			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since many of you copy, trace, and steal you work from other places I have decided to take your work down until I can figure out who has been breaking the law and who has not.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully the designs will be back up within a week or two.</p>
<p>Please go to this <a href="http://bimbobin.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&amp;t=1174">thread</a> if you are designer and want your work back up on the site, now. You can also read part of the thread below:</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">What is <span style="color: #ff0000;">infringement</span> and what is <span style="color: #99cc00;">&#8220;inspiration&#8221;</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #99cc00;">Inspiration &#8211; What it is and how we use it</span></strong></p>
<p>1. an inspiring or animating action or influence <em>[you witness something that inspires you to make or do something]</em><br />
2. something inspired, as an idea. <em>[you have a random idea to make something or do something]</em><br />
3. a result of inspired activity <em>[you participate in a activity that inspires you to make or do something]</em><br />
4. a thing or person that inspires. <em>[you get inspired by a person, animal, plant, object, etc - or most commonly another piece of art or photo]</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;">When it comes to making art, I think it would be safe to say that most inspiration comes from other art, photos, or ideas.</span></p>
<p><em>Just so you know &#8211; To be inspired by art, it does NOT mean you copy the design perfectly. If your design piece looks just like whatever you are copying, it&#8217;s not inspiration, it&#8217;s copying&#8230; The MissBimbo editing community has taught us all that it is ok to copy something directly and that it is ok to just call it &#8220;inspiration&#8221;. Well it is not &#8220;inspiration&#8221;.</em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #99cc00;">Inspiration is when you take an idea or ideas and use them to come up with your own piece of art.</span></strong></p>
<p>When it comes to all the designs that are at Nines now, most of them are just replica drawings of real life clothes. I repeat, this is not what the definition of inspiration is, as much as MissBimbo tells us. So, the term I would use for these designs are: Replica, Reproduction, or Imitation</p>
<p>These reproductions of fashion you will find at Nines are usually not infringing on any copyrights &#8211; however they are still not original pieces of art. The same goes for others who are now submitting designs to Nines, and all the MissBimbo clothing designs that are on BimboBin. Many of them are small digital replicas of real fashion design, but it does not necessarily mean that they are breaking any laws by existing.</p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #99cc00;">Design is not inspiration if is just like the original design down to the last detail. So please everyone, I ask you to stop using the term &#8216;inspiration&#8217; for these copies of art and start calling them &#8220;replicas&#8221;, &#8220;reproductions&#8221;, or &#8220;imitations&#8221;. It will make everything a whole lot clearer to understand if we start using the proper terminology. Thank you!</span></strong></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Infringement &#8211; What it is and how to avoid it</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">&#8220;Infringement of a copyright involves the copying of a material and substantial portion of the protected work. If the alleged infringer denies copying, the copyright holder may be able to prove infringement with circumstantial evidence of the infringer&#8217;s access to the protected work and of similarities between the two works.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">To avoid copyright infringement:</span></strong><br />
1. Do not trace others work and call it your own and display it publicly. Tracing privately for practice is perfectly fine.<br />
2. If you must trace, trace only parts of other works. Very small parts. So small that it is so insignificant that no infringement is committed.<br />
3. Don&#8217;t take images from the internet and paste your username on them, claiming you made them.<br />
4. It&#8217;s fine to be inspired by others artwork, but if your final piece of art looks too similar in colors, shapes, elements, texture, pattern, etc it could very well be considered infringement. So be careful, take your time and make something original.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I know that Idril has inspired many to start editing, so I think that she is very deserving to this award! Her edits are always awe-worthy and not one is unkind to the eye &#8211; in fact much the opposite! The detail in her work never ceases to amaze me, even in her most simplest of works, and for that, I think, is why she won this award.</p>
<p>But she didn&#8217;t win it just for that reason, below you will find out that she has a lovely sense of humour and seems very kind (Not to mention an awesome music taste, in my opinion), along with a slight obsession with pirates. So I&#8217;m sure that you&#8217;ll all enjoy this interview with her!</p>

