Decades

There is now a new store in the star plaza. It is called Decades. It has some clothes from the 20's and 30's. They are from the dolls Coco Chanel, Decades, and Rosa Parks. I really like the new clothes, am a big fan of retro fashion. Hopefully they will come out with some 60's or 80's clothes soon. Most of the clothes are superstar but there is a few items and accessories you can get non-superstar. Make sure to check it out!

fashionista on the loose

Just scanning through `dolls on stardoll, I came across this gorgeous doll. I think her style is totally creative, and to be honest, from the people I've seen have the same hairstyle as hers, she's the first one I've seen to really rock it.

ALSO : something to think about is her lip shade she has on, if you go to her page, you can get a better look, but it appears pretty popular through the dolls I've been to recently.

Check her out ! ( and click picture to enlarge. ) - Maggie.

New Look

Most of you have seen the new competition for the New Looks Generation dress up competition. I saw this dress, worn by some memebers on Stardoll, but it was not new in the shops yet. Than I figured it must have been for the competition and that was what the winners had gotten. So I just went on, but then as I was searching through the dresses in the shops I saw this one. It has not came out in the new section yet, but if you search it will be under pink dresses in the Starplaza. I really like this dress, so now you can go pick it up in the Starplaza. It is hotbuys too!

Commenting? That's new

I have personally commented in Singingmermaids guest book a lot of times, Not once have I gotten a reply. Is it because it was regarding a sale....or because guest book flow is slower than usual...:

worth your saving up

Horra for the "pink" month.
Just giving a bit of an addition to what tess wrote about the organization stardoll is helping out with. And it's soooo worth it ! I'm sure we can admit we've bought something on stardoll that's just a bunch of randomness, but buying one of the following items is totally worth it. Even if you onlu get the small ribbon for $2, you know you're helping with the cause.

Here are the things you can purchase, hurry and get them quick because october's almost over, and you don't wanna miss out on these great clothes, or this great organization! // Maggie.

Pink for October

In the shop they added a new store called Pink for October. It is sponsoring October breast cancer awareness month. I think it is great that Stardoll is supporting this cause. If you click on the pink ribbon located in the shop it will bring you to a website where you can help support breast cancer. Not only is it supporting a good cause but they have some cute clothes. Make sure to stop by and take a look.

Stardoll Screw-up

I just now noticed that the shape of some me-dolls head has shown up weird. It looks like it is all joined together at their neck. I saw the covergirl for Oct. 20 had that problem but when I clicked on the doll it did not show up like that. Has Stardoll screwed up again?

-Tess

-NEW` [ Scenery Addition ]

Stardoll has gone and changed the

format for creating sceneries! :]

I personally love the new-ness Of it.

It's so much easier to use.

PLUS you can now ROTATE things!

How fun is that? lol

can you see the catwalk ?

When I'm bored on stardoll, I often tend to go and vote for things :
-rate people for cg
-rate some designs
-rate some catwalk designs.

And the catwalk design is what I spent my time on. I almost forgot about the feature, considering 75% of the dolls, are wearing something... odd in my opinion, or just aren't wearing anything at all. The thing that bothers me most, is that the dolls that aren't wearing anything, are the ones that appear the most. The doll that looks as if an effort has been put into the outfit, is the one that shows up once.

I wanted to get peoples opinions on the catwalk, because I myself, am not fond of the feature, but the people I asked, either didn't know what I was talking about, or said they didn't vote for the outfits very often, if they even do.

If you wanna check it out,
here's where you have to go on your stardoll page. When you do, give me your thoughts.

What do you think?

I'm in the process of begging my parents to let me buy more stardollars but so far its a no.

:P

-Melody

Little Miss Spelling.

Seems as though stardoll has gone and made yet another mistake...Although this one happened a few years/months ago. Stardoll has a reputation for making mistakes...Here is one that I have seen recently...:

I'm pretty sure that is supose to say " Stardoll party skirt" Not " Satrdoll Party skirt"








If you find any other mistakes like this let me know! :]








- Melody.

GLiTCH!

Urgh. Stardoll has made me mad with yet another glitch. I am in a comp. for the club " TheElegance" and in the first round we have to save our favourite outfit in our album but everytime I try to save it, this happens:

As this happened to anyone else?

shopping mania !

There's so much happening in the starplaza right now, to me it's even a bit overwhelming.

1. Taking out the whole channel line = upsetting a lot of people.
2. Renovating the starplaza = confusion/ mixed opinions.
3. The constant problem with the clothing added = mixed opinions.

Sd-trends has already updated you with the problems happening with the channel line, and coming soon are things on the new renovation. But what I want to focus on is the clothing stardoll has been adding. These days, a lot of which consisting of clothing that had already been in the store, making it pointless for people to spend their superstar money collecting rares, considering that many of them make their way back to the starplaza. Though I have never been a superstar, I can understand the frusteration they must feel, to spend $40 on a dress, and for it to come back to the starplaza.

I, being a member since last year, know the old clothing, and know the new clothing, so I spent some time looking through the star-shops, seeing what "older" clothing has come back. What I noticed, is that the stuff that came back, aren't a) as cheap as they had been back in the day, or b) barely anything avaible to non-superstars.- Maggie ( love.maggie on sd )

Here's a sample of the stuff I found :

Snazzy Plazza.

