Babydoll Photo Contest Winners!

The winning photos from the Best Babydoll Outfit Photo Contest we've been running for members of my Forced Feminization group at MyDungeonSpace, can be see below, together with comments by contestants, judges and Mistresses.

Great pix were submitted by all the contestants and the judges - Miss Bonnie, Alice and myself - had enormous fun judging the sexiest and most stylish outfits, albeit with of course the forced feminization bias noted by Alice: "I was impressed by the effort, creativity and elegance that went into all the submissions. I think there was a little bias by the judges for a slightly slutty look as well as nice bottoms, perhaps something to consider for future comps!".

The standard of images was very high, and really rewarding to judge and we appreciated everyone's efforts - something that the winner (quall) points out in his "thank you" post: "[the other contestants'] pics were so artful and beautiful that they forced me to create ideas, and make my best shots. I congratulate the others who won the special prizes".

For quall and all the contestants, this contest was less about the prize, and more about the journey - as chance observed in a recent post about the contest "you could feel the joy emanating from the other contestants as they described their shopping / picture taking experiences. Very positive feelings". Chance himself experienced "all kinds of emotions during this contest ... it was bizarre and different and provocative. A rich experience. i couldn't ask for more".

Nor could I; it was an honour to share in this. And I look forward to the next journey / contest we all take together (the next contest will be in June - join MyDungeonSpace and come say hello to me there, or join my Forced Fem group, if you'd like to take part).

Thank you again to everyone who competed, to the Mistresses who so generously gave their time, and especially Miss Bonnie and Alice, who really enjoyed judging far too much!

WINNER
quall

"for the spirit and the look of the competition, quall won hands down" (Alice)

Quall scored highest, broke no contest rules, and entered a great range of photos - wearing recognizable babydoll styles - that were judged sexy and stylish.

In two photos he is shown from the back, lying on a couch (with a very nice bit of bottom showing). The judges appreciated the "artiness (especially achieved on his own)" (Alice) of these shots, and the fact there were no distracting backgrounds.

We loved the way quall described his pale pink outfit : "I have chosen a small size to have a tight fit on my body".

Of his standing photo - where he wears a frilly black and pink baby doll with matching g string, his tummy showing - he writes "the front view is so nice that leaves the belly open, and make a kinky view on male body : )". The judges agreed lol. This photo was the our favorite "by far" (Alice): "Look at him, flaunting himself, with his hands on his hips, that S curve to his body ... what a tart" (Ms160). "I instantly loved it ... I like my sissies to either be conservative or very tarty and he fits into the latter!" (Alice).

Although slightly out of focus, this image was beautifully balanced and lit. It "absolutely captures what this contest was all about, and the potential of the babydoll style for great feminization imagery" (Ms160). "quall has put a great deal of effort and thought into ... what would appeal to us as Dommes, he used the lingerie to his advantage" (Miss Bonnie).

The judges are therefore delighted to award quall Winner of The Babydoll Outfit Contest, and look forward very much to his entries in future contests!

Quall's "thank you" post read:

"I would like to thank all the judges for choosing me the winner of the competition. And a special thanks to Mistress160 for making me involved by her invitation. I am really proud of winning this one though the part I loved [most was] participating. I loved every single moment of choosing the outfits, making shopping, deciding on shots, taking photos, and posting them.

Also I would like to say something to other contestants: Their pics were also artful and beautiful that they force me to create ideas, and make my best shots. I congratulate the others who win the special prizes. I'll always love to participate in contests like this, and would like to thank everyone who made all possible".

HIGHLY COMMENDED (FOR INNOVATION)
Mont202

"Love those marabou slippers as well" (Alice)

Mont202's photos provide a "perfect example of how this contest can be used to reflect a sub contestant's personality and kinks" (Ms160).

Mont's decision to wear one of his zentai suits under a wonderfully tarty " satin purple old fashioned babydoll" (Alice) outfit (complete with fluffy slippers) had the judges "in stitches" (MissBonnie). We applauded his "color co-ordination, originality and effort" (Alice) and 'outside' of the box thinking" (MissBonnie), and also loved the fact that his photos /poses told a story: of a sub who is punished after failing to serve drinks correctly.

