Interview With Canadian MSW Finalist maddie13real!

So, everyone knows MSW ended recently, and congratulations to the winner! Winning MSW is a HUGE deal, but so is being a FINALIST! Here we meet a girl who worked her BUTT off for what she wanted, and TOTALLY deserves that crown! I hope you enjoy seeing MSW Competition from a finalists eyes!

Q: What made you want to become MSW?

My reason for wanting to become MSW is because of how far and improved my doll had become. Throughout the summer I really have improved on my doll and suite tremendously and I FINALLY started to win Nation Covergirl. From there I thought I would have a pretty good chance at winning MSW (through all the lovely comments from very lovely people c; :*).

Q: How did you feel when you got into the Semi Finals/ Finals?

I was so overcome with emotions when finding out! I then realized that I have come such a long way from when I started, never would I have thought I could get this far!

Q: How much, in your opinion would it cost to get into the MSW Finals?

I would say a lot stardollars which would go for buying new clothes for running and broadcasting.

Q: Would you run again next year? What would you do differently and the same?

Yes I would probably run again next year. What I would do differently is to become more organized with my time for running and I would defiantly keep broadcasting which really does help a lot.

Q: What do you think a page needs to become MSW worthy?

Well other than the MSW requirements, a nice doll, suite, and clothes, I would say to be persistent. Even though you notice that not many people are coming to your suite, you have to remember that eventually you will start to get more votes, visitors, and supporters. when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Q: What is some advice you would give to someone trying to run for MSW?

As I said before, be persistent when when the situation becomes difficult, the strong will work harder to meet the challenge. Also look inspiration to incorporate within your look, suite, clothes, presentation etc. It will most defiantly help you develop your creativity.




Thank you to maddie13real for having an interview! Good luck to her next year!

A Guide to Reporting and False Reporting

   The ability to report other Stardoll users is a wonderful way to keep Stardoll a safe online community, but it's a little more complicated then you might think. Today I'm going to discuss something very important you should know about the Reporting feature, it's called: False Reporting. I hope you read closely, because this is very important.

The Basics

   You can find the Reporting button on almost every page throughout Stardoll. Look for the symbol when you see behavior breaking Stardoll Rules. A pop up window will guide you through the reporting process.

    Below are the Stardoll ONE STOP RULES taken directly from the Help page:

"When you are at Stardoll you must NOT: 

- Swear, use sexually graphic terms or make racist remarks.
- Bully other Stardolls or in other ways make them feel uncomfortable.
- Ask other Stardolls for personal information (or give out your own) such as (but not limited to) password, email, name on Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram or similar.
- Post external links (such as photos, videos, chat rooms etc).
- Make private deals to trade items, trade/sell/buy accounts or sell items for more than the limit of 600 Stardollars.
- Type your password anywhere except in the log in box on Stardoll.com or change your email to any email address that does not belong to you.
- Break the law at Stardoll or talk others into breaking it.
- Claim you belong to the Stardoll Staff. There is no employee code so, do not ask for or claim to have one.
- Create or design items that may be offensive to others, including (but not limited to) smoking, weapons and drugs.

Breaking any or more of the ONE-STOP-rules will result in the closure of your membership with no chance of refund."

   Reporting Tips

1. Read the ONE STOP RULES on the Stardoll Help page before making any report. You must be educated so that you are better aware of the actions of others and yourself. This will prevent you from making false reports and from accidentally breaking Stardoll rules. 
2. Only make reports when you have Proof. That means reporting crimes directly and not reporting people just because someone asks you too. 
3. Count to Ten before Reporting. Be sure that you're not angry or upset when you report someone. Never leave Stardoll a frantic, scrambled or immature comment included with the report. It will make your report less credible. 

All about False Reporting

   Stardoll says, "Making false reports or any other abuse of this function may result in termination of your account." Staff is very serious about this, so be 100% positive that what you are reporting is breaking Stardoll rules. You must report the crime directly. That means if someone asks for your password in chat, you must report that user in the chat window. If you report the user in her suite, there is no proof of a crime and therefore it may be considered a false report. 

Conclusion: A false report includes any report without direct proof, so report the crime directly or your account could be terminated.

   On the topic of false reporting, I want to bring up a popular way of getting revenge and justice. Although it seems good in theory, it's not always effective or safe. You may know of this as "Report lists", "Hacker lists" or something similar. Basically, a report list is any list of 1 or more Stardoll users who should be reported. Usually the creator of these lists tells everyone to report the people listed. It seems a harmless way of giving these accused hackers and rule breakers what they deserve, but here are some reasons it's a bad idea.

• There is no proof that a person on the list deserves to be reported. You are just taking the word of a random person online, which means you don't know if it's true, so you could be reporting an innocent person.
• If you report the person on the list without proof (aka you're not reporting a direct crime), then you're false reporting. Therefore, you're putting your own account at risk of being terminated. 
• If the report list is posted on Stardoll and it includes links to proof, then the list itself is breaking Stardoll rules by posting external links. Which means the creator of the list doesn't understand the Stardoll Rules them-self and probably shouldn't be taken seriously. 

