Five minutes with... horse729

So as you might know, this is the sequel to our first "Five minutes with..." and this week we found not just a girl. So much more than a girl... She is Wren. Wren is fourteen, from England. Wren the up-and-coming one, the honest one, the lycra catsuit in a world of jeans. A whirlwind of sharp, smart and fierce, a girl who just exudes something most of us wished we had, an It quality... Don't believe me ? Well, read ahead !

1. What's so great about Stardoll ?I first joined because of the paperdolls, which I still love, but now I go on because of the creative and social aspects. Right now, I am refurbishing my suite, which has me going on every day to collect my free five stardollars. I also love visiting people's suites to see their outfits and to get ideas. I may have a small friends list, but I chat with so many diverse people in their guestbooks.
2. Apart from "Doll International", what are your favourite websites (and why) ?I love YouTube.com because you get free music videos AND the hilarious nigahiga. I also ah-dore nymag.com because they have everything you could every want on fashion shows, designers, and models and net-a-porter.com because of their great deals and last season's buys. I do have a certain fondness for the stardoll blogspots like yours, which feature cheats, news, and members.
3. Hot tip for next season ?Try to incorporate more of the 1970s in your outfits. I think we are headed in that, nature-inspired, direction.
4. Define your country in three words. Obama-Rama, Anti-Racist, Racist.
5. Who are your fashion and life heroes ?My fashion heroes are Mary Quant, Coco Chanel, and the Olsen twins (they started the Birkin trend!). Coco Chanel broke into the world of fashion and business that was mostly a man's, with a few women playing puppets, Mary Quant brought so many trends and fads that it is incredible that so few people recognize as much. I also idolize Yves St. Laurent. Like Mary Quant, he made his name during the '60s and he was just amazing. My real life heroes are all of the wonderful, marvelous people who lost their lives helping others during the September 11th terrorist attack and those who make something out of nothing.

Yaelalon, The New Top Model Winner!

"Sometimes i have this feeling, when im almost exploding from andrenalin, getting high from a blast of inspiration."

This was the phrase that started everything. One of the longest applications, the most intriguing. The one that got her to this blog.You might know Michelle. On Stardoll, you'll see someone called yaelaon who looks like she's from another fashion planet, entirely. On a blog, you'll see a picture of an outfit she wore to a party and say to yourself: "How did she think that one up ?". You'll go on to her page, and she's wearing something so avant-garde it hurts. So out of the box, it's shocking. And you'll maybe love it, possibly hate it. But there's no way you'll think it's boring. And you can feature her on the best and worst dressed lists, it ain't going to change her style...

Michelle won The New Top Model, the Stardoll competition run by Chinisua, due to her charisma, personnality and individualism. Her sceneries were original, her style was good, her wit was better. She's interesting, her growing club Smartalk is a rare club that's not about fashion but intellect. She's fashionable, a sort of Gareth Pugh muse force two. She's inspiring, after visiting her page, I want to know how to layer and use furniture. She's Michelle, and this is who she is.

1. So after this competition, are you going off to conquer Stardoll on more modeling challenges ?
The next top model was a great challenge, and I think it’s enough for me for now. But who knows! Maybe someone would want me to model for a Stardoll magazine or something.

2. Was it a surprise for you to be chosen?
To be honest, yes. I was sure Blair will win, because she was so professional and her photos were usually perfect. I won’t lie, I had great moments in the competition and I think I was good. But I was quite messy and unprofessional, no?

3. Your style is extremely unique, has your doll's style changed much since your beginning?
It definitely changed a lot. I know that we all love to hate Stardoll, but I owe them for bringing me into the fashion world. When I made my Stardoll account, I was just a girl who liked to dress up dolls. But Stardoll introduced me to fashion, and the rest is history! Haha

4. Are you easily inspired? What makes your imagination tilt for an outfit?
I am inspired by everything! I can give you a great example: Some days ago I met a 95 years old woman. She was crazily interesting as a person, but from the group of people I’ve been with, I was the only one who looked at her clothes. When I came back home, I spent hours on drawing clothes inspired by her.But it’s not always like that; sometimes I just create an outfit from my imagination. I am a very inspired person, but I don’t NEED inspiration for an outfit.

5. Do you believe in elites, or consider yourself one?
I like Stardoll not only because of fashion, but also because of the social life in it. I believe Stardoll is a bit like Hollywood! When you think about it, Stardoll has 30 million members, which is a huge amount of people. So members like Fakeshake3, Style_Magazine, Singingmermaid and others really are famous! I mean, about 1-5 million people probably know their name, which is like being a celeb. So I don’t believe in the term “elite”, but obviously, there are more famous and less famous celebs in Hollywood. I personally enjoy being the not-very-famous celeb who you know because some tabloid dished her crazy avant-garde outfit once! :P

6. Do you get more attention as time goes by?
I’m not sure. I get more attention when I wear crazy things!

7. Do you believe in narcissism?
I am a bit narcissistic myself, but I hate it. I don’t think that narcissism is a good thing, but it exists and it’s very hard to control it when you have it. I try not to hurt people with my narcissism, and only to annoy myself with it.

8. Do you care what people think about what you wear?
I really do! I like attention, and one of the reasons that I like fashion is because clothes make people look at you in different ways. I love when people give me those “WTF?” or “you are weird…” looks on the street.I won’t lie, sometimes I don’t have the guts to wear something because I’m scared of how people will respond, but I really hate myself when I am like that.

9. Do you still see yourself on Stardoll for the years to come?
I enjoy my time on Stardoll, but I’m sure that I will leave one day, where I will find a fashion lovers community in real life. But there are some people who I will stay in touch with!

10. What is your proudest achievement, real life or virtual?
Ouch. I hate to say it, but I can’t think of any achievement that I am proud of.

11. Are there any people you hate on Stardoll? (dish the gossip :P)
Well there are some people who I hate. I won’t say specific names, but I can’t stand snobby people.And we all hate Callie, no?

12. Best oufit you've ever worn ?
It was a long black dress that I borrowed from my grandmother, a vintage jacket which is the best clothing piece I have, a pair of blue flats, an old ladies vintage hat, and a pearls necklace. I wore it to my aunt’s wedding.Now that I think about it, I think my proudest achievement is wearing that outfit.

13. And in real life, who are you, what do you do ?
Arghh, it is so hard to describe myself in a few words! So...Want to know me in real life? Look for a weird looking girl in the streets of Tel-Aviv :D
