Make Clothes, Get a Sidekick...

what a lovely concept. Stardoll really deserves a pat on the shoulder for this one. The concept is quite simple yet genius. So now that StarDesign is slowly losing steam and becoming, quite frankly, overrated. Its nice, but overrated. Everything that could have been done has been done and there really seems to be no place that is left unexplored in the creative field of StarDesign. Speaking of overrated, at about the same time the sidekick jumped and to the scene and ironically, it is now slowing burning out. So here's the genius. Our friends and enemies at Stardoll have decided to give us a free sidekick if we create and purchase a piece of clothing at StarDesign. What a delightful idea. Just when when I was thinking that Stardoll couldn't possibly find any other ways to rip of my hard earned Stardollers, they never cease to amaze me with their new schemes. I'm just wondering if Stardoll is having a blast rolling around in money. Do they like use hundred dollar bills as napkins? Seriously, the deal with Kohl's and know this with T.Mobile. Stardoll is getting the cash, and yet they're still dragging us for every penny we got. That's low.

Since I'm not quite the designer I just made a silk scarf and called it a day but I really can't wait to see who will win the almighty REAL Sidekick. Oh, I didn't mention that part yet. Well, by receiving the free Sidekick in your suite you're design is entered in a completion and the owner of best StarDesign gets a real Sidekick. Stardoll you truly raised the bar with this one.

Eternity Magazine: August Love

One word, Fierce!! Writemarycat has done it again and I can't help but rejoice with happiness. Eternity Magazine has truly got to be one of my favorite magazine's and this fantastic August issue, just proves it. Eternity is here for the long run and this issue is really something. With the oh-so beautiful TheBlack.Secret gracing the cover you can just bet that this issue, is going to be truly amazing. All the articles were great as always and so I embarked on the exciting journey that is reading Eternity Magazine. Let's just say I loved, loved, LOVED it. My favourite article would probably be "Wear as Mary Kate Olsen! Cheap". It was really great to see what a few Stardoll classic pieces can put together. Really the outfits weren't too off fro the original and the whole idea is quite charming. It's absolutely crazy what people are doing to get their manicured claws on those MKA RC clothes and really its quite frustrating. These looks are just as good as the originals and affordable!! Double Bonus!

Dolls, you just got to love Eternity. I know I do and all it take is one issue so if your Eternity Magazine romance hasn't yet began, then what are you waiting for? Check it out:

Here We Go Again

I got a delightful surprise when I arrived home yesterday and I found a new line of clothing at Kohl's. Deja Vu much? Is it just me, or did this whole Kohl's situation just get way more confusing? Looks like we're over Hayden Pannetiere and now we make way for the punk pop Princess herself. You guessed it, Avril Lavigne. The line isn't perfect, but it's quite nice.
I bought a few pieces and I love them. It's so Avril, yet so wearable. What get me thinking is why did Stardoll ditch the "Inspired by Hayden, Worn by You" line? Stardoll is just getting way too confusing.
This line is all about bold T's, bright pink, plaid mini skirt, and all this under an affordable price tag. You got it trendy, bold, and affordable. Overall, the clothes give of a very Rock n' Roll vibe. Really you're bound to find something you're gonna like. Whether you're looking for a t-shirt or a hoodie, Kohl's got it. So I suggest you waltz on over to the Starplaza and pick-up a piece of sweet punk Avril, you won't regret it.

These are a few of my favorite peices:

teenStyle Release Party: Hits and Misses

On August 1st, to quote my pal Ashley, "everybody who's anybody showed up to see teenSTYLE magazine's very first edition". The party took place in Style_Magazine's guestbook and as we awaited the release we patiently sipped our virtual champagne and tapped our Jimmy Choo's to the beats of the "Teen" inspired music,or up a certain somebody's arse, but more on that later. Of course the time zone difference caused a little bit of confusion, yet as everyone arrived, we had no problem getting the soiree started. There were a few problems and the largest being the fact that there was a technical difficulty with Wordpress and the whole magazine wouldn't load. So when the time came for the big reveal at the stroke of midnight the teenSTYLE staff managed to release the cover leaving us wanting more. Yet here it is, the cover that has got all of Stardoll town raving:It's fabulous, right? Fun, colourful, and Lindsay looks stunning. I really gotta give it up for the teenSTYLE staff, because they really blew me away with this one. I love everything about this cover. The graphics are amazing and whole thing just screams FABULOUSITY. Its everything we love about STYLE with a fun, witty, teenage edge. STYLE may have gone to the teen's, but sure hasn't lost it's touch. Now to the party! We laughted, we danced, we talked. What's a STYLE magazine party without looking fabulous. So naturally here are my picks for the Hits and Misses for the teenSTYLE magazine release party:

Allure.Beauty

She looked okay. She didn't wow me, yet she didn't really step outside the box. She simply wore a Vivienne Tam dressed and paired it with shoes and a clutch. Call it classic, call it boring, I call it average.

