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 :)

MISSYOUU'

Stardoll Generation 2

After a disasterous Star_Awards party, I was musing on the future of the website we all know & love. So many people gone now... Fever_Cole, Youlovelorie, writemarycat, Sudanese.Beauty, Audreyhep4, Modelisous, Springate *cough cough* that brought amusement and success are now gone forever. *Chokes with coughing so hard*. So what is the new generation ?

Well it seems that self-proclamed elites are getting rarer by the minute. Soon, a fourty-year old fakeshake3 will be reminiscing over the good old days, where everyone was equal, you could loophole until your brain fuzzed and backstabbing didn't exist. A desperate someone will try to create a sensational party in their guestbook, DKNY will become more important than friendship, loyalty, decency and any other value your parents have tried to teach you ? Someone else boasting to own more Vuitton than common sense ? You get the picture.

Will sStardoll ever resurface to it's former glory ? Will their ever be another Style Magazine, clique of friends that hold your virtual destiny in their pixelized mitts ? I don't think so. Those were probably better times, more fun, more healthy, where their lives didn't evolve round a computer screen. You could even lie on who you are: another girl-becomes-boy, fake name, fake identity and you can become someone overnight. I'm no example, I trust my friends implicitly, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of them owned up to being Elizabeth I.

So why stay on ? I have two simple reasons: Friends & Fashion. The Balmain jacket I could never wear in real life. Chinisua, lunuszka, bowiee, .Micky, OhSoCoco- and all the rest I will meet. Because in spite of everything, along their sides I've had some pretty awesome times. Of course the fundaments of Stardoll are great. I'm probably soon due a rehab for my square-eyes to go normal again; and during that time, a few friends can share the account, because I trust them enough to do that. May the sprungates and co see the light: it's their life. Their "fabulous" lifes behind computers picking fights, lying and scamming. Yawn On.

Archives Of Horror.

I sometimes really doubt of the stardoll staff's intellect. Have you come across the new store, Starplaza Archive ? Oh, I've really been beating myself up for not getting a vile green cardigan that was available during months. I think that this decision was made after popular demands of old DKNY. Yes, I'll confess, I've often dreamed of the day when Stardoll will get those sequinned leggings on the net. Meanwhile, a pair of hideous city shorts... Nope, me neither.

So I'm hoping they go waaay back in time to get the RB's on. If not, boycott.

Do you like these *nasty* re-edits ? No worries, I won't judge you if you do...

TheNewTopModel - Where, When, Why.

I'm doing this post to A) Announce the very soon interview with yaelalon, winner of Chinisua's competition TheNewTopModel and B) Justify my backing-up of yaelalon against itgonnarain.
It was a managerial decision, that was quite hard to make considering many things. The sole reasons for me were that we both felt yaelalon's creativity in sceneries and style were what we had both in mind to how the winner was going to be. She had a bit more va-va-voom -to quote Chinisua- and despite some slip-ups and delays on tasks, we felt that she was The One for winner. And yes, she did make us laugh: It was clearly stated in the presentation, a model ain't just a pretty face, she has personnalité, idées, creativité.
It was C.'s idea to send them a questionnaire because she was in a bit of a dilemma to "who-to-choose". I wrote the questions, and we waited for answers before the final agreement. And although I was touched by itgonnarain's entry, our favourite was yaelalon's witty, sharp one that oozed honesty and humour. I felt bad after this questionnaire however: having been a non-superstar previously, I understood Blair's aspirations to be a role-model for non-superstars. I think she already is, with a lot of experience on virtual modelling, and I know she will go far, and get that ultimate recognition she's one step away from.
So I hope this will appease the angry from our decision, and make you understand your choice.
Ps: If you think this blog is GREAT, then on Stardoll, Je suis the proud owner of Tartan and we'll keep you updated on posts and all.

Bonne vie mes gens, Xxx, B.londie

Elitistastastique

I can't say just how surprised I am at finding Blair Waldorf on Stardoll. I mean, she sure covers up well, no one could have guessed that Fever_Cole actually is portrayed in Gossip Girl. Apparently she doesn't talk to non-elites, and anyone under that status is the scum of the Earth; as she clearly stated to bliss_magazine, if you don't have the "star-quality" you're wasting your wasting her time with her...

Let me resume the situation: bliss_magazine offered Fever_Cole a position in her upcoming magazine, Bliss. And you might've discovered previously, Fever stated that she thought the idea totally ridiculous: as if someone as important as herself could be a simple team member. In fact she precised of her calibre. She really understands the industry.

And this is where I Stardoll is so tragically comique: someone who, instead of politely thanking and declining the offer, hints that the person's magazine is trash in their eyes and tells tem in no uncertain tones that they aren't on the same level. Behaviour like that is supposed to come from people who have achieved a bit more than employing dolls to serve virtual snacks usually, non ?

Do you think Mademoiselle Fever_Cole went a bit overboard, or would you call this normal ? Well visibly Undamyumbrellla wasn't impressed: Fever_Cole was off the Best Friends list before you could say LadyGagaGoHome...
