Elite Interviews: To_Royal

  Interview with To_Royal

Talking about Stardoll's past, present, and future.

Never the same, forever evolving. This can be said about several things: fashion, Stardoll, the world, but also applies to the fabulous Dei, otherwise known by her Stardoll username To_Royal. Recently we sat down and talked to Dei about her extraordinary Stardoll career, and here's what she has to say.

Stardoll FameWhores: Hello Dei, welcome! 

To_Royal: Hello!

SFW: You're considered one of the newer set of elites on Stardoll, but you've also been around long enough to witness with the changing time, the changing of stardoll. Do you think Stardoll has gotten better or worse?

D: I don't really see anyone as 'elite' anymore, maybe popular, but never elite. But I think Stardoll has changed for better and for the worst because though the easy going carefree part is gone where people threw parties, had fights, and weren't scared of an opinion or two, people are more smart and witty than before as well, but I would have to say I don't think people understand just how different it's gotten.

 SFW: What is your opinion on elitism on Stardoll? Do you think it's worth it or not?

D: It's stupid, of course people still believe in elites, but honestly there are none, only thing there is now is really rich Stardoll's who have tons of friends from either being a popular blogger or designer.

SFW: You are involved with Memoires of a Medoll, the legendary Noelle_Page's and Isabella.Arci's blog. How do you think this blog has evolved?

D: Depends on how the readers see it as, but I hope for the better.

SFW: What projects are you involved in at the moment?

D: That is a secret.

SFW: What projects will you get involved in the near future?

D: That is a secret as well.

SFW: Fashion is a fickle thing. As Heidi Klum says, "One day you're in, the next, you're out." What do you make of this statement and how it applies to Stardoll's own fashion style, from the fashion houses to the magazines to what we see in StarPlaza?

D: Really, Stardoll gives us whats in weekly whether people recognize that or not, though some of the styles and fashions are questionable, I believe only some can be ahead of the fashion game. But on Stardoll people try to just be themselves, but I don't think you can be original if you are trying to follow trends that you didn't start.

SFW: Do you miss Stardoll when it was still young, a few years back where loopholes and an abundance of cat fights existed?

D: I miss it for the fun of it all, but all things come to an end eventually so I try not to cry over the past.

SFW: Do you think that Stardoll will ever revive itself and come back?

D: A website like this can't change its self, only the users can, and from what I've seen, Stardoll won't ever be turning back, forever evolving.

SFW: What advice do you have for guys and girls who want to make it to the top?

D: Have fun with that. Haha.

SFW: And that concludes our interview! Thanks for being here, Dei!

D: Thanks for having me!

Site being revitalized!

Hello everybody, I'm back! I realize I haven't posted in a long while, and I realize that you all followed because you wanted elite interviews that no other blog on the Stardoll net provides! I'm busy breathing new life into this blog, but I'm not doing it for the fame, but simply the pleasure of writing. This means I'm not going to host any kind of elaborate grand opening party, but know that every one of my readers who gives me feedback gives me so much joy.

Thank you for reading, and when the interview goes up, I hope I don't disappoint! :)

Elite Interviews: Conii987

Interview with Conii987

Graphics Girl & The Stardoll Freakshow 

Ruth (Conii987) made her break in the Stardoll world through her graphics. Currently, she works as a co-owner of The Stardoll Freakshow, Wonderland of E with Egle Stone, and Stardoll's State Of Fashion, headed by Stardoll legendary Mary Semenchenko. 

Stardoll Famewhores: What is your definition of Stardoll elitism?

Conii987: People that are known in stardoll, either it's for being nice, a famous model, really good graphic designer, awesome project, etc.

SFW: Do you believe yourself to be an "elite"? If so, why or why not?

C: No, *giggles* well I have made a few projects, and I'm co-owner of TSF but, I don't think I'm an elite or that I'm well known.

SFW: You are an owner of The Stardoll Freakshow. Describe what it is like to own and manage such a monemental Stardoll blog?

C: Well the real owner is Laura (Lizs) because I haven't officially bought TSF from her, but I'm managing it. Well, it's quite hard and I struggle a lot because some writers don't post often, or when not many people comment, but it's all part of owning a blog, and I try to do everything I can to make it better.

SFW: Do you have any projects planned?

C: I might, but it's not sure yet. But I don't really think I'll stay on Stardoll for that much longer, only to check my mail and talk to my friends because I have school and right now I'm in my finals, and it's much more important.

SFW: You are a talented graphics designer. What inspires your creativity?

C: Aw, thank you! Well, I love looking at other peoples graphics, and study them carefully, also whenever I look at a great editorial I get this thing that makes me want to turn it into a graphic.

SFW: What do you like best about Stardoll?

C: Just to be yourselves, and not to act cool just to be an 'elite' and a famewhore. If you want to be known come up with an amazing project, think of things that no one has ever done before, and most importantly be nice to everyone, and don't judge a book by its cover.

Elite Interviews: Star_Awards

Interview with Star_Awards

a.k.a. Baya Nikolas "Elite-News" and -Inspired-

Sometimes the person behind the dollie isn't exactly the same person you'd expect. Vanessa proved that theory to us several weeks ago when she released a post as "Baya Nikolas"- her alter ego on Perez Hilton of Stardoll, revealing who was actually behind the wildly sucessful corporation. Vanessa talks to us today, as herself. Click here to read her interview as Baya Nikolas.

Stardoll Famewhores: Now that you've released your true identity, how difficult was it to keep Baya Nikolas a secret?

Star_Awards: It wasn't really that difficult.

SFW: Nobody really questioned who Baya was. As with most new "gossip bloggers" people question who they really are. Your dupe was a well executed one. How did you manage that?

S: I'm a muti-tasker, I can juggle so many things at once. Of course it did have it's challenges, but I liked to play with it and keep everyone guessing.

SFW: Some people claimed that it would've been better when Baya was a secret. Now that it isn't, Elite News doesn't have that "magic touch" anymore. How do you feel about it?

S:  I still believe Elite News will always have that "magic touch", it may not feel like it right now, but that's not because of me revealing who I am but more because it hasn't been active.