Verdict: YAWN!!writemarycat

Can you say Glam. The editor-in-chief of one of Stardoll's other leading magazines obviously know a thing or two about fashion as she brought full on glamor rocking this gorgeous Lily et Cie by Rita Watnik gown.

Verdict: Total HIT lovinitlovinit
I wasn't sure what to think of this outfit except for unique. She defiantly didn't play this one safe and you got to hand it to her, she looks pretty good.

verdict: HIT Star_Awards

She's back and she's bringing a whole new look with her. Although I loved this look , it wasn't exactly teenSTYLE formal dress code release party, if you get what I mean.

Verdict: MISSfakeshake3
She's one of Stardoll's fashion icons yet as much as I love this look, it just doesn't seem to match the formal theme. I think she just may have gone a tad too casual, but its Ellie and she obviously created a very beautiful outfit.
Verdict: HITBlonde_Bum101
She truly stepped outside the box and took this Hotbuys tank to a whole new level. She's gorgeous and creative and she totally rocked this outfit.

Verdict: HIT
oiji
I just think this outfit is too out-of-place for the event. I actually quite liked the outfit until I saw the scale tights and cowboy boots. I call them as I see them, and I never wanna see those...ever.
Verdict:MISS chanelno.5
Let's just slap a big fat "What was she thinking" sticker on this mess. I really don't know what else to say about that.
Verdict: big MISS
Isabella.Arci
The queen of layering does it again. The current STYLE magazine covergirl leaves us speechless once again as she puts together other outfit that's nothing short of a masterpiece.

Verdict: HIT
Britneys07
Its Britney B!tch, and don't you forget it. I gotta hand it to her, she managed to created a stunning outfit that just goes to show, what a Little layering can do.

Verdict: HIT

Polaris97soccer
So this is one of my favorites from the evening. Gal, you rocked it. Its simple, its elegant, and its oh-so sophisticated. No frills, Puff, or clutter, just a beautiful outfit at its purest.

Verdict: HIT

Springate
Feather Boa? Check. Black Ballgown? Check. Fabulousity? Check, check, check. Really, only Anthony could pull this one off. He is after all our favorite tranny and that's why we love him. He's the life of the party and the God (or goddess) of creativity.

Verdict: HIT HIT HIT!!

Well those are my picks from the evening and in case you haven't checked out teenSTYLE here's the link:


Until next time.

Baby, I'm Back!

I'm back from my three day vacation feeling well rested and looking very tanned. Three days of non-stop beach and tennis truly do some good for a gals well being. I'm back to the smoggy city life unfortunately, and finally. The beach is great but me, I'm a city gal. More news! Notice anything new? Why yes I'm back to Blogger. Let's give a little hooray. Wordpress is fabulous, simple and chic but it's just not...me. Also it was bugging me that I couldn't put a music player on the page. It just wouldn't The Paperdoll Planet without the funky beats of Santogold welcoming you to the blog. I made some minor tweaks to the layout. Hope y'all love it as much as I do.

Well i'm back baby, and stay tuned to the upcoming posting whirlwind as I'll try to sum up the three days of my absence. It's The Paperdoll Planet and y'all won't miss a beat.

Don't Miss me too Much:)

No, I'm not quitting this blog nor leaving Stardoll, In case that was what you're thinking. It's going to take more than laziness to make me give-up on this blog.
Just when I thought I got this bloging figured out I am sad to say that I will be absent for three days. I know. How will you ever survive. In all seriousness this trip was a tad sudden so I don't have enough time to post anything from tonight's festivities, aka teenSTYLE release party, but I promise that I will sort it all out as soon as possible. No worries dears, I will explain everything when I return. Until then your just going to have to patiently await my return to find out my fashion picks of the evening and all the other juicy gossip i'm just dying to reveal. And may I add, I will return soon so I don't miss me too much.
Ta-ta for now,

Today's the Day

After months of anticipation and expectation today we mark the release of teenStyle, and boy, is it exciting. The party is annouced to take place at Style_Magazine's guestbook at 11:00pm British Summer Time. The dress code is as expected, formal, yet with a teenage kick to mark the release of a teenage magazine. Makes sense.

Since this will be the first party I will be attending after the opening of this blog I will now unleash my fashion expertise and bring to you the Best and Worst dressed of the night. Hope y'all have got your gorgeous outfits ready, because I'll be watching. Hope to see you all there looking fabulous.

Have fun tonight, and i'm off to get my outfit ready.