   Conclusion: Do not report a Stardoll user just because you're told to. It's false reporting and could put your account at risk!

Scenery Tips and Tricks ft. ZendayaLovesMe

Click here to visit ZendayaLovesMe on Stardoll

Q: When did you start making sceneries and how have you improved since you started them?
A: I started making sceneries when I started Stardoll back in May 2012, and I think I really improved on my sceneries. I found out a secret to making sceneries on Stardoll with someone facing the other direction too.

Q: Where do you find inspiration for new scenery ideas?
A: I found my inspiration for all of my sceneries by other Stardolls, images from Google, and from some sceneries in real life.

Q: What common mistake do you see people make when creating sceneries?
A: I've seen these in a lot of sceneries. Sometimes when they add speech bubbles they forget to type in them, or they put dolls in but forget the shoes.

Q: How do you make a scenery eye-catching?
A: I don't really need to make my sceneries eye-catching. Because not everybody is perfect. Some people stress out if they do something wrong in a scenery. But its not the end of the world if you don't get something right.

Q: What is your favorite color palette to use in sceneries?
A: There isn't just a specific color I use in my sceneries. I use rainbow which means different types of colors.

Q: How do you summarize the steps to making a posed medoll in a scenery?
A: Step 1 : Fill the background with a piece of furniture like the sky. 
Step 2 : Place your medoll twice. 
Step 3 : Cover up the other part of the medoll like the body and head and hair except the arm (or legs) 
Step 4 : Add clothes and if it shows one of the shoes in outer space cover it up with the same background you used. Those are the simple steps on making your medoll pose on a Catwalk, runaway or other places like a red carpet event.

Q: What is your secret to making sceneries?
A: I use horse hair to make the doll be turned around looking at beautiful season 
sceneries out of a window. This is how you get the horse hair. 
Step #1 : Go to decor. 
Step #2 Scroll down and click Animals. 
Step #3 Click accesories. 
Step #4 : Scroll and then you will see a brown colored horse tail and a white colored one. Buy either one of them to make a doll turned around in a scenery. You can also make that with a boy turned around by rotating the hair and making it faced up.

Q: Who is your favorite celeb to use in sceneries?

A: I would have to say probably Nicki Minaj because I like rap, or maybe Jennifer Lopez because of her pretty outfits and interesting movies.

Q: What kind of medoll is easiest to make a posed medoll with?

A: I would have to say myself, or a famous doll like my friend starlily29 or CrystalsJoy.

Q: Do you have any final advice for scenery makers?

A: Yes I do, if you make a mistake its not the end of the world. Because everybody makes mistakes. Including me and everybody else in the world. We all make mistakes.

I hope you can use her answers to help you with making sceneries in the future.

How to: Create a Sophisticated Medoll Successfully

Polincik

A.n.k.s.a.

   To create a sophisticated medoll, you don't need to be grown up or even a serious person. The definition of sophisticated is: developed to a high degree of complexity. If you examine these medolls, you'll notice that each involves a variety of colors, patterns and fabrics. Based on these pictures and the definition of sophisticated, I have come up with some helpful tips to creating sophisticated medolls!

xXEwelina1996Xx

--kayley

• Colors- A sophisticated medoll can be created using almost any colors, but the brighter and more cartoonish you make the colors, the more difficult the look is to pull off. If you want to make it easier for yourself, use colors similar to those shown in these photos. Use a variety of colors that are close on the color wheel. 

• Patterns- A sophisticated medoll should include solid colors or simple patterns like plaid, stripes or polka dots. Use a variety of different patterns for the best effect and avoid graphics and text, especially in bright colors. In the end, you can use anything you want, just tread carefully. Use the patterns on the medolls shown as your guide.

• Fabrics- A sophisticated medoll could be made using any fabric, but like I said about colors, there are fabrics that make it harder to pull off. I think you should avoid spandex and other shiny fabrics. Use fabric with texture, like wool, lace or fur. Look at the photos shown for examples of texture in sophisticated medolls. 



   The overall idea that I'm trying to share with you, is that a sophisticated medoll needs to be complicated. The definition of complicated is: consisting of many interconnecting parts or elements. You can make it complicated by using many different colors, patterns and fabrics that all work together. It takes good taste and practice, but if you can find the harmony in the different elements, you will have mastered the key to creating a sophisticated medoll.