SFW: Now it is going around that the real shocking surprise wasn't you being Baya, but you being your other account -Inspired- which you revealed at the same time! Why is that?

S: I wanted to come clean about everything at once, like that it's all out in the open and I don't have to hide anymore. When you hold so many secrets, it's get's overwhelming and I feel so much better that everything is out.

SFW: What are your plans for Elite News now?

S: Well, I've already have many storylines plot out for the rest of the year, but I'm kind of going through writer's block, and so I have been stump on blogging lately. I'm slowly coming out of it. So, once I'm able to fully work with my imagination again, I plan to keep Elite News and the rest of my blogs alive and active. Baya will still and always be Baya. Nothing has changed.

Elite Interviews: Wooldoor

Interview with Wooldoor

Dynamic Graphics&Artistry

Since appearing on the "Stardoll Radar," Eliza (Wooldoor) has taken Dollywood by storm. She gained notable glory for her spectacular graphics, which, are unique in their own measure, by being obviously and purely hand-drawn, not done by copying poses from Stardoll or i-Dressup dolls, inspiring a new era in where graphics are taken to a new level.

Stardoll FameWhores: Hello, how do you feel about Stardoll's "elite" society?

Wooldoor: Hi, I have positive views and negative views. Probably more positive though rather than negative. A negative opinion is that most elites are fame hungry. They would do anything to be on top, and I guess I know how that feels like to not be on top and try so hard to get there. But it's a really good thing when things go your way. It's kinda like real life fame, except anyone can become famous on here.

SFW: Whom do you consider to be elite?

W: I consider somebody to be elite when they have done something that everyone knows them for. Someone who isn't only good at what they do, but they are people who have, I guess that charm. It's someone broadcasted throughout the Dollywood society someone such as Fakeshake03 or Star_Awards. 

SFW: The first time I saw your one of your graphics (I believe the Gaga one), I was like "OMG, she is amazing!" Especially since anything to that detail must be hand drawn and not copied. What got you into graphics design?

W: I have always been doing graphics, even if it's such as simple manipulation. I started doing basic drawing on paint with Stardoll graphics like a bent arm. I didn't really consider myself good though.

SFW: What inspires this creativity?

W: I was always inspired by Doinker_Chic or Dodence_Bt. One day there was a photoshop comp on SMW and I entered. I spent hours on it. I didn't really like it but I decided I should try harder. I didn't win, but that's what inspired me.

SFW: What do you like best about Stardoll?

W: I like the fame. The nice people, the clothes. I like how I can make outfits on here which I couldn't in real life.

SFW: Are you working on any new projects at the moment?

W: I am indeed. I am working on issue 2 of my magazine and a McQueen Tribute project for Feburary.

SFW: Sounds enthralling! What advice would you have towards users who want to make a name for themselves on Stardoll, as you did?

W: Believe in yourself. Like your work, but ask for constructive criticize. Don't ask friends who would just lie and protect your feelings, you need to get hurt to get stronger.

SFW: Thank you!

W: My pleasure.

Elite Interviews: ItGonnaRain

Interview with ItGonnaRain

Stardoll's Iconic Model

 

We sat down in the suite of Blair (ItGonnaRain). Fashionably decorated as such as one of the most iconic models is able to do, Blair is the epitome of high fashion and sophistication in it's most simplistic beauty, which many superstars and non-superstars alike are not able to create.

 

Stardoll FameWhores: Hello, thank you for joining us! What do you think about elitism on Stardoll?

 

ItGonnaRain: No problem, I think that the so-called "elites" are only a problem when they abuse their power and treat people as if they are inferior. There are many popular people on Stardoll who are generous and kind, and those people can be looked up to by the rest of Stardoll users. However, I think it is a problem when people try to conform to an elite image instead of being true to themselves.

 

SFW: You're known as one of the most sucessful and looked up to models on Stardoll. How does it feel to hold such a prestigious title?

 

I: That is a huge compliment. I'm glad to be considered successful on Stardoll because it shows that you can be yourself and be a non-superstar, and still achieve great things.

 

SFW: Speaking of non-superstar, it's a common myth that non superstars cannot get anywhere on stardoll or achieve anything. But, obviously, you disprove all of these theories, how does it feel to be an image inspiration of many people?

I: There is definitely an attitude of superiority among many Stardoll users that superstars are superior to non-superstars, however this is so not true! Many times, superstars get caught up in buying the latest expensive, "designer" look on Stardoll, and their outfits and style become boring and not unique at all. It is so much more fun to create interesting looks from lots of cheap or strange pieces, than to throw on the latest trend off of a designer rack.

 

SFW: Truly! Where do you get your inspiration for your shoots?

I: I am always looking through fashion magazines like Vogue for inspiration. I also love to create shoots inspired by fantasy worlds and old children's stories, because often times they have dark or even disturbing qualities that are fun to bring out.

 

SFW: Vogue is such an inspiration. In fact, I remember the first time I saw a Vogue magazine in a local store, and I was like, "wow, I want to be that sophisticated and chic." You have your own model competition, called STMN, how were you inspired to create it?

 

I: I noticed a lot of modelling competitions that were really superficial and focused only on appearance, or how well your makeup was applied, so I decided to create a competition based on talent. SNTM.xx is a competition that anyone who is truly talented can succeed at, whether or not you are considered popular or elite.

 

SFW: Sounds like something we should all try, to see how creative we really are and are judged regardless of superficials. Are you working on any new projects at this time?

 

I: Cycle 5 of SNTM.xx has just started, and I have recently been asked to judge many other modelling comeptitions, for which I am listed as a manager.

 

SFW: Do you have any advice for girls who want to beome sucessful in modeling?

I: I assume you mean on Stardoll. On Stardoll, all you have to do is be yourself, have fun, and of course practice making sceneries and posing. There are actually some great posing tutorials on the website Editorialized, that are written by liajm, the winner of SNTM.xx Cycle 4. 

 

SFW: Thank you so much!

I: Of course!

