It is finally time for the Tasty Trio, consisting of NT’s own Atencia, Melk & Moss, to judge the outfits of some of the so called ‘fashion icons’ on Virtual Popstar. A few users allegedly known for their looks, have been asked to send in one of their most recent favourite outfits for the true fashion trio to give their honest opinion on. It’s about time we get things in order!

ARACHNE

Atencia: Is this a wedding or a funeral? Whatever it is you’re trying to achieve with this look, it’s not it. And, I think you might have ripped your skirt on the way, so ehm... perhaps find yourself a new one before you enter the church. 

Melk: Black, gold and white really is an uninspiring color combination. The ONLY thing that could be EVEN worse is just black and gold. I don’t understand how someone can look at those colors and think “yes that’s a good idea”.

Moss: I’ve seen these combos everywhere. The outfit is way too heavy, and girl, can you even see through that heavy makeup? Perfect outfit for the grocery store, I guess - looks thrown on in a hurry.

ARIA

Atencia: Dude, it’s March. A chicken costume would have been a better choice. 

Melk: This looks like you bought the cheapest Halloween costume you could find on ebay and added a whip and some flowers on top and I’m not here for it. Also it’s March… One thing is for sure, you’re not invited to the next Tasty Trio Halloween party. 

Moss: Yikes, even if it WAS halloween, black and red is such a used up combo.. Where’s my green and black vampires? I’d rather you use that whip on me than have to see this outfit at ANY party.

IRISS

Atencia: I’ll give you credit for the dedication, you truly went all out. But please, in what universe is this fashion? Unless you’re aiming for a spot at the zoo, this look won’t get you anywhere. 

Melk: It looks like you just googled leopard and saw the first picture you could find of a leopard with a green background and just went for it. How unoriginal. Adding a little gold didn’t really help it either.

Moss: When I say I love cheetah print, this is not what I mean. Honey, this isn’t Tarzan and Jane, it’s real life - and it’s calling you (probably with the offer of a vet appointment).

MAXWELL

Atencia: Just because it’s made of gold, doesn’t make skeletons a thing. What’s up with all these Halloween looks? Get over yourselves.  

Melk: If I see one more black and gold outfit I might puke!

Moss: You think you can slap some gold on and call it a day? This looks like a black bin bag with some accessories. And honey doesn’t make it any sweeter. Maybe next time refrain from licking the jar clean.

CRAWK

Atencia: This must be the least creative look of them all. I’m over it already. Thank you, next! 

Melk: It really is the lack of cohesive details for me! And did you really think it was a good idea to pick a hair that just blended right in with the rest of the outfit? 

Moss: Monochrome outfits are a clear lack of imagination. What, you couldn’t be bothered to look through your whole WD so you sorted it by colour instead and picked 10 items from each category? Unimaginative and overcrowded.

This was dreadful. Please vp, give us something better. Do you think your look has what it takes? Send it in to NT, and we might judge you in our next magazine! xx