Oliver Syke's Drop Dead on Stardoll

   I've decided to start re-making Oliver Syke's Drop Dead fashion line on Stardoll. I know I am not the most best designer, but I am definitely trying my hardest. I don't know when the WHOLE fashion line will be available, but here are the items that are currently available for sale: 

   That's all that are available from Drop Dead now, but I do have a couple items on the waiting list.  I am making more, plus some of my own designs that you'll just have to wait and see. I will edit this one and make the colors correct and fix it up so it's more accurate. I mean, it IS only on the waiting list for a REASON. Here is a sneak peak:

   

Everything is priced at 15-25 stardollars. 

If I end up with extra clothes I WILL sell in starcoins.

Finishing Stardoll Academy ~ Tips To Completing The Last Task

Ever wondered what the last task of Stardoll Academy is, and what the reward for it is? Well, I recently finished, and I thought I'd share so you all knew what you were looking forward to c:

Here are the items you get:

 (there might be more, I kinda forgot)

 You also get 15 starpoints, as well as 10 stardollars.

The final tasks is to get 100 hearts on your yearbook (The 'get 15 hearts on your yearbook to complete this task' tasks don't count either. They're talking about 100 new  hearts.)

It's very hard. It took me about a month because I honestly gave up on it for quite a while.

ANYWAYS, If I just did what I've been doing recently, I probably could have finished it in about maybe a week or couple of days. WHO KNOWS.



Tips For Getting 100 Hearts To Finish Stardoll Academy

• Broadcast

You won't need to spend too many Stardollars to broadcast for people to heart your yearbook. Remember that tons of people will see it.

• Write In Guestbooks

Click people that are broadcasting and write in their guestbooks. People usually don't appreciate spam, so  write something nice about their suite in particular so they know that you actually do care. Also, if they're running for covergirl, rate them 5/5. Writing in popular clubs and dressup dolls help too/

• Ask Your Friends

Simply asking every friend that's online to heart your yearbook is probably the most effective. It gives you a way to discuss with them directly. So for say, in return for a heart you could vote them 5/5. It also makes it more personal. (:


That's about it. I hope you enjoyed (:

How Much Are Stardoll 'Special Offer' Items Really Worth?

You may have these items in your suite, or you may have seen them in someone else's. They have no price, it says 0 stardollars on it, and the brand is a purple star that says 'Special Offer'.

(Enjoy that little GIF I made ^-^)

Buut- you can't buy these in Starplaza, and I don't think you can sell them in Starbazaar. The only way to get these items is to be on Stardoll for a certain promotion, earn them by playing other Stardoll apps (Cut-It, Fashion Spin, etc), or completing tasks. When you think about it.... These items are quite rare and valuable.

Here are just some of my Special Offer items:

In my opinion, these clothes aren't not fashionable. They look like the high-end items that no one would ACTUALLY wear, but they're 'fashion'. They look like brands like DKNY and other rare collections.

If the people of Stardoll were smart, they would treat these just like brands like DKNY and Chanel. Because they're such exclusive items, (especially some of the dresses on the bottom like the light blue one and the silver one, you had to buy 6 months of superstar to get those), they should be as valuable as rares, or even more valuable!

What do you think? Do you think they're valuable or just 'free items'?

I hope you enjoy this new store c:

Advice from Miss Stardoll World Semi-finalist: michellegaga97

Interview Below

Q: What did you learn from your 2012 campaign and how did it help you with your 2013 campaign?
A: "I am not sure it helped, crosses fingers."

Q: What should people be prepared for, before campaigning for MSW?
A: "That it is going to take a lot of your time, effort, and some stardollars could help with the process for advertising."

Q: How much money did you spend on Broadcasting and how important is Broadcasting for your campaign?
A: "I actually spent more this year than the previous year, around $800 stardollars. I am not sure how important broadcasting is though, in 2011 the 1st time I made it to the semifinals without much broadcasts (I really don't think I broadcasted, because I did not think I had a chance, I just kept voting for friends.)"

Q: What can people do to make their campaign stand out from the rest?
A: "I think just be yourself."

Q: Where do you get inspiration for your Medolls and how important is originality when campaigning?
A: "I think originality is important, ideas just pop in my head. Though, the statue of liberty idea came from the statue herself. I was just sitting here thinking, I am going to dress my doll like her."

Q: Is there a certain time during MSW that campaigning is most important and how do you prepare for that time?
A: "I think just being able to get your broadcasts through (if you had any) you would want to try to do it early in the MSW campaign."
Q: How do you keep from getting discouraged while Campaigning?
A: "All I can say is have a positive attitude."

Q: What celebrity or important public figure do you look up to and how have they inspired you?

A: "I do not really look up to celebrity's (my mom is my role model). But I do love Faith Hill & Tim McGraw, they have what it takes! I am inspired to be a friend, and treat others as you wish to be treated."

Q: If you don't win this year, will you campaign again next year?
A: "I would love to be a finalist this year, I collect carousel horses and felt like this is my year. In 2014, if I still love stardoll, of course I will try."

Q: What are the 3 most important things to remember for your Campaign?
A: "Time, effort, and lots of voting!"