Here are a few images of stardoll's NEW Starplazza:

I personally really like the new layout.

What'a bout` you?

-Melody

WTF Stardoll?!

Okay so I was going through my clothes trying to figure out what to wear when I noticed that my double C Chanel tank was ruined. Now I'm not saying that I spilt something on it cause that would be virtually impossible, but the famous Chanel double C signature was gone off the front of my shirt! Now these once adorable Chanel tanks, are just plain white tank tops with black stripes. What is going on stardoll? First it was the Chanel bags, then the perfume, then the belt and now the tank? I feel as though we need to make stardoll aware that they are making us mad by taking our gorgeous, virtual Chanel clothes and ruining them. It's a conpiracy!


1) Have you noticed these changes?
2) In your opinion, why is stardoll doing this?

Stardoll Shop Not so Hot?

Lately the Stardoll shop has had some hideous clothes. For example the new Musketeer theme and the horse riding clothes. I think maybe Stardoll is running out of ideas. After all Stardolls logo is Fame, Fashion and Friends. Finally as I was looking at the shop I saw that some new clothes had came out from the new Gabrielle Anwar doll. These clothes were at leasta bit decent. Go check out the new section of the plaza and tell us what you think.

attention to the dolls

I don't know about you, but after they renovated the "dolls/games" page on stardoll, I haven't really been dressing up dolls. But yesterday, I went back to the page, and dressed up some of the newer stardolls they had to offer, and I think they're back with making most of the dolls with quality clothes. For those who don't understand what I mean, I'd say a month or two ago, the doll's that were being made had very few variety of clothing, and the doll quality was just crap.

One of my favourites that I've dressed up recently, was Natalie Portman. Below is an image of some of the clothing I liked most, and if you're interested in dressing her up, just go to the following html ( copy/paste)

I'm totally loving all the floral dresses, and they flow so nicely. Check it out. =] - Maggie

new fall look.

With a new season coming, you gotta love the new trends that come with it, and when you need new trends, sd-trends, is on the loose, finding them and updating you. One i've noticed, is everyone's love of purple ( ! ), and it's catching on in stardoll too. As I was searching through some of the fabulous stardoll users, ( and the not so fab ) I found something I really liked, and asked the user if she didn't mind sharing the look, and I think its totally working for the fall

( if you want step-by-step info on how to do the makeup, let me know * love.maggie*, but I figured it's easy enough by looking at the picture. ) - W. Maggie

Amazing Creations

As i was browsing through Stardoll i saw Xlou26 outfit and I though it stood out. At first i was thinking, it was just a rare dress, so I clicked on it to see what it was and saw it was made out of curtains from the mini-shop. Xlou26 has managed to impress me again. I though I would share her creativity with the rest of Stardoll, since i enjoyed seeing it so much, hope you all feel the same.

Here are some other outfits from members on Stardoll i though I would share with you all.

Monroe...

Monroe... added a touch of color to a simple outfit to make it absolutley stunning. The touch of ruffles makes it stand out more, and the red shoes and belt tie it all together.

IIna.l0ves.Y0ux

IIna.L0ves.Y0ux used some of my favorite colors together beige, yellow, and tan. These colors were blended perfectly together to make a gorgeous outfit suitable for anything.

Hay is for horses.

Hey everyone. I think most or all of us know about the latest trend sweeping stardoll! Yes that's right the " Horse Hair"! Stardoll submitted the single strand of horse hair to the shop yesterday. Most who saw it jumped on the fact that this was a perfect oportunity to let their created juices flow. Some more than others. Bellow is an example of the way to use the hair, This picture is the medoll of bluegreen86. :] Stunning isn't she!?!?!

The horse hair unfourtunatly has been removed from the minishop but is exspected to come back later today or tomorrow. Be on the look out.











Love you all,


Melody.

Monthly Gift Club?

So I was just taking a little look around stardoll and realized, wait a second, where did the monthly gift club go? If anyone else has noticed this please speak up so I know it's not just me. Even though the monthly gift club gave you only white clothes some of them were kind of cute if you paired them with other cute things. I think that stardoll should be bringing it back.

BTW, I wish us girls could make our monthly gifts just disappear like stardoll has :P

1) Have you noticed the disappearance of the monthly gift club?

2) Yay or Nay? Should stardoll bring back the monthly gift club?

SO CREATIVE!

I just randomly went to visit MadMacMom's suite and I did not believe what my eyes saw. MadMacMom has created THE perfect " Cruella de vil." Outfit complete with 11 dalmation puppies by her side. I myself think that it is a master piece, see for yourself:

Isn't that fantastic?

Cheat for Former Superstars:

Hey; thought it would be a great idea to share this with you:
It's a cheat for people who used to be superstars to get the free volie dresses'.

Pick one of these and put it in your address bar:

Free things? Or Free Bribes.

Hello everyone...I just thought I'd like to point out to some of the people who may not off gotten this message from stardoll....well mostly the non-superstars ( No offense ). But I think it is super awesome for stardoll to be giving us free dresses but it only makes me wonder if they are only doing it to encourage us to keep up our superstar membership, then it just becomes a nothing piece of clothing in your closet. ( Too some)

Enough chitter-chatter here are our choices:

I myself personally chose the orange one but after buying the last two I now own them all :]

Comments:

1) Which would you pick?

2) Nice thought, or trying too hard?
