Time for a Cheeky Little Competition...

Hola! I haven't posted on here for a while and I didn't want you guys to think I had forgotten you. No matter how hard I try to leave, Stardoll has sunk their cheap ghetto nails into my skin and they're not letting go.

Now on to today's Stardoll News. Well, yesterdays, but I only got round to posting about it today.

Yes, you read that right. Stardoll are planning their own 'fabulous fashion range' and they want our help to decide what kind of crap people would buy. (Didn't they already do this?) Usually, I'd just shake my head and carry on, but being the cheapskate student I am, I'm in no position to pass up the chance for £100 to spend on clothes. And as it turns out, my sense of style is more important to people than I imagined....

Hehe. Although I have to say, I get mistaken for Rihanna all the time so it's only fair that she gets mistaken for me sometimes. Obviously Stardoll want to gage how we like to dress, and I'm a little curious as to what kind of designs will come out of a lot of people voting for Gaga as their style icon. Bacon headbands? Leggings made entirely from old hair extensions? Gimp masks?

I like to see them go a little coo-coo-bananas. We wouldn't expect it, would we?

So here's my mini-competition. In the comments, come up with what you think Stardoll should name this new fashion range, and any little extra details you want to throw in. Be witty, be creative and be your usual skeptical selves. There's no prize - I'm not MADE of Starcoins - but I'll post the best ones next week and you'll get the satisfaction of your name being seen by thousands without having to strip on Skype or create the next Stardoll Playboy.

Beauty Week - Let's Get Meaningful.

We find ourselves easily caught up in whirlwinds of 'Vote me Miss Stardoll World' and 'Best Dressed Lists', so I thought I'd bring a little meaning to the proceedings and tell you about the upcoming 'Beauty Week'. Well, when I say 'I', I actually mean 'AislinVictory'.

If you're an avid follower of Memoires of a Medoll - and there's really no excuse for not being one - then you'll have read the heartbreaking story of Emily, Aislin's cousin. If you haven't read it, you can read it here, just make sure you are a) wearing waterproof eye makeup and b) have a box of tissues on standby. To summarize, Emily sadly took her own life due to bullying over a birthmark that covered part of her face.

To honour her memory, Aislin is pulling together Beauty Week. Not the I-can't-put-foundation -on-without-a-cement-mixer-and-a-trowel type (that's mine) but the kind that actually matters, and that probably gets less attention than physical beauty. Being a website primarily full of teenagers, I think we can all identify with needing to feel beautiful every once in a while.

You can read up on how exactly you can get involved in Beauty Week by visiting Memoires of a Medoll, and I'm sure Aislin will be open to any questions or volunteering offers.

Speaking of volunteering, one of the perks of writing for a major Stardoll blog such as this one, is that you can reach a large number of people at once. And, in my time here, I've noted that you're all a bunch of talented little things. So why not put that talent to good use? Using StarDesign, design a T-shirt for Beauty Week that is based around Emily and her story - send the screenshot to Aislin and your design could be worn by numerous dolls all to raise awareness of inner beauty.

Hopefully by the end of this week, we can all help to shed some light on how these issues affect people our age, as well as realising that we all have similar experiences when it comes to our appearance and self-confidence.

And that's really beautiful, right?

EDIT - Beauty Week has been confirmed as the final week of September!
