April has been a rather eventful month on VP; a new game, new team members, FT being brought back to life and new messages on the log in page!
The new game was introduced to us by the end of April (after a long process of voting on a new game and the developers working on getting the game onto the site) and it seems like the game has been appreciated by the community. What will be the next update to VP? What kind of changes are the users wanting? Let us know in the comments!
Now three VP teams are hosting applications; the NewsTeam, YoutubeTeam and ForumTeam. We want to wish everyone who is going to apply the best of luck and we look forward to what the new members in the different teams will bring.
We also want to welcome the new members of our beloved NewsTeam; a huge welcome to the team to Mymble (layouter) and AtlantaG1912 (writer)! We are really looking forward to working with you two!
Auction
This month's auction was held on the 9th of April, and featured three sets made by two different designers. For both females and males, there were matching pd sets designed by Allie, featuring some funky green and purple items. Unfortunately there was no set sold for credits for the males, but females were able to get their hands on a jesteresque set made by Solovey.

This month's mega credit set week was held between the 4th and 10th of April, and featured twelve sets for females, including six Winx-themed bonus sets designed by Rye. The other sets were designed by Masilein, Fantasy, Solovey, Allie, and Misjel, and featured everything from cozy knitted pieces, pearls, and huge wings to a dressing table with accompanying mirror, a green bonnet, and a set inspired by Bratz-doll Cloe. For males, there were three sets, designed by Masilein, Fantasy, and Ouch. The sets made by Masilein and Fantasy were matching female and male sets, while the set designed by Ouch featured not only t-shirts, pants, and braided hairstyles, but also two more or less appropriate hand poses... According to the poll conducted in the official thread, the 48€ set designed by Misjel was the clear favourite this month. To see all the sets, click here!April has been a busy month for the teams!

If there is one thing we can all agree on, it is that vp loves bunnies. Bunny hats, bunny shoes.. even bunny bags! Bunnies are everywhere on the vp fashion scene, and I don’t think they’ll go anywhere any time soon. As the brilliant fashion journalist I am, I thought I had to investigate this topic. After a long and challenging time of looking into why vp loves bunnies so much, one thought kept coming back to me - why write about the bunnies when I can just show them?
Therefore, I present the official-unofficial-subjectively-decided-by-nt’s-own-fashion-journalist gallery wall of vp’s favourite bunnies. Enjoy!