Mont would have been a contender for winner if he'd not lost marks for mislabeling his photos + not posting a message to say they'd been uploaded (his photos were nearly missed by the judges). Instead, we are delighted to reward his terrific efforts to mix his own kinks (enclosure /zentai suit / gags / bondage etc) with those of the contest (forced fem / the babydoll) with The Highly Commended (for Innovation) Prize.

Mont202 wrote in his "thank you" post:

"thank you so much for the wonderfully kind words from Mistress160, Miss Bonnie and Alice. I also have to thank Jadetiger for her help, even though she too laughed at my outfit, lol. I had fun doing this and I learned a great deal. "make sure to follow directions" damn it! Congratulations to all the participants, its was a good showing indeed. Some wonderful pictures and some lovely tarts".

HIGHLY COMMENDED (COUPLES)
denied and MsAlice

"The matching hot pink nail polish with the sandals is a nice touch" (Alice)

This is a new award category, created to cover the contest entries we received from couples, with clear Mistress participation (which fell outside of contest rules). All these couples joined MDS and the Forced Fem group specifically to take part in this contest. We welcome them to the site and the group, and hope they will join future contests here as well!

The three contestants in this category were Aradia's Whore / Aradia, chance / Destiny and denied / Ms Alice (no relation to Alice the judge). This was a tough choice. The judges sincerely appreciated the hard work that went into these lovely photo shoots whose overall results were indeed "sexy and stylish". However judges still had to take into account their primary directive of first judging the outfit as sexy/stylish and then the sub in the outfit.

We loved the elegance and style of Aradia's Whore's photos but the fact that all three images were the same pose and that that pose (from the back, from above) made it impossible to see the three different outfits (which was a problem because the outfits appeared more camis / French knickers than babydoll) . We have awarded Aradia's Whore an individual photo prize.

The judges found chance's photos to be "fantastic shots, well directed" (Miss Bonnie), "very well shot and artistic" (alice) and "beautifully lit, with a marvellous range of poses. The end results were subtle, very pretty photos, very flattering to the sub" (Ms160). Unfortunately, the camera angles concealed the neckline of his one elegant cream outfit, and the judges were not sure it was a babydoll. We have awarded chance an individual photo prize.

Denied's photos were less evocative and more straight forward in presentation (with two poses standing from the front and one, leaning over a table, from behind). However this allowed his three different outfits - all recognizable babydolls - to be clearly seen and commented upon by the judges: "I particularly like the black and hot pink (with the pom poms) bottom shot" (Alice), "great shots" (Miss Bonnie) and "classic babydolls, from his hot pink fluffy pom poms to the gauze tummy cover of his pale pink and black number. I also love the juxtaposition of soft frilly babydoll outfits with his heavy cold steel slave collar" (Ms160).

Denied would have been a strong contender for overall contest winner if contest rules (re registering / posting) had not been broken, so the judges are absolutely delighted to be able to award denied and MsAlice, the Highly Commended (Couples) Prize.

MsAlice and denied (Denise) later posted: "[we] want to congratulate the participants and the judges of the baby doll contest. The whole procedure was really fun! An idea for next contest: "Sissies in bikini swimsuits" (outdoors shooting!)". Sounds like a great theme to us!

INDIVIDUAL PHOTO AWARDS

SPECIAL ARTISTIC AWARD:
chance: pic 1 and 2 (tie)

Chance's photos were "seriously scrumptious: beautifully lit, with a marvellous range of poses. The end results were subtle, very pretty photos, very flattering to the sub" (Ms160). A single, elegant outfit was featured - cream slip, g string, white stockings and "a whimsical change of footwear" (Ms160). The poses - featuring back, from above and a detail of his right stocking - were "fantastic shots, well directed" (Miss Bonnie) and "very well shot and artistic" (Alice).

