Okay, I suppose we will have to think about historic/retro issue if history places in a poll.
I'm not sure if I wish to see 2 history -themed categories as it would limit us from having something else completely new (like, we already see very historic/ancient themed looks in retro category so renaming it wouldn't change anything really). But we will see what we will come up with :)

Maybe it would make sense to leave cosplay and popculture as they are then?
And I wouldn't worry too much about new players getting confused with PBFC slot, if they stayed in a game a month they would find out what it is about. 

Anyway, let's keep the discussion in categories and slots amounts. I'm under impression that the number of slots should be dividable with number 4. So we should ask either 4-8-12-16-20-24-28 slots.

Currently I would suggest asking for 16-20 new slots that would include 4-6 new categories. Does this sound reasonable? 

That sounds good! 
Also popculture & cosplay should defo stay separate

I've been slowly working up to the amount of slots that I have and I just bought the last two and was thinking the exact same thing! Especially a PBFC slot specifically just to keep it organized.

I strongly suggest to keep both Pop-culture and Cosplay as 2 outfit categories. They do overlap in some examples but not necessary. If you want to make Anime character for instance, it may fit both PC and Cosplay, but making Kim K. is more likely PC than Cosplay. Or, making fursona is Cosplay, not PC.

Someone suggested Kawaii category. I think it was suggested previous year too. That time we come to conclusion that it most likely fits Cosplay. If Sweet/Cutesy comes into poll, I guess Kawaii can fit well that category.

Cyberpunk is not sub-category of Punk. Both cyberpunk and steampunk are SF genres. Various 'something-punks' such dieselpunk, steelpunk, biopunk, nowpunk, neocyberpunk etc. have very little or nothing with Punk except for suffix 'punk' because terms were constructed at the age when Punk movement was in zenith, and usually share subversive and/or anarchic ideology with punk. All of them are futuristic oriented and represent projection of specific era into the future, often kinda extreme. Same as foodporn, spaceporn and other 'porns'  that have nothing with real and original porn, but refer to HQ pics of something. That being said, categories such Sci-Fi, Futuristic/Futurism, Dystopia encompass Cyberpunk and other 'somethingpunks' much better that Punk and Alternative/Subculture categories.

Agree with that total number of new slots should be dividable with 4 mostly because of the discount system for buying more slots. Buying 4 at once is most payable.
Currently we have 16 categories and 20 slots in total (only 4 free). If we get 6 categories and 16 slots the ratio will change to 22 categories and 36 slots (14 free), which already sounds much better. The best case scenery is if you succeed in getting 6 new categories and 20 more slots.
Maybe it seems like too many slots at the moment but it would really solve many problems and having more slots won't hurt anyone (actually it may help game economy ;)). I would aim for 20 more slots and 6 more categories because there is a chance that we will get less than asked anyway, even if being modest :/

I agree we definitely need more free slots to showcase our own styles independent of the fixed categories and also for saving outfits for competitions and PBFC so that we don't have to remove any of our existing outfits for that. Although I'm not very much interested in new categories I just need lots of free slots (but that's just my opinion).

And also I was thinking if we could customize the name of the outfits that are just saved as 'no category' and could name them as per our choice that would be so much fun.

Not too many answered in my question about having cosplay&popculture merged and history&retro issue. But I think it's honestly the best solution to just leave them be as they are - it is also less work for developers and we can avoid some confusion if any changes are being made here.

Thanks, LillyAnn for clearing up the cyberpunk. We have  both, Sci-Fi and Futuristic in the poll, do you think it's reasonable? 

I will send the poll later today, it will be up around 4-5 days.

More slots would be amazing! I haven't even finished the current ones but I am pretty sure by the end of the month I would be needing more.
For categories, I would suggest regional as a category where we can have outfits that belong to particular vernacular or area like orient, midwestern, native or traditional specific to our countries/ religion.
I wish we could get a feature like an album where we can catalog our looks, even if they aren't for fighting. Like other users, I am sure even my taste has evolved so it would be fun to go back and take a look at that evolution! But I am sure that's another discussion. Just putting the idea out there.

I think it is. Because similarly to cosplay vs. pop-culture Sci-Fi and Futuristic may overlap sometimes (example: fancy spacey outfit) but not not necessarily.

About retro vs. historic issue, maybe just naming category Retro/History instead of just Retro. The same as we have with Fitness/Sporty and Casual/Daytime. It shouldn't be really a big deal for developers. Renaming category in Vintage for instance is tricky because vintage item is usually 'second-hand' item or item literally made in past. Retro is new made item that looks like item from past times based on style and fashion. Vintage is usually less than 100 years old and Antique refers to items older than 100 years. It's really hard to find a middle ground and fitting term that encompasses all of that and all eras. Like, if you buy a new toga that looks the same as Ancient Greek toga, would you call it retro, antique, vintage or historic? Maybe it's the best to keep it as simple as possible since we already use Retro for various outfits. It's just hard to tell what would be the right thing to do regarding that.   

p.s. I see now you already posted the poll. I started this post and moved on something else meanwhile. But essentially that's it.
You can post the poll in Himbo shop requests threads, I guess it would be good if they vote too. Hopefully new categories will be suitable for them, at least some of them.

Thanks LillyAnn :) I posted the poll there. I actually invited some himbos but didn't get any responses. I will also send the poll link to their profiles as well. 
Yeah, I agree with you with the retro/history issue. People are already wearing very historic outfits in their retro category, mainly because they have no choice. If history places in poll, some want to see it merged with retro, meanwhile some want to have it as it's own category so it will be tricky.
It's best to keep things simple, maybe have them separate then. 
Anyway, I have started preparing the letter to team bimbo and I hope they will give us a positive response. :)

Holiday (stand alone)!  I appreciate when someone dresses for St Patrick’s day Xmas, Easter. June Pride, Whatever. Although, It is similar to seasonal. 

“At home” is cool maybe too similar to PJ party. At home could lend itself for various accessories (current example: gaming processor is cool). 

The dirtbag in me also has to throw out “trashy, trailer park, slutty, sleaze.  (maybe to similar to sexy).

Crime is also kind of general, and has a myriad of possibilities. Crime can be upsetting to some (me included) but it’s just a dress up game, 

It would help to to have backgrounds that support the themes. Squad cars, used car lot, unkept room, gambling casinos.
