Odyssey Impersonation Contest Results

Post by Taq »

Hey there, ToO citizens! I don't know about you, but I had no idea Harlow, Connie, Katrina, Jimmy, and Sherman we among us. I invite you to gaze upon the creative Odyssey Impersonation Contest exhibits. Enjoy!


ENTRY 1: Irwin

Exhibit A:
Irwin's finger nail file! Blured so you don't have to see his ugly nails. :(
Image

Exhibit B:
The two season passes to Water World! To bad they're invalid. :(
Image

Exhibit C:
It's a case of lost faith! If only I could find my bible. :(
Image


ENTRY 2: Laura Ingalls

Image

Exhibit A: A plate of cookies!
Just like Connie has her own business, Cookies by Connie, I also sell cookies through my business, Sarah's Sweets! Who can resist a plate of warm-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies?!



Image

Exhibit B: Playtime with kids!
As Connie has said of herself, many of my friends are either a lot younger or older than me. One of my favorite things to do is to play and talk with my little friends. \:D/



Image

Exhibit C: Close acquaintances with sparse mustaches...
Both my and Connie's attempts at kindly offering to fill in missing hair with eyeliner were strongly rejected. :(




ENTRY 3: Trent DeWhite

Image

Exhibit A: "She was in Room 204." During my cousin's wedding this summer, I shared the same hotel room number as Katrina Shanks. Thankfully, no caftan wearing, wedding interruptions, or security hacking transpired in the process.


Image

Exhibit B: Playing Basketball. Jimmy and I both share a passion for participating in athletic activities.


Image

Exhibit C: Partly Cloudy or Partly Sunny. Visits to the Newseum in Washington, D.C. can bring out the newscaster in anyone. Click the image to watch this amateur reporter pull a Sherman.





So we all knew the the winner of the contest would receive a copy of AIO Live! What you may not have known was that this copy of AIO Live would be autographed by VIPs in the AIO world! So, which entrant prevailed and won this highly sought after tangible prize?

Image
Laura Ingalls! Creativity abounded in all three exhibits, but top-notch resemblance was the factor that set her entry apart. Exhibit A not only drew a great comparison with Connie in business ownership, it showed off Laura's culinary talent and had my mouth watering. Exhibit B was another strong one. The picture showed the heart and playfulness that Connie brings to Whit's End. Those little ones are certainly blessed to have Laura as a friend. Some of us may have seen that particular picture of Dr. Watson in Exhibit C before, but I laughed out loud when I read Laura's caption. Excellent trio of exhibits, Laura!

The other two contestants were no slackers, though. All three of Trent DeWhite's exhibits oozed with originality, and he covered three different characters! Remembering Room 204 while on a summer trip? Impressive. The impromptu basketball shot with the khakis in the hoop? Quite fun + demonstrative of Jimmy's care-free attitude. The video was a bonus. Irwin took on Harlow. He pulled out some fun trivia from Harlow episodes and demonstrated them creatively.
Thank you, Irwin, Laura, and Trent for entering! Lizzie and I had a lot of fun making our own sample entries, and we really enjoyed what you all came up with. \:D/

Haha, mine took me five minutes, just in case no one else entered, because I couldn't think of much :(

Apparently, I didn't say, "We are winners! We are winners!" enough. :(

Congratulations, Laura, for your fantastic exhibits! :D I particularly enjoyed Exhibit C. :lol:

Hey Irwin, if you find yourself with an extra valid pass to Water World, would you mind sending it my way? \:D/

Laura, great job! :D I love your pictures, especially the third one! :lol: You certainly got a great prize for your hard work and creativity. :yes: Irwin, fun pictures. The finger nail file was definitely creative. :D Trent, you clearly keep track of the details of AIO! I had to laugh at the Jimmy picture (as I'm sure you knew!) and that video was amusing as well. Good times all around!

I forgot to do mine, rats. :( I was going to have a giant bubble-gum bubble on a scanner. Too bad I never thought of any others. :P

Congrats Laura! \:D/

Nice job, Laura. I've often thought of myself as Connie: fun, good with kids, slightly ditzy, and eternally young.