Elite Interviews: Hunnigall

Interview with Hunnigall

Graphics Extraordinaire

Alice sits down with us to talk Fierce, Ostenatious, plans for the future, advice, and more, learn everything you ever wanted to know about Stardoll's graphic extraordinaire!

Stardoll FameWhores: What is your opinion on Stardoll elitism?

Hunnigall: I'm not going to lie. When I first found the 'elite' world (IE: Perez) I thought it was EVERYTHING. I would stop at virtually nothing to be among the likes of Fakeshake3, Style_Magazine and BeverlyHillsHei (they were 'on top' at that time, no doubt) but right now, right here, having tasted it. I think it's ridiculous how much we obsess over it. It's nice to be recognised, but to lose who you are through a website? No thanks, not for me.

SFW: What inspired you to start creating graphics?

H: Mario. Quite simply Mario. I had tried my hand at graphics long loong looong before he was around when I was a Style Magazine fan and tried to create my own. Once I found my feet I realized that actually, I was pretty good.

SFW: Even though you weren't able to finish Ostenatious in time for Stardoll Fashion Week, the release of your partial collection was still much anticipated and celebrated! Will you be presenting another Ostenatious collection next Stardoll Fashion Week?

H: Ahh, that was the total collection sadly... It was just small. If I ever do them again, they'll be small. Less stuff and better quality is my preference. I doubt I'll get time for next SFW to be perfectly honest, but keep your eyes open, 'cause I haven't got a definate yes or no until the actual night. I guess it will remain a mystery to all of us.

SFW: Sounds fascinating!Are you planning for another Fierce Magazine?

H: I am, I am indeed. I'm working on it, but I'm merging it with my Media project (school work) which requires SO much time, effort and when I get around to editing it to SD style I probably won't finish it until the Summer season...

SFW: You've been dubbed (unofficially, of course) by Stardoll members as one of the "Influential." How does that feel?

H: I am? Seriously? That's AWESOME! I'm proud of that. I like being influential. The world needs more weird people, and I want to lead them into GLORY! (of the knickerbocker kind ;D)

SFW: What Stardoll projects do you support? (For example, NOH8 and such.)

H: Erm... Honestly, I don't support any of them. I'm barely online anymore and I don't get much time. Obviously I support my amazing friend Tyler's blog, and er.... God, I wish I could think of more but I can't. I'm just not cool enough to support people :( OOOH! Elites Exposed. I LOVE that blog (quite passionately.)

SFW: Any upcoming projects?

H: Yes. But I can't reveal any details whatsoever. It's very hush-hush. Very. It's also very big. And I don't mean big as in "oh, I'm releasing something BIG!" and then a miniscule graphic is released. I mean big as in "oh, I'm releasing something BIG!" and a massive explosion that causes mass destruction and worldwide disturbances goes off. O yea, it's big.

SFW: What advice would you give to girls (and guys) who want to have sucessful projects?

H: Make them good. Perfectionism is no sin. I pick out faults in everything I do, I am the ULTIMATE perfectionist. I pick faults out of everything, so, if you've made a magazine or a project that I've seen, chances are I've picked out one or two faults. If you can do a job that you're proud of, it'll pay off more. That's why I take sooo long to do Fierce, SFW etc (aside from the excuse of plain ol' laziness)
also, before you post/release anything, show a few people for opinions. LISTEN to the crisicism (you learn next to nothing from compliments) and work on it. Then sleep on it. If, after all that, you think it's ready to post, dammit, go post it!

SFW: Thank you so much!

H: No problemo!

Elite Interviews: Bubblyminty

Interview with Bubblyminty

~Icicles & Memoires~

Jenny (Bubblyminty) is a rising star in fashion as well as an accomplished writer for Medoll Memoires. She is gearing up for a big year, and is ready with new ideas and more fashion designs!

Stardoll FameWhores: You've recently returned to Stardoll, what is your opinion of the site? Has it "changed" so drastically, and were you suprised in a good or bad way?

Bubblyminty: I actually at first didn't really liked the change...the make-over, not suprising as I am not a person who is open to changes. I thought that it wasn't very original and quite similar to i-dressup. But as time progressed I did warm to the make-over, when I look back at the old Stardoll, I am quite grateful for what we have today. It is more modern and grown-up, and as for the dramatic side of things, there are less catfights and trying people to hog the lime-light right now.

All these new projects are fabulous such as Stardoll Fashion Week, it is great the people can show their creativity and become friends! It keeps getting better and better on Stardoll.

SFW: You're a writer on Memoires of a Medoll, a lovely blog, what do you specifically write about on there?

B: I am really just grateful that Noelle and Isabella let me write for Medoll Memoires. I did not know much about it as when it was released I took a break from Stardoll. After reading through the blog I got interested in it, it is somewhat different from other blogs out there today.
I try not to post about the usual gossip,that is too "cliche" and not my type of thing. Also I find that forever posting about free items and hotbuys could bore the readers and there are plenty of blogs which do this anyway.

I try to write about things which are though-provoking and issues which raise awareness you know? Something original and entertaining!

SFW: Your new fashion design project, Icicles, is very popular! Are you going to try and showcase it at Stardoll Fashion Week?

B: I don't know, maybe I will...or maybe not. I got bored making Hello Kitty t-shirts, they are everywhere today, along with celebrity and cartoon prints which I find less couture by the minute. The other day I decided to do some prints as other such as Marcela have been very successful! The print came out wrong and when I took a secone glance at it, I fell in love with it!

Quite a few have bought some dresses and I am thrilled at how it is coming along. I doubt that I could do graphics and therefore will probably not be showcasing it, I will be just be sitting back and looking at everybody elses's work instead.

SFW: You say for "Icicles" you want to have a new collection for each month, will this mean you will have a new line fit for the season?

B: Yes hopefully if the sucess stays the same I will continue! The line is basically just "Bubblyminty"...yes I know not very original! But I will be naming it other things besides "Icicles", things to do with the months you know?

SFW: What is your opinion of elitism on Stardoll?

