CHALLENGE 5: EYE CANDY

Welcome to Project CBRunway!

PLEASE VOTE for any and all entries you feel best complete the challenge. Please vote based on how well the challenge is met, not on art ability. Participants may vote for themselves. Designers will receive a point for each vote they receive. The three contestants who have accumulated the most votes over the eight weekly challenges will move on to CBR Fashion Week.

NOTE: Only registered CBR members with a posting history may vote. Any votes from posters sharing any IP addresses will not be counted, no exceptions. Any fraudulent voting will result in disqualification and a possible permanent forum ban.

CHALLENGE 5: EYE CANDY

For your fifth challenge you must create a signature look for a costumed crime-fighter using the online catalog at www.hersheysstore.com. Did you notice they don't sell any pants? In addition to everything for sale on The Hershey's Store website, you can also incorporate basic materials like thread, muslin, glue, etc. But it will be up to you to explain how your costume is constructed. Your costume design can include weapons or accessories so long as they're fully constructed from items available in the store. All submissions should include a three-sentence description of the costume explaining, to the best of your ability, material, functionality, design inspiration, etc. You should also provide links to all catalog items used in your look. Additionally you may give your character a "name", but please do NOT include anything about powers, abilities, history, origins, etc.

Please vote using the poll, then feel free to make comments or ask questions about this challenge or these designs within this thread. Now let's start the show...

BB's Reese's Bee-ses have foil armor made from the foil wrappers from Reese's PB Cup Minis, and the brown wrappers make their helmets. BB also keeps a lot of pre-chewed gum at hand (and wrist and elbow and neck and leg) for whenever she may need it.

Twizzlers are used to make bracelets, a choker, pony tail holders, and shoes while the charms from a kisses bracelet make a hand covering and the wrapping from a gift box makes a belt.
