Twins – Dorothy and Kansas Teat (one avatar one bot)
When thinking of Dorothy and Kansas Tweet personality, think Legally Blonde meets Clueless meets Vegas show girls- both twins are flashy, have rude behavior and annoying voices. - They are both short in stature
Their age is aprox 19-22, their face is full of make up and they are always chatting about gossip. When asked about their connection with the disappeared designer they will say: "Oh, like I love him or something, he is one of top 100 favorite designers. Kansas Tweet- "One time he made for my baby, "Champagne" (her little dog) a cashmere ball gown for her birthday party that was divine."
# 01 the twins wear matching outfits with subtle variations in the style and color scheme- They both wear crocodile fitted jackets with gigantic fur trims on collar and sleeves, with Matching boots and python skin skirts.
About the color green, Kansas tweet mentions: - When I took my dog "Champagne" to her Masseur I read an article about how they are destroying the rain forests- that depressed me Sooo much, in that night I couldn’t even coordinate shoes with purses. So, today I decided To wear green as a protest against the killing of those poor little trees, home of so many Lovely animals. As a pro "green peace" statement I am wearing this lovely little "baby Crocodile" coat with this lovely rare spider monkey fur collar dyed in green, the color of nature.
#02 also as a peace statement against war they made "peace" brooches out of platinum But Dorothy thought it would be more glamorous to have the symbol of Mercedes Benz, That looks just like it.
#03 the size of their jewelry is ridiculously huge. Stones are chunky and shine a lot. If asked if their jewelry is fake they will stop the conversation and tell you to go to hell - player looses status points.
#04 They are both platinum blonde, chunky figured bodies and short; they talk like idiots and dress like pantone hookers.
05# Their socks (if you want to, also their skirts - have designer prints all over it - I would go with the Burberry pled, but if you want to I can make a knock off of the Louis Vuitton print for their socks.
Gossips say - That they might not be twins; they just went to the same plastic surgeon. That one of them is dating the jaded model That they might be guilty, because anyone that cannot coordinate their skirts with their jackets is not trustworthy.
There is this very popular facial cream made out of seaweed, called "crème de la mer" that is a must among the real high society. Their utter cream company could be called "crème de la merd" or "crème de l’amour". The cream works as a multi purpose complex that burns body fat, eliminates unwanted hair, be a self-tanning lotion and make an amazing cupcake frosting. They also own other business, such as vegan and organic beef jerky factories and things like that.
Give them a nickname; like the conglomo sisters
Young. Rude. Rich. Three words that define the Teat Twins, of udder cream wealth. While wearing their green baby crocodile jackets with rare spider monkey fur trim, the twins devote their time to saving the rainforest and endangered animals.

Ratava (Bot)
Arrogant beyond reason, this designer has defeated the odds, to become one of the top ten designers to watch this year. His latest collection will launch him to fame or straight into the garbage. Plucked from obscurity by [insert name of ex-partner], Enil Sockpot overcame bad hair and an even worse name, to become the stylist for the over the top Teat Twins thereby ensuring a place in fashion history. This marks his first collection on his own.
------------------------
Zeck Posing (bot)
--His name is Zeck Posing - It is a name adaptation from the 21 years old socialite boy/designer/ flavor of the month Zac Posen.
The protégé is mad at Ratava because he is not treated with respect as a human being: -"worst, he treats me like, like, like a FASHION ASSISTANT! ! ! He is always bitching around---like Zeck, get me a latte, or Zeck, where are the sample fabrics? Or Zeeck Why aren't you wearing the Speedos that I bought for you?! Or even Zeckkkk, stop bitching at the phone and give me my back rub! ! !"
Zeck is young and like any fashionable dumb person, he cannot finish a sentence without saying like or whatever five hundred times).
He is mad at Ratava because he is not treated with the respect that he believes he deserves - "You know, like I started designing at the "TENDER" age of seventeen, one year ago!!! My auntie (countess Fredojenska) saw this beautiful dog collar I made out of my "Hermes" bow tie and from that moment she knew I was like, like fashionable or something."
Zeck Is actually ok with the press, but he is also mad that his name is not on the Brand. Ratava make he do stupid stuff, like coffee, or gluing and pasting mood boards together, or answering the phone and Wearing Speedos for work.
His outfit is a reinterpretation
of the way the dandies (aristocracy male society whores) used to dress in the
twenties (the funny hat is a key element). Little is to be added about him.
-He been on the front cover Of "Hamptons Lifestyle"* magazine over
four times (he constantly brag about it- How can he treat me like that? I was
voted East Hamptons best-dressed teenager over six times)
* The Hamptons is NY’s favorite neighborhood for snobs, yuppies and Nouveau Riches.
The protégé to Ratava, Zeck Posing [18] had already made a splash in the fashion world designing dog collars for his Aunt Countess Fredojenska at the tender age of 17. Zecks transition from boy to man became evident this year as his face graced the cover of “Hamptons Lifestyle” not once but four times. Zeck enjoys his newfound fame, but longs for the respect from his mentor. The tension between them has become obvious with Zeck being quoted as saying [in Hampton Lifestyle] “he treats me like, like, like a FASHION ASSISTANT! ! ! He is always bitching around---like Zeck, get me a latte, or Zeck, where are the sample fabrics? Or Zeeck Why aren't you wearing the Speedos that I bought for you?! Or even Zeckkkk, stop bitching at the phone and give me my back rub! ! !"
------------------------
Ex-Partner – name?? (bot)
The jaded "can't work anymore" designer than can work anymore and is painfully bitter and humiliated by being left behind. (Yves Saint Laurent that was fired from the brand that bared HIS name). The old designer represents a decadent "fashion is dead" aura and generation.
Deserted by Ratava [his protégé, that he plucked from obscurity and molded into a designing star] and plagued by designers block, the once influential [insert name here] has hit rock bottom. His attempts to blacken Ratava’s name have only fueled the fire and encouraged people to look for this up and coming designers first collection. [insert name here] is here in hopes that he will be able to say “I told you so” and regain the Teat Twins affection.

