July Hot Buys!


Hey guys! Stardoll has released the July Hot Buys, so that means it's time to find out... are they hot or not?

Tiger bodysuit: ok, seriously, my first reaction was to laugh! It's a ridiculous throwback to the 1980's and while retro is in... there's some things that should just never come back. The only thing saving this piece is the gold base color... such a hot summer color! 4/10

Pink hotpants: the thing with hotpants is, either you love 'em or you hate 'em. I'm not a fan, so I'm warning you right now, there's a bit of a bias here. The hot pink is a great color and if you like hotpants, I'm sure you'll like these. I know I won't be buying them, but I do love that color.... 6/10

Striped dress: so cute! I love it! I will so be buying this when it comes out. 10/10

Gold sandals: hmmm, I'll have to see this one on my medoll.... In the pic, it's hot. It's also a close up shot. So I'm not sure how it will translate to being on my doll. I guess I'll withhold final judgment until it's released. 8/10

Rock 'n Roll necklace: remember how I mentioned retro was in? It works here. I'm loving the record pendant, plus it's the perfect length to wear with a swim suit! Awesome! 9/10

Zebra playsuit: um... no! Playsuits work better if they're short, like romper style. Added to that, zebra print is like steak sauce, a little goes a long way. (haha, I'm so American.) 2/10

Purple tote: now that's what I'm talking about! Super cute and oh so beachy, it's perfect for a good summer-y look! I like it. A lot. 8/10

Purple sandals: they look like stuff we've seen before, just with a little more color. Tell me, stardoll, why should I pay way too much for these purple ones, when I can get them for a lot less in black? 5/10

Floppy hat: I think this one depends on the medoll. With the long haired model, it's kinda cute. I'd be curious to see how it looks on a short haired model. 7/10

Ruffle bikini: I am in love with this bikini. The ruffles make this look ultra sweet and the little bows on the sides? Darling! 10/10

Overall, the July Hot Buys faired better in the ratings than the June ones. The average rating this month is about an 8, compared to last month's 6.

Oh, just to warn you all, I won't be able to post for the next week and a half, so while I'm gone, Maddy's in charge!

See ya!

New Hair and backgrounds


I'm sure by now you've all heard about the 6 new hairs that Stardoll has kindly given us for our medolls. I'm actually wearing one of them :) 4 out of the 6 are completely hot! Love them to death! The other two, eh, not so much.

Are there any that you've fallen in love with? Personally, my favorite is the one I've got on my medoll right now... the shorter, slightly windswept look. It's actually pretty close to my hair in real life!

Also, in case you haven't noticed (though I don't know why you wouldn't have) I've changed the background for the blog. This may only be a temporary fix, but who knows! Besides, this is the only one I could find that I really liked... or wasn't already being used in one of the billions of blogs I follow. Nobody likes a copy-cat now do they?

Alright, that's all for now from me! Just a quick side note before I go, I'll be unable to post next week, so you'll have to get your Hot&Not fill from our other writers :)

Dress Challenge!


Hey guys!

Since we had a bunch of great comments about my last post, I've decided to make a challenge out of it! Here it is: using the one of the Bisou dresses that I last blogged about (the yellow or purple, your choice!), create a summer look for your medoll. Do whatever you like with it, glam it up, rock it out, or just keep it simple... you're free to do what you please!

Once you've made your look, save it in your album on stardoll and then message me to let me know you're done! I'll take a screen shoot of it and then post all the looks here in the blog. Then it's up to you to vote for your favorite.

Remember to comment here so I know who's planning to participate!

Ready? Good! Let's let the games begin.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii















Hiiiiiiiiii ( quoting the title)... Oh by the way if you're thinking "why the hell did she put such a stupid title?", its just because i cant think of anything clever to say.

Btw thanks so much to my fellow blogger bffsml for making my gorge and oh-so-vintage looking banner - its so nice i love it!

Just some small things...
Boys clothes - finally! i reckon stardoll have only just realised there are boys on stardoll.
I even bought a boys top they released - though i AM A GIRL lol ;) before any rumours spread. LOL
no its really gorgeous. Its pink - its called hawaiian top and it does not fit my doll -- arrrgh.
But wth.
Here is een picturetje (sorry i merge english with dutch alll thee tiiime - its my 1/4 dutchness rubbing off):



















Btw some lil glitches.
Red circled: high heels sign lol!!! For mens shoes.
THINK LOGICAL STARDOLL
Green circled: on the price tag - the two top ones are literally 'top' ones - where is the tiny lil top pic? If they can give men a high heels sign they can give them a girls top sign
And the bottom one is cus there is there are 4 item thingies and only 3 on him

And the big circles at the v v top are to show the fact that they are headless, beheaded, have the i-have-no-head disease - whatever u wanna call it.

Ok i gotta go my dad is moaning at me -
Cor (feeling english) - its 15 past midnight shoooot.

Gotta go before my dad murders me ;)

Which Dress?

Time to make yourself heard, blog readers! The two looks below are exactly the same except for one thing, a different colored dress. Both looks included a newly released Bisou dress (in yellow and purple), the Bisou heeled platform shoes in black, and the topaz necklace from Splendid.