<em>(of course I’m a little bit crazy, too. In a good way, I hope )</em></p>
<h1>Interview:</h1>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How long have you been a member of MissBimbo?</strong></span> <em>936 game days (a big achievement for me, as I easily get bored with internet games).</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s your favorite aspect of MissBimbo?</strong></span><em> Forums and editing contests, and all the great artists I found there.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How long have you been editing?</strong></span> <em>According to the date my computer writes near one of my very first edits, I started approximately around the 27/03/2009.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What inspired you to start editing?</strong></span> <em>Well, when it comes to art and creativity, I consider myself a person who likes exploring a lot. Add the fact that I had just started using Photoshop and that I was absolutely dazzled by all the possibilities it offered me and…bang! I started editing clothes on the bimbo doll.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1684" title="updojuleona" src="http://bimbobin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/updojuleona.png" alt="" width="361" height="397" />What inspired you to start making backgrounds?</strong></span> <em>Actually my inspiration – and not only mine, I think – was Arialvetica. I always found her backgrounds were incredible, and wanted to give it a try myself.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Do you edit your backgrounds from scratch? Or start with a base image?</strong></span><em> I often start with a base image, or other times I combine more images to obtain what I want.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s your favorite thing about editing?</strong></span> <em>It’s actually very funny, and never boring, and that’s enough!</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What artistic outlets do you have outside of MissBimbo? </strong></span><em>I like drawing a lot, even if I still need to get better. And I enjoy writing, too, and creating my own jewelry items. Lastly, I started university this year, where I’m studying Graphic Design, and I find it soooo exciting!</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s your favorite thing to edit? </strong></span> <em>Uhm…I don’t know! I like faces because they take less time, I enjoy a lot creating poses (don’t like to recolour them, though ), and I find it very interesting creating clothes. Hair are nice to do, too.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How did you come up with your screen name?</strong></span> <em>With a “Create your elf name and bla bla blah” generator. Idril meant “Amore”, the italian word for “love”, and 92 is just my birth year.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How long does an edit generally take you?</strong></span> <em>From 2 to 5 hours, depends if I have to create everything (pose, hair, clothing etc.) or not.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What sort of color palette do you prefer to work with?</strong></span> <em>I don’t actually think I have a favourite colour palette, as I always try to create my items in a wide variety of colours, but I do like darker tones more.</em><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1683" title="riyaa13contest" src="http://bimbobin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/riyaa13contest.png" alt="" width="252" height="446" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How would you describe your style of editing?</strong></span><em> Well, I try to keep my shadowing style quite similar to the one we have in Nine’s. But for what regards editing style…I don’t know? I suppose something between fantasy and a little bit of gothic. Can I have a “Ask the Audience” option?</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What sort of things do you do to improve your editing?</strong></span><em> I like seeing what other people do, I like to learn from different styles, and I also like to look at tutorials, not just about editing, but art in general.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What editors do you admire on MB and why?</strong></span><br />
<em>Ok, I’m not going to bore you with a long paragraph of names…oh I admit it, actually I will.</em><br />
