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]  

New Starblog Post..? :]

I submitted it for consideration, so if Stardoll likes it you might just be featured on the Star Blog! :] 

Congratulations guys! 

By the way, this is idea #2. 

I hope they post it! I don't know what's happening with the Star Blog currently, but it's been weird. They haven't actually posted anything user made in like a week. Oh well, hopefully we'll get lucky! :]

Looking for Star Blog Models

So I've noticed that Stardoll seems to like posts that feature other members. I'm going to add an opportunity page to this blog with some ideas of what I'm looking for. 

In order to be featured I need your permission (Well, I want your permission), and to let you know that there are nasty trolls out there who are not afraid to eat you alive... x| 

Here's what I'll be asking for: 

Username: 

Idea number:   

Tinypic link: 

Reason why you'd like to be featured: 

If you apply, you have to promise not to get angry if you are not chosen to be featured, or if Stardoll doesn't add the post. I will let you know if you're chosen. If the whole form isn't completed, I won't be able to feature you.

Blended Makeup Tutorial

As you may have noticed Stardoll hasn't posted anything of mine recently. I'm just hoping for this post to make it. :3

Stardoll Published My Post About the Family

You know what that means, right? 

It means that Stardoll isn't completely heartless. 

This may have been my third time trying to post about something important, such as Endangered Species and bullying. It's just really nice to know. 

Some added information about the family~ 

I didn't mention that the 11 year old boy is handicapped, I had to keep my post somewhat concise. People would have bored out of their minds if not. We turned in all the toys and clothing and makeup, etc. in today to the warehouse that will deliver it to our family. 

~To those who don't understand why I submitted this article to Stardoll

It was not because I was greedy, or because I wanted the attention. It's because I wanted to prove that anyone can make a difference. I wanted to remind people of what is truly important.

The Joy of Giving (Sneak Peak.. Maybe)

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to tell you about some great opportunities. Stardoll has been supporting Human Rights Day with their quiz.  They have also been supporting the Beatbullying campaign, to stop bullying. The first thing you can do is write your thoughts on bullying in your own post to submit on the Contests page. Then you can maybe think about volunteering to help in your local city. 

This is what I did to help:

Me and a group of friends signed up to help bring Christmas to a family who otherwise would not have it this year. The organization provided us with a choice of family size and need level. A few days later they wrote back with information on our family. It turns out that the family my friends and I were given, have 2 young boys, they’re 10 and 11, a father who just lost his job, and a mother who is really sick. We were determined to give them the best Christmas possible. We raised $200 and went on a group shopping trip. We were told that the boys like the popular Transformers toys, the mom would like some makeup, and the father wanted nothing, just Christmas. We did the best we could to supply them with a great Christmas. I hope their Christmas will be spectacular.

I just would like to encourage all of you to all do something charitable this holiday season. Not everyone is so lucky as all of us. We all have computers, and food on our tables, and I know that sometimes -- Well often – I’m forgetful of how truly fortunate I am. So just please, think of those in need this holiday season. Also please share how you have helped, or plan to help in the comments section.

I really want Stardoll to post this, it seems that all my other posts were kinda, well unimportant. 

I've submitted a few other posts they haven't uploaded. For example my post about Endangered Species, and bullying. I need a 'Christmas Miracle'. Even though... I don't even celebrate Christmas. Oh well, all I want is the less-fortanate to have a good holiday. The Stardoll team have their idea of what they wish to post, and I have my own. I just hope the match up. 

December Holidays

Christmas

Hanukkah 

Kwanzaa 

*Winter *

(for non religious people/ religions without a december holiday/ races without a december holiday/ atheists/ etc. )

Starry Night Makeup

Step One 

Choose a hair style that covers one of the eyes. Add green mascaras. Use blue eyeshadow all over the eyelid except for the inner corners. Then use the dark green and highlight over the blue just a little bit. Add some yellow in the inner corners, and blend it over the green. Apply lime green on top of where you blended the yellow and re-go over it in yellow. When your done it should come out looking really blended and nice. 

Step Two 

Use green liquid liner in the inner corners. Use purpley-blue liquid liner in the outer. Use yellow pencil in the inner corners and blue on the outside then blend the green in the center over the blue. When your done you can add a neutral color blush. I wouldn't suggest using any lip colors or gloss because it takes away from the eyes.

Step Three

Add accessories any way you'd like. Also feel free to change up the makeup how you please. Be original and yourself.

Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night 

(One of my absolute favorite paintings) 

Van Gogh has been one of my all time favorite artists since like the 3rd grade (So quite some time ago. I'm in 9th now) when we had to paint this beautiful masterpiece in my art class. I gotta say, mine came out pretty well. I wish I knew where it was still. Some thing about it just feels magical-- I'm pretty sure it's the sky. 

Star Blog

I'm freaking out here! They posted it! :D 

Stardoll Posted it! 

It's 12:42 am currently, so I need to sleep. But this is certainly very exciting news for me. :D 

-Sabrina (Sabra4390)

P.S. @ New visitors, I would suggest visiting the labels thingymabob on the sidebar. I don't really have anything any of you are probably interested in looking at on the first page. I've gotten lazy. I would suggest the label Makeup or Color Week. (Color week turned out pretty well). Feel free to comment, or suggest anything, I also take requests. So um yeah. 

Also, please ignore the spelling mistakes etc on the Starblog post. I know there are a few. I resubmitted an updated post which doesn't make me look uneducated. Stardoll just happened to post the first one. Oh well. Please forgive me, I'm new at this. 

Leopard Print Eyes

Ok, as some of you might know, I asked Stardoll about becoming a Starblogger and their response was a 30 day trial. I submitted this a few minutes ago as a post. So you hopefully will be seeing this again soon on the Starblog. Wish me luck. :]

Sorry for the words being somewhat fuzzy, but there you go. :] 

Also the enlarged picture of the eyes got somewhat messed up..? Oh well. :\ 

Grrr.. I also made quite a few spelling and grammatical errors. D: 

Now when it's posted I'm going to look like an illiterate. I hate autocorrect. >:[
