We all know that BloomCissi never changes her outfit. She has reminded us of the fact several times, and by now no one should have been able to miss it. She has worn the same outfit for over two years now, with only a few minor changes over the years. The outfit, featuring a black top, golden skirt and a giant teddy bear, has since become nothing short of iconic. That is why it was surprising, to say the least, to wake up and find that BloomCissi has changed her outfit. While this change has been welcomed by some, it has also caused a bit of confusion:

Libertas: “BloomCissi? I don't know her!”

Era: “I was scrolling through the team's schedule when I saw something unusual. A new outfit on, guess who, BloomCissi!!! I was so surprised, I thought somebody hacked her account just to change her outfit hahaha.”

Krystle: “Finally, it's about time she changed her outfit. I approve!”

Petite: “I'm in total shock! I can't believe this is happening!”

Cimorene: “Wait, who are you again?”

Punch: “I've seen many things during my time on VP, but BloomCissi changing her outfit? That's something I never thought would happen.”

Kawaiiflowergirl: “I guess we'll have to wait until 2021 for the next outfit change then?”

As the News Team, we have managed to get an exclusive comment from the main figure herself. BloomCissi, can you tell us why you suddenly changed your outfit?

“Well, I've said before that I don't want to change my outfit, because I can't be bothered to, but also because people might not recognise me if I did. Lately I've actually started to get bored of this outfit, so I finally decided that now was the time to change it.”

There have been quite a few competitions from the teams in March.

ET Winners from February comps:

The winners of ET’s mermaid-inspired Writing Comp were announced after last February’s magazine was published. You have most likely seen them, but if not, check out this forum.

The winners of the Sweetheart dressup competition were announced here. There were a lot of great entries, so ET must have had a heart time choosing.

ET Raffle:

In the end of February ET held a quick one-hour raffle where you could win a set made by Wout for the females and Peachmilk for the males. The winners were announced in the forum.

ET Google Comp:

You had the chance to win the last of Ad0xa’s four octumaid sets in a Google Comp where you had to find an image that best represented the theme “Secrets of the Sea”. You can see the list of winners here.

ET Back to the Future:

ET had us all dress as cyborgs and inhabitants of The Hunger Games’ Capitol in their futuristic competition. The prizes were some gorgeous sets by Avase and Nama. The winners were announced in this forum.

ET Decades Dressup:

March wasn’t only futuristic - ET also held a competition where you had to dress as your favourite decade or era. This resulted in amazing looks ranging from the middle ages to now. The winners have yet to be announced, so keep your eyes open for that!

ET/DT Design Competition:

March also had a revival of the monthly ET/DT design competition, where all you had to do was design a set to get the prize. The prizes were handed out shortly after the deadline.

SMT raffle announcement:

The winners of SMT’s February raffle was announced on March 10th in this forum. Congrats to the winners!

SMT WWIB Winners:

The winners of SMT’s latest WWIB and some amazing hairs made by Somsoc were announced on twitter, so go there if you want to see who won!

From March 9th and 24 hours ahead it was auction weekend! The beautiful popdollar set was made by Gravitation and the cool credits set was made by Solovey. The males got two nice sets from Lily (changed her username from September) but they were put in the system a little bit late so the remaining of the 24 claims were raffled out by Shadowjess.
