Sound interesting, ill be there i have a good idea for it, looks like it may be one of the hottest days ever too the way the weather is in england right now . 
Can we have capes and auras aswell?
Yeah, if you have worked hard to get to have a cape or an aura then you are welcome to make use of them. I am also happy for people to use there powers to make their costumes look more unique.
The only thing I ask is that whilst judging people dont use powers or emotes that are disruptive. However, if people want to be pumkins or stomp away from the line up then they are welcome to play around as the game is about having fun
I should be there, Swim Wear sounds fun :P

Went to icon today, gave Cosmo his summer tan, and now hes looking great :P
im not complaing or anything, but ure really bribing people to join those SGs... which in my opinion is wrong, and if not ure also saying u made this choice so u get less money that others... im just mentioning it, it kind of struck me as a bit unfair but... its up to you in the end :P
We should have a "Most original costume" contest.
Swimwear, women will win. D:
Just leaving to attend the real thing at Stonehenge 
Good luck with the comp tho
Hidden Healer, every supergroup has its benefits and wishes to support their members. I have seen people pay people to encourage them to join their supergroup. You could also say that perhaps I will not want any of the named supergroups to be successful coz it is going to burn a huge hole in my superhero purse, so members of the named supergroups are going to have to try extra hard to impress.
As you have pointed out this is an event to promote membership, however, if your not a member of one of the supergroups you still have a good chance of winning and the prize money is still very generous in my opinion. Also it gives other people in other supergroups a chance to meet our members who are all very friendly people.
Yellow Skull, the contest should not be bias in favour of women. The contest is being judged by two people and I can confirm that one of the judges does find looking at male characters more appealing than looking at the women characters. One of the judges is a villain and the other is a hero.
We will be judging the competion on the costumes and not on the supergroup you belong to or on the sex of your character. I can guarantee judging will be on a fair basis. Good Luck everyone
If you wish to know more about Stars United you can visit our supergroup website Stars United There is a link on the links page to the Freelancers site also.
ahaaa i see, ok then. Although i think (personaly) that its wrong to pay people to join SGs, but this is doing that directly so its a bit diffrent... now if u see anyone actualy paying people to join there SG give em a slap round the head :P
This isn't really bribery as far as I can see. Yes, in this competition if you are ALREADY a member of the SG and you win the prize money is doubled, but it's not a case of "If you're not a member of the SG and you win, and then you join us, your prize money will be doubled" is it?
This is an event to promote the SG, and a chance for others to meet its members in a fun and original way, thats all.

Well im sertainly going to enter... playgirl mag should get there cam's ready for this one lol.
Good luck to everyone taking part tonight
Only 15 mins till judging, but we still need more contestants
Oh my, I shall not be organising another Costume Contest in a hurry. At first I thought I was the only one to be in attendance and started to panic and feel a bit embarassed. Luckily people began to arrive and I felt confident enough to slip into my own swimsuit ready for judging.
It seemed that only Heroes were coming but slowly but surely the villains began to arrive too. By 9:30pm we had plenty of people to line up.
It was then up to Ghost Angel and I (Mercury Star) to choose the winners. Choosing only three heroes and three villains to win is a lot harder than you may think. There were so many good costumes that it was difficult to make our minds up. I really didn't want to be one of those judges that takes ages to decide, but I now understand why they do.
Finally we decided on Redblast, Burnt Beach Babe and Cosmic Comet as the Hero winners and Twiglet, Pollensia and Darkening Lady as villain winners. The winners were moved to another area to have their pictures taken (coming soon). When it came to awarding the inf we discovered that Burnt Beach Babe was a villain 
and not entitled to influence. We then needed a third place winner for heroes, however, Luana 69 who arrived late had a great swimsuit and was happy to accept third place by default. We didnt let Burnt Beach Babe leave empty handed either, we arranged for her to recieve a runner up prize. The end result was: -
Hero Winners
Redblast - 1st place (supergroup = Amazon Stars)
Cosmic Comet - 2nd place (supergroup = Amazon Stars)
Luana 69 - 3rd place (supergroup = Italian Posie)
Villain Winners
Twiglet - 1st place (supergroup = unknown)
Pollensia - 2nd place (supergroup = none)
Darkening Lady - 3rd place (supergroup = Fallen Freelancers)
Runner Up
Burnt Beach Babe - awarded 1/2 mil (supergroup = none)
To all those who attended, thank you very much, you all looked great. I will update the Stars United website's Events page with all the photos. I am currently waiting on the villain winner screenshots.
