Room Themes

Okay, here are a few room themes for you. Use your imagination! If there are two themes you REALLY like, combine them! I combined "Spooky" and "Stage" to make a spooky stage. Also, you can use your imagination to use these themes and tweak them. You just have to imagine the room theme because I won't give any descriptions this time. If you can combine at least 5 of them, I will feature you in a blog post! Just add xdragonxprincessx as a friend and send her a ZNote telling her to meet her on Zwinky. Then, go to your room and explain to her what items are from what. If it all makes sense, you will get your username posted! If not, I'll ask you to explain. Okay, here they are:
• Spooky
• stage
• Hospital
• Underwater
• Castle
• in the sky
• center of the earth
• forest
• Medieval
• Civil War
• Spanish
• African
• India
• Japan
• Camping
• Fashion Runway

If you have any suggestions, just put them in a comment. Thanks! =)

Families

Okay, you may have seen cuties asking for moms or hotties asking cuties if they have a mom, and if they don't, if they want a mom. It's just like jobs; It has no benefit, but it's more of a roleplaying thing. In jobs, you're roleplaying working in an area. In families, it's just like that, only roleplaying a family. Here are some tips:
• If you're the mom and you have a BF, make sure it's okay with him to take care of a cutie.
• If you're the mom, (or possibly dad if you're a boy reading this. o_O;) it might pay to buy a dorm room.
• NEVER agree to meet ANYONE you only know on Zwinky to meet you in real life. This goes for cuties, too. You have to note that the only age restrictions are that you have to be 13 years or older. No "80 years or younger" stuff. >_>;
• If you're a cutie, try not to ask for too many items. I've seen numerous people buying lots of items for their sons/daughters. Remember, it's just a roleplay. You can treat them to an item occasionally, but don't overdo it.
• Add each other to your friends list. =) That way, the roleplay continues when you all log on again.

Have fun finding a family! =)

Jewelry Help

OMG! You just got a date with the guy you've been eyeing for quite some time now!!! It's a dream come true! You already have your outfit and accessories and jewelry planned out and... WAIT! Jewelry? Uh oh! You wake up and realize it was just a dream, but you are still wondering: What would you do if that really did happen? If you didn't have any jewelry, you'd better hope that your new BF either didn't like jewelry or didn't mind a girl not having jewelry!



So, let's choose an outfit for me to wear as an example.
It's the outfit I often wear to dates by the beach. You want your jewelry to match the outfit. Jewelry can make or break an outfit. You only see a bracelet in that, so lets add some jewelry. Here are my choices for this outfit:


Leather Choker: In the color of the top of the skirt, it adds an elegant flair; However, if I wanted something a bit more bold, an orange red choker might be a good choice.


Wooden Beads: Available from the summer shop. The colors and tropical style look beautiful with the outfit.


I'm going to let the rest be. What is our style?

Note the choker that was added. The bracelet was also changed.

These are other styles that I have worn on online dates with my BF: (We know each other in real life, not just on Zwinky.)

Jobs in Zwinktopia

Okay, I have decided to put together a guide to jobs in Zwinktopia. This is one of the things about Zwinktopia that has ups and downs. The good side is that it's usually fun and a good time waster. The bad news is that you don't get paid. Here are some things to know about jobs:
1. All you need to do to get a job is to ask a persn working there. If there isn't anyone working there, all you need to do is get behind the counter.

It's that simple! Others might also ask you to work there. Tell them to get into a uniform. "Whoa, hold on!" I hear a bunch of people saying. "Uniforms!?" Do you honestly see employees in real life dressing in denim jeans and a leopard print t-shirt? Didn't think so. It is best for the uniforms to match the store.
• If you work at the pizza place, a red and black theme would be a good uniform; for the burger place, replace the red with yellow.
• For working at the surf shop, a print dress or tubetop set in ocean blue would be a good uniform.
• For the Lair, try a gothic theme, like lots of chains and skulls.
• for working at Like Dat, a striped dress would work good with lots of gold necklaces and jewelry.
• For the university club, a nice uniform might be a shirt from there and a pair of jeans.
• Here is a list of dresses that might make good uniforms for work at the castle:
•Fairy Tale Gown, Satin Dress, Royal Dress, Lady in Waiting, Bar Maid2, Princess(the first and second one), Queen dress, Lady dress, Leaf Dress, Medieval Queen, Medieval dress, young princess, Villager, Owl Fairie
• For working at the Rock Vault, but any of the shirts and wear it with jeans as your uniform.
• at Z Avenue, a beautiful dress will go a long way if you're working there.
• buy some of their shoes and wear an outfit that goes with them.
• If you want to work at Hodge Podge, try bright colors.
• for Z's greetings, try a dress from there or jeans and a shirt from there. =)

