To Be Or Not To Be

BIG UPDATE

THE CHANELL TRIBUTE IS NOW OFFICIALLY RELEASED ! THE EVENTS OF YESTERDAY NIGHT WERE JUST A GLITCH (BUT KEEP ON READING IF YOU ARE CURIOUS WHAT HAPPEND ANYWAY)  

that is the question in our little SD user heads, and what is the reason of all this questioning? clearly the events which happend last night. for the first time i have to own my insomania a thank you ... i mean a really faty fat thank you! i was up yesterday night as i saw some strange clothes at the new section of spotlight, ok the clothes weren't really that strange in fact they looked quiet nicely but what really makes me suspicious was the price. a dress 33 $ a jacket 30$ i mean ok SD was a bit greedy the last weeks (remember the white tank top for 120 $c !) but this much for a normal jacket?! i went to starplaza to see if i could find the clothes in the new section too ... and suprise i found them and the little lable hanging on these clothes says CHANEL TRIBUTE! i was totally shocked and had to buy some stuff immediately.

a picture as a proof i'm not totally mental ! 

the only problem that accrued was the accessories didn't show up in my suit after i bought them, so i went to bed. as i logged in this morning the accessories just arrived at my suit as the clothes did yesterday night. but than i went to the starplaza checking out the store, because i believed it was now officially released but the clothes have been removed from the new section and it seems like there never have been there, but i still have those i bought?! total confusion on my side i must admit. i wrote this post for my own safety and to inform you about all this. at the end SD will take the stuff i own and say they never have been there.

we know this event can now developed in to different direction:

1. the clothes will never return to staplaza again and will be as rare as the miss sixty DO NOT USE pieces.

2. the clothes will return after the gift-o-meter offer is over, because normally SD always released special stores after those gift-o periods ended so people had spend more money to get the "free gifts" and had to refill there $ to buy as much as possible at these tribute, limited and so on stores.

i think the second direction is way more likely as the first one and i think most of you pray that the first one will not happen. keep calm and remember this is just a game, as my dear friend ALIE CATTE in a PCPA discussen once said.

one last thing before i close my post. do you remember this little fella on the below picture. 

 

one of the most popular accessories in our little crazy SD world and now it is back in town as one would say, you can buy them at EVILPANDA shop for 60 $c each, seems like christams came early to us! but as my mum always says "nothing is really sure, not even that", you better be fast who knows maybe it's a glitch too.

The Truth

is that the "super cool" gift-o-meter is just another way of SD to get our hard earned money. you can call me an naysayer but the facts are on my side: 

 

gift-o-meter or greed-o-meter

fact 1.  should i buy stuff to get free stuff ?

of course first we get the impression that SD is throwing a big gift party and everyone gets a piece of cake but are those gifts really for free ... that depends, if you see something at the SD mall and buy it because you like it and get a gift because the piece you baught costs more than 10 $ but if you only buy things to get the free stuff you're doing something wrong because now the things are not really freebies anymore. do you understand what i mean? 

an example: you reall like the purple sweater and want to have it so you buy things till you reache 50 $ and yeay you get the sweater for free ... see what went wrong here ?!  

fact 2.  is there a intention behind this special and super kind offer ? 

i don't know if you recognized it but the last times SD brought us the gift-o-meter something happend after the week of senseless shopping was over ... they released speical stores (just like they released LE after everybody has spend all their money at the pet-a-porter shop) sneaky little SD.

i just shop if i see something i like and if i get a gift too i am happy if not i don't care, and if i like something of the gifts offered in the gift-o-meter i just go to the bazaar and buy it,  so i bought the round collar blouse.

i payed just 18 $c if i had to get it the "normal" way i had to spend 150 $ (hello !), maybe you know this little trick already but for those who don't i hope i could help a little bit. hm see if we get a new LE store next week or even better a new antidote store, when we're all out of money.

by the way did you recognized how stardoll is spaming the broadcast, i mean its  awfully annoying even worse than those desperate covergirl dolls!

