Tyler's Top Trends is No More

I am not perceived as the "nice guy". I never set out to be, anyways. But for people to say that I am a cold-hearted fame whore, is another story. I'm not. Most of you will not even be able to read this entire entry, and if you're one of those people: mind your own business and leave me alone.

I'm not one to hit "rock bottom", but I am afraid that time has come. I was born to be a boss, it's in my blood. I have been known to boss people are and harass them to no return, to get the job done. I wouldn't call it harassment, but I would call it dedication. I have done so much on this site and I have provided a lot. Now, here me out. I never said people have liked the things I have done, the projects I have created - but I created them. To say I have not made my mark on Stardoll, would be stating your own situation. If I haven't by now, neither have you.

I want to clear up a few things by saying that I am furious with numerous people on this site. I have had it. I know secrets and I keep them, but revealing them wouldn't mean shit to me, because it doesn't mean shit to them either. For years I have aimed high. I HAD high hopes for myself on this site, but it really doesn't matter to me anymore because it doesn't matter to you. I am a perfectionist and I seek to be perfect. Whenever I released something new into this god-awful world (Stardoll), I was worried about what people were going to think, how they were going to react, if they even would. As time went on I was given a stereotype. That stereotype was, "the cold-hearted, gay ass, elite wannabe, trainwreck bitch'.

It bothered me so much to watch my hard work go to waste. To see people focusing on me, more than my talents. Why do people hate on other people? It's human nature I suppose. Have you ever heard about those murder stories where the killers are able to kill their victims and feel nothing? It's kind of like that. Internet haters are cold-blooded killers. It's sad to see this site collapse from beneath my feet.

The foundation is caving in, the same time I am. The same time everyone is. Stardoll is over. I know the site is still there, but that's not the Stardoll I am talking about. I'm talking about the Stardoll WE created together. With the parties and the drama, the gossip, the elites, the fame, the popularity, the fun, the talent. Stardoll.com will continue to grow and so will we. We're matured.

People just take this blog for granted. I am not sure if they know what they have until it's actually gone. Blogging is not fun anymore because no one wants to give their feedback. Everyone is worried about their image. They are too worried to do something crazy and stand out. But then... Come to think about it, those are the types of people that say that don't care about our world. The ones that say it's just virtual. They care.

It is a virtual site, I will admit to that, but WE created Dollywood. The media likes to bring things up, make it a star - and then tear it right back down. That's what we have started to do. A town that we were once proud of, is dead. We have turned our backs on the single-most important thing in our world which is why it has decided to turn its' back on us. We're letting it, I'm letting it.

I have decided to close this blog down because no matter how hard I work, no matter how hard I try and no matter how big this blog will ever become... I will never be satisfied, because you won't be either. I see everything you all say about me. The ones that talk shit about me, read my blog religiously. That's not how things work around here - I am no longer going to give you something to run your mouth about.

If you are a true fan of my blog, you can thank the haters for ruining Stardoll, OUR STARDOLL and this blog. I wanted to thank everyone who has ever contributed to this blog because you have made it something special. You are some wonderful people.

This is not the last of me. But it is the last of you.

Unconditionally Fierce - Pt. 1

(Image above: Fierce Magazine's Spring/Summer, 2010 Cover).

If you are familiar with Stardoll-based magazines, then you are aware of the much-celebrated, always anticipated, virtual, online magazine that is Fierce. Over a short period-of-time, the magazine has gained tons of recognition for being both daring and reader friendly.

Fierce Magazine is maintaining by a bubbly girl named Alice Fare (Hunnigall on Stardoll). We got up close and personal with the Editor-in-Chief herself in a recent candid interview (which will be published in two parts) that you can only see here. During the conversation, Alice reveals the chaos behind what goes into the making of each issue, life in the 'spotlight', what the future may hold, and so much more! Plus, also only here, the new promo photo for the comeback issue is exposed!

TTT: Your magazine has built up a rather large fan base, does knowing that so many people will read the finished product affect the final execution?

Alice (Hunnigall): Sure it does! The most encouraging thing about owning a publication or project of your own is the followers and support you receive. People find happiness and entertainment through reading magazines, and even if they skim the writing and just look at the graphics, I'm happy that I've contributed to someone's day in a positive way :) However, all good things come with a natural balance... I could do without the anonymous critics :D

TTT: Fierce has made a big impact on its' readers and the Stardoll magazine industry alike. How has Fierce impacted you?

Alice (Hunnigall): Fierce has given me more self respect.. I beat myself up about alot of things, and having the readers reassure that, actually, I do have talent is heartwarming. I've also become closer to Emma (my Gummy Bear :D) and all our covergirls and co workers become close friends. Not that I didn't keep up with trends anyway, Fierce does tend to inspire me to look further into fashion and to use my own take on it. I guess, in a way, Fierce taught me to be fierce!

TTT: So Alice, tell us, how do you go about the picking and choosing of what you add in each issue? Such as models and articles?

Alice (Hunnigall): It all happens randomly... At the start of an issue, absolutely NOTHING is organised. Usually there's brainstorming, caffeine and ridiculous amounts of swearing involved in making a fantastic issue of Fierce ;D Models used to be something that I organised competitions or signup sheets for, but now I just take who I like and use them... Often without even telling them! Articles are always decided by the individual writer. I tell all the writers that what they write is entirely up to them, but it must fit in roughly with the theme... And then comes the organisation of the contents - CHAOS!


