Star Blog

A very popular discussion topic at this moment.

What is a Starblogger? A Starblogger is someone who is lucky enough to have the opportunity to write for the Stardoll based blog, the Star Blog.

How do you become one? Simple answer, you ask. When I applied I simply sent them a paragraph asking if I could be a Starblogger, I proof read it a few times, and submitted it along with a link to this blog.

Is it all that worth it? Well, umm... no, not necessarily.

Positives:
-Getting to post on the Star Blog (Not necessarily something you agree with, or your own personal idea, but a post. Your post) 
-Lots of friend requests to earn your daily starcoins with.
-Some really genuinely nice guestbook comments.
-Popularity

Negatives:
-Popularity
-Hate, lots of it.
-A feeling or guilt and/or regret.
-A billion guestbook comments to answer (It's not as much fun as you think).
-A thousand more people on chat who want to talk to you more than anything in the world.
-Fake friends. The ones who add you as friends and stick you on their best friends list like some sort of trophy.

If you're like me and don't always deal with negatives well; side effects may include:
-Mood swings
-Uncontrollable swearing
-A bruised up 11 year old brother. (Just because everything a little brother says to you gets to you that much more when you're upset.)

Long Term Effects:
-Addiction
-A feeling of superiority-- until you realize that once you log off the computer you go back to your boring life.

Becoming a Starblogger is like running for US President, everyone who's running is isn't qualified, and everyone who is doesn't want the job. Do I necessarily think I'm a great writer, no. Absolutely not. I am the worst story teller in the world you can ask any of my friends. Do I post what Stardoll wants to see, yes. They want you to feature members, they want makeup looks, tutorials. It's a space of consumption.
~ A term I learned in my AP Human Geography class, it simply means that the it's used for comercial purposes, to advertise Stardoll. It's not a place for your own personal thoughts and opinions. Those belong elsewhere. It's a place of business. You have to maintain your business-like image while on the job.

You don't bite the person that feeds you.

This is absolutely not ok.

The number one reason why I was against featuring other members is because of the feedback. 

IT IS NEVER OK TO CALL ANYONE UGLY! 

Online or offline. 

I was in such a great mood until I got home and logged on to my computer, in fact I found out I was going to be asked out-- by RON WEASLEY! I was ecstatic. If I'm dating Ron Weasley that would make me Hermione Granger. But, thats not the point. Some people don't understand how words can truly effect someone. I was in a great mood, and it was suddenly turned terrible. 

How would you feel if I featured you and you got all these negative comments? 

Think about it, and reevaluate your opinion. 

What if it was you? 

DONT BE A BULLY

Edit: Just to make things clear; His name isn't actually Ron Weasley, I just call him that because he looks just like Ron Weasley-- just clearing things up.
Edit #2: Hehe, he asked me out today, I'm officially Hermione Granger. x]  

The Secret Behind the Word 'Elite'

(Copied and pasted straight from dictionary.com) 

So, there you go, the definition of Elite. 

Do I like the term, no. I honestly hate it as much as the word 'Noob' 

Who created this class difference? Who decides who belongs where? Your peers. They decide. 

  Being an Elite. 

If you say you're elite, you consider yourself to be better than others, you act superior. (A pet-peeve of mine) Who died and made you queen? Are we back to the dark ages here? We have classes. We don't have classes, only those who see it that way do. Just remember ~

It doesn't matter how you style your doll, the way your suite looks, or your presentation. All that matters is how you act towards others. Keep that in your mind forever, and stay gold. The true 'Elite'* is someone who is nice to everyone around them no matter their appearance. 

*Note: I myself do not recognize 'Elite' as a status symbol.
