And the winners are...

1st place: Ai Hienrichs
2nd place: WrenNoir Cerise
 
3rd place: Callie Oh

I would like to personally thank each of the fabulous entries we got the see in this contest. Our eyes and hearts are completely delighted!
I am absolutely amazed with the mixes these ladies came up with, there are many combinations that never crossed my mind before and they have blown me away. The originality and creativity have been incredible.
We have a hard time choosing the winners, luckily I was not alone. We share the voting process with Caoimhe Lionheart, Miss Essence of PurpleMoon 2012, Rusalka Callisto, our lovely PM Manager; SilverMoon Indigo, my sister and PM COO and myself.Who I would like to say THANK YOU for your time and helping me on this. 

Also I would like to thank each of our sponsor who have been on our side along the contest and have all these wonderful prizes that I will mention at the end. Amorous, Denver's Studio, KittyCatS, Finesmith, Pura Vida, Melu Deco, Wetcat and White Widow. A warm big hug for each of you!

One last thing. I was very impressed with some pictures that didn't make it to the final 3. Especially four ladies who submitted many pictures each of them and every single of those pictures got some votes from the judges. They might not have been enough votes to win the contest but to me, that means something. These girls know how to style! I am just coming up with this idea because their work was as outstanding as the winner's. 
These ladies are, in no particular order:  Layla Lecker, Dalis Juran, Lolita Paragorn and Domitalia Jinx!
All the seven girls mentioned above will receive the title of PurpleMoon Stylists and they will be invited to be part of the PurpleMoon Team! More details will be given, of course, to them. 

And now, let's see what these three fabulous winners, Ai Hienrichs, WrenNoir Cerise and Callie Oh did just receive! Congratulations!