B: I do believe that some people should be recognised for what they have achieved, such as Style_Magazine, she is the pioneer for starting off the trend of virtual magazines. Yet still, some people have become recognised for their obnoxious and cunning ways, I will not say any names.

I know that many elites will ignore people who are less-known which I think is absurd, just because someone if viewed as an "elite" on Stardoll does certainly not make them one in real-life.

SFW: What is your biggest ambition on Stardoll?

B: I do not have any ambitions yet, I am far too busy haha! I am not for these big projects, I prefer helping the bigshots. I can be quite laid-back at times which probably explains this!

SFW: What are you looking forwards to on Stardoll?

B: Well I am looking forward to seeing and taking part in all the campaigns and projects many of our fellowing stardollians and conjuring up today. Not just Stardoll Fashion Week, but I think that NOH8 is something to look out for at the moment. And Zoe_Couture's "The Social Group" sounds fun too!

SFW: What advice do you have for girls who want to become known on Stardoll (in areas of your expertise)?

B: Oh I am not sure. I wouldn't class myself as an elite as such! But for people who are looking to become well-known...I really do not know. Maybe offer something to the world of Stardoll?
But there are more things more worthwhile then to climb this metaphorical social ladder. I rather just be a friendly and creative member and be known for that!

SFW: Thank you!

B: Thank you, it was a pleasure!

Elite Interviews: Mini_Casie

Interview With Mini_Casie

Pefection Magazine Owner

We caught up with Mini_Casie, owner of the new debut magazine Perfection. Celebrating her success- and her hard work- she works towards bigger and better goals.

Stardoll FameWhores: What do you believe it means to be elite?

Mini_Casie: I believe an elite is someone who does something to make a difference, has a great sense in style and has a positive attitude! Many people want to be an elite just to have that popularity. If I were an elite, I'd make a difference like writemarycat did. She invented Stardoll Fashion Week and I honestlky thought that was a hit. Think of something new and you may be the next elite.

SFW:  Who do you believe should be elite? 

M: Hah. Funny you ask that. JulitQa93 (Julita) She is so lovely! She is great at graphics designing. She could be a major elite as soon as she is more out there and noticed! She works for me in Perfection Magazine! She also has a great sense in style, and has a positive attitude! Did I forget to mention she is totally nice?

SFW: How did you think of Perfection? How did I think of the name?

M: Well... it was way before SFW even started. I wanted to come out with something fresh. Then Perfection got delayed so it was down hill. I took a break to find graphics designers. SFW shows Lily Rose using my Perfection name! But it's all good now. XD I wanted something elegent and classy fo happen. This is my first magazine issue yet and I know it will be a hit because my team and I have worked so hard ALREADY! 

SFW: What other projects are you part of?

M: Well I have been asked to be a project of other Groups such as Beautule and Lipstick.

SFW: Fashion style?

M: My fashion style is Chic Glamour and Indieish. I really am enjoying hues of brown and cream colors right now. I dress like this in and outside of Stardoll. I personally like my style alot! Ever since I've joined Stardoll I have noticed my fashion sense has been getting stronger and stronger!

SFW: Any advice for future magazine owners?

M: Just find a great strong team and hope for the best! Strive to Excel and you are on the right track from their! Just work hard and make sure it;s not all serious... have some fun! Think outside of the box and you could be one of the best Magazine's out there!

SFW: Thank you.

M: Thanks for having me, it was a pleasure!

Elite Interviews: EliteNews

Interview with EliteNews

Stardoll's "Elite" Blogger

We caught up with Baya Nikolas (EliteNews) in her suite recently for a chat. This influential Stardoll elite blogger is the owner of various popular blogs on Stardoll. We talked about projects, gossip, latest events, and what it really means to be- or not to be- on top.

Stardoll FameWhores: Thank you for joining us.

EliteNews: You're welcome.

SFW: What do you think it means to be elite? Do you believe in elitism on Stardoll? Does it exist?

E: I know it might sound ridiculous but elitism does exist on Stardoll. Being elite is nothing but a popularity status and most people achieve it by their style, talent, or some others achieve it with scandals and feuds - DRAMA.

SFW: You have several very famous/popular blogs. It's hard- after awhile- to keep posting on blogs. I, myself, have experienced it firsthand. How do you keep them running so efficiently?

E: You really just have to put a lot of effort into it. My motto is don't ever go at least one month without posting nothing, because that's when you begin to lose interest from the readers.

SFW: You're considered an entrepreneur when it comes to the idea of your blog. Especially when people start branching off with your idea(s), that means you've got a good thing going. How did you come up with the original idea? 

E: I get this question a lot, lol, I just wanted to do something different and entertaining that would get Stardoll members excited again. And I knew one thing that people love is GOSSIP, but at the time there really wasn't any gossip, so I thought why not create fake gossip blog?? Like what if Stardoll was a real city with celebrities (elites) like in real life blogs like Perez Hilton or TMZ.....and that's how Elite News was born!

SFW: Are you working on any new projects?

E: Nothing specific yet, but I'm always working on new projects. I'm always coming up with new ideas!

SFW: Exciting! Can't wait to see what else you'll think of. If you could change one thing on Stardoll, what'd it be?

E: I'm don't know. Stardoll is Stardoll.

SFW: You have a famous reputation for having a rocky past with Miss_LolitaF. You've even been the creator of the dubbed nickname LOLita. Have you made up with her yet, or not? What is your general opinion on the disagreements between you and Lolita?

E: I've tired making up with her in the past, but theres a time when you just can't do it anymore. I'm done with her. I think shes just a confused little girl that is insecure with life. She needs a CG title, followers, and virtual clothes to make her feel better about herself and she'll do anything to achieve that. I tired to help her realized that she doesn't need any of that, but it was like speaking to a rock.

SFW: If you could pick one influential person on Stardoll, someone who's even inspired you, who'd it be?

E: Writemarycat. I love that she's just so honest and doesn't really give a crap what people think. She's so creative and smart. I'm so grateful she took me under her wing and guided me to where I am today. I love Mary.

