New Non-Superstar Gift

Thoughts on "Stardoll Royalty"

A Stardoll friend of mine told be about this new club, Stardoll Royalty. At first, I was completely puzzled; what was it? After searching, I discovered that it is an "exclusive, invite-only" club that "hand-picks" the "best of the best" Stardoll members, giving them "previews of their most exclusive collections" and access to "trying out new Stardoll features before they are released to everyone!"

First of all, on what basis they decide to give you an invite? Stardoll has more than 45 million members. It is completely impossible that Stardoll hand-picked some members who "have been Superstar for more than a year and have contributed to the site with fantastic suites and outfits". Some people who are superstar for more than a year, or even, were Superstar members since Stardoll started, didn't get an invite. And obviously, some amazing people with extremely creative suites and outfits haven't been invited, too. The club isn't only unfair to non-superstars, it is unfair to all the superstars who pay but apparently don't pay "enough". So how do they choose their members? Well, knowing Stardoll, choosing members that spend hundreds and hundreds of money in the site.

Yes, Stardoll needs to make money, and these members give them money, but the members from the Stardoll Royalty club are less than 1% of the Stardoll "population". The people who made and make Stardoll popular are the non-superstars, which are more than a half of the members, and the most active of them. So, technically, non-superstars and really active members are giving Stardoll money, but they don't seem to care. Shouldn't this members get a reward, too? Sure, there is free stuff, but that's nothing compared to being part of an "exclusive" club.

What is Stardoll teaching to young girls who play in their site? To become clique-y, to become materialistic, and to believe that people who pay are better than people who don't?! It seems like Stardoll doesn't care about their members anymore, and just wants more money. First, LE, then, Antidote, Dot, higher prices, more and more stuff becoming Superstar-only, etc...

I mean, look at the club's description: "Elite Squad". It seems like Stardoll is trying to make the gap between Superstars and Non-superstars even bigger. They want to make non-superstars jealous and to earn more money... really, just a stupid money tactic which seems to have caused the opposite effect instead of the desired one.

What has Stardoll become? Two months ago, they were promoting a no-bullying campaign, and now they come up with this exclusive club which doesn't admit cool and creative non-superstars, making them look and feel inferior to the members of this club? Stardoll is way more commercial than before.

If you noticed, this club was released just in time for Thanksgiving, Black Friday, "Cyber Monday", and the Holiday Season? And that the club received such a fierce backlash, that now we have been loaded with Free Stuff everyday?

Sincerely, I think it's a lame and pathetic attempt from Stardoll to make more money. Some people really deserve to be in the club, but really, it's nothing special - it's just a club that gives you free, Stardoll-logoed stuff every now and then.

What are YOUR thoughts?

Non-Superstar Pets!

Just in time for winter holidays, Stardoll made some pets from the MiniShop available for everyone! What do you think about this? I believe it was time for some non-superstars to have some furry friends in their suites, too...

Marc by Marc Jacobs and Betsey Johnson items available for everyone!

UPDATE 19/09: Everything has gone superstar, and it will be available until 20/09.

What a surprise! Not only we have got loads of inspired by designer items on the LE Spoilers, but now everyone can buy dresses from Betsey Johnson and Marc Jacobs' spring 2010 runway shows - to see them, go to style.com.

You can also buy a Marc by Marc Jacobs headband and shoes, and a Betsey Johnson belt and shoes.

However, the prices are not so friendly: $17 for a dress? I know it's designer and it has a really good quality, but why so much?

Hot Buys Beret: Non-Superstar!

Finally, a Hot Buys item everyone is able to buy - for cheap! This Sonia Rykiel Beret costs $5, and you can find it under New. Do you think Stardoll will make it superstar, just like Philosophy shoes? Or is it the next step towards more non-superstar "rights"?

Point Of View: Stardoll's New Strategy

Why is Stardoll puting all this Miss Sixty ads everywhere, if the collection hasn't arrived to the Starplaya yet? Why do they keep us waiting for it and shoving the collection in our faces?


That is Stardoll's new strategy. While making us wait for the collection we sell our clothes to have money to buy it, which means more money spent on the clothes, which means cash flow for Stardoll. And when we don't have anymore money we will buy another code, which also means more $$. We will log into our dolls to be the first to get the clothes and while we wait we'll buy other stuff for our rooms or start visiting our friends. More time on Stardoll means more rating, which means more $$$$$ for them.


Stardoll wants to earn money. And Real Brands are one of Starplaza's main attractions, one of the shops in which Stardolls spend more money in. When you see a Real Brand that is well known in real life and has pretty clothes you want to be a SuperStar. Miss Sixty- a brand which is very well known around the world and appeals to teenage girls (Stardoll's main target)- Miss Sixty is a good way to make Stardoll earn more money, but this brand will also win with this deal: when you like a brand in Stardoll, it's more likely that you'll buy it in real life. Take Sephora as an example. When you tried their make up on, didn't you wish you could have it in real life too?

But, Sephora is much cheaper than Miss Sixty, also it's very popular, while Miss Sixty has been loosing its thing for a while now. When they show up in Stardoll, their fashion forward users will spred the world about it. And a lot of brands know that teenagers are a very easy target for marketing. So Miss Sixty will have better sells on the next few months.

So, both of them win, Miss Sixty and Stardoll get more money. But what about us? Isn't being Superstar expensive in this economy? Why are we paying so much for some tiny pixels in our monitor, instead of buying something for us in real life? And why Stardoll is not giving any benefits for non-supestars? Sure, we have free stuff, but we also want to dress ourselves in colourful clothing, not just the dull colours of the Stardoll Store. Of course, Superstars pay for their extra benefits, but more of the half of Stardoll members are not superstar and they are the ones who gives Stardoll popularity and rating, and that is what allows stardoll to get more members.

So, instead of giving more and more to Superstars, why not think of 80% of the Stardoll Society?, why not give them a little bit more, which will also make them buying and give Stardoll money?, why not make at least 5 clothes of Miss Sixty to non-superstars? Which will like the brand and became Superstars too. Why not think about what they want and what they don't want?

Showing and shoving Miss Sixty in non-superstars faces, will tempt them to became superstars, but is it the right way to do it? And for the superstars members, don't you think that Stardoll is not giving you the benefits you are paying for? The new Superstar dolls lack in quality, and aren't the new clothes and furniture (which are not real brands or expensive) pretty boring? And isn't the money you get every week (50 stardollars) is not enough for everything?

Stardoll should start thinking on their members and not in their money. But what do you think?

Certain items from the Stardoll Store, including the Lady GaGa High-Waisted Nude Skirt and the Rare Olsen Twins Leather Jacket, are no longer Superstar. Yay! What do you think? Is this a glitch? Or is Stardoll finally realising that non-superstars exist too?
