Happy Octo-eve every one!
Been a bit quiet from myself the last few months but wanted to give some quick updates from my end! As a lot of you have already seen and started to take part in, I'm now running a 'Quest of the week' along with my fellow German Admin. She started the idea back in March and has been solo-running it to now. She's kindly given me the list of tasks that she's run up till now so we'll be running through those until further notice. If anyone also has any ideas of things that they would want to see regarding the site - send me a quick message or comment in the magazine comments below!
The last few months it's mostly been behind the scenes updates regarding the teams so it's only a small update. I'm looking to do another change to the Fashion contest categories at the end of October also.
Just a quick one for this month! But hopefully going forward with the open suggestions for site activities there will be more to come!

Have you noticed someone making engaging forums over the past month? Perhaps someone is writing informative blogs, making really inspiring, beautiful looks or is a nondesigner who has been showing great potential lately? Or you know a person who is showing endless kindness and generosity by helping beginners, complimenting other users or encouraging others to do be themselves?
We here in the NewsTeam want to get in contact with people who are making VP a better place in one way or another, and write a little feature about them for our future magazines. We are all going to keep an eye out, but we will also need your help to nominate people you think are doing something great. Please send the name of who you want to nominate and a little description of why in a message to the NewsTeam account, and maybe you will see them shining and getting the appreciation they deserve in the next issue of our monthly magazine. Note that this is very open, and you can nominate people for almost anything as long as it is putting them and what they are doing in a positive light.
“You might think your light is small, but it can make a huge difference in other people’s lives”

Another team announced that they are looking to extend late this month; the DesignerTeam. If you love to design and becoming an official badged designer is something you have always dreamt of, don’t hesitate to apply! To apply this time around, you have to create both one female and one male design based on the theme Autumn Casual, and you have until 27th October 2019 to send in your sets.
You can read more details about the task, how to apply and about the requirements of an official designer in DTs application forum here. Good luck to all aspiring designers!
Exciting things are happening here in the NewsTeam at the moment, because, as you may have seen, we have been holding applications this month! The applications were open for three weeks between 6th and 27th September, and we now have some great candidates to fill the open spots. We are really looking forward to welcome some fresh faces to the team and to continue to provide diverse articles and monthly magazines for all of you.
Thank you for applying to everyone who did, and keep an eye on the Daily News page for the announcement!

Poem
THE HOPE I STILL HOLD
I weep for the threes that are to
Never unfold.
I weep for the species of long
Forgotten stories.
I cry for those I know to hold near.
And that are those who are bound
To disappear.
I hope for myself that blindness
And carelessness isn't
a genetic code.
Of those who saw the foretold.
I whisper for those who never thought it gone.
I'm brought on by the hope I still hold.
'Cause
If Earth was to disappear in itself,
Of humans and buildings
And ash-grey shelves.
What are we to do with an Earth so used-up?
What are we to do with an Earth that rot?
What with the species that forever is gone?
With the air we are breathing
-- soon toxic as ourselves.
Where will we run for
when days are
No longer.
How long will our measures
making us linger?