Okay, now, get out there and get a job! =)

Unique Styles

Shocktoberfest is almost over, so I decided to find some styles for each of the unique styles, goth, prep, and fashionista again. This time, it is for fall casual wear.
Goth: Halloween is almost over, but that doesn't mean that you don't have a place for your style anymore! If you don't have 2000 zchievements, a star skirt, T-Shirt, and sneakers with a black and red theme might look cool. If you do, the off-shoulder2 top and the t-shirt w/ chain look cool. There is als a mini w/ belts and pants with chains.

Prep: Your girly style could be cute amongst all the fall leaves. For those without 2,000 zchievements, the layered shirt 2 in light pink and white looks really cute. A nice addition to that would be the star skirt, only in a matching color. If you have over 2,000 zchievements, the flower top and all the sparkly tops look nice. Those go well with a pair of jeans or the border skirt.

Fashionista: If you don't have 2,000 zchievements, an off the shoulder top and the star skirt *AGAIN!!!* make a great pair. *It's very versatile, so it goes with a lot of stuff.* If you do, try on a boat neck top and matching camo shorts, or a ruffle mini with sparkle top 2.


NOTE: These are just guidelines, so feel free to edit them in any way you want to on your avatar. See you next blog post! =)

Making Friends

You could easily call me popular or unpopular; However, I just happen to know one thing that some people I've met on Zwinky don't know: Point out good things about the people you meet on Zwinky, not everything bad. I'm really good at this. Here are some tips for those of you who want to be more popular than you already are:
• Peace is good. Don't deliberately start an arguement about something.
• DON'T START A FLAME WAR. Once again, PEACE IS GOOD. If you hate someone in the room, don't go "Ewwww wth ur ugly" or whatever.
• It doesn't matter whether anyone is straight or gay or whatever! Serioulsy! I'm not gay, but I don't find bullying other people because they are gay funny or whatever. I have numerous friends that are gay. So what? Doesn't mean to say I am.
• DO NOT- I repeat, DO NOT- bully ANYONE because of their race. This just makes you appear arrogant and ignorant to everyone around you. If you are tempted to do that, don't. Just BE NICE TO PEOPLE OF OTHER RACES.
• This is a big one: If someone has a unique sense of style,don't bully them for it. No, seriously. Just becasue they don't wear a bikini to the mall or whatever, doesn't mean that you can bully them. This is seriously a big problem. so what if I wear a jacket over my dress to the prom? It could be because I don't want too much skin to show.
• Be modest, please. All that wearing a bra as an article of clothing does is portray you as stupid.

Just remember: Peace=good. Violence=bad.

