What is the value of Stardollar?

   I have always been curious about what the value of a Stardollar really is and today I decided to do a little math. In this post I'll explain how much a Stardollar is worth in real money and help you figure out how much your next purchase is really going to cost you. This is an easy way to save your money and make wiser choices when it comes to shopping with "virtual" dollars.

  If you don't buy Stardollars using American dollars, you can translate these amounts to your form of currency using this safe online currency converter: click here.

  The answer to "What is the value of a Stardollar" doesn't have just one answer. Because we can purchase Stardollars in a lot of different ways, the value varies. This means, there is a best way to buy Stardollars. If you pick the right way, you can get more Stardollars at a cheaper price. The values below may seem about the same, but when you start adding up your purchases, even a few tenths of a cent can make a big difference. If it doesn't make sense right now, it will soon, I promise.

The offers above are for when you buy Stardollars only. If you're interested in finding out the value of a Stardollar when you buy Superstar + Stardollars, tell me in the comments.

  To find out the actual cost in real dollars of your next purchase, use this simple formula below. Remember to use the value of 1sd that corresponds with the way you bought your Stardollars. If you don't know how you bought your Stardollars or you got them for free, use the average value of 1sd instead. 

Value of 1sd x Cost of items in Stardollars = Real dollar amount

Example: $0.0285 x 14sd = $0.40

  Let's take a look at the cost of this item in real dollars, using the different values of 1 Stardollar. This is what I was talking about earlier. Even though the values look very similar, they can make a big difference on the actual cost of an item.

If you have any questions, let me know in the comments. I'd be happy to answer them.

Barbie 50th Anniversary Dress on Stardoll

  In 2009, Mattel celebrated the Barbie 50th Anniversary. Stardoll joined in this celebration, by offering this gorgeous dress as a free gift. For a limited time over 4 years ago, any member could watch a short video and this dress would appear in their Stardoll suite. With an original cost of zero Stardollars, you'd assume this item wouldn't be worth very much, but you'd be wrong.

 With over 4 years of added value, this dress is nearly priceless. I personally own the 50th anniversary Barbie shown left and it's always been a dream of mine to own the 50th anniversary dress on Stardoll too. Since my current Stardoll account wasn't created until 2010, I can't own this dress for free. If I can hunt this dress down, it will cost me a pretty penny.
  I'm almost positive this dress is worth the maximum value Stardoll allows, which is 600 stardollars. If you translate this cost to real american dollars, this means the virtual Barbie 50th anniversary dress is worth approximately $17.00 dollars.

  If you or anyone you know owns a Barbie 50th anniversary dress, please contact E-mazing on Stardoll.
  I would love to talk to this person about the dress. I might be interested in doing an interview and photo shoot in the dress for this Stardoll blog. I also would like to find out what they think the value of this dress is or if this person is willing to sell. Like I said, owning this dress is a dream of mine. I think this beautiful dress is one of Stardoll's forgotten gems to most people, but it's front and center in my mind.

About the Stardoll Mystery Symbol - Part 3

About the Stardoll Mystery Symbol

  Here are some myths you may have heard about the Stardoll Mystery Symbol.

  • Myth - You need to join a club or vote someone 5/5 to make the symbol appear.

  • Reality - You don't need to do anything to make the symbol appear. It will appear on it's own. Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise.

  • Myth - The symbol stays in the same place.

  • Reality - The symbol's location is random and constantly changing. If someone finds the symbol on a certain page, you won't find it there too, even if it's within the same hour.

  Now, here are the 3 Most Important Facts about the Stardoll Mystery Symbol.

1. The symbol can be found at the bottom of any page, under the Stardoll logo and the Google +1 button.
2. The symbol looks like a hot pink makeup bag with lipstick and mascara poking out the top. Shown above to the left.
3. When you find the symbol you unlock an achievement called "THE NET" and earn 15 starpoints. Shown to the right.

Stardoll during the Holidays

   First off, I want to wish my readers a Happy Holidays! Whatever you're celebrating this season, I hope you have lots of fun. In the spirit of all things worth celebrating, this post is going to go over a quick list of things Stardoll is currently offering during the Holidays. Think of these things as inspiration. Maybe you can include similar ideas in your clubs or stardoll blogs.

• Snow - Stardoll has sprinkled some snow at the top of the pages, as shown in the photo above. I think this is absolutely adorable. I suggest considering adding snow to your clubs/blogs for the holidays. It's a little thing that goes a long way on the cuteness.
• Hot Hot Buys Calender - Although the month is half way over, it's not too late to get in on some special items. A new item is released every day this month and you must buy it fast, because after a day it's gone again.  This could be a good inspiration for some kind of quick contest or special raffle, if you're feeling generous. Click this sentence to visit the Hot Hot Buys Calender.