And there you have it! The first half of a two part interview segment! Be sure to keep a look out for that second half where, like mentioned, the promotional photo for the comeback issue will be made public!

Tyler's Top Models Launches!

In the middle of all of this negative feedback... I have decided to do what I do best according to the media: whore myself out. I can care less about what people think of me. It's your choice and it's your opinion.

Now that that is out of the way, I would like to introduce a new and innovative project that I myself have put together - whether you care or not, it's now open:

(click) Tyler's Top Models

Dark + Delicious = Darklicious!

The first spoiler created for Gbbbe2 and Brit-on-me's new brand line, just was released, it being called Darklicious!

Is this the year of Stardoll fashion lines or what?

My overview of the ad is that they are showing something very new to the industry of Stardoll lines, so I can't wait to see what this line will be up with, maybe even Stardoll Fashion Week? But I am hoping with a sneak-peek like that, that this will NOT be a trashy line. It is so easy to cross the line to slutty couture when designing clothes, so hopefully they know that when they made this holey yet edgy dress.

Also! They are looking for models and media partners, so apply today!

HB Released: Faux Fur Hat & February Hot Buys

After all the critics on the last HBs here's one that doesn't make me fell like criticizing a lot. The only problem is the price, I do think 7sd is a bit too much. The hat itself is a creative accessory, that can go really nice if well matched. The real life version is by Giles and if we compare we'll be disppointed with the graphic quality (just like the others), so let's not.
.
Don't forget to check the real life version on HotBuys Addicted
.

After January's HBs it was quite impossible to get worst items, so i have to say I'm happy with this month's. The graphic quality isn't the best, but it's not the worst either. The clothes are trendy and seen on Spring 2011 Ready-to-wear. I alredy have my particular favourite and it's the vest inspired by Paul Smith. Let's wait for the prices, and keep checking the blog for my reviews on each HB as they get released.

Red Lips Magazine's First Issue Review

The second issue was just released yesterday for the brand new mag, Red Lips Magazine, by JosephinaA.

Seriously, is 2011 making everyone into a designer or magazine creator now?

But anyway, I checked out the magazine the other day and the cover-girl is Gillian/Juciimami827, the creator and founder of Stardoll's Official NOH8.

The cons I seem to spot heavily just rest on the graphics, they are very simple, nothing amazing or brilliant, just simple. And the fact that they say they are the first to ever use Stardoll graphics, which is not true in the least, which is a rather annoying thing to announce since ALL magazine use Stardoll for graphics, but I guess they meant to say the whole thing is mainly used only with Stardoll graphics, though you can clearly tell they had other influence else where.

Even though the graphics are lacking in the way they are, the charisma the photo shoots capture make up for its okay designs. I would really complain about is the size of the magazine one the page! I love how they used that website to create a magazine like that, but its way too tiny to read! Which leaves you no option, if you actually, plan to read it, to enlarge it, which I highly doubt people did, most only care for the photos, just like a real life magazine, so it decreases the want to read the articles.

And one last thing is that.. I noticed.. no where did I see a cover-girl or NOH8 interview with Gillian anywhere! Strange..?

The the pros I have to say is that it looks like she actually took time out to make all of this. Which I adore about magazines. I hate it when I see a new issue and it only has a cover-girl pulse interview, two extra articles, and then that's it.. This one took effort to make, and I love how you can tell the hard work the editor did with the added help. And the articles are not that bad to read either. So you should check out the pages of it, its worth it.

Another thing is that it seems like Gillian and Chad/MadWorld are out on a date in the issue! Couple/pair photo shoots are always better appealing to me, even if it is focusing more on one person over the other, so I defiantly enjoy that section of the issue the most!

Emily's Thoughts: Fiancee du Vampire

I had a little chat with Emily asking her about her thoughts on the new collection Fiancee du Vampire. Here is what she had to say...

They're fabulous, I'm absolutely in love. The other ones were okay, and some of them looked like they need to be worked on a little bit more. The collection needs more details, but besides that, it's really well made, and the outfits perfectly match the vampire theme! I would have chosen another runway, though. This one withdraws my attention from the models, and makes me look at it. The runway could have been all dark and neutral without that many objects on it. But as I said, I really like it, good job!

Her favourite outfit are below!

New Release: Tokyo PopShop

For once I am happy to say that I have almost nothing negative to say about this shop. The Tokyo PopShop is inspired by Tokyo Japan. After a recent visit to Japan over Christmas break, I feel like this shop really embraces the flavor of Japan.

The shops itself has an amazing and sleek layout. It's full of bright colors and funky textures. The items for sale are also vibrant and bold. Some of my favorite things that this shop has to offer is the hanging origami birds, the colorful round lights and the animal inspired dishes. Something that amazes me about this shop is the fact that the prices aren't outrageous. Lately Stardoll has had a bad habit of overpricing. And I am pleased to say that these prices aren't on the verge of outrageous.

Overall, I love this shop and I am hoping that in the future they branch out and expand. What are your opinions on Toyko PopShop?
