Face of Picostyle Winners!



We received a handful of entries for the Face of Picostyle contest. The votes have been tallied and after much deliberation the judges have spoken!

Each and every person who entered submitted an absolutely adorable entry and we want to thank all those who entered from the bottom of our little pixelated hearts.

We want to encourage all the "faces" who entered to continued to shine in whatever you choose to do in and out of Pico - blog, take beautiful photos, build unique rooms, socialize and make people feel at ease. Your confidence was so refreshing!

Not everyone could be the overall contest winner (in fact, Peggy wanted every single person to win because she was absolutely delighted by each entry), but you're all winners in our books!

Read on to see the winners and our title choices for honorable mentions.

How did you discover Picostyle?
I had been googling Pico several months back, to answer a few of my newbie questions (as I was relatively new during that time). Your blog was among the first things that came up in the google search, and as I'd never seen a Pico blog, I checked it out. I was totally enthralled by your entries and amusing profiles every week, that I started coming back every day to see new entries.

What Picostyler's style have you chosen to dress in? Hime gyaru, Old Navyish, Colorful Goth, Preppy / Hipster, Psychadelic, or Hobo chic?
I have chosen Preppy/Hipster, Ora's theme.

What is your favorite Picostyle article and why (include the article URL)?
My favorite Picostyle article? Honestly, that's a tough one. There are many that pop out to me in different contexts, but for all intents and purposes, I'll go for the one that made me laugh the most. That article was Profiles #29 and #30. The engrish versions of some of the profiles just kept me giggling no matter how many times I read it.

Has reading Picostyle inspired any part of you Pico life (example: starting your own blog, what you wear, what you place in your room, etc.)?
Of course! Picostyle not only encouraged me to try starting a blog of my own, but I've takes lots of wardrobe combining advice from Peggy's fashion posts (seriously girl, love your look). A room featured in one of your Cribs entries has inspired the designs for one of my rooms as well. I've been swayed plenty by Picostyle!

What makes you the ultimate Picostyle fan?
To be truthful without sounding cocky, I think the thing that makes me the ultimate Picostyle fan is my dedication. As soon as I had free time on the computer, I'd check Picostyle for a new entry. I'd--quite frankly--get bored without listening to your funny musings, or important announcements. Whenever I saw one of you in the same room with me, I'd feel exited, but not quite brave enough to strike up a conversation. Never wanting to come across as a crazy fan, I simply took it upon myself to appreciate your works from afar. And I suppose that makes me not the most outspoken of fans, but certainly I respect a fellow man's privacy, and take moments like this to marvel at you all. Essentially, Picostyle kept me in Pico. It's what kept me going back to this little game, however many times I may have grown bored of it. It was Picostyle that rekindled my love. When I needed amusement, it was Picostyle I turned to. When I wanted commentary I could trust, it was Picostyle I read.

It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye, but I know that to me, Picostyle will always be the quintessential blog that any Ameba Pico fan could ask for, and my personal favorite.
This is what I think makes me the ultimate Picostyle fan. .

First Runner-up

How did you discover Picostyle?
I saw Peggy around a room once and clicked on her URL. I know that's exactly what the example says, but the same thing happened to me!

What Picostyler's style have you chosen to dress in? Hime gyaru, Old Navyish, Colorful Goth, Preppy / Hipster, Psychadelic, or Hobo chic?
Psychedelic!

What is your favorite Picostyle article and why (include the article URL)?
It's a bit hard to choose, but I am fond of the Profiles. This one in particular is fun!

Has reading Picostyle inspired any part of you Pico life (example: starting your own blog, what you wear, what you place in your room, etc.)?
The Pico Cribs articles actually inspire me a lot. My room has always been a wreck, but from seeing the images of such fantastic rooms, I have at least attempted to create a nice room. Peggy's crazy fashion inspires my Pico's as well!

What makes you the ultimate Picostyle fan?
Admittedly, I've only read the blog for the last couple of months, but I did go back and read the rest of the articles. Each one is interesting and now I read every article when they show up (I have the blog as an RSS feed in my Mail program). I play Pico just about every day, since it's my addiction, and every once in a while, I see one of the bloggers around and I get very excited. Talk about Pico celebs! Very exciting.

How did you discover Picostyle?
I saw a post last last week about the topic hacking by Benry, so i viewed the site and it is so amazing and interesting.

What Picostyler's style have you chosen to dress in? Hime gyaru, Old Navyish, Colorful Goth, Preppy / Hipster, Psychadelic, or Hobo chic?
Psychadelic, it's unique for me, with this what I'm wearing, I'm getting well known in Ameba Pico.

What is your favorite Picostyle article and why (include the article URL)?
I like the how to make elevator stairs.. From knowing how to make it, I held parties in my room and have some fun with friends, it's a big help for me because it makes me earn and earn not gummies but friends also in my parties! http://picostyle.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-to-make-elevator-stairs.html

Has reading Picostyle inspired any part of you Pico life (example: starting your own blog, what you wear, what you place in your room, etc.)?
Yes. I started to open a blog. There you'll see Cookie's (me) everyday's Pico life! http://chocookiepico.blogspot.com here, i wanna share you guys the link how picostyle influenced my Pico's life!

What makes you the ultimate Picostyle fan?
Being who I am. Not a copycat. I don't go to be cute, pretty, charming, or handsome. I've been with this Pico's face for at least 7 months. And everytime I visit your blog, I learn many things and tricks for my Pico's life!
