Another gorgeous suite


I couldn't do without posting about the outstanding page GoldCharlotte has created. Her rooms are incredibly detailed, with clear morbid inspirations and very original ideas. You guys definitely need to check these out:

Her album is also one of the bests I've seen! It's truly poetic and creative, and I really think it deserves to win the album contest.
Don't you just love it? Be sure to give her a visit!

New Dot


I absolutely adore the new collection for Dot store! We have lots of interesting colours such as red, blue and purple on eye shadows, eye pencils, lipsticks and even eyebrows pencils.

I'm totally spending some money here. What about you guys?

Demon Angel Statue


This gorgeous statue is part of the Evening Falls collection and it costs 18 stardollars. It's one of my favourite pieces from the store, I just think it looks very well designed and it's a magnificent choice to a gothic themed room.

I believe Stardoll got inspired on Weeping Angels from the Doctor Who series. On the story, they're an ancient race of aliens who are deadly powerful and dangerous. That's how they look like:

Stylist Studio


Yesterday, we received a message, inviting us to buy the new feature, which is a Stylist studio. I wasn't exactly sure what it's for, but I bought it and checked it out.
The current price, 149 stardollars, is only temporary and at the moment only Stardoll royalty can buy the studio. That will probably change later. Once you buy it and start styling, some sort of a career card appears next to your nickname in guestbooks etc.

So what it basically is, is a place where you style other people's dolls.
1. First you need a customer.
2.Once they "get in line", you can style their MeDoll with items that are in the shops at the moment. That's not one of my favorite parts because they could add the items the person already has, that would make it much easier.
3. When you're done with the styling, you send it to the client and it appears in your portfolio. They can either buy it or not. When someone buys your outfit, you get 10% of the cost of all the items.
But it seems like a nice idea to me, one of the best ones lately. Did anyone buy it?

Free Bella Cullen wedding dress


Stardoll hasn't been very much interesting this year so far. To lighten up the matter, though, they decided to give ze users a chance to feel like a character in "one of our favorite movies of the season"*, - dress up in Bella Cullen's amazing wedding dress** ***
To participate, you have to style your doll like Bella (not necessarily, though I'd like to see some iron masks which would make the impression of someone actually having tried), take a photograph (or use an old one, as did I) and send it to the contest. Then you receive a free dress, which looks like this:

Top that, (blood)suckers.

IdentiTee new floors


Stardoll has been quite dead, lately. No interesting updates or any relevant collections worth mentioning. I'm curious on your opinion about our latest release, though:

Unlike the earlier collections of IdentiTee, the items aren't cheap. You can get each for 14 stardollars and I personally find the clothes completely useless. I wonder if anyone here spent any money on this?

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:
