Coffin Couch

This couch is available on the Magic Emporium store and you can get it for 18 stardollars. I personally think it would look much better on other colours, but I liked the strange factor of it. It's not very usual to see such items on Stardoll, is it? That's how it looks:

The amazing Von Erickson was the creator of this item on real life and it folds up to a fully shut position:

Here's an inspiration to future home decorations :)

New feature in Beauty Parlor

And here comes one more amazing change concerning Beauty Parlor, which takes such form:

meaning, you can now enlarge/rotate/change sides of the items you used to use, which makes a pleasant new add, although I'm not entirely sure what would I want to enlarge (maybe make my hair extensions really big, or putting eye lenses all over my face without using much material. Sweet). Maybe make those big nerd glasses really big and look fake (Sweetums). Ze possibilities are endless, depending on your creativity/sources/shoe size/hair color/sense of pride/etc., etc.

P.S. if you played too far and can't find the right size, put the item back in the box and take it again, and it will appear in its usual size. And I got a yellow T-Shirt for Christmas

New Other World floor

We got a new Other World floor, this time with some less items than usually. Stardoll calls it the "Journey to the center of the earth." If you've seen the movie with the same name, then you know some people believe there's a whole other world down there, with completely different organisms. Geology claims all there is in the center is lava, so it's not very plausible, but it's an interesting thought.

Anyone buying? I think I'll just get the shoes.

Cyber-goth inspiration

I just found out a gorgeous page created by ErzsebetBat. I seriously loved her medoll. The whole outfit resembles perfectly the style of cyber goth and the hair looks really creative!

She's also selling some very nice designs (22sd each dress and 11sd each top). Check them out:

Save the Queen headpiece

A Union Jack top hat is available today as the 20th Holiday calendar gift. It's one of my favorite calendar items so far. It's called Save the Queen headpiece, it costs 90 starcoins and today is the last day it's available. Instead of the blue part of the flag, this one has black. That makes it easier to match.

In real life, it's part of an exhibit, called Hats: An Anthology by Steven Jones. What that actually is, is a collection of unique, one of a kind hats, made for a museum. If you google it, you'll find some more great hats. And here is the photo:

Jewelry is sellable

Stardoll finally made the jewelry sellable. Unfortunately, the Jewelry bazaar is filled with self-made thing at the moment so it's hard to find anything useful. Avoid this with the search function, some of the brands have been added. It's a good move though. I'll try to get some of the old hot buys or chokers.

Diane von Furstenberg tribute

We have yet another tribute store. Diane von Furstenberg (I read it Diane von Fopsidgjkpsg) this time. Again, some pieces are useful and some are horrible. Personally, I only bought one dress and some bracelets for investment. Did anyone buy a piece?

Dior holiday tribute

We've got a new tribute store, this time it's Dior. I kind of like it, I bought a bunch of mini skirts and some accessories. The prices aren't that extreme either so it's a good investment. I think some pieces are a bit ridiculous and clown-like though. Will anyone buy?

New LE

Three floors of Limited Edition were released today. If you were like me and got there a bit late, then everything was already sold out. As always, some pieces look good and some are just a big fail. Photos:



There's also a hidden pair of gloves that can only be found via search. They're still available and only 30 stardollars so if you're looking for something affordable, this is how they look like:

Grimoire

We can totally find some interesting items on the Other World shop, sometimes related with darker stuff. The problem is that Stardoll tends to soften up their look, making their overall aspect not that intriguing. It's the case of the Grimoire, 10 stardollars, and with the aspect of a completely normal book with some stars applications.
Well, in real life these books typically include instructions on how to create magical objects like talismans and amulets, how to perform magical spells, charms and divination and also how to summon or invoke supernatural entities such as angels, spirits, and demons. These are their usual type of covers:

I've actually seen a few girls complaining on the release of such "horrible items on a children's website". I personally adore them, though :D What about you guys?

Holiday calendars

December started and we got our holiday calendars! The first one is the usual advent calendar, but a new thing is the hot buys calendar. My predictions are that these things will become really valuable since they will only be available for two days so buy them while you can. The first four are already available. They're not bad. Here's the photos and the links:

P.S.: For anyone who doesn't know, the last gift each year except last year was 25 stardollars.
