The fact that it appears that I will not win this challenge is a travesty of the highest order.

Anyone who can't appreciate the good naturedness of that fact, or the simple fun of the entry itself, can call themselves a waaaambulance.

Vader, I mean this in the kindest possible way, but the reason you did not garner more votes is because your fit was not good.

Cleavs fit was boss btw.

When I saw Stitchy's fit I chuckled out loud. It was posted here in jest, I'm sure. Just what he happened to be wearing that day, full of blues and greys, so he posted it in the "no blues, no greys" challenge for a laff.

Then people voted for it, also for a laff, and because Stitchy is well liked here.

Cleav posted his black tie fit because he happened to have photos of it and it fitted the rules. People voted for it because it was nice, and because Cleav is well liked too.

I don't have a problem with any of that. I would certainly agree that some of the other entries deserved more votes than they got, on a degree-of-difficulty basis. But it's just a friendly poll, and we still get to appreciate the efforts of others, and to learn from them.

So, Cleav, what have you got planned for us this week?

Been there bro. I may have just posted the worst picture of all time in a challenge some moons ago. Take it as an incentive.

@in stitches , my fit was not intended to be a winner. honestly? i didn't even try. no tripod, no pose. drinking a coffee. chilling in a park.
in fact, it was simply what i was wearing on the last day to play. but it was better than your fit. i mean it in the kindest possible way. and will leave it at that.

We live not only in different Countries, but also different style "Scenes". my entries will always reflect current trends locally.with people in the 25-35 age group,while playing within the rules chosen weekly by the last winner.
I am not concerned about how many votes i do,or don't get. because in the CM circle jerk, you rarely see the best fit win. The weekly challenge is something fun to do. so i play.

Making it about you, or about me, is disrespectful to all the other participants. which was my initial point.also making my point about something else, Carrying this on further, or acting immaturely as above? reinforces my initial statement.

Let's keep this about members trying new style challenges. perhaps one day the most adventurous entrant will win. (well, it's something to strive for)
This week, i really expected @Gerry Nelson to win, although @David Reeves got my vote for having the cahones to wear that suit.
