January HotBuys

Hey.

These are the January Hot Buys, released by Stardoll recently as a new doll and (I think) in the magazine.

"Whatcha think about that?" =] I'm asking you right now. Okay, that was random, but I just saw an ad on TV for the Pussycat Dolls CD with that song, so .. What's your opinion on the new stuff? I like most of them, but some of the stuff just don't fit in. Like the earrings, which are (to me) rather exaggerated. Everything else is fabulous, and I just love the handbag/purse!

Merry Christmas! =]

Hi. =]

I'm sorry I haven't been posting for so long. It's just that (read my blog) I've been suffering from a form of "depression". But I'm ok now .. I think. Well, Christmas sure made me better!

And I've been totally busy with prep for X'mas celebrations. Buying presents, making presents, doing gift tags, cutting and pasting, buying food, and celebrating! It's already Christmas Day, but yesterday's party was the best. Hopefully tonight's party will be fab too!

Have you gotten your $15 yet? It's in the Advent Calendar. And there is the totally weird new interior. It's exactly like the Minimalism one, except there's fireworks in the background. *shakes head*

One more cool thing: FREE GIFT CODES! It's like this; join the club TopModell or Emporium or both. There's this post in TopModell about getting a free gift code if you're accepted into Emporium (it's private). I'm a member of both .. but she hasn't sent me the gift code yet. I'm seriously starting to think it's just a con or something. Seriously wacky. If anyone knows anything, please comment!

Well, Merry Christmas! What did you guys get for presents?

xoxo

Adios.

P.S. I was at my friend's home yesterday for the party till 3am 'cos we were playing with their Nintendo Wii. =)

Hey.

I'm posting on the new Elizabeth and James brand that came out in the StarPlaza.

I'm going to have a look at the history of the brand. And btw, there's a new competition that you have to design something with the new clothes in StarDesign, since they only cost $1 and are dead cheap, plus it's for non-SS too. You stand a chance to win a necklace, or/and a signed copy of MK and A's book (if you're a winner). Read the post in the magazine for more info.

But what I'm interested to know; how will they mail the book/necklace if the winner doesn't live where 'Callie' and the team live?

I like the blue dress, the bluish-grey skirt, the boots (both of them), the white short and the black jeans. You?

Some news.

The StarPlaza New Shop Ratings

Okay, Stardoll, what's this? ELLE Boutique? Hm, let's see.

Status:

1) Clothes — OK. Some are actually quite gorgeous. 7/10

2) Superstar or Non-Superstar or both? — Superstar. Obviously. Unfair, too.

3) Limited? (How can we be sure after LE?) — Nope!

I've got one question. When you click on that blue dress, it says something like Emerald Bubble Dress or something like that.

The long-overdue LE introduction:

Status:

1) Clothes — some are absolutely gorgeous! Others I wouldn't really die for. 8/10

2) Superstar or Non-Superstar or both? — Superstar. That would be quite obvious, since Stardoll's really unfair. ='(

3) Limited? — Yeah! This is the really wacko part. Why limited?

Really, some of the outfits displayed there are to die for. But unfortunately, even if I was SS, by the time I saw this there were only two items left. Strange, hmm?

You seen the George Sampson interview in the magazine? Wow ... that Lauren is so lucky! She actually got to meet him. You should have seen the comments. Watch it ... and his videos. The latter is on YouTube, unless you're lucky enough to have seen the live performance (I have a friend who was in the video) and filmed it.

Postscript:

Someone commented in my previous post about me insulting dodence_bt & friends by saying they're pathetic. Just a little message to you, dear friend. Please read the post very carefully. I have highlighted certain parts in different colours, because they're parts of a message.

If you read the post following my instructions, the person who said dodence_bt & friends were pathetic is someone (anonymous) who went by the name of BuTtErCuP^puFf and there's no link to the user page. Please note this kind of information before accusing people next time.

However, if you took offense at what I said, I apologize for posting such things. But as I said in my reply, I was merely reporting the argument and I did give comments from people on both sides. Thanks.

Medoll Memoires Melodrama

Hey!