SD Blog Travel Guide

would be usefull wouldn't it? I mean nevermind which suit you're visitng 90 % are advertising there blogs in it (shame on me i'm one of them). this  huge number of blogs makes it difficult to find those who really are interesting  for yourself, you may now say "pff who needs those silly SD blogs anyway, this a game we should't take this too far." believe me this is bullshit. i once said this to myself and missed the best store ever in SD history (st. trinians 2 shop), if you wanne expierence SD as whole its easier (and funnier too)  to have some help i mean that is what blogs are for (accept those stupid gossip blogs which i think are really unnecessary) to help each other and share ideas.

but lets get back to the to-many-blogs-which-is-interesting-for-me problem. i thought of arrange a little blog travel guide, of course this travel guide is based on my interests but if you are a constant reader and like my thoughts i think you will like this guide too.

my interest are: free stuff (of course) and news about upcoming stores and projects, spoilers and    

                           fashion and lifestyle/szene

1.) FREE STUFF

nearly every day you can get free items on SD, most of them are just shitty but a few pieces are really great and even worth using a proxy. sadly there is no blog which only shows you how to get those seldom cool things (because it's impossible one person things a free cat is super cool the next things its just boring) but there is one blog which only shows you how to get free stuff. 

  

how-to-get-free.blogspot.com

pages full of freebies of course not all of them are still avalible. i think this is definitely worth to bookmark isn't it?  and for all those who still things those freestuff blogs are unnecessary, rember this: 

yes ! the beloved bandana was a free item once, you see checking out on blogs can be usefull once in a while.(update: the super rare bandana is no longer super rare as you can get it at the starplaza again for 4 $ yeay thank you stardoll ... NOT!)

2.) SPOILER AND NEWS 

i know some of you may have a problem with the so called spoiler it steals the joy of a happy surprise when you log into SD and see some wonderfull dress, but for me those spoilers are quiet handy. a little example, you have 20 $ left and you buy a nice shirt for 10 $ and the next day you log in and see this wonderful dress which fits perfectly into your wardrobe but it costs 15 $ yep i had this situation more than once. spoilers can help you with that alot. besides spoliers it's always good to be updated with all the SD news, upcoming stores or projects. the best blog for this is a really populare one which you maybe already know 

underneathstardoll.blogspot.com

here you will be informed about everything on SD, the posts are always well written and the blog is updated almost everyday, i can recommend it to you all.

  

3.) FASHION AND LIFESYTLE

of course SD is just virtual world, a game we play to calm down or have fun. the love for fashion is what conglomerates us all and its always nice to share ideas how we can use the things SD gave us to create our very own style, those blogs are my favourite because they always inspire me sadly i haven't found many of them 

sor-ry.blogspot.com

stardollangelsa.blogg.se

anarchyonstardoll.blogspot.com

the last one is a really well known blog in the goth scene of SD, everyone who is a bit more alternative will find helpful behind-the-item facts and so on, if you're interested in fashion than you probably want to know on which design the digital SD clothes are based on. to find that out visit 

seenonstardoll.blogspot.com

ok last but not least i would recommend a new blog i recently got featured in and which i think is a interesting one, the owner is MANDAMICHALKA.

ok i think this is it i hope my little guide could help you a bit!

Stardoll Actually

did something really cool. yeah i'm not joking. today they add a new designfunction to the side. in STARDESGIN JEWELRY you can ... guess what, design jewelry ! and its really worth a try (sadly it is only for superstars) you can choose between a number of different things  (glasses, necklace, earrings and so on) and you also have the possibilty to add up to 5   charms to your design for only 1 $ (!), so all in all a good offer ok some things could be better but nobody's perfect. below a little photo set of my first selfmade jewelry desgin.

here you see all the different steps, i must admit i had fun creating this necklace which i named death (yes i'm morbid ), what really catches my eye was the ear cuff chain i love to wear those outside of SD and now my alter ego got one too !

and for those who are in the full state of a pre winter depression i've got another 8tracks mixtape of mine. check it out! it is full of melancholia and sad girls music.