SFW: Now, in light of recent events, what is your opinion on the Linda/Noralie/Chace (Elite-Girl, BabetteCouture, Nojorama) disaster?

E: When I heard about what happened I immediately spoke to Nojo and Linda before I made an opinion about the situation. Linda was really hurt and angry, which was understandable. As for Nojo, he told me why he did what he did and I didn't blame him for doing it. I'm not saying it was right, but it was understandable. I think both just really needed to work on their communication skills and be honest about their feelings with one another and this would have never happened.

SFW: If you could give your advice to anybody about making their own project, what'd it be?

E: I would tell people just to make their blog their own and make sure it's unlike other blogs. You always want to keep readers interested. 

SFW: Thank you!

E: Thank you.

Elite Interviews: FriendOfYou

Interview With FriendOfYou

Stardoll's Entrepreneur Extoradinaire

We recently got to sit down with Lily in her extraordinairy suite in Dollywood. This entrepreneur is certainly the next big name in Stardoll, with her style, fashion sense, and creativity. She is one-of-a-kind, and I'm sure we will see her name featured on the big time soon in Stardoll Fashion Week!

Stardoll FameWhores: What do you think makes a good elite?

FriendOfYou: Personally, I believe to be an elite, you need to be stylish, nice, and outgoing. Looking at some of the current elites, I see stylish, but I don't see nice or outgoing, so I don't mentally think "Oh, she's elite!" when I visit their suite. Also, a good elite needs to be very creative. My favorite old super-cliche line is "Be yourself, everyone else is taken" and it really applies to being elite as well.

SFW: Do you think you could be an elite one day?

F: Possibly, if stardoll members could make room in the fabulous array of elites already on stardoll! I really am nice and outgoing. I try to be stylish.. I hope it shows.

SFW: That's great! Any projects on stardoll?

F: I've started a StarDesign line, but I haven't released it yet. The StarDesign line I've begun to create is called Lily Camille, named after yours truly. It's going to be a really subtle and vintage themed line full of creams, chocolate browns, and navy blues. Very, very Parisian. 

SFW: Sounds delicious. Biggest accomplishment on Stardoll so far?

F: I know it seems silly, but meeting some of my really close friends. Though they aren't a reward type of accomplishment, I am so so so grateful to have them, and they really are my saving graces. I don't know how I could possibly come onto stardoll without them. 

SFW: And by knowledge, I see you're one of our readers. What do you think about Stardoll FameWhores?

F: One of my favorite blogs! Haha, I love coming by and reading new interviews. So far, everyone interviewed has been really interesting, and I love seeing their views on things. Every single girl interviewed has had her own flair, and I look forward to reading more interviews! Keep up the good work!

SFW: What do you think about Stardoll Fashion Week?

F: I was busy throughout the full week, sadly. I wasn't able to attend any of the parties, but every now and then during the week I'd check out the new lines on the blog, and read about the events. Even with me not being there, I still got caught up in the enchanting feeling that fashion isn't JUST the clothing we wear every day.

SFW: What is your style? What inspires it?

F: I dislike labeling my style, but if I had to put a tag on it, I'd probably say grungy+vintage. I like leather, denim vests, gold chains, velvet, and all that jazz. Whenever I attempt an outfit, it ends up grungy. I could be getting ready for a big gala, and I'd manage to totally grunge-ify my dress. I'm inspired by streetwear all around the world, and high-fashion editorials. I flip through Vogue every chance I get!

SFW: That's fantastic! Keep up the good work! If you had one wish, what would you want on Stardoll?

F: I'd wish to become friends with a ton of new people. There are so many amazing people on stardoll, and I've befriended only few of the many I'd be overjoyed to even speak with. I'm really friendly, but at first I can be shy, so that prevents me a tad from making new friends.. but once you get to know me I'm really outgoing!

SFW: Yeah, I'm sure we all experience the same things! For or against new Stardoll layout? 

F: Totally for! At first I didn't like it because I couldn't find anything, but now I adore the rounded off, classy look to it. I admit I miss the old pink layout, and I would like to see it back on the website, but until stardoll answers some members' prayers, I'm all smiles!

SFW: Thank you!

F: Thank you!

Who do you want to see next on here? The interviews keep coming!

Elite Interviews: Ciaraleanne

Interview With Ciaraleanne

Stardoll's All-Around Entrepreneur

Stardoll FameWhores: Hello, thanks for doing this interview!

Ciaraleanne: No problem, thank you!

SFW: What do you think makes an elite?

C: Hmm…I don’t particularly like labelling someone as an “elite”… but in my opinion, I think an “elite” should be someone who is an inspiration. A person who has achieved something important and have brought a project that is something new and successful. Some people get the name of an elite just by being ‘popular’ for showing up at events or commenting on blogs etc. A true elite should be someone who has made a great achievement.

SFW: We agree - and you definitely are one! Who do you think should be elite?

C: I’m not really sure, someone who has a successful project that they put a lot of hard work into. 

SFW: You recently showcased your fashion line "Flawless" at Stardoll Fashion Week. How did it feel like to get so much positive feedback, and what are you planning for the next "Flawless," if it will happen?

C: I was really happy that people enjoyed it. There wasn’t even half as many dresses as there was supposed to be, thanks to my stupid computer for completely freezing and crashing. I was so annoyed with that because obviously the work has been lost, and I couldn’t show some of the amazing designs that Becka had drawn. I haven’t talked to Becka much about it, so I’m not entirely sure at the moment.

SFW: Well, we're all sure that you will continue to do a fantastic job with Flawless. You also work with Findurlove for Vanity Models, are you planning Cycle 3 soon?

C: Of course, we’ll sort it all out straight after Cycle 2 is finished! She has told me some very interesting ideas about the future of Vanity Models, so you will definitely not be disappointed.

SFW: How do you believe Stardoll Fashion Week went?

C: I didn’t actually attend any of the parties, considering I can’t get used to guest book parties at all and I would have been sooo lost in the conversation. But it seemed to be a huge success! And I think stardoll needs something like that every once in a while, to keep away some of the boredom. I loved all the collections.

SFW: What do you think about Stardoll has changed the most?