• Shops in Starplaza - These are some of the shops that have new items out for the holidays: PopShop, Bonjour Bizou, Tis the Season, Polished and Pet-a-Porters. Click this sentence to visit the Starplaza and check out the wonderful decor, fashion and beauty products. Creating stardesign items during the holidays is a great idea. You're more likely to make sales since everyone's getting superstar cards for the holidays. That means extra spending money!

• Holiday Pass - This is a great deal on 8 weeks of superstar membership, 350 stardollars, 350 starcoins and 13 special gifts for just $10. This is a special deal, because usually for $10 you only get about 6 weeks of superstar, 300 stardollars and 4 gifts. In the spirit of Christmas, a good idea might be to lower your prizes on items in Bazaar. You it to your advantage when advertising. Click this sentence to visit or buy the Holiday Pass.

Happy Holidays!

About the Suite Update (Positives vs Negative

   In case you haven't noticed, there's an update in your Stardoll Suite. It looks a little different, but don't panic. Everything is still there, you just access it a little different.
   I've been playing around with some of the features and I've made a list. Take a look and decide if you agree with me.

Positive changes:
• Since we removed "My Suite" from being automatically shown, the sidebar is less distracting.
• We can now view all of a person's suite rooms at once, instead of scrolling through them right and left.
• The camera is easier to exit, because instead of pushing the "X", you can click anywhere outside the camera.
• The camera's special effects are easier to access.
• The camera, save doll, recycle and full screen buttons are now labeled.

Negative changes:
• The camera doesn't appear to zoom anymore, which makes taking the picture you want a little harder.
• You can't access your suite as easily, you have to click the suite button first.
• Since the "My Suite" is not shown automatically, visitors are less likely to visit other rooms.

   As you can see, there are more positives then negatives in my opinion. This update is really nice. I think it's overall less distracting and more mature. Share your opinion in the comments, especially if you find the zoom feature on the camera!

How to make a Tribute Medoll

  Making a Tribute medoll is one of the sweetest things you can do. It shows that you are inspiring and dedicated to a cause. If you make a wonderful Tribute Medoll, you can get a lot of great feedback. Although, if you make a Tribute Medoll incorrectly, you might offend people. That's why I'd like to take the time to make this post.
 
  Let's start off with the Tribute Medoll ideas.

  Serious Tribute Ideas:

• Cancer is one of the most touching and common Tribute medolls you can pick. This kind of doll usually displays a head without any hair. 
• War is another really supportive Tribute medoll. This doll usually shows a uniform and your countries flag.
• Anti-Racism is a really tough Tribute idea to pull off. It usually displays a doll with a different skin color then you usually pick for you doll.
• Self Love would be a wonderful Tribute idea. It could include an inspiring message to others.

  Light Hearted Tribute Ideas:

• Celebrity is a really fun Tribute idea. They usually look similar to the real person and display why this celebrity is important to you.
• Fictional Character can be another hard one, especially if the book hasn't been turned into a movie. Use your imagination and use props to make this doll easy to recognize. 
• If you have any more ideas for Tribute Medolls, please post them in the comments. Please and thank you!

  Steps to a Successful Tribute Medoll

 

1. Pick a Tribute idea. When choosing your theme, be sure to consider difficulty and how much knowledge you have on this subject. If you can relate to it more, it might push you to make a better final product.
2. Do your research. This is important so that you get your facts right and don't offend anyone. It will also get you more excited about your cause and give you inspiration. Skipping this step may end badly.
3. Find some Reference Photos. Look online for photos relating your cause. Find some to model your doll after. It will help you to stay realistic and work for a better final product. As always, be careful when looking online. 
4. Build the Tribute Doll. A Tribute medoll should take more time then your usual medoll. Don't settle for good. Work until it's great, because it sends a stronger message. Also, remember to use your reference photos.
5. Set the Scene. If you enjoy going above and beyond, make a setting too. Decorate one of your rooms to fit your Tribute theme. Reference photos are more important then ever in this step. 
6. Write an Inspiring Message. It's always a good idea to explain your Tribute medoll. I suggest including your inspiring message in your presentation. You might include: personal experiences and famous quotes. Always remember to check your facts, so you're not giving people false information. Last but not least, stay positive.
7. Ask for Feedback. Once you've finished, ask your friends and family for feedback. It's a good idea to ask for feedback right away, so in case you've made a mistake, you can fix it before anyone is offended. As always, remember that criticism is a part of getting better. So make sure you can handle being critiqued, before you ask for people's opinions. People can say hurtful things, especially when they're talking about issues they're passionate about.

