Au Revoir/Hello/Tributes & Hot Buys

You know me, critical as ever, yet Stardoll seems to be my sole concern, something I can freely hate with rabidness, while hiding behind the mask of the blonde beauty in my banner.

Not much -at least not anything spectacular- happened in Dollywood while I was gone, but after the end of the five, blissful, internet-free days I spent outside the chaos of Athens, there is still a lot to write about.

Apparently, Stardoll's latest epic fails, the awful YSL fugfest and the Versus mediocrity haven't taught them anything.


I suppose three times a charm. Get ready fellow Royals, save your precious moolah, ask your momma's credit card, make room in your suite (better buy those two extra rooms for the negligible sum of 99 Stardollars per pair), because this collection is going to be one to show off to all the jealous commoners of our virtual heaven.

No! Not yet! Don't spent all your precious moolah on the extremely reasonably priced  alice + olivia  garments. Save some for... *drum roll please* this month's Not Hot Buys!

UPDATE: The collection is available for purchase at the Starplaza. For a second I lost it, mainly because I thought that we might actually have another Chanel or Dior Tribute in our hands, but a wave of relief quickly washed over me as soon as I saw the monstrosity Stardoll once again tried to foist to us. Phew.

Surprisingly, though,there is one item that stands out for its outrageously low price. Can you guess what it is?



I have to admit that I actually really like some of the items. Hopefully, they will be slightly cheaper than last month's Not Buys, but it's Stardoll, so I guess not.

Oh well. I stopped giving a shit about Hot Buys more than a year ago.

Teenage Musings & Other Stories


Have you ever got that feeling, when you have a closet full of great garments and nothing to wear? I get that all the time, both in my real and virtual life.

I'm sure you get that a lot as well. In real life, there's really not much you can do, since such problems present themselves only in the most urgent of situations. In our virtual world, however, Stardoll monthly presents us with the ten top garments we have to have in our virtual closets. These are the clothes that will always be hot, no matter what. Until the end of the month, that is.

I certainly can't complain about Stardoll's Hot Buys. Who am I to do that? It's not like they are the shitfest they used to be a couple of years ago.


I present to you, this June's Haute Buys. Wait, my bad. This June's Not Buys. You'd expect that for the shitload of money we spend on these, they'd only get better, right? Recently, I read on a blog about a new Hot Buy released (from May's Hot Buys) and it was considered affordable because it cost only (sarcasm) 10 Stardollars! It was a pair of shoes.

Now, I know that Hot Buys are only released for a limited amount of time -and, then, are sold for hundreds on Starbazaar- but shouldn't they be a little more reasonably priced if everyone has to have them? Or, I don't know, be made available to non SS? Or both? Or simply be gone?

Just some virtual food for virtual thought.