C: Well, when I first started off, there was no such things as magazines, clubs, stardoll blogs or any type of projects really. Stardoll is just increasing in quality and new ideas, to think that so much has happened in the space of 2-3 years, it’s amazing to think what could be available in another couple of months/years. The style and creative amount has definitely grown so much! 

SFW:  Are you for or against the new Stardoll layout?

C: Well, I was completely against it at the beginning but I have gotten used to it really quickly. The only things I would change are the guest books becoming normal pages again and the broadcasts should be far bigger, considering people spend a lot of money advertising their sales, etc.

SFW: What advice do you have for girls trying to start their own fashion line, like yours?

C: Hmm, well build up a good team first (That is, if you want help), plan everything out and collect a lot of inspiration for your designs. Try and be as creative as possible. Think ‘out of the box’.

Blog Owner's Note: Thanks for bearing with us, people, as I have been very busy with schoolwork and life, in general, so I applaud all of you for being patient. I can definitely promise more interviews though - and lots of news updates, as I will be hiring new writers and blog updaters very soon. Also, keep with us, expect a little magic in the air as we undergo another makeover.

Elite Interviews: Noelle_Page

Interview with Noelle_Page

Stardoll's Returning Champion

Some say that perhaps Noelle is the only elite without a big head, big ego, and a big mouth. Whoever they are, their words have spoken true. She is truly a person of her own; uninfluenced by the many girls who don't remember the fundementals of Stardoll society and real life society - to be kind and not to get your head too far above the clouds. As Stardoll's returning Champion - as I'd like to think of it, we caught up with Noelle recently in her upgraded suite.

Stardoll FameWhores: What do you believe creates a good elite?

Noelle_Page: Since the very beginning, i have made it very clear that I don't think anybody should be given any title. There shouldn't be any demarcation line here on Stardoll on who is elite and who is not... for the sake of argument though,If being elite would mean being creative and being humble about it, effortlessly making lots of friends and being honest... then that is an elite in every sense of the word.

SFW: Truly. Somehow that is forgotten in today's Stardoll. Your comeback to Stardoll is considered to be one of the greatest comebacks of the year - let alone of all time. How does it feel to be so celebrated?

N:  It was so good to be back after more than a year. More so than being welcomed back with open arms by a lot of people here, It was overwhelming to see old friends i've made in the past (2-3 years ago!) who are still here... and they made me feel really really welcome... it was like coming home to a "virtual family". Really heartwarming...

SFW: You have timeless style and effortless sophistication. How would you describe your personal style?

N: I'd say my personal style is "comfortably chic". I'm not particular with any brand. If i see something i like, i'd hold on to that and build an outfit around it. I like understated class. I believe that real fashion stems up from the inside and should not be influenced by any other factor aside from what you feel. As i'd like to say "Life is a fashion show... and the world is your runway."

SFW: Who do you think should be elite?

N: Honestly... i don't agree with any labels. I think that we should just all enjoy Stardoll for what it is.

SFW: Since you're now back on Stardoll, are you going to start any projects or continue any?

 

N: I have lots of things to do in my real life now... but who knows... maybe i just would in the near future.

SFW: What about Stardoll has changed the most?

N: The Stardoll users themselves. I think thay have changed both for the worst and for the best. I think they are more savvy now. They're getting more creative each day! If i could just say, i was floored by the collections i saw last SFW! Those are real God given talents. On the other hand, it seems as if some girls (or boys) here got a lot more vicious. I think that sometimes, these people forget that there are real people behind these medolls and these people get hurt.

SFW: Are you for or against the new Stardoll layout?

N: Im all for it! I think it's really cool!

SFW: What advice do you have for girls trying to achieve Stardoll sucess?

N: Just enjoy the site. Being popular is not everything. At the end of the day, you make your own name for yourself.... and you have a real life to live outside Stardoll.com. 

SFW: Thank you so much!

N: Thank you.

Elite Interviews: Mimi_Mami

Interview With Mimi_Mami

The Greatest Stardoll Comeback

We recently caught up to the Maria, a Stardoll elite with one of the Greatest Stardoll Comebacks of all time on Stardoll. She has so far, in her comeback, launched one of the most creative and stunning projects created, and, of course, has a style like none other! 

Stardoll FameWhores: Thanks for doing the interview! What do you think makes an elite of Stardoll?

Mimi_Mami: An elite of Stardoll tries to come with new ideas, goes to every party, has a successful blog or magazine. But nowadays seems like everyone is an elite. You just need to be featured one or two times on a blog and there you have it, an elite.

SFW: Very true, unfortunately with all of these people becoming elite, we should raise the standard, in my opinion. I believe the truly elite should be someone like Mary, who is innovative and sucessful. You are quite the celebrity! When the stardoll rumor mill said that you were coming back to Stardoll, even girls who didn't know you learned your name within a day! How does it feel to be so appreciated on Stardoll?

M: Aww thank you so much! I feel so proud of myself! I didn't know I would be coming back but then summer arrived and I was like: go for it! So I came back to stardoll. And then I decided to come up with new projects and ideas and I was very flattered that people talked good things about me. It's great to be remembered because of the good things rather than being remembered for bad things you've done. We may be living a virtual life but it still hurts when someone is mean to you.

SFW: Your project, "The Style Project," is simply fantastic! To me, it feels like a perfect combination between a magazine and a blog. It's obvious that you spend much time perfecting it, how did you get the idea to start something like this?

M: I love doing graphics and everything so I came up with a "blogzine" / "magblog". I would do graphics and tell people about my personal style and trends. I am very happy with TSP but sadly I just started school so I won't have time to do more posts... But it was a great experience and thank you to all who supported me!

SFW: Now, your blog is sponsored by Fashion Group, and the wonderful writemarycat. How does it feel to be sponsored by Fashion Group, and working with Mary? 

M: Mary is an amazing girl. She is very creative and talented. I love her! She is very sweet. People think she's rude and full of herself, but she isn't. She stays original and manages to be herself. She's doing it her own way and I love it. Fashion Group really helped me get TSP more popular among stardoll users and I am very happy to have FG as a sponsor.

