I'm not willing to slather on a basic, heneh0e-like outfit just to get some recognition out of a small contest hosted by a handful of "judges" (who probably knows little about fashion or visual arts) in a small forum. Doing so would go exactly against what I stand for as someone who has studied and got involved in the arts their whole life, also because I still have my dignity. If some so-called judges want to declare people sporting non-unique, incomplete outfits as winners, then that's the outcome they've decided on, but I refuse to agree and call that fashion because what's fashionable is not decided by cross-dressing, furry weeaboos.

Edit: Somehow I forgot to include my IGN and World, but that's fixed now! ^_^;
The image below was originally a screenshot taken for the sake of it to be my smartphone's wallpaper, proof: http://imgur.com/tSGb59r.
I got the idea to enter this contest from the outpouring support and hype from fellow Maplers in the game.
Thank you for your kind praise and encouragement.

Short description of what your character is wearing:
What look you're going for (theme): I've coveted to create and own a unique, defining look, a look that I can put my name to for years. I've been playing MapleStory since late 2006, but all this time I've been wearing what was adored by the general populace (such as the "Darling Diva" and "Lively Waved" hairstyles), or wore all the pieces belonging to a designated set (such as the "Cat Lolita set"). I've looked up to "Elufu" from Scania for the longest time, and I'd like to name her as one of my biggest inspirations to this outfit. Her sense of style introduced me to the world of color, to the use of pastel colors, and to coordination of colors. As soon as I laid my eyes on her character, I knew that I wanted my character to adorn as many colors in the most stylish manner as possible. I've been improvising this outfit since December of last year. I went through many changes of hairstyles, hair colors, faces, lens colors, accessories, weapon covers, and the like. I wouldn't say that my look is absolutely complete at this point because I'm very open to change, and I enjoy watching my character evolve fashionably. I'd like to try more combinations and sport even bolder looks in the future. For the meantime, I feel like this look satisfies what I've been coveting all those years ago, and accurately represents my creative direction to fashion in this game.
For the month of June, I'm portraying my character in my own impression of Chang'e, the Chinese goddess of the Moon. Many illustrations of Chang'e usually depict her with a large flower hair ornament, long hair flowing past the shoulders, a vibrant oriental robe with intricate floral designs, completed with enveloping ribbons which act as wings that allow Chang'e to fly to the moon. In the image above, Tracy can be seen taking refuge under a leaf to stay dry from the spring rain, patiently waiting for the clouds in the sky to disperse to make her return to the moon.
Just to help those who are still aiming to get this title: accept any 1 task from Emilia and do not complete it for at least 48 hours (2 days).
I tested this on both my BaM and my MM, and both got the title from using this method.
I was about to rage quit and complete the quest last night because waiting 24 hours did nothing for me.
Thank goodness I decided to wait an extra day. ^_^;
Thanks for the warning. I won't be touching that and the Premium Surprise Style Box.
Another reason why I'm avoiding the boxes is because I got nothing of great mention from a previous Philosopher Book run, and that Philosopher Book had more goodies and was priced much cheaper too.
I'm happy with how well I've done with the Royal Hair Coupon, I got all 3 of the ReZero hairstyles on my first 3 coupons. I'm gonna take a seat back from the Cash Shop until the next update.
