YAAY!!! :D I actually know stuff this time :D Coast over this if you want to move on spoiler-free :)

Answers:
1. Riza Hawkeye (T=0, S=4, C=(-1))

2. croesy2002 (6, -1, -1)

3. 8 items with "black" in their name:
Black Mink Coat
Black Fishnet Gloves
Black Lace Ups
Black Dress Shoes
Black Military Boots
Black Trench Coat
Black and White Feather Hat
Black Strap Pumps

4. Fez---Toughness = 1, Smarts = 0, Charm = 1

5. Sailor Hat (-4, 3, 2)

BONUS: I can't believe it took some time for it to hit me, but of course it is the inimitable RASPUTIN'S EGG! :D

6. Purple (5, 4, (-1))

7. Seven...though only two look like actual Hats...

8. Twelve

9. Plaid Scarf

10. and BONUS: Problem here...max score I can find is 9, with a lot of competition...
there's the Magic Top Hat (3, 3, 3): Some 9 people have this hat, including Akano, Remington Steel, Heigh Leigh Irregulars, Sleuth Admin, Jojo, Nichols Ardenwart, Captain Krishna and Mojo...oh boy.
There's Daenerys Targaryen's Elegant Kaftan(5, -2, 6), Ser Tyrion Lannister's and Lord Jon Snow's Cardigans(4, 0, 5), ShaggyMia's Dagger of Horus(6, 4, -1)...I think that's about it...

So unless there's an item with a total of 10, I don't think there's only one recipient anywhere :)
*blinks*
*searches for items with a score of 10*

oh oops so sorry due date was a cupla days ago - I put it in my iCal 22nd.

Heh I could be lazy and say hey there was only one competitor, and therefore the winner is Bela, so answers aren't important, but let me see if I can find them...
