hey there, fish gang! 
we had an unexpected result this month with two contest themes winning, and it took a bit for me to figure out what i should do.
sorry for not getting this out to you sooner, i am dealing with some stuff renewing my apartment lease for the summer! january has been a bit of an upset for me. luckily, we've got some extra days in the month, so i can extend the contest a bit. therefore, the contest will start tomorrow, and end on january 31st, 23:59 XL time. i'll just give out rewards on the first day of the next month :-)
we had a tie between 80s Corporate Fashion and thrift haven in our theme poll, so this poll you'll just vote between the two! this should last for the rest of the day (until 23:59 XL time), hence the lightning round name.
if we have another tie, i'll figure something else out - maybe i'll just pick the one i like best?
if you need a refresher, here are the remaining 2 themes:
thrift haven
thrifting is a big part of fashion for some especially when it comes to finding unique pieces or maybe something you've always dreamed of. whatever funky or gorgeous pieces you may find it's always an adventure. from vintage handbags, someone's old wedding dress, or maybe even a stained t-shirt there's always something interesting to find. will you keep it simple or go all out with wacky pieces? will you embrace the craziness? or will you show everyone up with your thrift finds?
let's see how this goes,

80s Corporate Fashion
Office fashion has changed dramatically in recent years, first with focuses on casual wear and individualism in open concept offices and tech start-up type companies, and then with the complete breakdown of office dress codes as office workers began to work from the home office instead.
It's a tragedy for metaphor.
Where is the conflict between conformity and individual expression?! The rigidity of starched suits and perfectly coifed hair?! The perfectly mundane uniform of tie clip, designer watch, and shined shoes hiding the American Psycho bubbling up just beneath the surface?! Where are the giant sharp shoulder pads of a girl boss muscling her way to the top with a full on flotation device's worth of foam sewn into her blazer?!
Let's bring it back for this contest, if only to see how far we've come. Or even just because shoulder pad pant suits are sick as hell.
Will you be a frazzled secretary? The underdog and undermotivated mail clerk? A yuppie yesman playing golf with the boss? A shoulder padded show stopper? Or a veritable Wall Street Sociopath stepping on the backs of others to climb to the top with your patent leather shoes?
