The Catwalk of Shame



So, you probably know me as the interviewer. But brace yourselves. The following article is NOT an interview! It is the fashion police. I have been keeping my eye on some suspicious suites this week, and here is what I have found. All this evidence can be taken to fashion court of the followers of grab The Joystick agree.

First of all, we have cherry-mama.
I personally love all the pieces of this outfit, but they should have never ever met. First of all, there is the Hot Buys beret. I am a fan of this myself, but it is not meant to be perched on top of her head. If this was real life, that would be falling off! Also, because the beret is black and so is the hair, it gives the effect of some kind of alien attaching itself to her head. Now, never go matchy-matchy! It’s always good to mix. Take the blazer and skirt. This is not a great combo. And the bag is the wrong colour for the whole outfit! Also, the fur doesn’t go because it is too long, and there is already a lot going on in the outfit. The shoes are fine—they are the finest thing there!

Now, we go on to study FiFash88.
I don’t like this combo. The skirt has a very specific look, and can only really go with the top it was made to go with! The top chosen for this outfit is too casual. It would need to be either strapless or only with spaghetti straps. The belt does not go either, and is not even made to go in that specific place on the doll body! And the gloves feel like a last minute addition. Overall, none of this actually goes together.

Next, we shall discuss kindzia-22.
This little lady comes from Japan, a country that is world renowned for its eccentric fashions. This, however, is a dud. Some people may think it is cute—I did at first—but you have to examine it more closely. First of all, horizontal striped tend to make you look short and fat, especially if they’re big. Also, the balloon hemline of the dress is very unflattering. It just hangs off her shoulders, and then looks like it’s tucked into her underwear. Then, the shoes. They are very casual, and the shade of pink does not go. Also, you have to stand back a bit from an outfit before you realise that the shoes are wrong. Just like ankle boots, they tend not to go with any type of dress or skirt.

Now, we go on to miss-girl23.
First off—never ever use freebies with logos on them! You whether you are non superstar are not; this is you just giving in to not having much money. This is even worse when you actually are superstar (which the girl in question is/was)! A plain tank top or basic tee is much better than a freebie. Now, look at the jeans. They look like they cannot decide whether they are full length or three-quarters!

Here, we have Rac6199.
I’m sorry to be throwing you under the bus as you are a member of my club, but I couldn’t just ignore this major fashion no-no. Yet again, we have the giving in to not having money. Yet another freebie with a logo. And she has taken the slacker look the whole way with faded ripped jeans and tennis boots. This just looks like you can’t be bothered! Have you ever heard of skinny jeans and a boyfriend blazer?

Here is the final outfit. This is from Weranda_Angel.
At a first glance, this is very stylish. But if you look closer, or move further away, this is close to being a fashion disaster. First of all, I have to address the colour scheme. Black, white, pink, grey and blue. The two colours thrown in there are probably one of the most conflicting pairs ever. Mixing blue and pink is another fashion don’t, as the colours clash and do not mix well. Also, I have to address that there is a definite mixture of punk, fashionista and red carpet glamour. Usually, this mix would mesh well, but there is a tiny silver handbag with a bow and some Alexandra Burke in Bad Boys style boots thrown in. These do not go whatsoever, because the punk is meant to be ruling the outfit, yet there is a sudden slap in the face with these two lazy additions. Overall, this is most definitely not the worst outfit, and is probably the best of a bad bunch.



And I would like to close addressing one of the latest additions to the starplaza. It is the Dress Inspired By Mary Katrantzou.
Personally, I think it is very unflattering. It makes you look like you have big hips and an extremely high, pointy chest! It also looks a bit like a perfume bottle, especially with the random sliver neckline. Luckily, I have not spotted anyone wearing it, so I think the Stardoll world is in the loop on this one.

Stay fabulous, ladies (and the odd gent…)

Actually AlexanderMcQueen

As we have shown you in previous blog entries, stardoll sometimes puts some clothes for sale wich are exactly right some very famous original brands' collections, but without putting "Inspired by..." in their name tags.We have spotted especially AlexanderMcQueen, since I have acces to his latest shows through style.com in my iPod (lol)

So, here are some AlexanderMcQueen clothes that you might have in your closet without even knowing it!!!!












The last three clothes are from Tingeling Halooween Colture.There are some more, but they are not shown here...Actually, I think that all the clothes from Tingeling Halloween Colture were Alxeander McQueen, or at least most of them...
The first one was from Rio, and you can still find the shoes and bag on starplaza, but not the dress.

Spoiling you AND the Latest Hot Buys coming

Here are the latest spoilers!




And the latest hot buys awaiting to come!

