A Guide On How To Climb The Stardoll Social Ladder. For beginners.

Let's pretend for a moment that Stardoll is a big deal, shall we?

I, myself, find Stardoll a rather enjoyable past-time, nothing more. I understand, however, that it is deemed very important by a large amount of its loyal users.

Even ever since its first years, Stardoll has been more that just an enjoyable past-time. It has become a way of life, a miniature of the real world. And in this petite society of ours a leader is desperately needed. It is true. We all need someone to look up to. To envy. Hell, we even need someone to hate, to taunt, to stultify. And, most importantly, we need to become that person. To be looked up to, be envied by all. A little bit of taunting will not hurt us the slightest bit.

How to achieve that, though? Well, it ain't that hard. Actual talent, you see, isn't in the list of qualifications required. Not anymore.

I was reading a rather interesting post on my favorite Stardoll gossip blog, Perez Hilton of Stardoll, written by the talented ebonymeme, about famewhoring on Stardoll. Big news, one might think. Sure, it's nothing new, but it's the truth.

Famewhores are the new "Elites", but only because there are no "real" ones. While it's true that famewhoring it up is completely and utterly embarrassing, who gives a shit? It's a website and you are, essentially, a bunch of pixels. Nobody knows you.

Besides, it's easier this way. Since no actual talent is required -and famewhoring is not a talent, just in case you were wondering- you can do whatever the hell you desire. Write vulgar messages on people's guestbooks, for example. It's actually fun, if you don't care about the backlash.

But you know what's cooler than trolling? A billion dollars. A good, old-fashioned scandal. If your name is only slightly recognizable, here in Dollywood, a scandal -fake or real, it doesn't matter- will probably catapult you to instant fame. Or, more likely, will offer you your precious fifteen minutes.

Use them wisely.