Now it's time for you to decide! Which look do YOU think is Hot and which is Not? Or can you just not choose? Whatever you pick, tell us WHY you like it! We're eager to hear your opinion. And who knows? One lucky reader might just land a guest post....

Battle of the Trends


Ok so it's not nearly as epic as the title would suggest.... But I know we've got an opinionated crowd reading our blog, so I want your opinions!

Below are two pictures of the recent trends to invade stardoll. Retro Redux and In the Ocean.


I've put together some outfits from each group and now I want to hear from you. 

Which is your favorite trend and why? Do you like the blues and greens from In the Ocean or is vintage more your style? Let me know!

New doll glitch and more


















Hiiiii!!!!!! Sooo glad to be blogging again.
Really sad that Bonis gone - she was amazing for this blog and so was Katie - they started this off really well (btw is katie leaving?? im not sure).

Well ive got a mini glitch to tell you - not the most interesting thing in the world but still, here it is:
You know how they've got into a habit of giving the celebs lovely *cough* not *cough* white tshirts to wear under everything (but on top of underwear)?? Well Claire Holt's got that - but its different - it goes over everything - even hair!!





















Plus theres the free top for superstars in the starplaza thats meant to be a gift dress
*Pic taken from The Stardoll Insiders*












*Pic taken from The Stardoll Insiders*

New club is out!


Here it is: your official invite to the new official club of Hot and Not of Stardoll! I've now made the new club, remember, we'll still use the other club (SDHotandNot). This new club is just so that I can send hot topic messages and stuff like that! The new club is: HotandNotofSD

I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

June Hotbuys


The June Hotbuys are out! Below is my rating:

1. Pink blouse/jacket: the crop style is cute and I love the ruffled sleeves! My only thought is that it looks like it'll be difficult to pair this top with other items. 7/10

2. Purple skirt: it looks like a fish! Nice color though.... 3/10

3. Hot pink shoes: I love them! The wedge is totally hot for spring and summer and the color is so bright and eye-catching! But again, I don't what else they'll go with... 9/10

4. Pink/purple tube dress: yes, the draped look is in. Yes, the colors aren't complementary at all. No, I won't be buying it. 4/10

5. Hot pink bag: [has been released] I like the fact that it's bigger... almost a tote bag. But again, the color might prove problematic when it comes to pairing it with other items! 6/10

6. Bikini necklace: love it! Though I would love it more if it was a little shorter... 8/10

7. Watch: a watch? Yeah ok... I suppose it's cute, but I don't know how many people will buy something that small. 5/10

8. Floral dress: the floral print is a must for spring. And the fact that it's strapless? Even better. I'll be buying it! 9/10

9. "Darling" shirt dress: LOVE it! Comfortable but soo hot. 10/10

10. Floral skirt: there are times when floral is definitely a not.... I think my grandparents had a couch with that print.... 3/10

Final decision: 6/10. This month seemed to be pretty hit or miss. Some items were totally hot and some were definitely not

Well, what are your thoughts? Hot or Not?

Our Good Friend Boni


By now, I'm sure you've all seen that Boni has decided to leave stardoll and this blog. This was a hard decision for her and I'm sure it was even harder to go through with it. I know we'll all miss her! 

A couple more things before I go: 

1. Thank you, Boni, for starting this blog. It's been fun to get to know you even a little bit. Also, thank you for trusting me enough to let me take over the blog. I promise I'll keep it running and make it bigger and better than ever!

2. I know we have a club on stardoll already, but I'll be making a new one in a few days. This is just so I can keep you all updated on blog things by sending hot topics, etc. The old club will still be around, but so will a new one! I'll post here when it's created so you can all join :) 

3. I'm sure you've all noticed the lack of posts.... Kind of hard not to! I'm hoping we can get this club back to what it's supposed to be about: what's hot and what's not! So expect more posts on hot&not items/outfits. 

4. Also, I will be hiring new writers to help us be more active. Expect more info from the club-to-be ;) Current writers! If you could please write to me on Stardoll and let me know if you'd like to keep writing or just take a break for a while? I won't be deleting any writers unless they're extremely inactive or they ask to be removed.

5. Last thing (I promise!), this blog will only get bigger and better if we have your, the readers', input. I've posted a new poll, asking for your opinion, but if you have any ideas for the blog PLEASE message me! I guarantee I'll listen. Reader input also guarantees that you get to see/read/experience the best Hot & Not possible!

If you'd like to message me, my stardoll name is Varietygirl9143 (obviously!) or you can comment on this post.

Bye Boni! We'll miss you!

It's time for Varietygirl9143 to take over and for me to leave...


I was dreading the day I'd have to do this, but I think the time has come. I am about to leave Stardoll. I just don't have time for it anymore and I am not getting as much fun out of it anymore.

Everyone, it's been great. But I can't do this to everyone and stay while I don't post. It's time to give another blogger a chance.

It's just not worth it for me to stay.

So this is my final post, and I will quit or remove myself from every blog unless the owner does so first. I apologize for not posting, I just couldn't get myself to quit.

I want you to know that I have loved this blog with all my heart, it was the first blog I ever owned. Thank you so much for giving an inexperienced blogger like me a chance on this blog. I never thought I could love it so much, and it pains me to leave.

Thanks to everyone who has done everything you have done for me in the past few months.

Varietygirl9143 is the new owner...enjoy her!! She'll be great :)
