Reiko (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Internet
Job: Pop star
Profile: Dresses up as TV characters in her spare time.
Default style: Lively (pink Cute Fairy outfit with pink kitty ears and a red side ponytail)

Taste notes:
Claims to like picture patterns.

Memorability: 4/5

Personal notes:
Sometime around Oct. 4th, 2017, she asked me for another Lively outfit and I was barely able to throw one together. She subsequently asked me to dye her hair blue and make it long and wavy, thus joining the masses of aliens teeming in the city.

Flo (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Graphic design
Job: Illustrator
Profile: A positive thinker. Always the first to notice rainbows.
Default style: Bold

Taste notes:
Normally wears Bold. Seems to be attracted to weird stuff. Every time I put out a really questionable mannequin loaded up with weird colours of animal print or something, she's there. (Flo! Taste the rainbow!) She actually seems helplessly attracted to outfits with animal print.

Memorability: 5/5

Personal Notes:
Since I started off with a Bold boutique, Flo's been one of my earliest customers, long before I could remember any of the customer's names even when I was paying attention to them. She quickly burnt herself into my mind for repeatedly choosing some of the most out-there outfits I put out on display. She's been buying things from me for so long that I can't even remember what her default outfit is and probably wouldn't recognize it if I saw it.

As of Dec. 5th, 2017, she's currently still sporting 'alien hair' in the form of electric blue looped braids.

SSFF Bold Blue Photodump

Another photodump featuring the Bold and the Blue-tiful. >_< ...Sorry about that.

These were taken on the evening of November 27th, 2017.

Starting off with one of my "Weird Bold Chicks", Flo. For Flo, this is actually almost subdued... I mean, she's only wearing four items with animal print and they're in a normal colour...

SSFF Bold Customers Photodump 4

And for part 4 of my end-of-season customer photo binge, we have customers in some bright outfits, some Bold and some Lively. These were all taken on November 27th, 2017.

Starting off with Quartz and Airi. This outfit was made to go with Airi's makeup, my Pale Banshee makeup set. Somehow, I seem to have succeeded.

SSFF Bold Customers Photodump 3

Part three of my end-of-November binge on photos with my customers. It's mostly a mixture of Chic outfits and Bold outfits this time. These were all taken November 26th through November 27th, 2017.

I'm pretty sure this is Jasmin... but not entirely. Also, there is a character that uses almost exactly this as a default outfit, so I'm not even sure if this is the one I put together or not. Oh well.

SSFF Bold Customers Photodump 2

...And on to part two of my massive binge of picture-taking with customers. Making up for lost time, I guess? Although I lost much more time in the process... at least as far as 'wasting my life 'is concerned. These were all taken on November 26th, 2017.

We should start a band: Blue Screen of Death.

Dolly here probably holds a record for "longest time customer held on to an outfit" – I made this for her back when I started the game shortly after it first came out. Maybe I should run this thing through a fashion show and see how it scores...

Her clutch just melts right into that background...

Harue (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Palmistry
Job: Voice actress
Profile: Looks sweet, but has a sharp tongue.
Default style: Lively (usually a tutu with lavender pigtails)

Taste notes:
Mainly Lively style, but it looks she'll also take Psychedelic. Buys cosplay items easily. In fact, seems to almost hunt them down. Her favourite brand appears to be Purple Moon.

Memorability: 5/5

Personal notes:
Harue has what appears to be a truly massive disposable income and a penchant for finding and buying incredibly expensive things from mannequins, and yet when she actually enters the store, she most frequently puts forth requests for whole ensembles under $200, or even under $150. (It looks as if her favourite brand is Purple Moon, so this might be where this comes from.)

I made the mistake of remembering her job as "pop idol" in a post on Miiverse... when she's really a voice actress. And yet... somehow I thought I remembered something in the game stating this, linking her to pop idols or celebrities. Hmm. It's not as if voice actresses can't be big-time celebrities, though...

Harue is a very memorable character to me due to all of the weird (and often shockingly expensive) stuff she's bought, along with her stand-out personality(?) and the bizarre divide between her in-store budget and the rest of her disposable income. Where is she pulling out these incredible sums from?? She also seems to be fond of getting repeated changes of hairstyle only to switch back to her default lavender pigtails regularly. Actually, despite running a mainly Bold and Gothic boutique for a long time, Harue has been one of my most frequent customers, not to mention my highest-paying... She kind of reminds me of Preeya because of of the variety of things she's requested and the breadth of the styles she's tried.

Harue often hangs out with Koji, although I have no idea what their relationship is actually supposed to be.

