Already the new world of MxO has traditions, and one of the most enjoyable is the periodic Best-Dressed Competition.Its most recent iteration took place this past weekend, and was a meeting ground for all fans of fun and Lady Fashion.
The event was spread over two nights at Midian East’s Avalon, and was ably MCed by the vivacious Illyria1 of The Collective, with help from her coterie of agents-in-place.The first night was given to the men of MxO, who showed off savvy styles and rakish moves across the dance floor.Some sauntered, some somersaulted; all impressed and won cheers and whistles from the womenfolk present.From a strong field, Snyden (The Collective), Maius (Clan Darkstar), and EndlessVoid (no known clan) emerged as finalists.
Turnout surged for the second night.At least, so it seemed to a contestant, like me!As before we waited our turns in the balcony; I spent my time making sure I knew the way to the bottom floor.Many excellent performances were given; some people relied on presentation; others put their bets on poise and presence. And there were many last minute, surprise entrants, such as Leelu, Midnight1, Alysha, and Gothique!As may be expected, The Sirens were strongly represented.
Three finalists made the women’s cut:Aoife (The Collective), Melt (The Collective), and Rhiannon (The Sirens).Aoife and Rhiannon both favored basic white outfits that shimmered in the club lights and contrasted with their hair.Melt went with a strapless dark dress in russet clan colors.They joined the three men’s contestants, Snyden, EndlessVoid, and Maius for a sizzling run-off, with victory hanging on one’s answer to the simple question, “Why should you win the best-dressed competition?”. Responses ranged from the humble to the haughty.In the end, the loner EndlessVoid won the prize for the men, and Rhiannon walked away with the women’s first place.Each took home 60 million or so, enough for a new wardrobe.Not that they needed it!
Notes:One major improvement this time was having contestants wait in one of the club balconies, rather than the men’s/ladies rooms.It was less stressful, and more enjoyable to watch what everyone else was doing.And it minimized the chance of getting lost for people like me, who have no sense of direction!
