livrose 1594 Share Posted June 20, 2021 THE LADY OF HANSETI-RUSKA The competition of a lifetime ~~~ “With lustrous hair like shining pearl And a smile upon her sculpted lips She passes a comb through flowing curls And to my lute she sways her hips We watch the sun go down at night The last rays upon her perfect face Yet the beauty of the final light Is nothing to her perfect grace In her hand she takes my chin Oh in her presence, there is naught amiss! I feel the softness of her skin As she blesses with me her lover's kiss” By Aleksey the Younger ~~~ The Lady of Hanseti-Ruska. Records of poems and scripture in our archives detail such a woman - how beauty, respect, charisma, and steadfastness all play a part in moulding such a dobry figure. These pieces have existed for generations, prizing such values in Haeseni women. In the Naumariav language, the title is written: “Ledi Haense”. She is someone to be loved by her Kingdom, and by all who meet her. Someone to uphold our values and traditions, embodying the very meaning of being Haeseni above all else. Within the ballroom of the Nikirala Palace, a grand competition will commence. Girls will begin vying for the esteemed title of Lady Haense - the one voted the most beautiful, most talented, and most charismatic girl in all of our Kingdom will acquire such a title. Any woman can take part regardless of age or status for we must search the lands for our perfect Lady. As for prizes: the winner, naturally, wins the most sought-after title of the Lady Haense. Alongside a silver circlet headpiece which will be passed down through future successors, and becoming Queen for the Day. This honour entails dressing in Queen Annika’s dresses, taking on her duties as a monarch, and being addressed in all the royal titles and so on. Quite the fun day to boss people about! There will be two runner up titles, with those contestants winning a sash and a brooch commemorating their victory. There will be three judges for this competition, soon to be announced. The competition will contain three rounds. I. The Haeseni Round Each contestant must try to wear aspects of traditional Haeseni dress, donning their house colours if they wish to. They will stride forward up the throne room, under the critical eye of Her Majesty. With this being the introduction round each person must make a small speech containing such introductions: perhaps a hobby, certain dispositions they possess, or something that illustrates why they, above all others, are deserving of the title of Miss Haense. Tuesday, 5pm EST @ Throne Room II. The Ruskan Round This round will take place in the Karosgrad Academy Theatre, whereby each contestant will don a traditional Ruskan look, or have certain Ruskan elements to their attire, and perform their talent onstage. The judges will be watching, and rating such, making notes of how each contestant performs and behaves. So girls, prepare a talent to showcase to the Kingdom! Thursday, 5pm EST @ Karosgrad Theatre III. A Showstopping Finale The final round of the competition returns in the square of Karosgrad, where, under the eyes of the public, each contestant will don their most extravagant ball gown - one they are proud of, to dazzle the watching audience. Aptly named the showstopper, do not feel you have to hold back. Here, in this final round, each contestant will be asked a question or two: regarding Haense, perhaps, or a random topic to express your opinion upon. Time to think on your feet, and look fabulous while doing so! At the end of this round, the judges will turn to the audience, asking for their opinion - here is an opportunity to voice your favourite contenders for the position! Saturday, 7pm EST @ The Square Spoiler some haeseni and ruskan ideas for you!! https://www.pinterest.ca/shelbymaevis/haeseni-court-fashion-inspiration/ Signed, Her Royal Majesty, Annika of Astfield, Queen-Consort of Hanseti-Ruska Her Ladyship, Rosalind Amador de Astrea, Grand Lady of Hanseti-Ruska Pen your applications to become the Lady of Hanseti-Ruska below.