A picture of Harue from last year. She's a pop star, and appears to have an incredibly large disposable income: Here she just bought a very expensive Retro-Lively outfit I had displayed, and yet when she comes in with requests, her budget is about $150...
She actually seemed to be buying things off mannequins based on how expensive they were... It was pretty consistent over time. It's an interesting contrast.

Gina (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Dance
Job: Baker
Profile: Rearranges flyers on bulletin boards for fun.
Default style: Babydoll (pink and white or pink and red)

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Gina is particularly memorable to me for making me butcher her hair, and then for asking for a single hat to add to her outfit... and letting me put a zebra-striped cowboy hat with red feathers on top of her Babydoll ensemble... and then wearing it for over a year. (It actually seems to have changed her default outfit permanently...)

Maybe kittyboy will join you??
Ha ha... I'd like to go see that party, but I think it's a no-go.
That sounds like a mighty interesting mixer.

Original Miiverse posts to play journal (Sep. 29th, 2016 - apx. 2:05am)
AGH! I butchered her hair!!
...and she's just the first, shortly after this, another girl in babydoll clothes showed up and asked for the same treatment, ha ha. Alas, the poor beautiful hair...

Original Miiverse post to play journal Nov. 3rd, 2017 - apx. 12:25am)
Somehow the fact that she's still like this, or has incorporated that hat and hairstyle into her normal look amuses me......

Cleo (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Driving
Job: Dance teacher
Profile: Cares about her heath. Definitely not a night owl.
Default style: Bold

Taste notes: slightly dubious

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Cleo seems to mainly wear Bold. However... I've also seen her in Chic and seen her buy a brown Gothic outfit off of my mannequin. Cleo consistently buys weird things from my mannequins, or requests them, or lets me dress her in really strange or dubious things. (Although I've noticed mainly-Bold customers seem to be able to take a lot of abuse this way... or maybe want it in the first place.)

Cleo was one of my earliest customers. I have some half-decent photos of her in a purple jumpsuit from very early on. Since then, she has always been dressed in something dubious. This isn't always under my control since she keeps buying them off of mannequins...

Oct. 3rd, 2017:
She currently has cropped, poofy bleach-blonde hair, and I'm not sure if it's her default or something I was somehow complicit in.


A photo of Cleo from my November-December 2017 Bold Customer Photodump. She's wearing one of my weird designer t-shirts.

Diana (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Beach volleyball
Job: Restaurant staff
Profile: Has to remind herself to stick to the basics.
Default style: Bold (gold sequined miniskirt, red striped corset top)

Taste notes: WEIRD

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Diana normally wears Bold, but wears it with the bizarre fountain/beehive updo that Leonora has. I somehow turned her into a bright pink kitty girl, and then into some kind of bright pink kitty cowgirl... and got one of the weirdest responses I've ever gotten to anything in SS:FF: With excitement and glee, she stated it was "boldly clashing! And grown-up, too!" I have never seen this girl in anything other than something weird, so it could be that she actually likes weird things, but I'm trying to figure out how... using the wrong colours? Clashing patterns?

Oct. 10th, 2017:
From seeing her looking at my mannequin a few days ago, it occurs to me that this character may really be attracted to clashing patterns somehow. She seems most attracted to mannequins that have many differing patterns all over. (For example: Animal print with flowers and lace and geometric things and ribbons... All jammed onto one outfit.)

I'm not entirely sure how I managed to turn Diana into this... but I don't regret it at all.

Dolly (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Stand-up comedy
Job: Student
Profile: Doodles on her notebooks. Never writes any notes.
Default style: ??

Taste notes: ??

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Most memorable to me due to being the recipient of one of my first and favourite Bold outfits (in blue-green and black), and not changing out of it for over a year, even after buying other things.

What really determines whether they change out of these things or not...?

Original Miiverse post to play journal (Jun. 6th, 2017 - apx. 6:28pm)
Digging up some stuff from my album that I never posted. This was one of my early Bold outfits for a customer last year. I love those flowy vest things...

Kelly (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Collecting things
Job: Bookseller
Profile: Wonderfully imaginative. Can't read maps.
Default style: Eastern

Taste notes: I'm pretty sure I hit on something she liked at some point, but didn't write any notes about it.

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Kelly is most memorable to me for being one of my earliest customers and for letting me make her over into an alien thanks to the now-common request for blue hair, then starring in what appeared to be a paranormal photograph.

Jiamin (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Gymnastics
Job: Dental assistant
Profile: Fitness enthusiast. Refuels with cheeseburgs.
Default style: Eastern?? Girly

Taste notes: No idea.

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆

Character notes:
Jiamin seems to hang out with Will a lot. I encountered her very early on in the game as a result, since Will has a sort of little subplot thing going on in the beginning, if I'm not terribly mistaken. She came in with him at some point early on. I don't actually know what her relationship to Will is, though... They seem to spend a lot of time at Bun-Bun Funland together.

