LET'S GET STARDOLL BACK TO NORMAL!

Stardollian MILEYKENT started a petition to bring the old Starpoint system back, and she needs all the help she can get. :3

SIGN THE PETITION HERE!

The target amount of signatures needed is 1,000,000,000, but if we spread word of this enough, I'm positive the numbers will shoot up! If we work together on this, we can save Stardoll from looking like an MMPORG!! (Stardoll hates it when I call it that XD)

STARDOLL IS FOR KINDERGARTNERS

HONESTLY STARDOLL.
STARDOLL JUST RELEASED THIS STUPID 'REWARDS' THING WHERE USERS CAN SHOW OFF 'AWARDS' OF THEIRS. I'M NOT TALKING 'HOTTEST DESIGN' AWARDS, I'M TALKING AWARDS FOR SAVING YOUR DOLL AND DOING DEATHLY SIMPLE THINGS.
IT'S LIKE WE'RE IN KINDERGARTEN AND WE CONSTANTLY NEED SELF-ESTEEM BOOSTS BECAUSE WE'RE SO DUMB.
HOW OLD ARE WE AGAIN?

WHAT THE FLYING DAVID 8?!?!?!?!!?!?

STARDOLL JUST ADDED AN UGLY NEW FEATURE LIKE ONLY A FEW SECONDS AGO!!!!!

WHY IS STARDOLL BEING SO PROGRESSIVELY BAD THESE DAYS?!!?!??!

STARDOLL - 'LEVEL UP' OR 'DOWNGRADE'?

Stardoll just released a hideous new update for the whole site, titled 'Level Up'. Now, the whole site looks like an MMPORG.
Now you can't see your amount of individual Starpoints. It's all in 'levels', so we all get this exhilarating feeling of being in World of Warcraft! Will it help to say that I HATE World of Warcraft?

As you can see, you cannot see your Starpoints and instead see an odious green meter. 

Your clothing tags are now oversized and, in my humble opinion, very annoying.

And this is the update I hate the most--you can actually SEE all your Starpoint rewards! Stardoll spoiled all the hairstyles! They really squished out all the fun and excitement of racking up Starpoints.

Everybody I know isn't so 'leveled up' by the new look, either. Even if Stardoll has made tons of Help topics to help everybody in this confusing messy labyrinth of an update, I still find all the new features very useless. Are they improving on the old design at all? No, all they did was add and remake some old features and made them ugly. If Stardoll doesn't change back to the old look or at least try to simplify and clean up this current version, I think I'll be logging on there much less and maybe spending a little more of my Internet time on more factual, less fake-feeling sites like Youtube and deviantArt. Good one, Stardoll.

NEW LOGIN TEMPLATE??

Stardoll just made a new template for the little sign in/out box on Stardoll! What do you think?
Frankly, I think it's awful.

NEW CHANEL ON STARDOLL

New Chanel is now available on Stardoll! As per usual, everything looks perfectly chic. We're absolutely loving the hair! Which is your favorite piece? 

Preview of Chanel Tribute

JUNE - HOT OR NOT?

This June's collection of Hot Buys is being released! What do you think, hot or not?
Frankly, I think they're all very very cute. I love the palette they're using! I think the May Hot Buys collection is kind of lacking. There were a few really nice things, though--them being the Batman necklace, the Boombox top, the Mickey glasses and the Striped Heels. :)

RUGGED INDIVIDUALITY

You can become whoever and whatever you want to be on Stardoll. Isn’t that awesome? And very literally, too--not only can people change their hair color, gender (I did that), ethnicity, and body type on their doll, but, with the proper skills, they can also become crazy things--zombies, dragons, vampires, or look straight out of an anime. You’d think this freedom would make people want to flaunt every bit of their individuality on Stardoll, right?

Well, actually...no.

Look at this girl’s face. You can think whatever you want of it--maybe her chin is too big, or maybe it’s fine the way it is. Maybe she’s really pretty. Maybe she overdid the makeup. Maybe her makeup looks perfect. Whatever.

The point is...this is no one girl’s face. 

Countless times I have seen this face type on more than several female MeDolls, all the same makeup formation, facial feature placement and everything. I could name quite a few users, but I don't want to be mean. Even if the users with these kinds of dolls are completely different from one another, it’s still hard to deny that this face is shared by many people. The only question is why? Why is it that they all feel they should look identical? Is there something dark and cliquey going on with these mostly Superstar members, or do they just think it's a trendy, cute look? It’s really hard to ignore. And like I said, Stardoll does, in a way, give people freedom to stand out as much as they want from everyone else. I mean, look, I made my doll a guy (a Cillian Murphy-kind-of-guy if you know what I mean) and usually dress him up in clothing I would never ever be able to acquire. What makes these identical girls feel afraid to stand out?

Frankly, I don’t know, and neither does Athena. Maybe sometime one of these kinds of girls will be able to actually speak out and tell us, but until then, we want to hear what you think. Feel free to share your thoughts in the guestbook. :) 

While girls (and maybe even boys) will continue to mimic eachother, it’s always refreshing to see a girl or guy stepping beyond the usual and really strutting their individuality. :)

Take for example one of the ever-winning Hottest Fashion Designers Mo0ohanad. Last time I saw him, he was cosplaying Vendetta, and before that he had dressed up as a snowman, a car (totally serious here!) and a tree! He’s very creative and original, and I definitely applaud him for that.

And not every MeDoll needs to dress up as a car to look great. There are plenty other very different and drop dead gorgeous dolls--funnycupcake97‘s doll stands out from the rest and she also has a killer sense of style. QWERTU456 is one girl that has a look I absolutely love and very cool fashion taste, and so does her friend IBoresS (oh my gosh don’t even mention his doll he is so lovely O_O). Nirvana_4ever looks practically fresh off a runway from Paris (and not only that, but she’s a crazy good designer and a huge Harry Potter fan!) and CrystalsJoy is a very creative girl with a glamorous doll and an amazing knack for designing pretty much anything.

So through the millions of MeDolls, both girls and boys, at the end of the day Stardoll really does give us opportunity to explore our creativity and really 'be ourselves' fashion and style-wise in a way--the question is, does everyone take that opportunity?

What do you think, everyone? :D