Roleplaying

"What?!" I hear most people saying, "Roleplaynig on Zwinky?! No way!" Believe it or not, it's happened, most of the time in the graveyard, or in one of the places you can access from the graveyard. Here are some tips for it:
• Change your avatar to match the roleplay! It makes absolutely no sense having a werewolf or cat looking like a normal human! Unless you are playing a normal human, in which case, you might not need to change your avatar that much...
• use OOC. Using OOC is just putting "OOC:" before the thing in OOC. Since Zwinky has no forums that I know about, you say one thing in OOC, enter it, then type the actual roleplay part.
• There are many ways to tell if someone is using OOC or not. I like putting my OOC like this: ((This is an example of how I put my OOC. )) Some people do similar stuff, like [[ ]], {{ }}, and ( ).
• Once again, since Zwinky has no forums that I know about, we can't do stuff like, "Jill closed the door behind her, relieved that Bob had stopped chasingher, at least for a while. 'Whew, that was seriously close..." she muttered to herself." Instead, do something like this if you're Jill: "*closes door* *muttering* Whew, that was close..."
• If you're character changes in the roleplay, change your avatar. For example: Let's use Jill again. Say, Bob was a vampire, and he'd managed to bite her, turning her into a vampire. Then, Jill should change her avatar to look more like a vampire.
• Speaking of that, ONLY CHANGE ANOTHER CHARACTER IF IT IS OKAY WITH THE OTHER ROLEPLAYER. No, Seriously. Ask them in OOC. If it isnn't okay, you can attempt to do i but miss. Let's say you're bob for a minute. Jill doesn't want her character to be a vampire. You can say, "Bob attempts to bit Jill on the neck, but misses and falls onto the ground."

Happy roleplaying!

Shocktoberfest!

Hey! Am I the only one excited about Shocktoberfest??? PLEASE tell me that I'm not! With Ms. Information's humorous comment about Mr. Foxtrot's room, I am ready for the horror! But, uh... What room do I go in...? I have decided to make a guide to all of the rooms so that you know what to expect when you go in.



The Lobby is the room with the music. You could stay there, perhaps, but the other rooms get lots of attention. The lobby has the drinks that you can do stuff with. the middle one can be bought withou the ZCard, unlike the other two. Here is an example of what the lobby looks like:



The Spooky Spirit chatroom is the scariest, in my opinion. There's a coffin and bones and gravestones, oh my! The eyes and skull also make this a spooky room. It is perfect for graveyard roleplaying games. (Roleplaying games? Oh, uh... forgot to do that blog post, heh... I'll do that after I post clever costumes... >_>; )

The creepy crawler room is CREEPY. No, seriously. This room, which is best for the boyish roleplays, has bugs all around it. I, personally, as a girly girl/fashionista don't like it, but I went in anyway. If you have a gross brother, well, direct them to that room if you don't want to have to deal with them.

The black magic room is my second favorite room. It features a spellbook, two caldrons, many candles, and a broomstick. This might be the best room for fantasty roleplaying.

The final room, and my favorite room, is the pumpkin patch. When I went there, I was the only tall person there! O_O; It felt awkward!!! Anyway, I like it because it is the most versatile room for roleplaying. There are pumpkins everywhere!

Okay, now, off to post more! I will try to post more tips as often as possible now. I will only post when I have days off of school though.

Costumes to suit your style

Goth: Okay, you have one of the most unique styles. Your style is extra cool this time of the year, though, because of Halloween! The skulls and chains on your clothes help you look extra spooky, which is good this time of year. The hairstyle that might add to that is the Cavegirl hairstyle. This might seem awfully girly, but a pair of black mary jane shoes would make an excellent addition to any outfit. The Spider Queen dress is just THE BEST gothic costume in The Skeleton's Closet.




Prep: Now might be the season of the witch, but there is still an opportunity for being girly! The Dorothy hair looks adorable on your avatar, no matter what, and you can choose the color of the ribbons, so it goes well with lots of things. The Geisha sandals are beautiful, and can go with lots of stuff. For you, the Dorothy costume might be the best way for you to go. The adorable puppy is just irresistable, and it looks beautiful with just about any color scheme.

Fashionista: You are willing to follow any fashion as long as it is "In," so this year, the new styles provide a lot of opportunity. For you, the short hair might be the right choice. For shoes, the leopard boots are purr-fect. (Haha, get it?) Those leapord boots look totally cool with a matching cavegirl dress.

Other styles that might appeal to people:



Havre a great day, folks!

Tips for your room

So, you just managed to save up some ZBucks to buy your room. That's great! But, uh oh... When you go in, not only is it extremely bland, but you have no clue how the heck you're going to decorate it! Thankfully, I put together this guide on how to decorate your room so that there will be no splashing random colors on your walls and hoping that it will go together. =)

• Try choosing a color scheme. I love blue and green color schemes, and pink and orange are AWESOME together. Another thing, try soft versions of those colors. A spring green and pale blue work together like magic. Or, if you are daring, try a bold orange and hot pink. If you are gothic, a black or gray would look totally cool with a dark red or dark purple.

