The Starblog(Special Feature)
The Starblog, a place in which dollies can find out what the new hotbuys are going to be, new features, stuff about celebrities and a couple of other fashion related sections.
To get a place on the team you have to write an application and wait for Stardoll Staff to get back to you saying whether or not you have actually been accepted.
For a while, the Starblog was interesting enough, but now...it seems as if the standards of the posts are falling. People are losing interest, the posts are getting too similar and there's not enough variety, only one or two are really standing out for most. From asking around, it seems as if the members are getting sick of the Posh24 posts.
A couple of months back, there was the Starblog acceptance letter catastrophe, where all the members who had applied that week received FALSE letters confirming their acceptance, when they hadn't really gotten in. I was one of the people who was knocked over by this despicable error on Stardoll's behalf. I know I'm not the only one who can say they were greatly let down by this. It's made me question my writing skills, as silly as it may sound to you...but after 16 disapprovals and one fake one, it really does make you wonder...especially when you see the quality of the more recently accepted Starblogger's posts.
I have no intention of blogging about stupid fashion tips, nor do I have the intention of using the blog for the limelight or bring the eyes of my fellow members on my stardollie friends.
I wish to use the blog as a way to reach out to members suffering from bullying. I want them to know that there is someone who cares out there as those of you who know me well would know how much strongly I feel about this important topic. I'd even vary it now and again to post stories and poetry, but no, Stardoll won't give me the chance.
Is it really the only way you can now be on SB ...if you strictly post about medoll and make-up rubbish?
I asked Stardoll Royalty this question: "Is the quality of the Starblog falling some-what?" and this is what they have replied with:-
Yes.
It's just children making the most pointless posts which no one cares about.
Also, the makeover posts aren't even good...

It's mostly all about makeup or other stuff no one cares about.
I don't think anyone has posted anything decent for a while. :/

Martha you've already applied for starblog right? You'd be the only person posting something that's actually worth reading like about your no bullying campaign. I don't get how stardoll chooses people who'd post boring stuff like this over people who post things that are actually important to the world -.-

I hate the Starblog. End of.
The makeover posts aren't very good, at least do something unique. /: Most of them are boring and mediocre.
I don't understand why Stardoll chooses to accept those kinds of writers (heck, I wouldn't even call them writers) instead of people like you, Martha. I would actually read your posts.
Like EVERYTHING there is some boring post about makeup, makeovers, and talking about 'Trends' I would actually read it if people added things like poems, short stories, and just more original ideas

Yes, I just don't find them intresting anymore :/
I wish they would do something new, like the history of rare clothes! I would read /that/ ;)

As a whole, the Starblog seems boring and unoriginal to me. Many are the same. Simple outfits with very little imagination, friends of the bloggers featured, celebrities, old make-up tips. I'd love to see something new.
-Serendibite
I don't think so. Some of the writers are very good, but some posts do lack originality.
It would be nice to see some more variety.
I don't think the quality is falling though.

The Starblog reminds me just of a fashion and makeup magazine. Not all girls like fashion and makeup! The only Starblogger who I actually really like is the one who blogs about India, cause its at least a bit original.

( Aw, Roxie and Sama <3 )
So there we have it.
You've heard our opinions, now I'd love to hear yours!