Interview with AMY DIAMOND



Our writer, collectorcentre spoke with Amy Diamond in the live chat on November 15th and brought you all you need to know about her!!!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
The event we’ve all been waiting for. Kind of. People are flocking to chat to a ‘celebrity’, writing messages that basically consist of ‘I love you!’, even if they mean it or not. I’m bubbling with excitement, not only because I get to meet a Swedish celeb, but also because it is my first post on the blog!
So, here it comes. The first message of the afternoon. And I can’t read it. Swedish. I failed to notice that Stardoll Staff’s biggest doll has posted that ‘the first 20 minutes of the chat will be in Swedish’. Yay. Well, I guess I’m going to have to translate the best questions. Please don’t kill me if they aren’t accurate—those online translators aren’t fantastic!

Q: Hello Amy!
A: Hello!

Q: Do you like ice-cream?
A: I love ice-cream!

Q: What is your favourite single?
A: I have many different favourite tunes, but I listen to a lot of Coldplay.

Q: What is your beauty secret?
A: Oh dear, I don’t know if I have a beauty secret! But some good advice is always clean away make up at the end of the night!

Q: Hey! Is it really you?
A: Yes, it’s really me!
(My favourite question!)

Okay, so the rest is in English now (no crummy translation site needed!)

Q: Do you have any favourite bands?
A: My favourite bands are Coldplay and Paramore!

Q: I heard you were a fan of Twilight. Who are your favourite characters?
A: I love Twilight! My favourite characters are Bella and Jacob

Q: What do you think about Madonna?
A: I really like Madonna. She’s great!

Q: How tall are you?
A: 156.5 cm

Q: Do you have any pets?
A: I have two dogs called Pixie and Penny, and a rabbit called Tess.

Q: What kind of music do you listen to?
A: I listen to all different kinds of music. I like to listen to both old and new music. My favourite band is Coldplay, and I also like Beyonce and Robbie Williams.

Q: Would you rather be as small as an ant, or as tall as a giant? Why?
A: I would probably rather be as small as an ant because it would be too difficult to walk around if I was as tall as a giant. I’d probably just knock down buildings and step on people if I were that big!

Q: You say you have a bunny named Tess. Well my BFF Tess has a bunny called Amy!
A: How weird! Say hello to your friend and her bunny for me.

Q: Where did you get that fabulous voice from? I love it! And when’s your birthday?
A: Thank you so much! That’s probably the nicest thing anyone’s said to me. My birthday is 15th April.

Q: What style of dance do you do?
A: Me and my friend used to practice street dance. We loved it!

Q: Do you like Harry Potter?
A: I love Harry Potter! I think the films and the books are great!

And here come the biggie. The final question. She’s taking about 10 minutes to answer it. Callie is saying ‘it’s a big responsibility’. That big? Wow.

Q: Hi Amy. I have a new cat, and I have no idea what to name her. Do you?
A: Lucky you! Cats are so cute, especially kittens! My big sister has a cat named Sushi. I don’t know! There are many cool names. Mittens is a really cute name for a cat—maybe you could call her that!

A: Thank you all so much for your great questions! I hope we can chat again soon. It’s been so much fun! Lots of love from Amy.

*Before I go on, here’s a note: If you’re gonna buy Amy’s album, buy it from Stardoll—you get a signed copy!*

So there we have it. The Amy Diamond cat is officially over. And even though I submitted about a thousand questions, none of them got chosen. Yes, none of them! Oh well.

I hope you guys found out all you need to know about that 17-year-old-with-a-sickly-sweet-voice-and-dimples-from-Sweden/England lass. Even if, like me, you have no idea who she is, I hope you enjoyed reading this report, and I will be coming to you on November 18th for some more live chat action, this time with Kimora Lee Simmons!
But before I go, why not try commenting? It would mean a lot!

Do It Like...LADY|GAGA





STYLE ANALYSIS
"Check out my shoes"

In this video, Lady Gaga shows us how much she loooves Alexander McQueen...And his shoes.I myslef see three different McQueen shoe pairs, although I thing there are more...But not soo... "Check me out".I mean, these shoes scream "Lady GaGA", they totaly fit her personality and her thirst for fame.



"Look me right in the eye"

There is one scene, where the Lady has sooo dark eyes!!!!!If you want this effect, here are some advices(and a suggestion, as always):
-Use fake eyebrows
-Use only black products in your eye
-Perhaps use a lipstick that will only make your eyes look darker

And now a suggestion


For this makeover I used all the black eye poducts, a blood-red lipstick and three different fake eyelashes sizes!!!lol

Rah-Rah-Rah-ah-ah!