SFW: You are very fashionable, and it really shows in especially your projects! How would you describe your personal style?

M: Thank you darling! I love to mix and match clothes. I think my style is very unique and simple but with my personal touch and of course some statement items like my birkin bag and my blazers.

SFW: Oh yes, birkins are essentials for every fashionista! I love my own! It is still the most worthwhile thing I've ever bought! Are you working on any more projects that are going to be released soon?

M: As I've said I had started school so no more projects haha.

SFW: That's too bad! But every girl needs a reason to stay, even when she's busy. What makes you passionate about Stardoll? What is your favorite part about it?

M: Fashion and friends. Enough said.

SFW: You've been around Stardoll for a long time - since 2006! Very few players can claim that they have! What do you think has been the biggest change from 2006 to today?

M: Back in 2006 it was all about dressing up celebrities and playing with fashion. And then on summer of 2008 elites came, perez hilton came, magazines came. Everything was perfect that summer. You had a reason for being an elite. And now? Now it's all about showing up once or twice to a party...

SFW: Yes, I believe the "elite" meaning has been so diluted. Do you have any advice for a girl who wants to start her own stardoll project and make it successful?

M: Be yourself, stay unique. Don't listen to rude comments. There will always be haters.

SFW: Thank you so much!

M: Thank you.

Elite Interviews: Blueberry-Dream

Interview with Blueberry-Dream

Supermodel and Fashion Blogger

We recently caught up with the one and only Sarah (blueberry-dream) between her busy schedule of photoshoots and modeling competition! Not only is she a model though - this fashion icon is also a blogger who recently started her own blog showcasing her own stunning artwork, as well as being a writer on Stardoll's hottest - and Most Wanted blog, yes, you guessed it - Stardoll's Most Wanted!

Stardoll FameWhores: What do you think makes an elite of Stardoll?

Blueberry-Dream: To me, an "elite" is of Stardoll is someone who is kind and generous, and is an icon and inspiration to other stardoll users out there. It's also good to have talent - like graphic designing for example - and I bet there are a lot of users out there who have that talent, and they just have to stand up and show it, and soon, everyone will know your name. 

SFW: Who do you think should be the next big elite of Stardoll, and why?

BD: Psychotic-Freak, definitely. She blew everyone away with her Stardoll Style Diaries, and she was noticed for that. Now she is one of Mary's assistants, she is kind, talented and just plain awesome, she has serious potential.

SFW: Definitely! Some blog followers contacted us requesting Becka's interview on this blog. She has really made a name for herself in society. Now, I've viewed your blog, All The Rage Fashion, and it's really just stunning! The artwork is fantastic, you really deserve a career as a fashion designer! How did you start, how did you develop a taste for fashion?

BD: Oh, thank you! Although I just started it, so it's pretty new. And thank you so much! When I was younger, I knew nothing about fashion. It didn't really mattered to me as I was so young, I wore what I wanted to wear. When I grew older, I was exposed to Stardoll - and Stardoll also exposed me to fashion. I began to experiment with fashion more, and this is how I developed my taste. Blogging+Fashion+Art = All The Rage.

SFW: Yes, the thing about Stardoll that never fails to amaze me is that no matter what, people discover their real knack for fashion, that without Stardoll, they would never know about! Now, you write for a very famous blog, Stardoll's Most Wanted, how does it feel to post something and have so many supportive readers commenting, blogging, and talking about it?

BD: Oh, it feels really great! Sometimes I am very busy with real life that I have no time to post on there, but there are over 3000 supportive readers that are all very enthusiastic and supportive that it keeps me smiling all day.

SFW: But, of course, blogs are not our first attraction to Stardoll. What really got you hooked on Stardoll in the first place?

BD: Dressing up myself, definitely! Faaaaaaaaaashion all day long.

SFW: You are a really good Stardoll model! What prompted you to start pursueing this kind of work?

BD: Fanks. I try to do all sorts of stuff on Stardoll, including modelling and "acting", just for the fun of it. I like doing new stuff, and I found out that modelling is now one of the things I love to do. I even walked for Dioguardi's Cruise Campaign!

SFW: Wow, sounds so exciting! The big catwalk is always the best way to start a career! There are so many girls who dream of doing things such as Dioguardi Cruise.  You sense of style is unique and amazing! So many girls look up to you every day, what is your inspiration?

BD: Ah well, I am inspired by many things - if you go on Tumblr.com you will see many amazing stuff, seriously.

SFW: I'm sure I will! I'll definitely check out Tumblr! Now- the big question, what projects are you currently working on?

BD: I am slowly building my own modelling agency, not much of a secret, really.

SFW: Sounds exciting! You will be sucessful, for sure! Any advice for girls who want to become successful, just like you? 

BD: Stand out of the crowd. If you have unnoticed talent, show it. If you have a taste for fashion, show it. If something's bugging you, speak out. You can't just take the backseat and stand in someone else's shadow. Be yourself, don't hold back. 

SFW: Thank you so much!

BD: Thank you.

Elite Interviews: Boo4Bettz

Interview with Boo4Bettz

Stardoll's "Ugly Side" Crusher

We caught up with Boo (Boo4Bettz) recently and this is what she had to say! The twenty one year old founder of The Ugly Side of Stardoll and the Fashion Side of Stardoll told us all about her one-of-a-kind unique blogs and her ideas, about how to keep safe on Stardoll, more! She tells us about LE and DKNY and the kind of girl she thinks could make it to the top. 

Stardoll FameWhores: Hey Boo, thanks for joining us!

Boo4Bettz: No problem, happy to be here!

SFW: Onto our first question.. Why do you think girls become elite?

B: Well I think its' a number of things, some because they are honest and sweet, but unfortunately I think now it is about how much stuff everyone has! Some of the most lovely and helpful girls out there don't have much sadly so they are not really noticed and that is what I think should be elite!

SFW: Truly! It's remarkable that girls with no class or no style, but own tons of LE, can become so popular. But all in all, what do you think about Stardoll's elite society?

