I swear by Almighty Xod….
….but who is Xod? Everyone’s been swearing to this being, but what exactly is this “bimbo deity,” the Creator and final judgment (presumably) of Ximbos?
In this lighthearted, silly contest (open to all states!), you’re going to be answering the above questions, depicting the divine. This is not a contest based on real-world religion or depicting real-world Gods, deities, or religious figures. It’s a contest in which you’ll be building your own vision of a fictional Bimbo religion—and it’s not just a fashion contest, it’s also creative! So grab your effigies, offerings, pendants, and slutty monastic attire… and get ready to meet your maker ;)
…..that is not a threat sorry…. just a joke……… <3
Requirements:
This contest has an outfit element and a creative element, and though they’re super flexible, both are required!! Your entry will be disqualified if you don’t have both, so read on for more info.
Your outfit should create a visual for Xod. Will you make a God who created Ximbos in their own image, or will you go with something inhuman, less specific, formless? Is this the only Ximbo God or just one of many? There are no limits and I encourage you to be as creative as possible, even if that means making strange choices!
As for the creative element—you’re making some kind of fake religious material to go along with your outfit. You might write a Ximbo prayer, write out a Ximbo Creation Myth, use a collage and description to outline what sorts of materials and offerings those who worship might make to Xod, sketch out an outfit idea for Ximbo monastic wear, create a literal Ximbo hymn if that’s your style (you’d have to prove to me you actually made it), make a Divine-inspired illustration, a Ximbo Holy Text describing the afterlife, or whatever else!! I’m looking for creativity and imagination, not quality, so I’d encourage you to write, draw, sketch, etc. regardless of your skills!
Your entry may obviously be inspired by how real-world religions work, from common patterns around rituals and offerings to the formation of prayers to typical iconography (my outfit uses a halo, for example). However, you will not be depicting real-world religions or religious figures. This is a fun contest to flex your creative muscles and do a little bit of silly worldbuilding, not to insult, satirize, copy, or otherwise heavily riff off of existing religions and spiritual beliefs.
Rules:
❈ Shop screenshots are allowed, no matter your level! If you're having trouble posting images, check this thread or DM me (Hint: your link has to end in .jpg, .png, or .gif—nothing else works! Postimg and Imgur recommended).
❈ Only one attempt per player! If you submit from multiple accounts at once, please state which account you would like to be judged for the competition or both will be disqualified. Do not like posts from an alt account, including your own.
❈ Entries that can be considered discriminatory, hateful, or intentionally offensive will be disqualified and the user involved blacklisted from prized in any of my future contests. You will not do this by accident, don’t worry.
❈ Make sure you have both an outfit and creative element (read requirements above) or your entry will be disqualified.
Prizes:
I will make a banner for any participant who asks!! I’ll try to include your creative element if format allows (can’t put music in a banner, etc…)! <3
Unless otherwise stated, these prizes are based on my judgment of BOTH your outfit and creative element!

My outfit is included in these images, and my creative element is a drawn recreation of the Creation of Adam hand touch through the banner art, depicting my version of Xod touching Sindy Laarson/Miss Bimbo's hand. Let’s go invent some divinity!! Yay!! <3
