Yule Ball Costume Creation Challenge -closed!!!

Here's mine!

*AmanakaLee*



Well, the blue is for Ravenclaw. The outfit is dressed up enough for the dance, but still pretty low-key. I'm kinda shy. It is pretty mature, too. I tend to look older than I am, except when I am flirting with older guys. Besides, Ravenclaws are studious and should look kind of like librarians. The dog is cute. I have 2 dogs and I love all animals. The fountain and trees are pretty. There is a view of the Hogwarts grounds because I came outside to get some fresh air and to get away from the noise in there. Now I just gotta wait for some handsome guy to stroll out here, too.

Here is mine

This costume represents my house, because of the red colour. It represents the Hogwarts Experience because it's me, and I am a member of the site. The costume reflects my personality because it is quite a simple outfit, it's not too showy, but still looks good. It reflects my inner desire of having hair that will do as it's told!

This dress describes my inner desires by showing inner beauty that has finally shown in a piece of art work, which is this beautiful yellow dress. It shows people that you are elegantly beautiful in a classic dress. This reflects off my house because of this yellow color and it looks like they really had hard work in putting the outfit together. This also shows that Hufflepuff isn't just a hardworking, determined, and strong house, it also shows that they have a soft side to it, which shows alot. This shows the Hogwarts Experience because I am apart of this site and I represent myself in it. This shows my personality by expressing my brightness and how I can be fun at times. It shows alittle dazzle to go with my crazy personality and it shows how I love to sit XD. The dress expresses alot of happiness by its color and design/style. The ears are just there...hmm..I couldn't remove them so I'll explain a reason. I happen to grow ears every now and then which are kitty ears! The kitty ears show how kitty-ish I am and how I'm much in love with those felions(sp?)! The and dress just shows that I'm just being me, which will be expected by others. The backround shows how I love to be all happy and bouncy in the sunlight too xD

Okay where to start, well first the border part of it symbolizes my love for magic and fairy tales.
Hogwarts Experience is my virtual fairy tale, my escape from real life and a place that I love to be. The green emerald jewels embedded on the fairy tale cover respresent Slytherin to me as does my attire. The wings symbolize my freedom of flight into this world where I have fun also representing the freedom of creativity and I don't feel forced to restrict my dreams. I love tackling new challenges and projects in my life. It's like an obsession. I feel like when I can tackle something and succeed at it, that I have these large wings that just open up and lift me off the ground. I feel like I am flying and it is another reason I like to skateboard, being off the ground for just a mere few seconds is thrilling and gives me such a natural high. You feel important, you feel like you can do anything and man just you feel alive!
Oops got sidetracked there for a sec lost in my own little world heh.

Anyway, the dog is my favorite animal. A dog is considered man's best friend and I can see why. They are warm, they can cheer you up and are strong and loyal.
I can also symbolize a dog as being part of my own loyal side.I am loyal to Slytherin, to my friends, and to the Hogwarts experience. Though I am lazy at times, I still try to do what I can to make others happy and proud of me and to prove myself.

Okay, Back to my clothes, which are all black. My reasons for that are I like the dark, and I like mystery. I dress in black a lot though usually when I'm out or at school.

The horns symbolize I have a devilish side to me, that I am arrogant, and also like to be at the top of my game. I get jealous at times and the 'devil' in me likes to express that by tackling a project of the same sort to try to out do others. A flaw but I am not perfect heh.
Now for the mask, it symbolizes a few things. First, it is my place to hide myself. Behind a mask, you can't see my tears and pain and it's a way to hide from what hurts me too. Second, it gives me a sense of security with myself-like a security blanket. It lets me feel safe but yet also lonely. Also it acts as a wall to my emotions, one strong enough, that only a very determined person that really wants to get to know the real me, can break through.
The little red flame-which is actually the skull candle but I didn't realize you couldn't see it so anyway I just call it the little red flame cuz it's all you can see.

The flame symbolizes a few things as well. One is my drive, my drive of passion for everything I do, my strength- For in all of us a fire burns but whether it is just a small candle or a raging inferno is up to us. (My own personal quote there.) And it also symbolizes the good and bad of me from both extremes. The good-The Slytherin in me, determined, taking the inituative to encourage and motivate others and not giving up.
It is my favorite house and the one I admire the most(the other three houses are great too). But in Slytherin I like the colors and the persona of it. I like the way that Slytherin can be arrogant yet tough and show offs. Hey, I will be the first to admit I am a show off and I brag alot. heh. But that is just a small piece of me-well maybe not too small...

