MSW 2012 is finally here!

That's right, dollies, so hold onto your designer sunhats and run to the Broadcasting page, because it's time to campaign! Stardoll announced that MSW 2012 would be arriving shortly a few days before the voting started last night.

 

 

Last year's theme was red, and now it's blue this year. I still don't understand the color choice, but I sincerely hope next year won't be green. In any case, you can vote by clicking the large blue button right above the Covergirl/NCG star votes. Keep in mind that you can only vote for the same person once in a day.

And if you know me by now, it would seem obvious that I have no interest in campaigning whatsoever. I'm not putting down anyone who does, but I personally would feel my wallet hurting just by looking at the amount of Broadcasts people are sending out, rapid-fire. It takes a lot of work to run, and even then it's going to be extremely difficult for a dollie to make it to the semi-finals. But good luck to anyone who's campaigning! Feel free to advertise yourself in the comments below.

The prizes, in my opinion, get better and better every year. To see all of the information about MSW, click the link here: http://www.stardoll.com/en/campaigns/miss-stardoll-world/ for the full description.

Good luck, dollies!

P.S. I think I'll be posting a MSW 2012-themed makeup tutorial soon, so keep checking back and I'll keep you posted.

Starcoin Gifts

Now that I have the time (and energy) to blog, I can officially start ranting again.

I was a little weirded-out when I logged on to Stardoll about a week ago and I was brought to a page with a picture of several large, purple, wrapped gifts with Starcoins dangling off the bow. I read the blurb at the top and tried clicking on one of the gifts, but alas, Stardoll's seemingly good idea was actually a shoddy piece of crap that didn't work. Apparently you were supposed to get Starcoins from the presents when opened, but those damn things just refused to open.

A few days later, Stardoll fixed this problem, and now every time I log in, I get a lovely surprise of three or five Starcoins. Kind of useless, though, don't you think? I could always use the extra money, but I always think whether Stardoll actually needed this attachment to the Earning Starcoins system.

Another thing that bothers me is that Stardoll has a cap on the amount of Starcoins a single user can have. Now, I find that just plain irritating. I was about to buy a lovely wig from my friend's Starbazaar, and it turns out I couldn't buy it because her Starcoin limit was at the max. That's just bothersome for the buyer and the seller. I don't think it has become a real problem yet, but it's just kind of annoying, for me, personally.