<em>Well, to start off, I’ll name KcPooh13, Misholina and Mackiesmommy2007. We practically began together editing – or at least, they were there when I began – and I always saw them as some sort of models to me, with a little bit of competitiveness, too, but in a good way, always aiming for improvement and not rivalry. Arialvetica was pretty much like a goddess of editing to me when I first started (and she still is!). Ann Madison – the same goes for her incredible skills. For what concerns Maynababy, Juleona and Alyssamoon: guys, you came out from one day to the other, and you were already so good! I’m always looking forward to see what you’ll come up with next! Scarletcore, Misscox, Riyaa13, Kairuh, Jelena19: I always love how their editing styles managed to look so clean and flawless. Horatia, I always loved her gothic style, and she’s also a lovely Mod! Hip89: she was already good when she just used Paint to edit, now I love her work even more. Blksnobunnie, I absolutely love her fashion sense and her editing skills. Trillyke, she’s such a lovely person, and I adore her edits, so colorful! Marioo, her edits are so shiny! WhimsicalRingtone, her hairstyles are just too good, and her edits so realistic! Nebby, too, her artistic skills are formidable. Alexzus, the clothes she got in Nine’s were fantastic, and her style is really great. Oogie, love her use of patterns and her beautiful gowns. Pr1nc3sskaylee, her Pin Ups and her shadowing method are stunning. MysteriousPanda99, Sapharii, Ibelievenangel, you are all incredible girls, and you improved so much since you arrived!</em><br />
<em>I’m sure I forgot something, but…wow, seems like I wrote too much! The essential thing is that I admire every single editor of this site, just because you exist! *-*</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong><img class="alignleft  wp-image-1682" title="nhialdrago" src="http://bimbobin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/nhialdrago.png" alt="" width="451" height="438" /></strong></span><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What editing program do you use?</strong></span> <em>I use Adobe Photoshop cs5.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Where do you get your inspiration for edits?</strong></span> <em>I like looking through google images.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How do you come up with the ideas for your backgrounds?</strong></span> <em>I just think about enviroments I would like to see my bimbo in. The stranger they are, the funnier it is to recreate my ideas!</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Is there any sort of genre you prefer to edit in?</strong></span> <em>I like fantasy a lot!</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What advice do you have for new editors?</strong></span> <em>First of all: have fun! Never give up even if you’re at your first tries, and your results are not what you hoped. You’ll get better soon, nobody’s born perfect. And ask for advice. There are loads of editors ready to answer to your doubts and help you! And… I know a lot of people already said this…but work on layers! And save your work very often, don’t do like me.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s the most important thing you’ve learned about editing?</strong></span> <em>You can never tell if your edit is going to be horrible until it’s finished, so I’ve learnt to actually never look at my edit crithically until I add the last touches. Then, if it is really that horrible, you can burn it.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How many hours a week do you spend on edits for MB?</strong></span> <em>This varies a lot from time to time. Sometimes I do not edit for a whole month, and then I go all crazy about it again and spend way too much time on editing.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Hello friends and bimbos!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I hope you are all ready for Christmas! I know I am! To celebrate the holiday season BimboBin will be having a variety of events and goodies for you to enjoy. To start, we present to you the first BimboBin advent calendar! Every day starting December 1st until Christmas a new BimboBin resource item will be reveled to you. The resources will be created by some of your favorite BimboBin designers. Every day a new design is released, but you can only get it that day! After the day has gone by, the design will be taken down from the site until December 26th &#8211; when all designs will be released for good. So be sure to check this blog post every day to see the new design resource and any other updates (I will be editing this post with new information concerning Christmas BimboBin contests and events).</p>