The judges are very pleased to award chance and his Mistress, Destiny, the contest's Special Artistic Award. Destiny later posted:

"I would like to say thank you to Mistress 160, Bonnie and Alice for their time and for chances award. It was a lot of fun for us and chance loves his new baby doll set very much, so he is happy. An award and a new babydoll set, he is such a spoiled creature. I would also like to congratulate all the winners, stand up .. go ahead ... deep curtsy. The care and effort was evident"

The judges agree. chance wrote:

"What fun. Thank You to Mistress 160 and to the other judges Miss Bonnie and Alice for their excellent contest. Mistress and i had a great time reading the judges thoughtful comments and comparing the pictures. We thought they were dead on in their assessments. i congratulate the other winners and everyone who entered. the pictures were fun to look at and it sounds like we all had a good time taking them. Quall did a fine job and was well deserving of overall winner. Thank you again and Mistress and i look forward to similar contests".

So do we!

Chance has also written some interesting posts relating to his experience of the contest - and on the subject of forced feminization - which I highly recommend. You will find links in the Reference List at the end of the doc.

MOST ELEGANT SUB AWARD:
Aradia's Whore in Red Baby Doll

The terms "stylish" and "elegant" appeared again and again in judges' discussion of Aradia's Whore's photos:

"stylistic, well taken shots" (Miss Bonnie)
"really elegant" (Ms160)
"stylish, nice shots" (Alice),
with this particular photo being described as: "beautifully dressed hair, exquisite scarlet silk clothes, a lovely elegant sub resting on her Persian carpet. She looks like she is about to fly into some magical Arabian Nights." (Ms160).

The judges therefore present the Most Elegant Sub Award to Aradia's Whore and his Lady, Aradia.

Aradia later posted "I am so pleased and proud of My whore. he is such a wonderful slave, and now he has an award to show him that not only I find him beautiful, but Others do as well. Thank You, Ladies". Thank you for lending him, Aradia!

Aradia has posted a couple of blog entries about the contest (links below) which are worth checking out, especially to see all the other lovely contest photos of her whore.

BEST ASS IN THE CONTEST AWARD:
Veritas

The judges really liked Veritas' entries. He broke no contest rules and "put significant thought and effort into achieving "stylish" and "sexy" photos" (Ms160). He also had a terrific time putting his photos together:

"i found my outfit on a lingerie website. i chose it because i really didn't want to go to fredricks or victoria's because i figured that is where everyone else would be shopping. all about strategy ;) i chose this particular outfit because it looked smoking hot on the model, and i liked the lace up front. i thought it would be something a bit different that might stand out a little bit.

"after it arrived in the mail i spent about 3 afternoons or so just snapping picture after picture. it was a bit difficult just because of having to focus the camera, set the timer, and get into position fast enough. it was a slow process, but i ended up with about 50 pics or so to choose from. i tried all sorts of different poses, props, and even did a little self bondage. but it turns out being tied up just made things too difficult to take any good pics".

The judges definately agreed the outfit looked "smoking hot" on veritas as well as the model, lol, and greatly appreciated all the info veritas provided, which brought his photos - and his contest experience - alive for us. Veritas scored highly for his "beautiful pics ... I loved the contrast of the red and black, very slutty, and well chosen, ... [he] made good use of the camera with poses" (MissBonnie). "The red detail is nice as is the lace up. Reading his submission, he has gone to a lot of effort" (Alice). However the judges very reluctantly had to agree that his "seriously sexy" (Ms160) tight outfit "is not strictly a babydoll" (Alice).

We were cheered up by spending time examining the " cute butt" (Miss Bonnie) revealed in his "stylish and sexy bottom shot" (Alice) ("happy sigh" Ms160). After much debate and close comparison, analysis and discussion of veritas', denied's and quall's behinds - the judges are delighted to award veritas the inaugural Best Ass In the Contest Award, which we hope he will accept with pride.

Veritas later posted: "i'm very flattered, and graciously accept the best ass award. i suppose if i couldn't win over all best ass is certainly an award to be proud of. but i am going to have my lawyers look over the definition of baby doll outfit. thanks to Mistress 160 for hosting the competition, i know it was a lot of work and everybody here appreciates it. thanks to the other judges as well ".

In the hope of more ass photos, the judges will look forward to hearing from those lawyers!
