It Would Be Nice If You Read This

I don't know. I just feel oddly nostalgic.
I really don't know if this is the right place to put this, and I know this blog is deteriorating (if anyone is interested in restoring it, feel free and message me, if not, well I don't mind too much if it just sits quietly as a memoir to my past obsessions),  but for some reason I just feel nostalgic.
It probably doesn't help that I just read 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' (which is amazing, go read it, or reread) and it's just made me think so much for some odd reason.
And then I realised that it had been a year since I officially 'quit' Stardoll, and really it feels so much longer. In that time I've taken my first every real exams, learnt to drive, gone to parties, became obsessed with models like Cara Delevingne and Daphne Groeneveld and I think, have grown up so much.
Which is probably great for me, considering I'm 16 and I only have a year left of high school, I don't regret at all leaving.

But then I realised that it was 2+ years ago when I was beginning to get into the stardoll 'scene'. I remember being 14 and thinking it was all so cool. I found these gossip blogs and trawled through their posts because I found how interesting the dynamics of this world was. I wanted in so badly. So I created a nightclub, The French Flamingo, if anyone remembers. And I remember being so excited because I had met two amazing people who wanted to help me. Maria and Vasia, who became two of my closest friends. I really liked them, they were so nice and came from the other side of the world and I thought they were so cool (which they are).
I really liked my nightclub, but it was so crazy. The first party I remember having was a killer. People showed up, had fun. Mind you, this was with the 'old' guestbooks, when it was so much easier to have parties. Literally 3 days after the party, stardoll changed and it was so much more difficult to have them. I detested the tinychat parties, they didn't feel like 'real' stardoll parties. The nightclub ended up becoming defunct I suppose. It was kind of ridiculous for me to get up at 4am to host a party.
That ended but I still had my modeling club. Which I loved. I'm a big fan of modelling, but I could never be a model myself. My love of modeling, fashion and photography developed into this blog. It was really meant to showcase stardoll talent and real models in real life.

I don't really know why I'm writing this, but as I said, I feel oddly nostalgic. There really is no need for this post, but this blog hardly posts anyways.

I will however leave some food for thought:
From what I can tell, so many people are leaving stardoll, no one seems to really be creating new blogs, or posting on old ones. It really seems quite boring and different to how it was a few years ago. However, no one is going to post if they do not see responses. Which, if you wish for this community to continue on, you should do. Comment on blog posts, new magazines, fashion line, whatever; all, this encourages the blogger to continue writing. Give love, criticism or hate. No one is going to continue creating new things if no one seems to care (well, on Stardoll anyways, this may not apply to real life.)
If you really want this whole world or whatever to be interesting and have fresh new things, be proactive about it and do something! Encourage others, comment and have your say on anything, it gets the conversation rolling, as more often than not, people just give up on their projects (and they could one day be amazing), if no one seems to care.


Anyways, that's all I feel the need to write.

Online Shopping Will Be My Death

Yo!
Not sure what's happening with the writers here, but I do get that Stardoll is boring and writing for a Stardoll based blog is not everyone's cup of (green) tea.
Anyways, I don't like seeing this blog go to waste, it is after all my baby, so I'm contemplating making a post (if this get's published you'll no I ended up posting it), I was going to do a rant on life without Stardoll and how much better it is and blah blah blah but I've decided against it. (However if you must know, it's quite good and I have a life.)

Instead I'll leave you with the results of my constant trawling the internet for beautiful clothes and things I want to buy;

Should I buy this skirt??

It's so pretty, no? Perfect for partyin' in ;). However tis' too cold in Australia to be wearing it without anything underneath at the moment, but what do you think?

But then again I am desperate for some Jeffrey Campbell Lita's...

'

Aren't they hot? *sigh*

But I would also love some Black Milk leggings...

Which are so amazing (and Australian made).

Decisions decisions, tell me what you think! Should I make a purchase, or are my ideas of pretty things actually as bad as my obsession with Instagram?

Catch me on tumblr and shoot me a message if you like :) @ q-u-i-r-k-y-c-i-r-c-u-s.tumblr.com

ciao amigos,

Make it worth your while!

I don't know if you read my recent post about Prom on MDM, but it was something I wrote before attending my Senior Prom (there is also a junior prom at my school, and so they insist that senior prom is called Senior Ball). I wrote that post when I was feeling rather pessimistic about the upcoming prom. I think you can tell from the post that I absolutely loath the way people dance at prom where I live (apparently it's different in other places, thank god). However after attending Senior Ball I found that there are many ways to make prom worth your while! The number one thing that I did that kept me looking forward to prom was making my own dress:

I has been such a long process, but once people at my school found out about it, they were so sportive, and of course made me feel beautiful the night of. Now I'm not saying that you have to make your own dress to make prom (or a similar occasion) worth your while. I just think you should be invested in your look! Don't feel bad going to to a couple different places to find the PERFECT dress. Another thing that completed the look was getting my hair done!

Now this is all post prom prep. So what makes the actual day fantastic?

• Going as a group. Get a limo or a party bus, and just have fun! 
•  Having an Awesome Venue! I'm not sure how much control you personally have over this, but my prom was at an aquarium/museum type place, and it was fantastic because you got to see fishies and penguins, and take pictures with fake zebras (:

lol, my friend being silly

Over all these 2 small things made prom much better for me this year! For those of you who are looking forward to prom next year, or many years form now, enjoy it! Don't make it a task, and don't stress out about it (:
