What's in Style


by margaret913w

--------

CLOTHING SHOP - Neopets has gone through many fashions over the years. However, most owners just buy a bunch of clothes that don't even MATCH and throw it onto their pets! Isn't it horrible? Jeans and T-shirts are IN right now. Aren't I good at spelling? What? NO! I'M NOT TELLING YOU HOW TO TEACH YOUR PETS TO SPELL! Well, OK, MAYBE later. Anyway, where were we? Oh, yes. Fashion. Come on, let me get on with it! Fashion for all sorts of Neopets, coming right up!

Fashion for Flotsams, Jetsams, Peophins, Kois, and other water Neopets!

Remember, wool is ultra-uncomfortable when wet! Beachwear and swimming skirts, swimming suits, and water shoes are the most comfortable. Don't give your pets socks, underwear, etc. For Jetsams, I'd recommend something that gives them the "Don't mess with me!" look. And whatever you do, please don't give a Jetsam a frilly pink tutu for school. It will hate you for it. Believe me, I've seen what happens! Water Neopets don't need makeup, and besides, it will just wash away in the water! But still GROOM your pets! Is your Jetsam a good fighter? Take very good care of their teeth for REALLY scary chompers!

Fashion for Lupes and Gelerts!

Lupes and Gelerts are confident, loyal pets, and they should look that way! Find clothes that THEY like, so they can feel confident too. Remember to help choose the clothes! But don't get pushy! In order to be extra-sure that BOTH of you like the shirt, pants, etc. bring the Gelert/Lupe along with you! Let's start with the grooming! I've got a step-to-step guide for grooming Gelerts/Lupes! Here it goes...

1) Give your pet a bath! Baths are very hygienic(and fun for baby Neopets when there's toys!) Wash thoroughly with soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc. DO NOT DRY YET!

2) Brush fur. Style as you wish! Here's today's fur-style! Brush fur to the side and give it a scruffy look. Now THAT'S stylish! Always PAT fur dry. Rubbing will ruin the style!

3) Floss, brush, and mouthwash the teeth! Without teeth, your Lupe/Gelert wouldn't live for very long!

4) Dress your pet for the occasion! NOTE:Don't wear high-heels! These are bad for posture! Wear comfy AND pretty shoes!

There, your pet looks pretty enough, doesn't it? No, OK! Time for the make-up, if you really wish. (I don't really like make-up, to tell you the truth.) Time for THAT step-by-step guide:(

1) Add the face powder! Oh, there isn't any? Well then, there should!

2) Eyeshadow time! Have the pet pick the color.

3) Lipstick on Gelert/Lupe won't look good! Go for lip gloss about the same color of their lips!

4) Mascara? OK, if you wish.

There, your pet should look great now! And looking great means feeling great: )

Fashion for Acaras and Cybunnies!

NOTE: These two cute Neopets have very similar structure, so I thought they'd be good in the same category: )

Hey, I love Acaras and Cybunnies! Well, anyway... these pets are both cute, adventurous, and smart, so they must look that way! Give them clothes that they like, but also look good in. There are a lot of clothes in Neopia, and agreeing on the clothes without an argument will boost your pet's confidence! Makeup depends on the color of these pets, and grooming is a must!

Fashion for Usuls!

I think Usuls are very cute! So they should look that way! I have a Usul friend named Usuki! I've brought her over for an interview. Here it goes...

Me: What do you think is stylish these days for Usuls?

U: Definitely summer dresses!

Me: *suspicious look* Are they comfy?

U: Very! Shorts and a T-shirt are IN too!

Me: I like wearing shorts!

U: I do too! Comfy yet they keep you cool!

Me: What kinds of shoes are popular?

U: WHAT?! Barefoot is IN right now, but if you really need shoes, wear flip-flops or sandals! Paint the nails pink or blue.

Me: Thanks for the interview!

U: My pleasure!

Me: Please, can I be in the new Usukiland Advert?

U: We'll have to see...

Me: One last question: What make-up is IN?

U: Lipgloss ONLY in light shades. Nothing else.

Me: Once again, thanks for the interview!

U: Once again, my pleasure!

Bye, Usuki! Have fun at the Usuki doll-making company! Isn't Usuki nice?

Fashion for Nimmos!

Nimmos are spirited creatures who meditate a lot, so they should wear what they want to be stress-free. I don't care if they're wearing frilly pink tutus to the Marketplace, just let them wear what they want! For makeup, give them lipstick, eyeshadow, nail polish, etc. Nimmos are the kind that can wear anything!

Fashion for Shoyrus and Scorchios!

These pets are hard to dress because of their wings. So, in the shirt/dress, you need to cut holes where the wings will go. For the makeup, add what is necessary for your pet (lipstick? powder? etc.) GROOMING IS A MUST FOR SHOYRUS/SCORCHIOS! Remember to brush their teeth, brush the bit of fur they have, and give them baths!

Fashion for Korbats!

Korbats are cute little nocturnal critters, so they need dark clothes! They need proper grooming care and makeup. Korbats like dark colors, so give them black makeup!

Fashion for Aishas!

These cute Neopets seem to like dressing up! Buy them a costume, preferably fancy. Grooming is essential for Aishas, so GROOM THEM EVERY DAY! Makeup is up to the pet. Expect to see a new Princess Sankara though, if you know what I mean.

Fashion for Yurbles!

These are very playful and cute! They need to look adorable, because they are! But please, DON'T give them baby clothes! Makeup should be kept nice and simple. Like some lip gloss and light eyeshadow. Again, let the Yurble pick it's clothes and let it pick the make-up. Pick ordinary clothes for playtime, and don't panic if they get dirty:)

More Neopets will be added soon, but here's a quick list of extra fashion tips...

1)Hair spray and dye are bad for the hair/fur. They dry it out.

2)Buy a sparkly nail polish along with other colors. Put on blue(for example) then add the sparkles! Beautiful!

3)Not that it will happen, but if you see blood in the thing that stores earrings, then DO NOT WEAR THE EARRINGS!!!! It happened to one of my friends once.

4)Try not to add TOO much lip gloss or you wouldn't see lip, you'd see gloss.

5)Express yourself! Dare to be different!

There you go, a nice little list of things, don't you think? Have fun on Neopets, and remember to avoid fashion disasters!
