StarDesign Hair - One of the Many New Additions.

Just today Stardoll introduced to us, the newest addition to the StarDesign feature - StarDesign hair! Although it may be slightly difficult to undertand at firts, I actually was very happy with it once I got the hang of it. Relatively to StarDesign Fashion, it is extremely easy to use! I personally love it and will definitely be using it often.

I'm sure you all already read about this somewhere, so I won't bother boring you with a long post about virtual hair. My main purpose for making this post was to bring up a discussion: Is Stardoll limiting our creativity? It seems as though back when Stardoll had less features, users were actually more creative. I remember before Stardoll introduced the toilet to the suite shop, people would make toilets out of eggs, which were sold in the suite shop previously. What do you think will happen to those who created wigs using StarDesign Jewelry? I'm not necessarily trying to say that Stardoll become more modernized and giving us options is a bad thing, but Stardoll has really become very different ever since the 2010 makeover.

Lesson Learned

"Telling a teenager the facts of life is like giving a fish a bath"  -Arnold H. Glasow

Lately I've been feeling like I'm learning everything the hard way. I think to myself, when I have kids, I'll tell them these things. But when I think about what I'll say, I realize that my father has said almost the exact same thing to me. Useless.

Somewhere along the road I came up with a romanticized view of the world. Maybe I watched too much Disney when I was little, or maybe I just bought into the lies of shows like Gossip Girl. I know, Gossip Girl? Romanticized? Well just take a look at this:

I'm talking about Prom. The one night of the year where everyday teens spend hundreds of dollars to dress up like princes and princess...and do what?

DANCE

No, not like this. Not where everyone looks perfectly happy and has a lovely date. Not like the prom in movies. Not at all.

At prom people dance like this:

 After getting all dressed up, people basically give each other lap dances, looking sufficiently awkward among their peers and teachers.  Yes, that's right. Remember, chaperons are there to "watch" you. But I couldn't phrase what they actually do any better than this: "Chaperons don't enforce morality; they force immorality to be discreet." -Judith Martin. This type of dancing (can you even call this dancing?) is obviously inappropriate for a school function, and school dance agreements do not put an end to it. My school dance agreement reads: "Suggestive dancing is not permitted - all dancers must remain upright, no hands on knees, no hands on floor with you buttocks touching your dance partner, no inappropriate touching." Okay, you gotta admit that all that sounds pretty hilarious when it's phrased that way, but it's the truth of what happens. 

I had to find this out the hard way. I mean I knew people danced like that at all the other dances, but some how I thought that putting on fancy dresses and giving it the title of "Prom" would change things. I guess not.

So don't say I didn't warn you. You're not a princess, this isn't a Fairytale, and this is not a Taylor Swift Song.