What is The Stardoll City?

   A few months ago, I posted about a mysterious photo by Stardoll Staff, depicting a city. We made guesses as to if it were real or not and now we know. It's real. Stardoll users just got this message in their inbox's giving us a heads up about updates coming soon, next week. 

   They say this update will make it "easier to find your way around." My theory is that the Stardoll City will be a site map, where we click on various buildings to visit places on Stardoll. I can't be for sure, but that's what I'm guessing. If I'm correct, then this update may be a step back in maturity, because other sites that function like this are Polly Pocket.com and Barbie.com. 

Above is a photo of the Stardoll City, previously featured in another post.

If you have any ideas about what the Stardoll City really is, share them in the comments.

Winning National Covergirl - My Experience

You log on everyday to see there is a new Covergirl, and for your country, a National Covergirl. Every Stardoll user dreams of the day they win one of these, but you really never thought it could happen.

Today, I won.

I woke up, and went to school like every other day. When I came home, I logged on to Stardoll like I do pretty  much everyday. This is what I saw:

There I was, on the front page of Stardoll. When I saw it, I honestly had to refresh the page, and when it was still there, I seriously thought Stardoll was broken. The thing is, I never ran for anything. I had 400sc and 4 stardollars, not even enough to send one broadcast.
Canada is the second largest country in the world. How could it have been me?


I'm sorry, I honestly have no tips considering there is nothing I did any differently when I won this, but this is just a reminder to EVERYONE that you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on Stardoll. Just keep playing and honestly, one day your dreams might come true like mine. (:


Good luck to everyone!

Interview with MSW 2013 6th Place Finisher: Good-Bye-x

   Today, I'm sharing with you an interview with one of this year's MSW 2013 finalists. It's never to early to start preparing for next years Miss Stardoll World competition, so study these words of advice from...

Good-Bye-x

6th Place in MSW 2013

Interview Below

Q: How many times had you entered MSW before you made the finals in 2013 and how did your experience help you this year? 
A: The first year of MSW I wanted to participate, but I don't even have reached the semi-finals. So I skipped the next years. And this summer, when the new season started, I thought " Why not? ".

Q: How important is broadcasting for your campaign and how many Stardollars did you spend? 

A: For my campaign, I have used broadcasting to a single moment: the first round. I sent messages for 1485 SD . To have the money, I sold a lot of LE. Then, for the semi-final and final, it was me who made my own campaign. Several days a week, I went in several suites to send message in guestbooks . It's certain that broadcasting is very essential and useful in this competition. But if you do not have the money, you should search for another solution.

Q: How will you improve your campaign for next year's MSW? 

A: This MSW season taught me a lot in terms of communication to adopt . So to improve my campaign next year , I intend to organize myself better and use more broadcasting . But for that, I should to save SD!

Q: What advice do you have for future participants of MSW? 

A: Be original and don't expect people to come you vote by themselves. It takes some time and energy if you want to go far in the competition. As in any contest.

Q: What is the most important thing to include in your campaign?

A: The most important thing to include in my campaign was the communication plan. If you want to be voted, you should be known and that's why it is necessary to talk to people.

Q: Do you think all styles of medolls have an equal chance of winning MSW and how would you describe your style?

A: Each person has their own style and each doll is a reflection of this style. This is a good thing, because a rich world is a world of diversity. The problem is that most people don't like what is out of the ordinary . It's for this reason that the winners of MSW seems be the same year after year... too bad.

Q: How do you spend your time on Stardoll?

A: I spend a lot of time on Stardoll, too much time. The minutes passed, then hours...

Q: What Stardoll skill do you feel most knowledgeable about and what advice do you have for others who practice it?

A: I can't rate myself, but if I think about it, I had a lot of compliments for my album. So with the voice of the people: my album lol. Otherwise, it's pretty hard to give advice about how to practice because we practice with what we have in our head. There is no manual.

Q: Who inspires you and what important message have they taught you?

A: When I was little, I watched a lot of movies full of magic (especially Harry Potter!), I was fascinated and I dreamed of being one of those characters. Growing up, this desire has never left me. So I felt obliged to use magic to create certain suites. What important message have they taught? It makes us aware of the beauty of things. It makes our hearts better.

Q: Any final advice for Stardoll users? 

A: The only advice that seems essential to me: Do not be followers, be actors! Build up your own personality. No longer follow the mass . Be unique.

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! 

Thank you for reading!

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.

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!

• 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 (:
