Island Bound?

So today I received this in a message.

I wonder if it's a new theme, or store. The only two things I could think of.

If it is a theme, then this one must be very special, Stardoll usually never sends out messages for new themes.

Whatever it is I like the phone, Blackberry's are my favorite phones and I've always dreamed of owning one. Sorry iPhone.

My Life...turned upside down.

Hi,

I'm pretty sure you would rather hear about my view on Stardoll than a personal rant. But sometimes Stardoll starts being a Ghost Town and your Personal Life starts exploding with stuff so yeah.

First off, I only have 6 weeks to complete my school,l and I have about 50% of the year to go. So I may be writing a bit less although I will still write. But I don't see any rants for a while.

Second, my family's car needs power steering something[ I don't know anything about cars]  so that's gonna have to get fixed.

Third my birthday is in 2 weeks[and 1 day] [it's the 19th] so I'm excited for that =]

On my way up- A little Starpoint prediction

Hello,
So I'm about ready to reach my 3000 starpoints goal, with 103 Starpoints to go.

I, have a little prediction, used from previous results of Starpoint goals.

I'm gonna be using a little math, so if you don't get what I'm sayin, then I'll put a little description  at the end.

So each day you get a # of Starpoints depending on how active you are. 12 is the maximum number you can get in one whole day.

So that means if you  earn the maximum[12] points for a whole week you would be earning 84 points [12x7=84]

So that means in one whole month [let's say 30 days] you could earn 360 points![372 if there is 31 days.]

So this means that [if you have 1000+ Starpoints, if you don't have 1000+ starpoints yet I'll do a little caculation for you too] you can reach your starpoint goals as little as a month and a half.

Now for you guys with less than 1000 starpoints.

Until you reach 1000 starpoints you get gifts for every 100 points. So it shouldn't take you long to reach 1000.

You could earn 108 starpoints in 9 days. Yes I said nine. If you get the maximum number. each day.

Now lets say you get 7 starpoints each day, yes it's not a lot but it is about the average number.  You could get 49 in one week so in 9 days you could get 63 starpoints so in a month you could get 210. Yes I know it's not a lot compared to 12 but it's the average number.

And for you that don't know what I'm talking about or confused...

Here's a little key to understand the math equations

12 is the maximum number of starpoints you can earn per day.
7 is all of the days of the week
Now take a calculator or pencil and paper and listen.
7x12 is 84.
Ok so now we've got 84.
Now let's say we want to calculate how many starpoints we can get in a month[using the maximum number,12]
So let's say there is 30 days in a month we calculate 12x30 what do we have?
We have the number 360, if there is 31 days in a month simply add 12 to 360 and you have 372.
So now you catch my drift?

( Update: 9/20/12: I did an up-to-date post like this to fit Stardoll's new starpoint system. click here to check it out, it's a lot more relevant. ) 

Frequently Asked Questions

Hello,

So during my time on Stardoll I have been asked questions, everybody has. Some of the questions that people ask me on Stardoll have made me think, while other times it's nothing special.

You may be thinking why are you posting answers on your blog instead of on your Formspring? It's because some people don't know I have a formspring account so they tend to ask me in my Guestbook.

Anyway let the questions begin !

[Note that I do these in order, Youtube Questions first ,then blog questions then Stardoll Questions =D]

Youtube Questions

How long does it take to film/edit your Youtube Tutorials?

Good Question! Usually filming doesn't take very long unless it's detailed eyeshadow or something that's simple. But if it's something that requires a lot blending and mixing[which is taking two eye shadows and mixing them together to make a color that you don't have.] It usually takes a good 15-30 minutes. I try my best to film the makeup look to perfection, so sometimes there is a stumble.

As for the editing it doesn't take long unless I have multiple looks. Then it takes a while.

Subtitles are pretty tricky, but I find a way to make them easier, although it is kinda hard to pinpoint the exact timing.

What inspired you to make Youtube Tutorials

Well one day I was looking around for Stardoll Makeup tutorials on Youtube and I ran across Lel1996's channel. I was stunned on how amazing her tutorials were[and they still are amazing] and it inspired me so much that I decided to make some of my own.

At the time I didn't have Hypercam so I used my camera and since I didn't have Windows Movie maker or note pad I used Microsoft word. Since I didn't have a lot of makeup I went to random peoples Medoll's and played around a bit before I got a makeup look I liked.

If you ever did a collab with another Stardoll makeup artist, who would that artist be?

Either Lel1996,StardollConfidential,or Missclaire1994x. All 3 have such amazing tutorials that I would love to do a collab with them. Although I'm pretty sure they are all busy with school ATCM[at the current moment] that I'll wait until summer before I even bring up the question.

Why don't you make Suite Makeovers?

I don't know basically because I prefer using Tinypic on someone Else's doll. Although in the near future I may hold a comp in order to win a suite makeover.

Blog Questions

I heard you made a Stardoll blog in November 2010, but didn't post until January 9th 2011. What made you post again?

On January 9th was a very boring day. Since it was a Sunday[and I usually spend most of my Sundays with my cousin] and my cousin was out of town. I had nothing to do.

I was looking around for January Hotbuys on Google Images then I ran into Lel1996's blog, I loved her point of view on her rants[and I still do] and thought 'Since I have a blog why don't I do that too!' and so I posted.

I remember the first rant I posted was "My Review on the freebies that stardoll gives us every time we reach __ members".

Back in the early days of this blog you had writers. What ever happened to them and will they return?

Back in February Ruby,Charmane and Liberty told me they wanted to quit because the blog didn't have hardly any followers, and then they left. I was the only determined to make this blog successful and so far I've done pretty good 8 followers is good enough for me.

As for them returning there is about a 5% chance. Charmane was supposed to return in the summer but she decided not to.

How many posts do you post a day.

Maybe 3 or 4, depending on what mood I'm in and what there is to post about.

Stardoll Questions

Why are you not answering me in chat?

After a past experince I had with chat I don't use it anymore.

What do you do while you are logged into stardoll?
Usually I dress up my medoll, post in clubs, do my play and earn, update my album, and sometimes I make a scenery.

Obsessed with Virtual Popularity?

Hello,

So recently I checked into Original Club, and spotted a topic that got me thinking.

I see this a lot in clubs such as Fashion Club,MSW, and so on. But the thing that questions me is why do people care so much for Virtual Popularity?

Yes I guess it's nice to have a lot of friends or to have your username bowed down by other users, but besides that, what more is there to it? I don't think there is anything more.

I wonder why this stuff gets to our heads, I mean after all it is Virtual! If it was in real life there would probably be  more meanings but this is a website we're talking about!

This also goes for when people say "Please vote me covergirl! It's my dream!"

Who dreams about being Covergirl on Stardoll. No one. Not one person on Stardoll actually dreams about being Covergirl or National Covergirl. It's a saying, that maybe worked a long time ago but it doesn't now. Due to the fact that it's now over used [in my opinion]

There are more ways  to try to be classified as a 'Popular' such as having a whole room stacked with LE, DKNY, Hotbuys or all 3. Then having a bunch of people comment in your Guestbook saying " I wish I was like you!"

Same goes for when you make a doll with the title "All my Hotbuys and Rares" you know that someone is gonna comment on it[sooner or later] saying "Nice collection! I wish I had all of those clothes!"

This song really describes the situation I'm talking about:

[Famous  by Play]

Anyway it really amazes me how much Stardoll users strive for attention. Actually in one point or another in our membership on Stardoll we've all thought about Virtually Popular, it's givin.
