...and queens wear tiaras!

Our new special contest challenges storeowners to sell tiaras created in the Tiara Challenge. The store that sells the most wins! Designers also have this glorious opportunity to use tiaras from the special base to make cool new outfits for storeowners to gawk at.

And remember that the Quinceanera Contest is still going on. Misquincemag.com is dying to put the winner's outfit on their website! Not only that, but the winner gets 5,000 FBz. You don't have to be celebrating your quinceanera -- you just have to have a passion for fashion!

A few more awesome items have been added to the toolbox! But use them before they sell out!

Also, the latest mini contest just ended, so cross your fingers and hope you were the one who gets the gold crown!

And don't forget that FFG is prepped for fall fashion. Who says you have to wear that boring old school uniform anyway? Here at FFG, you can do as you please! That also means that you can imagine what kinds of things you'd want to wear if you were starring in Fame!

That's right, FFG has a new menu bar! Now it's easier than ever to access your profile, check on your closet, fix up your nifty showroom and update your blog! Which is kind of weird to say because this is a blog in and of itself...talk about metafiction...

Oh, by the way, in case you have trouble getting back to the game, click on the Home icon (there's no place like home) and then click on the Fashion Fantasy Game logo. And presto! You're back in the game!

Scope out "What's New" in the Tool Box to find new limited edition items weekly!

Also, the VMAs are over, but that doesn't mean you can't fantasize about what you would have worn had you gone. Make an outfit specially designed for the Video Music Awards!

And don't forget that we have a new menu header at the top of our page that's as sleek as your designs. The new closet is also bursting with goodies!

If you've been reading Seventeen Magazine, you'll know that even their editors agree that Fashion Fantasy Game is the hottest new thing. Says their blog, "Luckily, we discovered a web site called FashionFantasyGame.com that actually makes all this learning easy and fun!" Not only that, we make it cost-effective too. Spend virtual money instead of real money to figure out how to become a fashion designer IRL, right?

On top of that, our creator Nancy Ganz recently met with fashion superstar Betsey Johnson! See the website for a pic. For those who don't know, Betsey is a member of the Fashion Hall of Fame and is well known for doing cartwheels at the ends of her shows. Hopefully, she didn't make the same mistake as Marilyn Monroe and wear a dress while doing them...

FFG's up and rising. Hopefully, so are you!

Your Diva is your mannequin. And as you know, mannequins come in all shapes and sizes! You can customize your Diva by changing her eyes, hair and skin color so that she looks more like what you want her to look like. You will also be able to change her genetic makeup once the new version of Fashion Fantasy Game comes out.

That last part was a joke .

Starting yesterday, all FFG players can buy separates to mix and match their outfits! This allows shoppers, designers and storeowners more flexibility in their wardrobe! Isn't it neat?

Say, has anyone ever wondered why people wear caps during the summer? It seems it would make it hotter to have something on your head. Then again, fashion doesn't really have to make sense. It's like art -- you do whatever looks good!

We all know that Fashion Fantasy Game is the ONLY game that teaches real fashion business concepts. Here are a few good tips to use in the game and in real life:

1. Check out stores in neighborhoods that you like. This is called market research. Go to those neighborhoods to sell your clothes.
2. Send messages to storeowners so that they can look at your showroom. This is called advertising and sales. If they think your stuff is hot, they may put it in their store!
3. Make a catalog and send it to storeowners. Catalogs are like those pamphlets that the GAP puts out to show their clothes to people.
4. What are friends for? Show your designs to your friends and they may want to buy them or talk to other people about them. This is called making connections.

Remember, use your own ingenuity to come up with good ideas to sell your clothes!
