This is a little off subject, but,

I was completely blown away by one of Mant__*'s rooms.

It's clearly under construction due to the clothes stuffed in the corner, but doesn't it look like the actual LE store?!

(If you were wondering, Mant__* is the one that makes all the LE designs.)

Also, some new items in StarPlaza are out for the new 'Winter Blush' styled outfits. There are a couple of wacky but wonderful wedding type of dresses in Voile, perfect for those Stardoll Party Weddings! The other stuff released so far wasn't very interesting or pretty, but we'll see what happens, eh?

Pretty in Pink 'Heart Shop'? No thanks.

The usual Pretty in Pink Valentine's Day Store is out... and it's horrible. Worse than I expected. The clothes look a tad grandma-ish and it's not really what I expected, looking at last years' 'Je t'aime Pretty in Pink' store.

It looks very cheap, the store layout is dodgy, pink isn't actually a great fashion choice looking at what Stardoll has done with it... Need I say more?

I'm guessing they're release another floor, but I don't know...

There is this one white dress that looks like some poor girls' (Much to her dismay) prom dress disaster.

Here's this years store... ew... ^

And I managed to find some pictures of the old Je t'aime Pretty in Pink store, which in my opinion was much, much better. ^

So, what do you think? Will you be buying anything? I don't think I will.

The Hot Buys are confusing me.

One day they're gorgeous; perfect colours, perfect styles and perfect graphics. The next day, they're hideous, completely unfashionable and the kind of thing I'd rather die than be seen dead in. I'm not sure if Stardoll run out of ideas or if they're just plain lazy on some days, but I'm expecting some better Hot Buys over the coming months. If SD have time to make us brand new graphic noses, lips, hair and eyes, surely they have time to spend on one of the most looked-forward to fashion releases on the whole site.

And yet again, Stardoll fails.

Rio - one of the oldest brands on Stardoll - has been changed from it's classic black lettering with golden crown on top to some sort of shiny 'RI' with a large 'O' surrounding it. I personally detest the new logo - it's too flashy for the old brand we're all used to and I'm praying they don't change Pretty in Pink or Fallen Angel. Opinions? 

Stardoll should've learnt by now...

If they had a better presentation editor, less people would have to drag and edit and spend hours on their presentations, then contact help and support because that very presentation has been screwed over after just one 'refresh' of the page. All we ask is for a few more advanced fonts, a 'background' tool and maybe some cool effects to put on. If only - if only - Stardoll gave two hoots what we thought though. We may have seen a change to the beauty parlour recently, but I wouldn't expect much more.

Hot Buys 'Bow Sweater'

EEEEEECK. Thats mostly all I have to say about the Hot Buys Bow Sweater that was released yesterday. (Sorry I didn't post when it came out, it was my birthday and I was busy answering Guestbook comments and such... Or maybe it was released today as it is the 18th today in some countries... Ohk moving on!) Here's a picture of it on my doll, if you haven't seen it already:

I don't like it at all. It's some hideous yellow that reminds me of the colour that comes onto the floor when your dog does a pee-pee in the house, and those disgusting dark green bows... Yuck.

I bought it though, naturally, due to the fact that I collect Hot Buys, even if they don't appeal to me. I wasn't surprised that I didn't like this – The January Hot Buys are just an ugly reminder of the types of clothes grandmothers make for their grandchildren on TV. I must admit, they look better in real life as always. It's 15 Stardollars and not worth the money in my opinion.

Will you be buying? (Oh, and I think Stardoll has forgotten to take away the Christmas decorations from the Starplaza.)

And no freebies? I'm ashamed.

As Stardoll neared it's ninety million member mark, most people were in a state of anticipation for the usual freebies we've been receiving for years, everytime SD hits the next ten million. This time round, however, Stardoll is trying to sell us (for extortionate prices, btw) bejewelled wall hangings, a moving-eye wall clock in the shape of a red cat, hideous dresses that match the current 'Paisley' theme and an odd lamp that belongs in some sort of Star Trek movie, definitely not in the suite's of wannabe-cover girl's around the world.
I have to say - personally - I am more than disappointed. At eighteen stardollars, the dress on the right is a thousand feet below flattering and if you choose to wear this, prepare yourself for a look that reminds me of a deflated hot hair balloon, draped in cloth that seriously needs returning to the Ugly Sisters' dress maker. 
What happened to the amazing twenty stardollars we received when SD reached twenty million, all those years ago? Or the cool freebies we received back in oh nine, when Stardoll celebrated it's third birthday? It's clearly all about the money these days and I for one don't like it one bit.