Journalist – Ana Winter (avatar)
The journalist is really making fun of the worlds most over paid editor, Anna Wintour, for Vogue. The character name is Ane Winter. Aside from the newspaper pages I am sending you that are a riot, the only remark I will make about this character (aside that she is a MEGABITCH, more of a starlet than anyone else) is that the character's hair is obviously a wig, and moves independently from her head. Like if her head tilts a bit, the hair tilts a bit further than the face.
As fashion editor for Vogue, Ana Winter, has frozen many young designers heart and career with her scathing reviews. Known not only for her ability to change hair [colour and style] within minutes, Ana is fashion [at least according to Vogue].Will Ratava be able to weather the storm?
------------------------
Male model – Igorr (avatar)
I was thinking of his name being something cocky, like Igorr. Something that resembles a Male super model (from the 90's) Fabio Meets Zoolander meets any hedonist muscle junkie you might ever met in the coast.
I tried to do my best making his teeth glow in the dark, but my rendering did not captured the intensity of the shine I wanted coming out of his teeth.
I wanted his face to be beyond inexpressive, hunky and dumb, if you are going to put on voices, it would be perfect if he had a "Latino" accent. Kind of like saying Proyect instead of project.
-Whenever someone tried to approach him he could reply with a: "sorry, Honne(y), but Igorr is not signing autographs tonite. But if you really want it you can get my autograph on E-bay, or buy my shirt on my Fan site"
He is very phony and cheesy. He gives a new meaning to the word hedonistic.
When asked about his teeth
he could get very defensive. "Even if I didn't have my teeth, I would still
look better than you, a horse's behind is cuter than your face".
or " Are you jealous, honne(y).
But when asked about the designer he spills out the beans- "That ugly toadface was just a jealous sorry disfigured traitor. He broke my contract just because of my Mega Bleaching treatment. My teeth are so bright, they glo(w) in the dar(k). Which is good, now when I have my facial hair waxed I don't even need to turn the bathroom lights on."
When other character talk about him they could say something like: "He is sooo yesterday, look at him, all ciliconed and muscled, that is soooo 90's." "I'm sorry darling, but he is just no hairy enough; the new chic is hairy man". (sad but very true, seen the Lacoste Cologne add lately?)
He have a shirt with his own face printed on it, his clothes are so tight it is like if he was naked, make a naked character and "paint" clothes on- that's him. This pants are tight and made out of glossy rubber. Except for his clothes, his look is very 50's rock and roll like.
Igorr, whose career never took off, but was made famous by his radioactive teeth-whitening incident, is attending the show this evening to show the world what they are missing. This prime piece of meat is known for his luscious locks and bulging biceps a look that our Winter Queen finds outdated and “sooo 90’s”.

