I agree with you. I spend my $$ to buy outfits for the fashion show just to be over voted for dolls that don't fit the theme. It makes me not want to join any more nor vote anymore either.

I'm trying my best to vote the 'Stripy' dolls up too! It's driving me crazy & last week was embarrassingly awful too.
I really like mikomi, fairykisses, tw33tyx, valyeria, blackmoonlight, evadiva, mystixgirl...
others with plenty of stripes & cute too are sunshinesmiles, lolycats, yarlyna, there are some others too but I don't remember the names.
Very few of these are in the classification & when they do appear they disappear just as quickly!

edit: here are a few others that caught my attention during my last spate of voting - sugarkande, alesxandra, elouise, ehawee, lily530

sad thing they're off-theme, but if among 100 people there are only 2 or 3 on-theme, obviously the off-theme people will get more votes.
plus...

1)you can only refresh page every 10 minutes, so it's pretty hard to find one of the 3% on-theme people and as you're already there, you vote for someone with the outfit you like
2)some people may not be aware of the theme(i'm sure there are tons of people who never read the news)
3)several people just don't care about the theme and still use the same criteria to vote(they just vote for the one with the best look)
4.1)some people may just have NO clothes with stripes at all
4.2)people who don't buy feez and who have recently done this last quest may not be willing to spend $$$ with new clothes
4.3)the clothes with stripes in this sites are either not-that-good-looking, hard to find, expensive or kind of suspicious*

as long as i couldn't find an outfit(with stripes) that pleased me, i just didn't join this time(i wish i found something to join...)
*easy to find+cheap = you're afraid everyone else will decide to wear that same item.

@shutupandletmego: the point isn't the fact that another person has the same item, but the fact that several people are wearing the same item on the FS. imagine everyone in the FS wearing the same item. you'll get tired of seing this all the time. eg: you buy the zebra stripe skirt from dolls and roses store and everyone else had the same idea, so you'll see that skirt in the FS everytime you're going to vote for someone.
but the main reason would be the $$$ cost. we NOW have this 30% sale, but during that quest...

It's 2 minutes, not 10 minutes.

These are the sort of player who only think it is fair if it works the way they want it to.

So buy some! Serious fashion show entrants save up each weak for the next show.

That does not mean they should enter in the quest clothes. A couple of weeks ago we had a huge number of identical and boring quest clones in the show. So who was the best? Who was displaying their unique fashion sense? None of them. So why did they even bother to enter?

It's not that hard to find a pair of striped socks to wear as part of the outfit. People with talent can work wonders even when restricted. Why do the unskilled and lazy expect to win and complain when they don't? And even if everyone does use the same item, there are seven other items that they are wearing that will make the difference. See above comment on the clones in the bikinis with baskets a couple weeks ago, or the pile of people wearing the same black and white dress. Obviously these people don't care if they are wearing the same thing as everyone else anyway!

That is a valid choice. I wish more people would behave the same way.