• Try browsing through the furniture in the stores. Want a spooky room? The Skeleton's Closet has lots of halloween decorations for you. Are you looking for a more girly room? The ZLoft is the correct answer for you. There are so many options for furniture, I can't name them all!

• If you are looking for a spooky room, Candles are awesome lighting, and a hanging skeleton never fails to add a spoky touch to any room. If you want a girly room, You might want to keep away from the Skeleton's Closet and stick to the ZLoft. (Unless you like pumkkins. then, you can go in there to buy a few pumpkins or buy the bed.)

• Ease up on the accessories! I know it is tempting to put tons of candles on the floor or put one million butterflies on the wall, but you want people to be able to walk around and be able to see the walls. A few butterflies or candles can make a beautiful addition to any room, but don't overdo it.

Safety Tips

Have you tried to enter the "Zwinky Safety Room" on Zwinky, but you don't know the password? The password for that place is Zafety, but SHHH!!! You didn'y hear it from me! XD Anyway, here are a few tips that will make your stay in Zwinky a pleasent one:
• NEVER share your password with ANYONE.
• Never reveal where you live. (Country is okay, but no getting more specific than that!)
• Don't tell anyone your age. (If they ask, come up with something to say like "I'm immortal" or "I lost track of time 1,000,000 years ago.")
• Don't let people online know your real name, first or last. (I messed up BAD on this one on my old account on Zwinky...) (And, come to think of it, I also messed up with putting my real name on my name on this... Oops.)
• Don't agree to meet ANYONE online if you don't know them in real life.
• Don't even say the name of your favorite hangout. Believe it or not, that could let someone track you or a friend down easily.

Alright, today I will also post a few tips for your room on Zwinky and a few fashion tips for each unique style. Now I have 2,000 zcheivements, so I can now tell you what styles you can use if you have 2,000 zcheivements, too, but I'll never stop using the clothes you start out with.

Makeup Tips

This doesn't matter much if you're using the "Hottie" body on Zwinky, but if you're using the "Cutie" figure, everyone can see your makeup clearly, so I reccomend using a few makeup tips that I will say here.

NOTE: My mom used to be a beauty therapist, so don't tell me that I don't know anything about Makeup, lol.



• Less is more. (I don't think this really counts on Zwinky...)

• Neutral colors are best, unless you're dressing up. But, don't wear green lipstick... Seriously...

• Also, keep makeup subtle. Once again, Don't wear bright makeup. I don't think that blue, green, or purple are natural skin colors. ^_~

Here are some pictures:



Soon, I will post tips for staying safe on Zwinky.

Bri's Zwinky Blog intro / Woman's Fall Fashion

Hello, and welcome to my Zwinky Blog. I will post things like funny Zwinky events, Zwinky Tips, and Fashion of Zwinky! so, let's get started with a little fashion. This is a blog mainly for girls that go on Zwinky, but, hey, you never know when a man will want to know what girls like. =)



Since it is fall, Don't go around in a swimsuit. If you need a few suggestions, take a look at these avatars I created on my main account, xdragonxprincessx.

Hey, if you're like me and you haven't got 2000 zcheivements yet, the LEAST you can do is a sweater and some jeans.

If you want to wear a skirt, make sure you wear leggings too. Also, a scarf is a useful and stylish thing. All the scarves are available since you start playing Zwinky, thankfully. =)

Also, a few tips:

•Hoodies are SO cool this time of year if you have 2000 zcheivements.

•Lots of stores have cool items, too. Go check the stores out and see what you can find!

•The jackets in the jackets section are awesome. There is a fur stole if you have 2000 zcheivements and want to dress up, and there is a crop sweater if you feel a bit more casual. =)

• I was surprised when I saw how many people were running around with short shorts and a bikini top on. That's seriously just ASKING to catch a cold. I seriously hope they don't dress like that in real life...
