1. Enchantix. I love the elegance of the designs, and the whimsical, overall traditional fairy-like style. I love how the wings take inspiration from monarch butterflies, but are not direct copies. One thing I'd say I don't like about it is it can be a bit too revealing.
A: Flora. I love the shape of the dress and the beautiful pink color palette. The design reminds me of flower petals, and I also love her hair. There's really nothing about it I don't like.

2.
A: Season 5 Casual.
B: Season 5 Pajamas. I especially love Musa's hair!
C: Season 6 Caribbian style.

3. I don't like their season 6 uniform outfits. They're too matchy-matchy and don't reflect any of the girl's individual characters. The hair on some of them is also sub-par.

Enchantix by a long way. And here's why: I have a weakness for showy large butterfly-style wings or large insect wings for that matter. And the colour nuances the animators used are very subtle in a sophisticated fashion. I also like that the fairies are barefoot- for the following two reasons: a)heeled shows hang there looking chunky when the fairies are in flight and b) the barefoot sandals look so oriental and exotic which is something that intrigues me. Also ankle-length hair on fairies looks very feminine and otherworldly.
I think they did a fantastic job but I could do with flower garlands in lieu of tiaras cos to me tiaras are just a tad bit sugar-coated and frilly.

A; Of your favourite transformation design, which character design do you like best? What makes you like it more then the others? Is there anything you don't like, and if so, how would you improve on it?

Flora, hands down. I like Flora's eye make up and lip colour. Her hair is styled a certain elegant way that makes me think she just stands out and it's overall very chic. I love how her eyes pop, her cat eye look in general. Her wings are decent but i would like the hind wings to be longer than the forewings in a sort of morpho butterfly wing design. I am also a sucker for tails on wings. Let me show you what I mean: go and search 'giant swallowtail butterfly' images and look closely at the beautiful, in my humble opinion, spatulate 'tail-like' projections on the hind wings (bottom wings). it just makes the butterfly more interesting the way I see it.hehe. So I'd definitely do something about the wings only.

2. What is your favourite non-transformation design?

C; For overall look?

A. Roxy's paw print top and the rest of that ensemble. Her outfit is so cute, casual and youthful it makes her look like a rebellious teenager-in a 'hip' way.

B. Stella's season 4 hair style. Her fringe is swept to one side and her hair is worn loose.

C) Flora's season 4 casual civilian look-the one that consists of a pink mini-dress with green spaghetti straps. it looks very flowy and girly but not to an excessive degree. her hair is worn loose and the style of the shoes kind of eludes me at the moment. i think she pairs the outfit with wedge shoes.

3. Which designs do you not like, and why?

Bloom's and Flora's knee-high socks worn with high heels. i just don't like the concept of socks and heels because to me it's kind of lingerie-ish. not that it's overly raunchy-but i'm inescure enough to find it uncomfortable hehe.

this was fun. x