Graphisme Nr.1

for those who doesn't speak french, graphisme means to have an individual style, and as i stumbled over this word i thought it would be the perfect titel for a new column here on nymph attire. much of my inspiration for all my outfits on SD are rooted in the real life but in the last 3 years i found some girls with a unbelivable refreshing style blowing my mind everytime i visit their suits and with graphisme i would like to present some of these dolls and their style.

KLADIAAA

all neon like

 

 

kladiaaa, 17, poland, girl 

what makes her style special: kladiaaa as you can see looking at the three examples below, is focusing on a speical use of color, her outfits often are dominated by black and grey but only these colors wouldn't make her outfit that good its the neon effect which always appears somewhere in the clothes she is wearing, it can be a brooch (outfit 1) or  red strands of hair (outift 2) kladiaaa always has an eyecatcher for us ... graphisme !

outfit 1

outfit 2 and outfit 3

as we now have seen some examples of kladiaaas style you may want to know something about her thats why i create a little interview every person i choose to be potrayted here has to do. 

where do your inspiration come from? 

movies, people and some clothes that i see, and immediately I have an idea of how to use them. its just inside me and sometimes the idea is hidden, just one piece of clothes and immediately know what i want to do.

do you have a fashion icon ? 

i love street fashion, i'm always watching people and browsing fashion blogs, my favourite are "Le Blog De Betty" and some polish "Alicepoint".

what is always in your bag ?

my bag is the most messy place in the world, full of dark things: my phone, 2 pairs of headphones because im breaking them often and can't live without music, ipod, mascara, biggest wallet in the world, miniature versions of perfumes of nina rici and sephora girls mini perfumes, sudoku, apple orbit, calendar and some pens :)

your favourite piece of cloth ?
hmm can't choose, my favourite things are golden converse with baroque styled pattern (my best buy ever) and grey jeans. 

during night time i ...

listen to music and trying to sleep ;D i can't sleep without music, always sleeping with headphones.

we now have reached the end of our little trip through kladiaaas virtual wardrobe and a visit at her suit is definitly worth it.

Dear Copy Cat ...

there is something (i recognize) what is about to grow stronger ... copying. it seems like the rising number of SD citizens has the aftermath that the creativty is slowly getting smaler and smaler. some really good friends of mine had to deal wiht this problem. i just need to speak up for my own peace.

being copied is something honorable it means that you are so good others want to be like you. many people dress like lady gaga to show them how in love they are with all the crazy lady stands for but in our world beyond SD its easy to see who did it first in this case stefanie germanotta, on SD its not that easy, and i think this is the big problem, if i copy a suitroom and first ask the owner/creator and or write in my presentation for example "left room second floor original designed by ..." but no! the mean copy cat just claims it as her or his own, and this is not fair. be original, be yourself. is it this hard. its ok to get inspired by another medoll but not to be a clone of her. but what really gets on my nervs and is the reason why i'm here sitting on my laptop and write all this is the sad fact that now they start copying medoll faces ... hello ! you try to be unique, to create a look which let you leave an impression in people's head. than you walk down the street and see somebody with your face! just to transform this into a real life situation. its way much more fun and interesting to let your medoll do this development with your very own thoughts. but for those who really have no idea here are some tipps:

1. GIVE IT TIME 

 (no medoll is pefect after one second and who is it outside of SD)

2. CLICK AROUND TUMBLR

(this side really has some nice inspiring pictures, thousands of photos wait for you to inspire you)

3. LOOK INTO THE MIRROR 

(even if you don't like your outer appearance there is something you think is at least nice and this can perfectly be used for your medoll )

even though i don't know if this post will reach those who should read it you can spread the word anyway. i normaly don't do this kind of post but this was something i just needed to talk about because it makes me sad and it makes SD a less joyfull place. 

keep edgy and keep rad !
