Five minutes with... Rockabilly.

Well, to dust the blog up a bit and keep posting, I and Chinisua have decided that a weekly column featuring a short biography about a Fabulous Nobody, an unknown yet stylish person on Stardoll plus five questions would help you lot not entirely desert us... Today, we're celebrating our Five Minutes With... Rockabilly. !
Our first ever girl is Amelie, from England. As known as Rockabilly. on Stardoll, she's a kooky, cool seventeen year old with a fresh face and an eye for photos. But don't think she's just a rockabilly: she mixes up fashions with talent, and is actually rather nice. And did I mention just how cool she is ? Yeah ? Well, see for yourselves.
1. What's so great about Stardoll ?There are many reasons that I can't help returning to Stardoll, and I'm sure many of us have contemplated wether or not it is worth our free time. However I came to the conclusion that, although it seems childlike in appearance, it is so much more than a simple dress up game. I have spoken to so many amazing people from all walks of life, something I would never have done otherwise. It's always there, wether I'm in a bad mood or have exciting new fashion ideas to express. And of course, I love to dress up dolls (or not dress Robert Pattinson hehe)
2. Apart from "Doll International", what are your favourite websites ?The internet is so vast! I mean what if I get the sudden urge to buy the entire series of The power Puff Girls? Ebay.com of course, the saviour to any girl on a budget. Phillip Lim dress for £100? Haha, perfect.Of course there is YouTube.com, now in all honesty, maybe watching every episode of America's Next Top Model in 3 days is a little extreme, but I just NEEDED to know who won... Oh and I can watch Australia's Next Top Model too! Perfecto. Also, dazeddigital.com the site equivalent of Dazed & Confused Magazine.
3. Hot tip for next season ? Hot tip, hmm. I would look out for the new line from Twenty8Twelve (by Sienna Miller) She's been wearing it recently and every piece has been exquisite, if not a little high street. I live near London, and If you ever get to shop there visit Rellik a great vintage boutique, and in Manchester go to RyansVintage for super cheap items and unbelievable choice. In terms of fashion items:- Transparent textiles- Mixing Denims- Art canvas
4. Define your country in three (ish) words.England- Grey, cultural-diversity, Unforgiving
5. Who ae your fashion and life heroes ?Fashion and life heros come separately without a doubt.Fashion: Calvin Klein for being my first fashion romance, Vivienne Westwood for being the queen, Anna Sui for for filling all my fashion dreams.Life: People who love. people who live and people who laugh. My dad.
If you want to be featred here too and think you have what it takes feel free to apply in my (Englily) guestbook on Stardoll.

Ignorance...

Recently this blog has been on a downturn. BUT FEAR NOT! I'm back and ready to post.

Yet, my return doesn't change the depressing state of stardoll. WHERE ARE THE DRAMA QUEENS?!?! The once plentiful well of drama that is stardoll has long dried up. My plan? Try and salvage as much scandal is possible. So I'm saying- "Out with the old, and in with the new." We want fresh faces.... Not Fakeshake4, or whatever her name is.

My Stardoll Chastity

Yup guys, I'm doing the whole I'm-taking-a-break thing. And d'you know what ? It's harder than what I thought...
Every day I went on Stardoll since April. I've never not been on it for a week. Faulty Internet connexions, holidays or bans have never been obstacles for a die-hard user. And every time I've gone on the computer, it was mechanical to log on. So two days ago, when I decided that I was taking a break, I thought it would be easy. Just forget about virtual life a bit. But the problem is that it seems virtual life was taking over real life. I've been known to stay on here for... seven hours a day. F*ck that seems a lot. I have no brothers or sisters, a good but somewhat contented-by-little social life. So loneliness has kind of been a side of my life that I'd never really noticed. On Stardoll I've met some pretty fantastic people, I chatted to them and they became my social life. Of course, I have friends in real life, and I never neglected them over Stardoll, but in real life, people are different. They can just disappoint you more easily.
Anyway, I must admit, I just entered my account. To check mail, to see what Chinisua's done to me (love it) and look at my guestbook... and I've realized how much I think about Stardoll. I think about buying, decorating, designing. Has a website turned me into a die-hard consumer, no-lifeist obsessionalist ? Have I changed myself so bad that I'm just Englily with a touch of Lily ? I hope not, yet the way my fingers itch towards typing in Stardoll.com is waaay disturbing. So when I'm officially back, looks as though I'm going to have to change something. I had fun, but I'll have fun in the new life too. Let's drink to that :)