<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How long have you been a member of MissBimbo? </strong></span><em>I&#8217;ve been on and off of MB few times before. But I stuck this time for 515.</em><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1534" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial;" title="GlamorousDress-Juleona" src="http://bimbobin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/GlamorousDress-Juleona.png" alt="" width="280" height="400" /><br />
<span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s your favorite aspect of MissBimbo? </strong></span><em>Drawing and designing.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How long have you been editing? </strong></span><em>I don&#8217;t Edit Since I do everything from scartch. I&#8217;ve started with computer graphics almost 5 years now.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What inspired you to start editing? </strong></span><em>When I came back to MB I didn&#8217;t know people started to do contest and edit or draw. One of my friends there suggested that I praticipate on an anime contest. I thought I had to cosplay my bimbo. I was at an early level, so, not enough bd. My friend told me I could edit. I took editing literally. I thought I had to edit an existing item cause it&#8217;s the way it&#8217;s done there. So, I made something with few items used from nines. I didn&#8217;t take the whole thing seriously at the time and most of the things I made were speedies. But after a while when I understood that I have the freedom to do whatever I want, I began to take it seriously and take the time to create my designs.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What inspired you to start making backgrounds? </strong></span><em>Well, even though I only made one, I&#8217;d say that MB doll is what inspired me.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Do you edit your backgrounds from scratch? Or start with a base image?</strong> </span><em>I draw everything myself. Editting has to be on an existing media. I wish if we would use edit more specifically.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s your favorite thing about editing? </strong></span><em>I get to finish it in short time compared to painting.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1533" title="DaryaBarbie-Juleona" src="http://bimbobin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DaryaBarbie-Juleona.png" alt="" width="212" height="439" /><strong>What artistic outlets do you have outside of MissBimbo? </strong></span><em>Drawing, painting, designing fashion and jewelry.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s your favorite thing to edit? </strong></span><em><span style="color: #99cc00;">IE faces, poses, backgrounds, clothing, hair, etc…</span> I don&#8217;t know. each one complement the other to me. except for backgrounds. I&#8217;d rather do one when I want to use it. It needs more work and I have to be in the mood ^^&#8221;</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How did you come up with your screen name? </strong></span><em>It&#8217;s a combination of my favourite Tekken girls&#8217; names.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How long does an edit generally take you? </strong></span><em>It depends on what I&#8217;m working on. Maybe 6 hours at least.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What sort of color palette do you prefer to work with? </strong></span><em>Any, except neon colors. I don&#8217;t use them a lot and when I do, it have to in small doeses!</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How would you describe your style of editing? </strong></span><em>I had to sit back here and think&#8230; I don&#8217;t know.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What sort of things do you do to improve your editing? </strong></span><em>Anything. If I have to mess everything up to fix one thing I&#8217;ll do it and then re-eorganize it all over again. I&#8217;d rather experiment and take my time with what I do. I like to read and wacth tutorials from time to time too. I also like to look at my work for few minuts from sometimes. It helps me see my mistakes so I can try to fix and avoid them in the future.</em><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1535" title="vintage-smallcopy" src="http://bimbobin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/vintage-smallcopy.png" alt="" width="266" height="417" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What editors do you admire on MB and why? </strong></span><em>MaynaBaby. she has a very unique style. I like her coloring tecnique and how she always thinks outside the box. Jelena19, I admire how she has improved in a short amount of time. her hairstyles are beautifully detailed. Her colthes are always perfectly done. Alb, I used to stalk her to see if she made something new. Hated the fact that she has no blog. Glad she&#8217;s on DA! Addidut, I could deiscribe her work with one word &#8220;classy&#8221;. I also like work from others like Alexzus, Scarletcore,</em><em> MM07, Blksnobunnie, MissCox, Trillyke. They all are talented and each has there own distinctive style. it&#8217;s hard to get into details with</em><em> everyone (lazeh). There are more ofcourse. Can&#8217;t remember everyone!</em></p>
<div><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What editing program do you use? </strong></span><em>Photoshop CS3.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Where do you get your inspiration for edits? </strong></span><em>Imagination, nature, histroy, colors.</em></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How do you come up with the ideas for your backgrounds? </strong></span><em>I was working on a new background lately and this is how I think ofwhat should do. I work on the doll first and after it&#8217;s done, I think of what sort of inviornment she would fit into. considering her outfit, makeup and pose. if I want her into a closed space, like a room, I&#8217;ll have to look for furniture for inspiration. if I want her into a garden, I look for picture of flowers, trees etc&#8230;</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Is there any sort of genre you prefer to edit in?  </strong></span><em>Historical, fantasy, haute couture. I also like to create simple and ordinary clothes.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What advice do you have for new editors? </strong></span><em>Don&#8217;t hold yourself back. keep trying and experimenting. and most of all be creative. Don&#8217;t follow someones&#8217; footsteps all the time. Express yourself and do what you like, not what people like.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s the most important thing you’ve learned about editing? </strong></span><em>I enjoy it more than I thought I would.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>H</strong><strong>ow many hours a week do you spend on edits for MB? </strong></span><em>Can&#8217;t say really.</em></p>

