June has been a month filled with new sets and updates - and from bonus sets in mega credit week, to new manager sets and an extra pd auction - here is this month’s rundown! 

First, let’s talk about mega credit week! This month there were a total of fifteen obtainable sets, twelve female and three male, and the talented designers featured this month were Nora, Mikkelrev, Lily, Sosjet and Solovey. For the main sets, both €2 sets were matching Circus designs made by Nora, and we could also find matching sets for the €12 sets, designed by Lily. But be cautious, these may trigger the urge to go visit some sunflower fields! Other sets included a beautiful springtime female set and a bewinged boy designed by Mikkelrev, and a dragon beauty by Sosjet, to name a few. All female credit packages also contained bonus sets, which all were designed by Solovey, inspired by the characters from the animated series Trollz.

This month there has been as many as three auction weekends! The first, which took place on 6 and 7 June, was the main monthly auction featuring both credit and popdollar sets for both genders as usual. The female credit set was a galactic beauty designed by Lily, while for males a cool casual look by Mikkelrev was obtainable for credits. The popdollar sets featured a dreamy pink bride designed by Lonika, and the spooky black and white set males had the opportunity to get their hands on was designed by River.

In addition to the regular auctions, this month we also had two extra auction weekends, however, for both of these auction weekends only one set was obtainable for each gender. This time around, the sets were only auctioned off for popdollars, and due to there being two auction weekends, there were 48 opportunities to get your hands on the sets. The male set was designed by Perlivian, and the female by Solovey.

On 15th June, both genders’ manager sets were updated with some fresh new looks. The female set is designed by Eve, while the male set is by nondesigner Freckle. So head over to the manager page to check them out after you have read this magazine if you haven’t seen them already!

In late May the Social Media team announced that they would soon be back from the hiatus, as well as public announce some of the changes that had been done during the hiatus. Some things they mentioned is that the second WWIB would be replaced by another dress-up competition and that they are currently trialling different dress-up competitions to find out which one will replace the second WWIB. They also announced that they will bring back weekly codes for females, increase the activity of the social media pages as well as announcing their new team designer, Shadowjess.

On June 1st the SMT was officially back and they began the month with their monthly raffle. This month there were some, very beautiful, matching sets by SixSixSix and Moss. You can find more information about their competitions on the “competition updates” page!

The ModSquad announced in late May that they were looking for some new moderators. On June 8th the applications closed and in the middle of June, the ModSquad announced who made it to the bootcamp. The bootcampers are: Octocat, Luminescence, Libertas, CheerGirl & YSL and we in the NewsTeam want to wish them all the best of luck both during the bootcamp and for those who will become a mod one day!

Last but not least for this page… We in the NewsTeam has something really interesting coming up really soon. We will soon host applications for some new creative and talented members for our small team. So do you have a writing interest or an interest in making layouts? Then keep an eye out because soon you will have your chance to apply to the NewsTeam and be a part of the team that provides the site with interesting articles, monthly designer appreciations and the monthly magazine!

SMT
The Social Media Team made their comeback with a classic competition, namely “Who wore it best?”. This time, users had to make an outfit with a tiger, designed by Eifos, that could be obtained through a code provided in the thread. The prizes, a top for males and a hair for females, were designed by Masilein and Crown. SMT received a lot of creative entries, which can be viewed here. To see the winners, you can reach the VP Facebook page by clicking here.

The second competition hosted by the Social Media Team this month was a Pride-themed competition named “Category is...”. To enter, users had to dress-up according to one of the following three themes: Drag Queen/Drag King, Pride Parade or Gay Icons. To see the colourful entries, click here. The winners, who were announced on Twitter, received 150 credits each.

ET
The Event Team's first competition of the month was called “My name is Martian”. For this competition, users had to create an alien-inspired outfit. Those who wanted to were invited to create a “passport” for their entry, providing information about their aliens' home planet, superpowers and reason for being on Earth. The winners, which you can see here, received a green and purple alien-set designed by Crown. To see the other-wordly entries, click here.

The second competition hosted by ET invited users to get creative by designing a lid for an ice cream of their own invention. This “Summertime – Ice Cream”-competition received lots of aesthetic and flavourful entries, which can be viewed here. The winners, who are yet to be announced, will be picked according to three different categories: most aesthetic lid, most interesting flavour combo and most mouthwatering ice cream. Those who manage to wow the Event Team's panel of judges can look forward to seeing the prizes, matching male and female summer-themed sets designed by Freckle, in their wardrobes soon!

Congratulations to all the winners of this month's competitions!

Pride
June is recognised as the official Pride month, and that has been very clear on VP. The entire month has been filled with rainbows, and many users dressed up in their best Pride inspired outfits. YoutubeTeam has collected a lot of those looks in a Pride Lookbook that you can view here.

Throughout the month, ForumTeam has made multiple topics about Pride for both discussion and information. Their official Pride forum can be seen here, and if you missed it, you can look through a forum quiz that covers a bit about everything here.

The teams and designers have all worked hard to bring us a lot of new and fancy Pride items. Everything from rainbow crocs to pastel hearts. Thank you very much for those!

In NewsTeam we have celebrated as well, first with a big, informative article made by BloomCissi and Amren, and now with this Pride-themed magazine. We hope you have all had a great Pride month, despite many of the IRL activities being cancelled or severely dampened. It has been a treat to see all your amazing outfits, read your interesting blogs and in general experienced the positive atmosphere this month. Happy Pride!