Young female model – Holly Dayinn (bot)
She is a good girl dressed
like Lolita. I wanted her to have a sweet girl-woman face. But I wanted her
clothes to be innocently over sexed - like Japanese schoolgirls.
Her color palette is absolutely pastel, he is nothing but a twiggy fourteen
years old looking girl with ridiculously long bonny legs. Elongated even more
by HUGE, Pathetic and chunky platforms.
She is sweet, dumb and smile way too much, (if possible) plays with her hair while talking and giggles finishing with that terrible nostrils noise that resemble a pig (rrrronck)
She comes from Windsor- Windsor Farm- Alabama (she came from a "dirty farm" - way southern people used to call young underage whorehouse-farms)
She exposes the sexualization and usage of young girls as models. She talks like Marylyn Monroe and repeats constantly things like: "It was oh(all) soh nice, soh very nice."
The reason why the designer would expose her was because she refused to make his topless underwear advertisement, mostly because he underwear was made out of rabbit fur. She says: "I am against the killing of any cute animal, and rabbits, rabbits are all soh nice, soh very nice."
What about the critic?:
"she is soh nice, soh very nice".
What about the designers splitting(because of the protégé)? It
makes me feel pain in my chest to think of it, the three of them are soh nice,
soh very nice; I don't know why can't they just be friends, why can't they just
become business partners and make a threesome (meaning triad)".
She only continue doing shows for the designer because she is "friends" with the (social dandi) protégé. They became friends because of a contract her agent signed.
How is your relationship with xxx (young designer)? "He is my best fuend, you know? He is soh nice, soh very nice, we always get our bikini wax together." --- "people think just because we are in this fashion thingies that we are different. I am just a normal girl that like having fun with my best friends, Kate, Naomi, Bono, Britney, Paris..." --- "Me and my fuends to have fun do normal stuff, like going to the movies, shopping, Karaokeing, closing the presidential suite in the Hilton Hotel to have a Toga party, swimming in hot tubs filled with French champagne, throwing furniture on passers and burning carpets on Lobbies with our rock star friends."
She is taller than any other character.
"I am not just a hot body, I also have fantastic hair and a winning smile"
Let's think of some way she can hint her age: 13 and a half
Her agent will accidentally tell that she is going to have breast implants in no more than a week from today. "no more Tinny taa-tas, Holly need to stuff some money in our pockets by stuffing some cleavages on the runway shows."
" I eat everything I please, like yesterday, I had a full olive, can you believe that? and my agent, didn't even made me throw it up..." :-)
Her best friend is Muffin, the stuffed bear her Rock Star (wife beater- one week long) boyfriend gave to her: "I go everywhere with my Muffin, he understands me.
This fresh face from London, has the all-American girl next door appeal including Southern manners and authentic sounding drawl. Her smile evokes “Lolita” like innocence that is accentuated by her long legs and girlish giggle. Hollys love for animals forced her to turn down an advertisement for Ratava “I am against the killing of any cute animal, and rabbits, rabbits are all soh nice, soh very nice." Only to be spurned by the designer publicly with the following threat… “Soon everyone will know!!” The question is: What is this “London” bell hiding?
------------------------
Holly’s Manager – (avatar)
The agent- He is dressed in Burberry plaid from head to toe. I inspired myself on Notorious BIG and P- Diddy. He is loud extravagant, rude and blunt. There is a female bot with him. She is always looking very sexy and very voluptuous (On her hand she have a Ratava Bag-knock of Louis Vuitton’s monogram), but she doesn’t talk, and if she tries to, the manager will tell her to shut up.
The agent, known for representing young innocents like Holly Dayinn, is well known for his unique style and notorious behaviour. He is never seen without a voluptuous woman [who is seen, not heard] on his arm, perhaps this is an attempt to counteract his loud and abrasive personality.

Russian Countess (Gallery Owner) (bot)
Zeck’s Auntie (picture
not finalized)
The countess would be this very large and scandalous Russian woman that lives
in her mansion with a pig, a duck and a bird (actually, in real life the best
friend of Yves Saint Laurent was like that, her pets were all alcoholics).
Countess Fredojenska is never without her pets – a pig, duck and a bird, or a martini. As an influential force in both socialite society and the fashion world, the countess is pleased to have Ratavas first collection presented at her gallery. Especially since her nephew, Zeck Posing, single-handedly saved the collection from disaster with his series of animal collars.

The Challenge One! (bot)
I decided to send this
bot as a challenge. Not because I am mean, but because I know many students
will draw similar sketches. I want to be able to guide them better and let them
know their (and the animators) limitations. On this bot, not just the skirt
is uneven (you can see the back of the dress from the front), but the fabric
is lightweight, which means when the figure is in motion the skirt lifts and
move in a wave pattern.
Although the fabric is not transparent, to model this bot is definitely a challenge.
It would be great if the results were posted on the forum as soon as possible.
For the posting, the texture is not as necessary as the structure in motion.
Figure #1- shows how fabric hang on the body
Figure #2- front and profile of bot¹s shoe (with studs)
Figure #3-It is showing front and back of the bot¹s dress. The fabric is not transparent, but is scalloped and is "paper" thin. The pink area is where the print goes.
Figure #4- When the figure is static, the hair bangs hang down and so does the dress. When the figure is in motion, the air moves the bangs backwards (side backwards) and the air rises the skirt. When in motion the scallops in the fabric move in waves.
PS: Unlike a normal person, a model walk is a bit stronger, almost like a stomp or a stride.

I am forwarding you some pictures of Leon in costume to see if your team wants
to make him into a character. He could then wear the clothes to the event; I
also have high res photos of these and would redo them if you want them.
