Stardoll History & Changes

Stardoll History & Changes!!

Stardoll was not always the huge fashion community that it is today. Actually, it wasn't always Stardoll. I always visited the site in 2006 to dress up dolls.

Here are some of the differences between the old and new Stardoll.

                                                                                 ♥Name,History and layout♥


Stardoll started out as Paperdoll Heaven in 2004. In 2004-2006 dress-up doll sites were EXTREMELY popular. Ads were everywhere for paperdoll dress-up sites, competing for the most popularity. There were no "members" on Paperdoll Heaven until 2006. Still, it was a small site where you could dress up and save dolls. Not your own, just celebrities. No superstar memberships, no currency. Yet. I was on Paperdoll Heaven frequently, dressing up my favorite dolls.



In March 2006, the name was changed from Paperdoll Heaven to Stardoll!

Stardoll created it's famous logo and started the community. Instead of your user information at the top, it was on the left side of the screen. Just signed in users were on the right side of the screen. You could create your own medoll, but the website was still centered around dressing up celebrities.



The layout had minor changes throughout the years, but the user info was still on the left and tabs still on the top. Then came this layout, which is VERY similar to the one we have now. You could now pick a starter doll.

Here's the current layout. Similar to the last one, but more purple and it has rounded edges instead of sharp square edges.

♥ Beauty Parlor ♥

This was the beauty parlor in 2006.

If you were a superstar it would look like this:

As you can see, it says "style medoll". That is like the beauty parlor to us.

It also only has stardollars. There were only stardollars on Stardoll until....late 2010 or early 2011. 

Since there were only stardollars, the way to tell if the item was for superstars or not, there was a star next to the price tag. Sadly, most items were for superstars. There was no way for regular members to buy items with a star on it. Except for one day.

A few days into your membership in 2010, there was this day called your "superstar day". You would become a superstar for one day. You recieved I think 20 stardollars to buy whatever you want. It doesn't seem like a lot, but items in starplaza were not very expensive, so 20 was a decent amount.

♥Other Changes ♥

There was only Stardesign Fashion in 2010.

Decorating and designing your album was SUPER popular.

There were no Royalty members until early 2012 I think.

No luxury suites such as Alpine Chalet and Beach Villa

I don't remember if starbazaar was there in 2010.

♥Well that's all for know♥