There is a soft side of me too though. I open my heart to others and care a lot for them.When they need someone to talk to or listen, I'm there for them becuz they are there for me. Here at the Hogwarts experience, I have found friends from all the houses and I love our close connections here that we have. The Hogwarts Experience is symbolized by the "Tale Fairy" part on my pic.
Next,the competitive part of me. Many of you know this about me first hand. I am both anxious and impatient when it comes to competing with others. No, I am not a sore loser all the time just here and there. But I always admire people who beat me and watch them, study them, learn from them to beat them next time.
And then finally there's the not so good side to me. The jealous, the prideful and arrogant side to me, also the anger and wrath which I'd label as an inferno. Yet though there are different fires burning within me of different intensities, I still maintain to keep control of myself as much as I can. My ways of lashing out lately have been me writing songs, poetry,creating videos, and stuff of the artful nature. At one time-school- I was bad about fighting but thankfully I'm putting those days behind me and moving on.
Okay, sorry got a little off track there..
Anyway, I chose the background carefully for my doll self. I liked it to be dark yet luminated with a softness. Even though I like the darkness, I also welcome the shimmering beams of the moonlight. Well I think that about wraps it up.

I have gone for the fairy tale look to enhance the extravagant (sp?) and fairy tale feel of Hogwarts witchcraft and wizadry. The blue colour of the dress is to symbolise my pride at being within the house of Ravenclaw within the hogwarts experience. The hat symbolises both the fun loving side of my character intwined with the desire for freedom and fun. It also fits in nicely with the fun loving people here on this site and also the site as a whole. It, like me, is different and fun!

okay
here is mine

i think this really describes me
coz i like both colors blue and yellow
so i put them both
and the yellow coulor makes me feel comfortable and its a funny coulor and me my personality i love to laugh and be happy
plus the yellow coulor is the coulor of my house hufflepuff
and i think the whole picture looks like hogwarts experience coz i am in it
and the background looks magically to me

This stunning red outfit represents energy, which I usually have (lol). The bright green eyes represent Slytherin. The money ( i forgot 2 remove that before i saved, lol) represents the weath of slytherin.

This dress (and scene) represents me well. The dress is blue, because that is Ravenclaws, my house, colourand it is a pretty fress, and I like pretty things =D.

The background is purple as that is the colour of the best site in the whole wide world, The Hogwarts Experience.

The guy standing next to me is David Tennant. I love david Tennant, and would love him to take me to the yule ball...wow that sounds sad, but true!

You may wonder why there is a random hamster standing in the grass? Well, I love most animals, especially hamster and especially my hamster kiwi (who looks nothing like the hamster in the picture but oh well). The grass is also there to represent my love of the outdoors and nature.

The blue mask represents ravenclaw and the mysteriousness of each one of us who are at H.E.
The asian style hair represents me in a way because i am korean.The wings are there because i would love to be an angel and i have an erm certain crush on the angel dude in x-men 3 lol.
The red dress is because i desire to love someone and be loved back.
The background represents my love for mystical and fantasy themes and i also love night time.

Here is my version of my Yule Ball gown at Hogwarts.



This lovely picture of myself was as close to what type of dress I would get. As for the girl, I chose her to look as much like me as possible. (Although there was a serious lack of asian hair and faces but I'm not complaining!) LoL. WEll, first off this represents my house because I am all decked out in the famous Hufflepuff color yellow as you can see. And my hair is black for the black in Hufflepuff.

Over my head is a picture of books, words (which I do not understand so don't ask me! lol) and a tea set. This symbolizes how I and others see myself at the Hogwarts Experience. I genrally try to be social and get along with other people on the site, yet spend much of my time doing homework as well as organizing things. As a result I feel that I haven't given it my best in any of those areas because I streched myself too thin before. But there's still time for that change!

And last but not least this photo describes my inner desires and personality in many ways. The beautiful gown, the crown, and the castle in the background shown my inner desires. I long for the perfect princess life. To have fun and have everyday be wonderfully exciting life. I'm a Virgo. This also is with my personality. I'm a perfectionist. Everything should be in it's place and done. And I try to do the best I can when I put my mind to it. Hence the essays I've done to keep Hufflepuff housepoints up! I'm also very determined and competitive. I strive to do the best. Also with the perfect life desires. I suppose what I'm really saying is that my inner desire is to be a typical perfect Mary Sue. LoL. If only someday.
