The Pose Off - Sports Theme

After the Baroque Avant Garde, I thought for sure I was done.  To my amazement, I got to move on to the third round; The Pose Off.  This is the strangest thing.  Models are paired against each other and present three of the most wildest or craziest poses they can find.  The poses can't break prims or pass through body parts on transitions.  The theme for this challenge is sports.  The stage is a boxing ring.  The pose off will be a single elimination bracket.

I have some wild poses in my inventory, but you have to have your outfit first.  My first thoughts were to find the simplest outfit possible, no skirts, and no mesh.  I first went looking for t-shirt and short sets.  Most of the ones I found were mesh or were cut so half your bottom and/or breasts are showing.  Sorry, but that just isn't me.  Plus if your abdomen is showing you have to worry that it looks natural and doesn't have strange creases or lines.  I did find one t-shirt and short outfit that fit the criteria, but it was completely boring; plain white t-shirt and navy shorts.

There are plenty of women's sports so there must be something else out there.  So, I changed my search to women's sports costumes.  Much better.  I found the cutest female jockey outfit and gymnastics leotards.  Now we are talking.  Sports with femininity.  I started working with the jockey outfit.  The only problem was that is had a checkerboard pattern on the top.  I worried that with wild poses the pattern might look too distorted, which is a big no no.  So, I started looking at the gymnastics leotards.  I saw one that I just couldn't refuse.  The leotard top was white with black cats and the bottom and sleeves were pink.  I thought it most appropriate with my name being Kitty.

To keep possible prim breakage to a minimum, I didn't add many accessories.  For shoes I went with a simple flat, black ballet shoe.  For hair, I went with a very short layered cut made from mesh. Mesh is great for hair; don't have to worry about it moving around.  With the short cut, I have much more flexibility with poses and worrying about my hair sticking into anything.  I went with very basic make-up in pink tones, like as if I were competing in RL.  Gymnasts don't wear jewelry when competing, so I went with no jewelry to fit the outfit and theme.
