Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who's the sleuthiest of them all?

Yes, the time has come for the second annual Sleuth Avatar "Beauty" Pageant!!
It’s true, we finally finished sanding the floor and setting up the runway, and we're ready for you to name your favourite nominees for the title. It can be yourself, it can be the detective sitting next to you, it can be the guy or girl you spotted across town, we don't care as long as you nominate the person before Midnight on the 4th of June (Server time).
So comb your hair, shine your shoes, put on some rouge we'll be waiting for you :)

(Additional beauty tips can be gotten from last year's winner, Croesy).

Rules (boring I know, but it makes things easier): MAKE SURE YOU READ THEM
1) You can only enter an avatar, which is already up. If you didn't make it in time for the last batch jskdn fixed, then you'll just have to wait till next year ;)

2) Only subscribed detectives will be able to participate in the final voting – simply to avoid anyone trying to stuff the ballot box. But your votes here will influence the final nominees :)
(however, spamming, bashing and bribes won't be looked on too kindly – well, maybe bribes, especially if they contain chocolate)

“Of course,” Serena exclaims wiping a few errant tears from her cheek, “I would just like to take a few moments to express my gratitude to everyone who helped me achieve this great feat. First, I would like to personally thank each and every one of you who voted for me; I couldn’t have done it without you. You like me, you really like me. And, it goes without saying that I must send a special shoutout to Miss Emerald Drew, without whom I wouldn’t be standing her today. And I must thank Greyling, who’s organizational skills made this event go on without a hitch, and Nikki the Avatar Queen, who took her time to make sure that my face is what it is today. And of course, I wouldn’t be here without Angela New York’s vocal coach extraordinaire, who spent many countless hours working with me to be sure that I made ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ my own. And thanks to Sylvia the Barber who makes my hair look this good. And I must thank Cyrus down at the Tricky Mister, without your liquid courage I wouldn’t have made it on the stage tonight…And, god rest his soul, I thank Cyrus’ dearly departed friend Abdulla Caban, it was his untimely death that made my eveningwear possible. And last, but certainly not least…please join me in thanking Ben without whom none of us would even be here.”

*These words being said Serena takes her victory stroll down the catwalk showing off that staple of pageants everywhere, the characteristic dainty beauty queen wave, as Nikki sings the Sleuth Beauty Pageant theme song.*

On a more serious note, thank you to everyone who voted for me…You really know how to make a newbie feel at home :)

Yay - you went with the tiara!! MY inner debutant/princess wannabe has been aching to see what it looked like :D

To be fair (if somewhat insulting), that tiara should probably suck about -10 smarts out of your pretty Sleuth head. I'm sure Croesy has a complaint or two about how much better your prize is than his :)

Congratulations Serena. May your reign be long and prosperous. May your mascara never run, and your slippers never go out of style.
