OMG! Are These Fringed Boots?

Long time no post, right? Well, I expected school to take up much of my time, but, frankly, as I've come to realize, I can only focus on so much.

I couldn't miss the release of the brand new LE Superstar collection, could I, though?

Laced with mediocrity, vivid colors and a few decor pieces, this brand new collection is quite underwhelming. It is quite odd, however, since I seem to have purchased more pieces than usual. While the dresses are utterly tacky, albeit flawless graphics-wise, I find the accessories much more interesting. The prices - surprise, surprise - are sky high, but pretty much everything you need to own costs under 100 SD. In case you are in the mood for some serious moolah spending, there is a lovely black/yellow dress for 225 SD and a gorgeous magenta top for 100 SD. The shoes are, um, interesting, the jacket are reminiscent of the previous LE collection and the bags are blah. Over all, I'd rate this season's LE with 6 LE signs out of 10.

Oh, and Superstar? Honey, I don' think so.

PS. Our prayers were heard. Stardollars are for everyone and we can exchange Starcoins to Stardollars whenever!

Is This Real Life?

Are my eyes fooling me?

No? This isn't some kind of evil trick? Oh. OH!

Well, folks, it seems that Stardoll decided to be all awesome during my Stardollar drought period, goddammit! and open a brand new LE Decor store. And, boy is it worthy of its name! LE generally means high quality - especially when it comes to suite decor - so, naturally, Stardoll's latest effort lives up to the hype. I can honestly say I want to purchase everything!

Naturally, you can expect lots of overpriced goodness, but, frankly, it's goodness and it's Stardoll, so you'd better appreciate.

I guess I'll just succumb. For this one time.

And It's Over.

No, your eyes aren't fooling you; this a new post. How exciting!

Well, these past few weeks haven't been too exciting for me. School started in September and, as a junior, I "ought to get serious"! The most exciting news was my brother throwing a ball on my Ancient Greek teacher - and that only happened today!

Over these few weeks, I've been wondering about MSW. Considering the substantial amount of begging and pleading, I figured the trend had died down and people had simply stopped caring.

And this is what actually happened. Say hello to MSW 2011, Ceren.gk (and the runner-ups, for whom I don't give a shit).

Meh, honestly. I am underwhelmed. The winner seems basic enough to me. If anything, I'd love to see someone like Undamyumbrellla win; she's super original and fun albeit slightly batshit crazy.

So, how many people do you think voted for her in the final round?

The answer is 37,827. Or, at least, that's the number of votes. That seems kind of low to me. I mean, you can have only so many visitors, but Stardoll is a ginormously successful website, with more than 100,000,000 members worldwide -though, I am certain most of them have at least one spare account. Wouldn't that mean that MSW underperformed?

Can't say I complain, though. MSW is a piece of garbage that only reinforces sexist stereotypes and the bad kind of competition between young - and impressionable -  girls. Call me an annoying feminist, I don't give a shit. MSW is rubbish either way, anyway.

Britta Perry tyfyt.

Welcome Back, Good Ol' Stardoll...

This is exactly what I needed.

I was so looking forward to Young Hollywood 2.0. The first collection was so-so, but had some really great dresses and lovely shoes. Naturally, I was expecting something of that sort.

Initially, my disappointment originated from the fact that I had missed the GaGa bodysuit and the wig (My baby is so popular!). Then, I actually took a look at the clothes.

Man. I've never seen anything so tacky, ugly and horrible since Selena Gomez's latest video. Where are the lovely shoes? Where are the edgy dresses? I am not going to deny that they had potential; it's just that the graphic designers completely fucked up.

Young Hollywood 2.0 is marred by horribly designed, overly expensive accessories and mediocre - at best - garments. Of course, if you are a brand-lover, there is one fugly dress whose price tag reads 25 Stardollars.

Personally, I'd like to have seen any Coachella outfits. Or Rihanna's Bob Marley swimsuit.

It looks like Stardoll didn't learn anything from the disastrous sales of the original Young Hollywood. (Note: disastrous, for a limited edition brand.)

Aaand, it's official. Stardoll finally ditched mediocrity for bullshit, and I've got my mojo back.

A Starplaza Review Because I'm Bored.

 

Returning to Stardoll was probably the dumbest decision I've made. Because, really, the items released post my leaving and prior to my returning were simply gorgeous. Not just the garments, but the furniture as well. All I see now is expensive piece of shit crap (woah) that no one - ever - should own.

God, how I loved PPQ. Note the past tense.

This new collection seems to have a theme; boring, long-sleeved dresses.

The funny thing is that the quality of the graphics is excellent. Many of the dresses look pretty great, but... I can't put my finger on it, but there is something on the clothes, a certain quality. Maybe it's those horrid boots, maybe it's those hilariously horrid hats. Maybe it's the lack of originality. Or maybe - maybe - it's the ridiculous prices. 

My favorite items are the Metal Jumble necklace and the Ebony Gather top. The dresses are nice enough, but nothing special, to be frank.

Pfft, I am sick of my Starplaza reviews; they've lost their sarcastic charm. So, from now on, when you see a new store, imagine a witty and hilarious post by me.

On another note, school started for me today. Oh, lawd, I am bored already.

First of all, in case you've lived under a rock for the past ten years or are plain ignorant, today is 9/11. Ten years ago today a tragic event occurred in New York; an airplane crashed on the twin towers and, as a result, many human lives were lost that day.

Unfortunately, this blog is Stardoll-related and, besides, I shouldn't be the one to analyze the events, as I was in a different country, completely unaffected by the tragedy.

The actual point of this post is the fact that, tomorrow, school begins for those of us living in Greece. I am a junior now, which means that I will really have to focus on studying now, as, next year, I'll be taking my introductory exams to university. Obviously, the time I will spend on the Internet, particularly Stardoll, will be limited and, thus, so will my posts.

Of course, I will be here to report on extremely important news, such as the winner of MSW and the shocking arrival of another tribute store.

Now, let's take a moment to think of the families of those who died ten years ago. No, I'm not being sarcastic anymore.

First: Yeah, I changed the blog's layout again.

Second: The MSW store reopened.

Frankly, it's okay. There are a couple of interesting dresses, a few overpriced belts and some hideous pairs of shoes. Yet another mediocre clothing line, courtesy of Stardoll. As I am writing this very post, my eyelids are heavy from the immense boredom.

Then again, the store reflects MSW itself. I'll just leave it at that.