<p>You must have at least heard of the almighty Oogie or seen some of her beautiful works, and I&#8217;m sure many of you love her as much as I do! Oogie has a very unique style and I think my favourite things about her work are her poses and how much detail she puts into her edits, which really does take effort and time. I&#8217;m sure many people admire her for that too!</p>

<h2>Interview:</h2>
<div>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How long have you been a member of MissBimbo?</strong></span><em> Over 800 days<br />
</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s your favorite aspect of MissBimbo?</strong></span> <em>The people</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How long have you been editing?</strong></span> <em>It was around 214 days that I started</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What inspired you to start editing?</strong></span><em> I don&#8217;t actually remember (which seems odd concerning my previous answer but that&#8217;s how my mind works)</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What inspired you to start making backgrounds?</strong></span> <em>I don&#8217;t really. I find it highly frustrating.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Do you edit your backgrounds from scratch? Or start with a base image?</strong></span> <em>From scratch I think, I dunno I haven&#8217;t done one in a while.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s your favorite thing about editing?</strong></span> <em>It&#8217;s cleansing. It gives me room to think.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What artistic outlets do you have outside of MissBimbo?</strong></span> <em>None really, I used to draw but I&#8217;ve lost the fine motor skills necessary for it.</em></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Ogie" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bDNS6kUrzXA/ToEiX6kPTtI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/JbOIJP02Apg/s1600/pink+ballroom+dress.png" alt="" width="350" height="430" /><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s your favorite thing to edit?</strong></span> P<em>oses. I dislike the others more. To tell you the truth I absolutely hate every pose and edit I finish, I end up getting frustrated and my pain level raises which makes me hate it more. It&#8217;s often only when I look back at them that I see merit in them. (I never said that I needed thought good things when I edit.) </em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How did you come up with your screen name?</strong></span> <em>Pigeon was taken, and I didn&#8217;t think I could get away with Pigeonsgift (it means bird poo) so I walked into my sister&#8217;s room and saw her big glow-in-the-dark Oogie Boogie. (and Oogie Boogie, Oogie_Boogie was taken and I forgot to put a capital &#8220;o&#8221; on Oogie *regret*)</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How long does an edit generally take you?</strong></span> <em>It feels like years, it can take from 2 hours to 2 days depending on my hands, not the complexity of the edit.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What sort of color palette do you prefer to work with?</strong></span> <em>Black and white is what I&#8217;m comfortable with. I tend to have to ask for other palettes (many thanks to all those who have helped me, I know I can be terribly annoying)</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How would you describe your style of editing?</strong></span> <em>People say it&#8217;s Oogie-ish. Which makes me laugh, at first I assumed that I was being a grumpybum again, then it was applied to my edits. But I checked UD and found out what Oogie means -  It means terribly ugly. So that&#8217;s my style, Oogie-ish.<img class="alignright" title="Oogie" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pWdnt3sgjgQ/Tn-qYbgxC1I/AAAAAAAAAjM/4nastaXK870/s1600/winterball.png" alt="" width="400" height="500" /></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What sort of things do you do to improve your editing?</strong></span><em> I always compare my edits to similar edits of my favourite editors where possible. They always have brilliant new and different ways to achieve their edits. I&#8217;ve also sneakily befriended some so that I can sneak their hints and tips without them getting annoyed&#8230;</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What editors do you admire on MB and why?</strong></span> <em>Oh this is gonna take a while. Mackiesmommy is a doll and has impeccable techiques. Kcpooh is wonderful both in personality and detail. Maynababy transforms normality into cuteness and little squeals. Horatia&#8217;s edits are very precise, and it looks like she doesn&#8217;t put a foot wrong. Ilanah is wonderful but is grossly under-confident in her skills. Mariio is very eye catching, and I can&#8217;t figure out how she does it. Foxi is amazing, like the fabric is real. Misholina is fantastic and very forgiving when she pairs up with a n00b editor (me), for some reason I always think of Trillyke as being cute. Idril is amazing, I don&#8217;t understand why I get this interview before her. Sapharii can do such varied edits. Alyssamoon is a dark horse, you just kinda appeared and I kinda dislike you (just a little bit) for being so fantastic so quickly. MDC is one of the first editors I remember clearly, because I&#8217;ve always liked looking </em><em>at your edits. ALB is as weird as me *little hearts*. BSB is astonishing, and to do it in so </em><em>few layers *jealous*. I&#8217;m terribly bored now, so I&#8217;m just gonna list some names, it&#8217;s not that </em><em>I don&#8217;t like you as much as the others it&#8217;s just that I&#8217;m lazy: HIP, Chantillylace, IBA, Missyfrutillitas, MP, Nebby, Rikee69, Scarletcore, Whimsicalringtone, Wachout, Spiderella&#8230;I&#8217;m sorry if I&#8217;ve left someone out.</em></p>