Sorry I haven't been, like, posting a lot. I am really busy right now. It was, like, right out of exams & school & a huge plunge straight into my ballet rehearsals. Busy, busy, busy. As the choreographer said, this probably isn't that surprising, since it is going to be a very professional production of The Nutcracker. Dancer's word.

OK, Stardoll's been soooooo boring these days. After the expensive Limited Edition & Philosophy, anything cheap is a relief. Alberta Ferreti also out, & speaking of RCs, it's RC week & it features Faith Hill. & the advent calendar with its free stuff (what's the bet on Christmas Day we'll all get free money?) But this is all old news.

Considering that Stardoll has been a bore recently, I managed to find plenty of drama in another, separate Stardoll world; the user blogs. This time, the melodrama is revolving around Medoll Memoires, the celebrated new blog done by Noelle Page, Isabelle Arci & the recent addition, Vittorio. & that's where all the drama comes in. & — can you believe it? — the big fuss is about ... graphics & the people who design them.

To sum it all up, there's an online war on graphics designing going on: Vittorio vs Anti-Vittorio. The Anti-Vittorios are people like dodence_bt, Blogger user 'Rebekah', 'Fay' and some others. The rest of us are merely by-standers in their world of war and supporting a side. (I know there are some very fierce supporters — please correct me if I'm wrong.) Some people mulishly support the fact that Vittorio's ability to do wonderful graphics are amazing, some are just stubbornly saying that anyone can do the same. [It is a rather lame argument if you ask me, the type where people will argue for sooooooo long they become incoherent (in real life) and they forget what the disagreement was about in the first place.]

As I commented on one of the more recent posts concerning the abuse & insults thrown by people at Vittorio & helping Vittorio, I think that everyone is talented (in some way, at least) & that they should all learn to live with each other & appreciate each other's talents. I could never do that well with Photoshop (which they all admit/say they use) no matter how long I stared at the computer. (I am not really willing to try, anyway. I am one of the only two girls who don't wear glasses, & I do not wish to let Hannah be the only one.) Just being able to filter, layer and do whatever they say they do is something amazing, if you ask me.

Here's what some people think:

Mario [dodence_bt] isnt like that, Mario's my best friend, He's really sweet and nice... Trust me, He isnt rude at all, for my option, he's the sweetest boy i know! ~ arna_rut

'It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.'
-Aeschylus

Need I say more?
I don't. But I will anyway.

Maybe Vittorio does not design his own clothes, but that does not mean it does not take skill to do what he does. ~ Magazine-Critic

Wow, do you honestly think you're winning approval by calling another person names?
I'm sure you think YOU are talented in some respect.
Way to be hypocritical.
(I'm also very interested to see what sort of defense you can feebly conjure) ~ Chelse

Dodence_bt and his friends are way too PATHETIC!!!

YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING REALLY REALLY STUPID HERE. YOU STARTED ALL THIS SHIT AND YOU ARE TRYING TO BE DEFENSIVE OF YOUR OWN ACTIONS.

NOW IT'S CLEAR,,,

REBEKAH = DODENCE_BT

NEED WE SAY MORE?! ~ BuTtErCuP^puFf

Vittorio or what ever your name is.
I can probably do what you do. if I have photoshop. its jsut putting filters on them

sad sad ~ Fashion.Fantasy

There is something so totally wrong with everyone. I got involved too (unwisely), but I was smart enough to say as unbiased as possible with my comments so as to avoid public humiliation. =]

Another RC Week .. this time it's Faith.

"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy New Year!"

And look how Stardoll's gonna celebrate. Another Real Celeb week! What? Was the previous one a success or something? The winner wasn't even publicly announced! Or did I miss it? Hmm, whatevs. So anyway, this time Faith Hill's the special feature. And — hooray! not — we stand to win her album. It would be pretty cool, but how are they gonna send it to people who don't live in the USA/UK/wherever-the-staff-live? Email the songs? I don't think so. So this might just be another case of "only the people living in _____ can win this prize. Sorry, guys". Sad.

Star_Awards official ticket is out! Take a look, it's gorgeous:
