Interview With griffysgirl

What Program Do You Use For Your CYO Creations?
Primarily I use Adobe Photoshop CS3, but when I can't get the look I am going for or the color right I tend to switch over to PhotoImpact x3 since it is user friendly and what I learned on.

When Creating Outfits Which Part Do You Create First?
It really depends on what look I am acheive... I tend to start with the part that is the "kicker" to the outfit. meaning the main focus point. If I can't get the focus point right then chances are the whole outfit won't come out right.

Apart From DC, What Else Do You Do In Your Free Time?
When I am away from DC I am either working or playing with my two boys & husband. The time I get with them is so limited so it is the best times I have.

What Do You Think Of The Current CYO System, Are You Happy With The Prices?
I like the idea, I love the possibilities. It's still a little buggy. I would really like to see the prices come down a bit so that we could sell the clothes for a little less and have more action in the shops. I also think that it would be wonderful if we could upload all of the layers such as shoes, earrings etc.

What Inspires The Outfits You Create?
Sometimes it's other users, sometimes it's a commercial or a tv program, and sometimes I just want to see something on an off the wall color & start drawing lines to see where they take me

What  Advice Would You Give To Those Who Wish To Own A Successful CYO Shop?
Well... be open to new ideas and new techniques. Make sure you add diversity to your shop... For me it seems that my favorite stuff is the stuff that I come up with on my own. My stuff is not always "mainstream" but if you want a "successful" shop that you also enjoy then you need to make stuff that you like. Chances are there's someone out there that like it too. And if your persistent and keep at it, eventually your stuff will get recognized and your fan base grows.

f you would like to purchase any items of Steph, or just have a look at some of the outfits and BGs she has created just follow the links I have posted below

Interview With Lois

Is It Hard Work To Maintain A Guild?
It is pretty hard work. I have a lot of things to do. But it's all worth it

How Hard Did You Find It To Meet The Requirements Needed Top Own A Guild?
Well, the second I heard of Guilds opening, I started to save. So when the guilds did actually come out, the only thing I had to save was a bit more moolah and 30 coins

What is your favourite and least favourite aspect of owning a guild?
I like having my own little family to come too. And there is nothing I do not like

What Improvements Could Be Made On The Guild System?
Well, I fully understand that Paul and Dave have more upgrades to come. For now, I would like to suggest that Paul/Dave make it easier for us to keep track of the members battle stats. Maybe having a system that restarts every month. I hope that makes sense, haha

To Others Out There Who Want To Own A Guild, What Advice Would You Give Them?
I would give them the advice of saving a few more coins and moolah. This will mea they can donate it to their Guild when they make it, giving them a head start. I would also recommend having a lot of time on your hands.

Lois' Guild is "The Fashion Beauties" and I have posted some links below

Scarlet

J'adore this outfit, especially the bag. Again, the outfit is rather simple however it still looks outstanding. I Love the background as well, the brushes used are very nice. Plus, the detail on the dress is gorgeous. Scarlet also has a shop and I shall post the links below!

Rachel3

This is possibly my most favorite doll ever, and I have to say the doll has a most wonderful owner (rachel3). Something about the dress just pulls my eyes towards the whole outfit and the colour scheme is stunning. I also know that Rachel creates her own clothes from scratch, and she has a shop so if you would like a doll like hers just click on the links below.

Unknown

I love seeing dolls that don't use create your own outfits, as much as I love some of the creations that CYO produces I miss seeing gorgeous dolls like this one that use the clothes at the DC Shop. I love the 3 way colour-combo, especially the colours used in it. They don't clash in the slightest and unlike some 3 colour combo outfits, the doll doesn't look odd. Again, I am not sure who the owner of this doll is, but I still think that the doll deserves some recognition.

Unknown

I have loved this doll ever since I saw her on the battle field. The colour scheme is amazing and very unique. Furthermore the pieces used fit together and the outfit is not crowded in the least, it is simple but effective. Unfortunately I do not know the owner of this stylish Diva, but whoever it is has an amazing sense of style.

SakiBlossom

I think everyone should wish SakiBlossom good luck in her attempt to get 1,000 coins. I know I could only wish to have that many coins, however I am sure she will get there as she is over halfway there.

Interview With Trishy

Is Trishy Short For Anything?
Yes it sure is, my real name is Patricia, well actually Patrizia, pronounced - Pah-tree-she-a. I am half Italian hence the name.

Do You Love Dressing Up In Real Life As Well?
Yeah I really do, when I get the chance that is. Social events dwindle a bit as you get older lol.

What Is Your Favorite Item Of Clothing?
I have this red dress at home which is really versatile, you can wear it casual or glam it up, I adore it!

What Are Your Favourite Colours?
Red, Black and White.

What Inspires You In Fashion?
Well as I'm an enthusiast of fashion just about everything and everyone, I like labels like most people do, but can not justify sometimes the amount of money these items cost. I love high street stores especially the past few years the styles and quality have really improved.

Do You Read Trashy Magazines?
Yes! I am a huge Heat fan.

If You Could Have Any Celebrities Wardrobe, Whose Would It Be?
Sheesh what a question! I don't know about any celeb but celeb character - I would die for SJP - Carrie Bradshaws closet any day.

Do You Have Any Pets?
Sure do I have cats they're my babies.
