How would you compare Cleopatra to Emilia Earhart or Marie Curie?...
...or is it just who got the most bling-bling-celebrity?
Will the jury really look at pictures of former celebrities to compare
or just vote for the best hyped celebrities like Kim Kardashian?
Sorry, I would have an idea, but most people won't know her today...
...so where is the comparison/challenge?
To dress up as "anyone" is not really a theme...

I imagine people will vote for the celebrities they recognize and/or like, so going for a famous person that most people probably haven't heard of or aren't able to recognize would likely not give you many votes. Ask yourself this: If you dressed up as the celebrity you have in mind for Halloween, would people know who you were supposed to be? If yes, I say go for it, if no, I'd go with a current and extremely hyped celebrity instead.

Personally, I'm opting out this month, because this theme doesn't speak to me at all. :)

Edit: I forgot to say: There is no jury. Everyone gets to vote. But we aren't shown all entries, we're shown a random 8 entries each day for 7 days and can vote for up to 3 different entries each day.

Yup, opting out was my first thought too...
But this is a Bimboland-demoracy... if this "theme" is no good idea...
we could change it...

I'm sure there are lots of players that love this theme, so it's not going to be changed.

I loved the monster theme in May and the fairytale theme in June, others really hated those. We're all different, and that's a good thing! :) Next month there's a new theme, and entering the contests is optional after all.

Well the theme is set so it will not be changed. And I guess people already signed up. So changing it is just not possible. But if you do have some ideas about a theme for DQFC then I suggest you message our Prime Bimbo. She organizes the DQFC :)

Sadly, I will be opting out this month as well for the first time. I feel like this theme is basically too similiar to cosplay/popculture fight categories even the music category. I assume we will be seeing even more duplicates from fight outfits entered into this months theme than we saw in the fairy tale contest.

'Past' celebrities that came to my mind were Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn... Doris Day I dressed up as once lol. Not necessarily any historical people. I suppose they are celebrities now - and some may have been well known in their day, but other historical people weren't really 'celebrities' when they were alive. That's how I read it anyway.

I'd think to get voted for *without* having any kind of disclaimer on your outfit (which you might be able to add in the unofficial poll thread but you won't be able to say who you are, or are meant to be, in the official poll) it'll have to be someone with a distinctive look, someone who is well known, and someone who you are able to accurately dress as, who has clothes/make up/hair similar enough to what's in the shops so you can look like them. So it certainly will be challenging to look like someone people recognise and to really look like them.

The outfits may be music looks or popculture looks (though cosplay and popculture looks are also things like fictional characters) but it's surely difficult to think of a theme that isn't in any way an outfit category. For fairytales, they could be Fantasy outfits and for monsters, they could be Spooky outfits.

I was not 100% sure if I would enter because it's not my *favourite* theme and I couldn't really think of a celebrity to dress up as immediately but I have an idea now and it is a bit difficult to find things to look like them but it's more interesting if it's challenging surely. They're not my favourite ever celebrity but I don't think I have one... But anyway I'd find it boring to not enter this month just because it's not my favourite theme lol. If I didn't take part because I probably won't win, I'd never enter the contest lol but you have more than a 0% chance if you do enter + it's just fun.

I actually think it might not be that hard to win *if* people voted fairly. We can't yet know they will. but how many people will have a new, creative idea and really look like that person? Personally I don't think everyone will succeed in that, especially in getting across who they're meant to be, and if you do then you're in with a chance.