Personal notes:
I've sold her a decent number of outfits, but somehow I'm still left with no idea what her original style was. She keeps buying Bold things from me, and yet was wearing Eastern stuff for a while...

Thanks to Sly Blue for informing me Jiamin's default style is Girly... If that's the case, she's had quite the fashion journey in my playthrough, from Girly to Eastern to Bold...

Original Miiverse post to play journal (June 20th, 2017 - apx. 9:59am)
Jiamin requesting a new Bold outfit for a trip to the buffet. Her last one was the same kind of request, and she ended upmwearing it for months... I think she started off in the Eastern style.

Will (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Cooking
Job: Actor
Profile: Looks like a movie star. Says he's going to be one.
Default style: ??

Buying history: I thought I had notes on this... I'm pretty sure it's some kind of romantic set and the space sets, Galactic Ranger and Cosmos 9. He's bought a lot of makeup sets and comes in with both both female friends and male friends.

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
He seems to be the male equivalent of Sophie. He's memorable to me for being one of the first male characters introduced, if I remember correctly... and for having probably the hugest, most adorable eyes of any male character; like I said, he's like the male version of Sophie. He stands out like crazy from most of the other guys. He definitely has that "lost puppy" look down...

He's also very memorable to me for dragging a male friend along to the makeup shop and talking about there being no romance without bromance...

Will seems to hang out with Jiamin a lot.

I'm not sure I've seen any makeup kit attract more guys than Cosmos 9... I lost track of how many came here to buy it.
SPAAAAAAAACE.

SSFF Bright and Florid Photodump 1

This started off as an attempt to capture the looks of my Eastern-style customers, but not many of them were still wearing anything I made for them by the time I got around to this on the 22nd of November, 2017... Still, there were enough there along with some of the Boho-chic ones and some other generally bright and florid outfits to make a little batch of photos for a post like this.


A photo with Daphne, who'd been trying to live the Bold life after moving in from the country (she claims) for quite some time, and upon returning to her usual Boho-chic style, somehow became a farmer genie, thanks to my interference.

I put my own character's outfit together specifically to take a photo with Tara, since I was kind of proud of the Boho-chic yukata outfit I put together for her months ago... and I'd been planning some kind of picture with her to record it all of this time.

SSFF Bold Customers Photodump 1

I spent a small chunk of the evening on the 25th of November getting into taking photos of my backlog of customers. I'm not up to much else, thanks to being sick for almost the whole month... ugh.

To my relief, I discovered that I can actually take photos before finalizing a photoshoot in the studio. (Cheater.) This makes it much easier to record outfits from top to bottom... Not to mention, it's free.

Photo with Airi... Taken at the studio without paying Zoey and Sasha. Ha ha ha...


Not all of the following outfits are Bold, nor are all of the customers wearing Bold outfits... but it's still kind of thematically... um... arranged... or something?

My Previous Rooms in Style Savvy: Fashion Forward

A showcase of my previous custom rooms in Style Savvy: Fashion Forward. I'll be updating this post periodically with older and newer rooms as they cycle through.

The room I had up for download through part of October and November 2017, for Halloween.
Contained a custom banshee dress and matching makeup set.

Gothic Starlet (SSFF Outfit)

Made this while playing around with gothic outfits on the 8th of November, 2017, shortly after Miiverse shut down. It's included in my second Gothic Outfit Photodump.



I threw this together while neglecting every responsibility in life that I have with extreme abandon, like the incarnation of sloth itself. My life's been kind of shot this year. (Although I suppose it isn't really 'sloth' if it's actually a bad case of bronchitis... I just feel like crap for letting everything go and using the time to play video games.)

Gothic Barbie (SSFF Outfit)

So, here I am again, perverting the gothic style into something totally not in keeping with its image.



There are two outfits included in this post. One is strictly within by the game's definition of Gothic, and the other is just my playing around with looks again.


SSFF Gothic Outfits Photodump

Okay, I said there were over 30 pictures, and the last post only got to 28... This is the other half of the gothic photos from the 8th of November. The last batch was 28, and this batch is 22, so the total should be 40... This one covers the outfits my own character wore. I'm struggling pretty hard with my health here, after spending the whole of November out with some kind of horrible bronchitis, so it took me way longer than I had in mind to get around to this. I probably won't be covering much of the details behind any of it very much as a result...

A photo with Blake, the butler of Peony Hall.

I went out on a limb and added preppy glasses to this gothic outfit. The hair used in this ensemble is very similar to what I used for the Vampire Hunter D outfit...