<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Where do you get your inspiration for edits?</strong></span><em> dA, often they start off as copies and I find that I&#8217;ve done something tragic and have to rescue it, which transforms it.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How do you come up with the ideas for your backgrounds?</strong></span><em> It&#8217;s usually things that make me smile that I adapt.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Is there any sort of genre you prefer to edit in?</strong></span>  <em>erm, I dunno. &#8220;Oogie-ish?&#8221;</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What advice do you have for new editors?</strong></span> <em>When you have the basics down (visiting tutorials etc) try sketching your plan before starting. It makes the logistics so much easier to work out without losing a lot of work. Also visiting blogs and spying on the competion is also a good (but slightly evil) thing to do.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What’s the most important thing you’ve learned about editing?</strong></span> <em>Edit for kicks not to win. That is the only way you can get enough practise to get good enough to actually win anything.</em></p>

<p>Vote for your favorite designs for each category!</p>
<p>The Summer Ball was originally started by Hethxxx early this summer.</p>
<p>These are the summer ball designs, the ball has now turned into more of a &#8220;Halloween Costume Ball&#8221; because summer is well.. over. And, Halloween and the BimboBin Magazine &#8211; Halloween edition is coming up. These designs will be featured in the magazine, and the winners will be featured there as well &#8211; with coressponding interviews.</p>
<p>Only one person can win for each category (no one can win twice for the 5 themed categories). So if someone wins for most sexy, then most creative &#8211; the second place winner for creative will win for that category instead. If someone wins for a category, they can however win &#8220;overall favorite&#8221; as well. Please be fair, and choose the best design for each category!  Tell your friends on MissBimbo to come and vote too!!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Note*</span></p>
<p><span><span style="color: #ff0000;">The order of the gallery is backwards from the poll answers. (Number 25 &#8211; which is the last number on the polls &#8211; is displayed first). Sorry for this inconvenience but please keep it in mind when you go down and choose your favorites for each category!</span></span></p>

<p>Mariio has grown quickly into an amazing artist for MissBimbo and inspires others to be like her. I think one of the best things about Mariio is her determination to keep on improving her edits all of the time, and the amount of effort she puts into them! Obviously, this shows in her amazing edits, which hold a wide variety of different themes and imagination.<br />
I often talk to Mariio and I can honestly say that she’s an amazing person and friend, always willing to help her friends, the MissBimbo and BimboBin community and more, and never lets anything keep her down! Her hyperactive moods always pass on to other people and she keeps an awesome atmosphere wherever she is. So let’s see what she has to say!</p>

<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What inspired you to start editing?</strong></span> <em>I was looking for the games thread once and I accidentally clicked on the editing thread, I saw one of MackiesMommy2007’s edits<a href="http://bimbobin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/erwer.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1349" title="erwer" src="http://bimbobin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/erwer.png" alt="" width="178" height="459" /></a><br />

So, she made it up by combining her name with one of my nick names!</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How long does an edit generally take you?</strong></span> <em>I always have the BimboBin chat opened when I edit so I get distracted all the time! But I would say around one to four hours&#8230; Maybe more!</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What sort of color palette do you prefer to work with?</strong></span> <em>Pink and purple! They’re both really easy to work with and there’s so many tones that you can use!</em></p>

<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What sort of things do you do to improve your editing?</strong></span> <em>I try many different shading techniques; If you look at my edits I always change my technique and try to improve my skills every time.

<p><em>Jelena19, Missyfrutillitas, Angelique le Boursier, Alyssamoon and Halienna’s edits are just well… mind-blowing, unbelievable and incredibly unique! Sorry for all of the exclamation marks and the Caps . If I forgot somebody, I’m really sorry!</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>What editing program do you use?</strong></span> <em>Photoshop CS5! Hehe</em></p>

<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>How do you come up with the ideas for your backgrounds?</strong></span> <em>I just look outside on the window and keep staring until something comes to my mind!</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Is there any sort of genre you prefer to edit in?</strong></span><em> Steam Punk and fantasy! Especially mermaids and fairies.. Okay, not fairies.. XD</em></p>
