At Hope Chest they create butterflies and transform lives http://www.myhopechest.org/ Channeling your inner Monet, pen a message of hope with colored ink on a white bra. Then, channel your inner supermodel and stage a public photo shoot of someone wearing this “support undergarment.” (You may wear a shirt underneath it if you prefer and you must adhere to local laws. Please note that Gishwhes does not provide bail money.) Once completed, submit your image on the gishwhes website and also tweet to @MyHopeChest your awesome results on the final day of the game. Extra points for incorporating butterflies into the design. – Ruth Connell

Item 166 – #WaywardAF #BadassAF
Being #WaywardAF sometimes means being #BadassAF. Take a picture of you doing something you have ALWAYS wanted to do but were afraid to try. Caption your photo with a short explanation and post it to Twitter tagging @OfficialBrianaB and @kimrhodes4real. – Briana Buckmaster and Kim Rhodes
Lucinda has always wanted to create her own GISHWHES items, so she went meta and assigned personalized challenges to various team members.
Custom Hunt Items
166.1

166.3
Kyla – Show us what it means to be a strong & beautiful witch.
I went meta on your meta, Lou.
I’ve always wanted to share a picture of myself post-breakdown.
A few friends were concerned that this image was too sad to convey strength. I want to challenge that idea. I used to work really hard not to feel my feelings because it wasn’t strong. I think my ability to feel is one of my greatest strengths now, and I want to share that.
In my intimate circle of witch sisters, I’m a famous for epic breakdowns. Whatever I’m feeling, I feel to the fullest. It’s been a big piece of my spiritual journey to reclaim my emotional sensitivity as a power (and not see it as a huge inconvenience to me and everyone else) but it is a gift… so many people shared with me the beauty and strength they felt in witnessing me go to my fullest – and how it felt when I brought them there too. This is one more step on the path to reclaiming my full self, sharing this with GISHWHES. On Thursday, I dressed up as a zombie for work, then got in the car and screamed my throat sore over heartbreak, then sobbed and sobbed, then pulled it together for an ocean scene burrito eating Cali perfection shot – then more tears, and a captured photo of the wreckage. All in a day’s work for a strong and beautiful witch. We just keep going, and living, and feeling it all, and that’s the legacy I want to leave.
Oh, and the moon, because she gets it too.
<3 Thank you for this incredibly special and personal GISH opportunity.

Behind the Scenes
Item 152 – Beautiful Binary Poem
Item 148 – Identity in the 21st Century
Item 126 – Misha and the Queen in the Wild West
Item 125 – Misha and the Queen Commemorative Coin
This year was HRH’s 90th birthday, but more importantly, it is the 7th anniversary of Misha Collins and The Queen’s torrid on-again, off-again relationship. I’d like to see a commemorative coin displayed in a fitting setting. Its value is one haypenny and this is not a drawing or a computer generated graphic. It’s a real, metal alloy coin commemorating this auspicious anniversary. – Inspired by Monica Duff
Item 120 – Beauty is on the Inside
Beauty is on the inside. Photoshop a revised version of your reflection in a mirror. Show us a photo of you standing in front of a mirror. But the reflection we see is what you look like on the inside. Interpret this however you like with the caption on the image: “Beauty is on the inside.” – Inspired by Abi Perry
Item 119 – Your Pet’s Heavy Metal Album
Item 118 – Bob Ross Time Lapse
Time-lapse this submission to 30 seconds or less. Paint a Bob Ross painting. We must see both the painter replicating the Bob Ross painting and the playback of the Bob Ross video the painter is replicating. You must paint in real-time while he is painting. The video should end with a side-by-side comparison of your masterpiece and Bob Ross’s.
