Why hello there...


It seems like forever and a day has passed since I last scribbled here on MDM.  I can still remember most of all articles that I wrote...and I can still remember when I took a break from blogging.




Now I am back home. And I want to sincerely thank Noelle and Isabella for opening their doors in such a welcoming manner and allowing me to, once again, write for MDM. I cannot wait to pick up my pencil and start scrawling in the next couple of days!

SIX

SIX years of ridiculous, consuming & addictive years with Stardoll.

In my endless on & off playtime, Stardoll has been dynamically revamping its site to accommodate the whims of every member (yes, including myself). From showcasing your achievements on your profile page to "Reserved For" between trades (two thumbs up for that Stardoll!), almost everything has been tweaked for the better (though I seriously believe that the minimum price of selling an item should be higher). Out of all the improvements & additions, my favourite would still have to be StarDesign Hair. Why?

Look
To think that 2007 face won CoverGirl 5 times
*cringe*

StarDesign Hair presents numerous creative options, & as from I have witnessed with some, bizarre. I ♥ the opacity slider! It just doesn't cast shine & sheen onto your tresses but it can also add depth to a MeDoll's features & intensity of expression. I am still learning the art of shading (& saving it in its right place can be a pain!). In earlier years, manipulation of a MeDoll's appearance was only possible with the assistance of editing programs outside Stardoll. In game is a totally different story. Quite tricky, to say the least.
UNFINISHED by yours truly

Despite my countless futile attempts on shading via StarDesign Hair, I admittedly pale in comparison to these SIX stunning & über-talented Stardoll members who unfailingly impressed me, along with millions who are still in awe. 


I know, right! AMAZING! They should seriously consider making a tutorial on how to do this! Better yet, sell their masterpieces in their StarBazaar 'cause I'll be first in line.

And of course, Doll2005 who gave me a fabulous make-over below!
THANK YOU!

I am not sure how they created these shadings but one thing is for sure, they are just made of AWESOME! I can't wait what these SIX girls can do in the next SIX years! And to everyone who has been with me throughout my own virtual SIX in Stardoll, here's to another SIX more!

MDM WANTS YOU!

Well, not you again.

After what seemed to be a needless drama of sorts, MDM is having a HUGE overhaul of the whole blog from what was left from it (whoever thought that the tacky blue-green damask background was cute is certainly disturbed). In the next couple of weeks, MDM will be undergoing a HUGE restoration from writers, to graphics to the overall look & feel.

SPECIAL OFFER DENIM SHIRT on a Stardoll member & on America's Restoration Rick Dale.
WHO WORE IT BEST?
lol

And since MDM is evolving into a mature direction whose target audience is not of the faint of heart (read: NOT KIDSAFE), we are on a wild hunt for quick-witted vicious writers, deviant graphic artists & just about any eager freelancer who has a say about anything Stardoll!

Wait.

Oh no no no no no. We are not looking for kids who scrawl about overly emotional rants, or heavily dramatic teens pouring out senseless real life realizations & definitely not the brats who have personal issues & are just angry by nature. They're just plain boring.

And neurotic

After all, this is MDM. Not your personal diary.
