Spotlight On: Club RGOH — the Fashionistas of Home
by Burbie52, HSM team writer
There are many kinds of clubs in Home based on many different things — though some seem to have no base at all, and many times they fail because of that fact. In order to have a strong group, I would contend you have to have a common interest. Something that you all enjoy in Home that keeps you coming back to the group for more.
A group of very diverse women have come together in Home to create just such a club: the Rich Girls of Home.
In the case of the Rich Girls of Home, that common cause is fashion; all of them truly enjoy the fashions of Home and putting together winning combinations of them to reflect their own personal styles. They are very good at this and at throwing fashion events in various clubs in their network of members. Some of these events are very cleverly designed, and they are well rehearsed to help make them look as much like real fashion shows as possible.
The club was started by Wolfen40 in May of 2011, and grew large enough to create the other two chapters by October. I asked Wolfen40 why she decided to create this club. She replied, “I wanted us as women to be represented and have a voice in this new social media, to be able to speak our ideas and show our talent. This is a showcase to allow women to display their talents and creativity when dealing with fashion in Home.”
"Girls just wanna have fun"
Some people wonder what the “rich'” part of the name stands for, so I asked Wolfen40 why she choose the name:
“To set us apart from the other clubs,” she replied. “It isn’t about money at all; it’s about character, about how we conduct ourselves in Home and in real life.”
The motto for the club says it all: “Rich in friendship, rich in character, we are the Rich Girls of Home.” It isn’t about money at all, it is about being there for each other, being a good example to others and being in style when it comes to fashion in Home. The clubs rules are these:
- You promise to support all of your sisters.
- You promise to respect all of your sisters.
- You promise to always be in fashion.
The last rule primarily pertains to when you are at fashion events or club meetings. The fashions don’t necessarily have to be the most recent; it is about style, not whether you can always afford the newest things.
The RGOH started as a group within PSTalent, and all of the members are members there as well, myself included. They started small, as most clubs do, but quickly grew into a very large club. They are large enough now that they have chapters of the club in both Europe and Japan Home as well. They have about sixty to seventy members between them all, and have a group area on PStalent.com.
WingsWalk
There are many members who throw fashion shows in their own clubs as well, but they are still a part of RGOH. A recent one was the WingsWalk: a kind of take-off on the Victoria’s Secret angels, it took place in Eternalwings‘ clubhouse. It was a lot of fun and very successful — although it is not that easy to find what might be counted as lingerie in Home, so bathing suits fit the bill as well as a few other outfits.
Another highly successful event was the winter wardrobe event given at Christmas time in one of the EU clubs by Kop-2. It was good to see all of the members come together with their guests and enjoy themselves during the holidays.
There is a large public event planned for some time during this spring, to be called the Global Gathering fashion show. In it, all of the chapters will be represented, as well as a few outside fashion clubs also will be invited. There will be rewards given and independent judges will be used to pick the winners. It will consist of twelve female and twelve male models this time. It’s great that the Rich Girls are opening up the doors to male fashion as well. Perhaps we will see a male version of this in Home at some point, though women do tend to be more fashion conscious as a group.
Members in the base club include Joanna_Dark, tbaby2008, COCOBABY_84, CorisuCat, DreamOliah, EternalWingsMIV, GOOD-TIMES-GIRL, HOME-helpers1, JRM29M, KOP-2, LadyT3190,Bellalara, Lizardwrestler99, Machete_D, Matjesbrot, MissMajor, PrincessVirginia, SANDY_GIRL_09, SHELLY-DIVA-34, StephieRawks, Tilaa, cutter2222, iiiiieeeeeiiiie, ktrip86, llSupernova, queenBiz, seren77777, tunsy84, and x_Luvbunni3_x.
The two clubs that are based in Japan and European Home are doing quite well. They have some different fashions there than SCEA Home, so this gives the clubs there a chance to strut their different clothing lines in shows that are given there. The beauty of it being a clubhouse and therefore private is it allows the owners to add girls from SCEA Home as well, so there can be fashion shows that combine clothing from all the versions of Home at the same time.
Rich Girls is the first all-girl club I have come across in Home so far, and if they are any indication of what can be accomplished when a wonderfully diverse group of women put there heads together, then Home has a bright future ahead of it. They are all devoted to Home and its fashions, and I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for them as they grow.

It must be great to see fashions from other regions. Do you give feedback to developers as to likes and dislikes?