B: Umm, well I can't really say I know a lot of them, but I know a few names, not really personally, I will talk to anyone elite or not though lol.

SFW: Often many elites go power hungry and hack/scam, a big recent incident Nicole-O, even though there have been far many more cases in the past. Why do you think they do that?

B: A real case of greed! No matter how much they have they always want more, no matter who they have to step on to get it! It's especially sad they steal from girls with next to nothing!

SFW: Yes! Which makes your blog, The Ugly Side of Stardoll, all the more important. What was your inspiration for creating something like that?

B: Well it was purely to help people! After I was scammed quite a few times by sickos of course Stardoll was absolutely no help at all! There are soo many hacks, scams, and real sickos out there on Stardoll now I think everybody should know who to stay away from and how to keep themselves safe!

SFW: Yes, elitism aside, what do you think is the core reason that all girls or boys, scam or hack?

B: Greed! But honestly I really don't know how they do it! I know it's not the same but we all have to ask how can a person rob an old lady? Either way, they really have no heart! Some of the girls on Stardoll are so young how can someone take advantage of that? But we will never know what goes on inside their heads!

SFW: If we can only peer in.. But other than working on your blog, what else do you do on Stardoll?

B: Well nothing specific I'm always so busy with blogs and life lol. But I'm always happy to help out when I can with interviews like this, outfits, and anything else really. I'm a slight shopaholic.

SFW: Aren't we all? What is your perspective on LE/rares?

B: Well I suppose you could call me a collector but I don't buy just for the sake of it, I buy what I like and will wear! The prices that Stardoll charges and what some people pay for items is crazy!

SFW: Your style is unique, what inspires you?

B: Well its usually an item I buy that I just have to wear, so I just work around that piece! Somedays it just depends on my mood how an outfit turns out.

SFW: Yes! What advice do you have for girls to prevent scamming/hacking to happen to them? A lot of girls are especially afraid of hackers- some girls even get hacked without handing out their passwords these days!

B: This is very worrying to me as well and the only advice I could possibly give out is to never give out your pass, email, or any info about your account! Never visit anyone with an offer of free stuff, if you could get it free anyone would have it! As for the whole hacking without a pass I've heard it happen here and there and all I can say is just be on alert if you ever notice anything or anyone suspicious in any way don't be afraid to say something and don't wind them up or anything just leave them be - you never know how capable someone is!

SFW: True! It's horrifying what we can find on Stardoll these days. Any advice for a girl who wants to start a blog on her own?

B: Hmm well my advice would be to have a great friend work on it with you! The blogs were suffering a while ago purely because I didn't have the time but thanks to the lovely Crist3y they are back and going strong! So don't try to go at it alone!

SFW: Well, that's it, thanks Boo for the interview!

B: Thanks for wanting to interview me! Great questions! Much love!

Anyone you want to see on here?

A .Marcela.. interview will be here soon.

Elite Interviews: Interview With Shakira_Avril

Interview with Shakira_Avril.

Stardoll Fame Whores: What can you tell me about your petition?

Shakira_Avril: My petition? Well right when we got this new Stardoll, I made it. I posted everywhere, and asked my good friends to post it too, and I noticed many people also people I dont know have it on their presentations. It was on many blogs too. I dont know if it had any influence on this Stardoll changes now, many users said it had, i hope it did :]


SFW: This is really good. I also signed it. And we ALL agree.
What do you think about elites? And how they should be like?

S: Elites. Personally, i have nothing against them, I mean they are those who entertain us all with their amazing projects and blogs, right? So most of the people hate elites, the real reason is simply jealousy. Because elites have succeeded and got out of the crowd, and others are still in there :]

Well, from all the elite Stardollians i met...They were pretty nice :P You just have to get to know them..Some non-elites think that elites are stuck ups and fame seekers. Which is not true at all, they simply do what they want and like, and by that they succeed ;]


SFW: You have really good point of view. I'm impressed. :D
Do you feel that you belong to the elite group and tell me why ofc. :D

S: Thank you :]
To be REALLY honest, i dont know. xD
I think I`m somewhere between, I think I should ask other elites what do they think. :P
The thing is that I dont collect rares, well except LE. I used to,but I sold everything when ran for CG.
Rares are usually something that almost every elite has, but I have blogs and projects...
So I have no idea :D


SFW: Haha me either. And who do you think has this great chance to become the elite nowadays?

S: Well I haven`t seen anyone really particular that has chances for being a new elite... I might say anita_o..Since she`s opening blogs and stuff :]


SFW: You mentioned LE. What are you favourite LE pieces?

S: I absolutely love my Taffeta dress :D
Then my favorites are Blue Multi Strap Ankle Boots and Rouched Skinny Pants xD
But I also sold my two favorite leggins...Oh well x]


SFW: What are your greatest achievements on Stardoll?

S: Covergirl,of course :D
Im also hoping to be an album winner next week, I`ve been planning it for weeks :]


SFW: That is really amazing and good luck. Do you have any adivces for girls who are trying to be Covergirl?

S: Thank you! :D
Yes, I have, right after I won, I wrote many useful tips in my album :]
Go check it out ^^


SFW: And what about your blogs & projects?

S: So, me and Lolita reopened our blog thestardollshiner.blogspot.com, its doing pretty good so far, then I have the Gloss Awards (glossawards.blogspot.com,nominations in the club), I work for Dioguardi group (dioguardigroup.blogspot.com) and gonna be the co-owner of anita_o`s blog :D


SFW: Aww haha ^^ I'm not that active. :PP
Ok just leave stardoll topic. What are your hobbies??

S: Hehe :D
Well, I`ve been doing horse riding for over a year now, I rollerblade, sing, and not sure if i`ll go take dancing lessons. :P


SFW: Wonderful!!! And who do you want to be in the future?

S: I`m hoping to be a designer, I`m happy cause I got into the Art high school,I chose fashion, and I think it could help me create my career, but if not, I`m thinking of working with animals :]


SFW: Thank you for the interwiev.

S: Sure,thank you too :D




Sorry it took me so long.
