Fashion 101
When it comes to haute couture, you know your stuff! What was the real name of Coco Chanel, the French fashion entrepreneur, famous for her mens wear inspired fashion? Was it really Curly Sue? No, it was obviously Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel. As for the scary editor in The Devil Wears Prada, she could be none other than long time fashion staple, Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue. Super model Kate Moss designed a line of cool fashion for less for Topshop in 2007, and has continued that relationship since - good news for fashionistas on a budget! As for the daughter of a Beatle, that one was obviously Stella McCartney, whose father is Sir Paul McCartney. All girls should have an LBD in their closet, for those cocktail nights or emergency dress-up moments. Speaking of cou... By on 03rd May 2010 10:15pm

Canada's Top Designer
Canadian Habbos have spoken, and we have a worthy representative in the Global competition! After almost a week of intense battling for the top spot, one entry gradually gained more and more ground.. and in the end, there was no doubt who you liked the most. The winning design in Canada, that will go on to fight for the love of Habbos world-wide, is the creation by hooty-pooty! Out of approximately 2500 votes, she captured more than a fifth, which gave her a comfortable lead on the rest of the pack.

Two Thumbs Up
Who's in the running for the top Habbo with the most trophies? Wondering who's at the top of the charts when it comes to tallying Thumb Trophies? Well, after counting and polishing all those thumbs, we're pleased to announce that Monday's winner is ChuckJaylor, since he received a total of 121 trophy gifts. He is now featured on the Thumbs Up group page, and will receive a Thumbs Up badge and a Love Randomizer for being the most popular Habbo on the block. Don't forget: we only count it if you received it as a gift, not if you purchased the trophy for yourself, or traded it in with another Habbo. But not to worry — you've got until Friday ...

Under My Thumb
Keep the camera rolling on your thumbs! Have you ever wondered what would happen to you if you didn't have opposable thumbs? You wouldn't be able to pick up your spoon and fork, or write with a pen, or grip a baseball bat. Not to mention the difficulty you'd probably encounter when playing Guitar Hero. So let's shwo a bit of appreciation for this part of our body and put it under the spotlight! What do I need to do? · Create a funny or amusing video about thumbs. It can be anything from thumb wrestling, to thumbs climbing Mount Everest, to thumbs making prank calls to other thumbs. · Make sure that your thumb video is not more than 2 minutes long.

Fashion Secrets
Which bot is the most fashionable of the lot? It's been an open secret ever since the Fashion Hub opened its doors. The bots are in awe of this particular fashionista — we've heard the name whispered around the water cooler, during swim breaks, and even at the annual bot sleepover. But they've been remarkably hush-hush about the identity of this fashion icon, so we've decided to investigate. Below are clues as to where this pixel fashionista hangs out most often. Your mission: interview the bots in these mystery rooms, out the clues together to find... By on 29th April 2010 09:30am

So we need your help, Habbos — the dance is just around the corner!
