look great on them too. I keep forgetting that your Lucy and Beau aren't a couple... they just seem so well suited. They look like they're having fun anyway.

The new Asian dresses are cute indeed! I was just checking them out a couple days ago. Perhaps the hair is odd (for a lack of a better word), but the clothes make up for that big time!

The suits are also neat. I agree, those are the best formal outfits for the male adults.

So THAT'S how the Breakdancing looks! For a moment I thought poor Beau had broken his back in one of those pics. Gotta love the crazy eyes the sims make while dancing ^^.

The makeovers are neat, very classy but comfortable enough to have fun at a party. Even Frances can't avoid losing up a little in these festive days. That pic of him throwing his cup at the gelatin is priceless. He looks so "cool", as if no one was looking at him.

Hahahaha nice!
Frances just quietly getting sloshed in the shadows while the party rages on....
Breakdancing has its moments... I'm not hugely fond but I think it will grow on me eventually.

LOVE the decorating you did!! & the teaser pic was all amounts of win!

Awesome job! I'm going have to check out the Asian stuff now...I quite like that dress!

This was a fun one to read. I just loved Francis quietly getting drunk while the other two danced. I've gotta get someone to breakdance in my game so I can see it first hand. I bet it's amazing to see.

So THAT'S where your new icon came from.

Everyone looks great (and nice party clutter, too).

I love when sims crush that cup on their head. Only certain ones do it. I wonder if it's a personality thing (like getting auto nude for the hot tub).

Firstly, you pull off those eyes so well.

Those images are so crisp and beautiful- so much that I unlurked again to tell you.

Awesome, awesome.

Sharp beautiful pictures. I love that one of Frances looking at Beau. He is so cute. (Frances that is)

Want to see them kiss already! :P

Looks like one heck of a party :)
