Juxt A Pose? Um? No thanks.

I get it now, juxtapose is a real word.

It means 'place or deal with things close together for a contrasting effect' for all you illiterates and people who can't explain things well like myself.

Example (yes, this is out of the dictionary too, like that matters)

'Black and white photos of slums were starkly juxtaposed with colour images.'

And if you don't know what stark means it's something sharply clear, impossible to avoid.

So maybe Stardoll is trying to say these clothes stand out? I should of mentioned that when Stark Raving Glad came out. Anyway.

Yes they do, and in all the wrong ways.

I don't really see the contrast. It's just plain ugly.

The graphics are nice though, you can look at the look book yourself because Blogger is taking it's sweet time.

If I put any of this on my doll I'll look like a lost cavewoman or something so I'm not buying anything.

Thoughts?

No Givenchy? o.o

Firstly, a new Hot Buy which you've probably seen already is out, the Hot Buys Pink Cheetah Top. And it's not that hot.

It looked way better in the graphic but it's not that bad. I don't like the pink frilly thing on the bottom, maybe that's what ruins it.

If it were just an all black sort of thing with no pink stuff and with the print it'd be nice. As you can see it's 17sds.

As I was saying in the title, I don't know if this glitch has happened in your country but the Givenchy and Moschino stores are gone completely without notice and have been replaced by the hideous and once hidden Monte Carlo store. I really want this fixed because I am no way a fan of those cheap-looking ensembles. I want that Givenchy bag I was hoping to buy but no -.-

Can you still see the Givenchy and Moschino tribute stores?

Hideously Huge Blouse? No thanks!

Owl here darlings, sorry I haven't posted on the lovely little blog in quiet some time!! xx
Anyways, I managed to get onto Stardoll for a few good minutes amid many 2-minute freezes a few minutes ago, and something in Starplaza made me choke on the rather yummy cookie i was eating. [;D]...
A huge, boxy, no even close to fitting tee shirt, form the Mortal Kiss Calendar, with a picture of Liz's face as a zombie. I can't supply you a picture, as Stardoll is being trollish, as usual.[I'll explain in a moment.] I would possibly buy this tee if it was a bit more, hem hem, 'well-fitted', and a bit less expensive. [11SD? Guess its because they used so much fabric...] The print itself on the shirt is very pop-iconic and nice, and would look nice with a blazer and my signature dark skinny jeans. I'm all for that loose, -overly-large trend, but, honestly Stardoll, can you at least do it in a bit more of a tasteful manner?

Pecks on your cheeks,
Owlie.xoxo.

P.S: I have not really been able to be on Stardoll the past few days, because I have been having issues with it constantly freezing. Anytime I go to a new page on the site, it entirely freezes for about 2 minutes. Its beyond frustrating, and I have found other members are having the same issue. It's only Stardoll, too, by the way. Facebook, Twitter, Blogspot, Pixie Hollow, etc.etc., are working in mint condition. So, if you need to 'emergency' contact me until this gets fixed, please do so via Twitter, I'm @OwlWeasley. Pecks on your cheeks, darlings! xoxo

Scotland, Day One.

I miss America, and my friends and MILES. Strangely enough, I miss people that DON'T say crazy words and have ridiculously difficult to understand accents. So sorry for not posting about it until now. The computer literally was just set up yesterday in the new house. We had to spend days in a hotel because I guess part of the ceiling in the master bedroom caved in and such and it was all a big stupid mess. Anyhow, It's beautiful here. After the 24 hours it took to GET here, we camped in a hotel for like 15 days I think? (keep in mind that was days ago.) and now we are settled into our new (old) house. It's beautiful and it has a great view of a little pond thing. All I've really done here so far is eat strange food from a takeout place and walk around the streets a bit. I start at my new school in about a week, so that should be interesting. I found out Scottish people don't in fact speak another language. Huh.

Mortal Kiss Interior

There's another new Mortal Kiss store, a decor store.

I actually really like it -- the spooky items would be awesome for a Halloween room, and thats why I bought a few items.

Also today from the Mortal Kiss calendar you can buy a Stardoll pal of the character 'Lucas'. This name was familiar to me because my doll is wearing the same Burberry scarf from last years' Mortal Kiss... Yeah I'm wearing a boys' scarf;

(I know I need a new outfit, be quiet ¬.¬)

Anyway don't they look like twins or something? =') Except Lucas is more lifelike and my doll is too attractive to be related to him (....) but whatever.

And Stardoll can't even put the pants on properly if you look closely (click to enlarge) how sad.

The third September Hot Buy is out, too, the Hot Buys Bead Necklace;

I like the September Hot Buys but I'm not really a fan of this. What do you think?

Sorry for not posting that much...

I have only posted once but between school and sports I haven't had much time for computer same with the rest of us probably. Anyways I just wanted to say hi so.......hi.

So I ATTEMPTED...

The title is "Eye Spy"
I was going for an eye looking through a hole in the wall sort of thing

...to create a Stardoll graphic from scratch. I tried to capture that look that the Stardoll graphics have. I've made graphics before but all inclusive to my medoll which no longer exists, so yaus. I was thinking some kind of a teaser for a magazine when I made it. Though, I am not making any magazines any time soon. :3

Sorry guys.

I've not been on at all for the past week or so. I've been so busy! I barely have time for anything!
But if you guys ever need to contact me, contact me through SD messages, guestbook, or Facebook. It's really all I use.
If you want my e-mail, pm me somehow, and I'll give it to you. I get notifications from my e-mail to Grant's phone (xD) so I normally know if you guys are trying to contact me(:

Haha, love you alllll! <3

Hot Buys Feather Drop Earrings

At 11sds these are the first item of the fabulous September Hot Buys.

I love them. I love the colours and the simplicity and how well they match my dolls' blonde hair, see?

Lovelovelove.

Opinions?

Opulence Store

When I see this store, I think Palazzo Versace, but less classy and more... eh.

I see where the inspiration came from and actually having had been to the Palazzo Versace (even if it was for once night, once) I really see it. (You also know it's meant to be a Versace store because some of the items say Palazzo whatever) If you don't know what it is then where have you been? O_O It's just a really expensive and posh hotel created by Versace, the Italian designer and brand... you probably do know but anyway it's a bit too gold (Opulence).

Versace has a very busy and French provincial sort of look in a very Versace way but there is minimalism even if there isn't much. I don't really see the minimalism here. There is too much to look at and nothing to focus on, which makes it too much. I don't know if you're like me but I like things that stand out and nothing really stands out because everything is so colourful and ugh. Opulence literally means 'ostentatiously rich and luxurious or lavish' so Stardoll is trying to be posh.

I think what actually ruins this store is the interior but the furniture is still ugly. It's too much and it's bleh and it's not classy at all, it's a tad trashy and I'm not buying any of it. Well there's one exception.

I like the 'Silver Duchess Arm Chair' in the second picture, it's gorgeous.

Will you be buying anything? Opinions?
