Elite

Hello my Lovelies!! 

So, as you may have noticed by the title, I am not going to be posting about some new feature or release on Stardoll (if you are wondering why, it's because there is nothing new for me to post about). No, instead I am going to be writing about something that actually makes up the majority of the "Stardoll Society". What is that?

Elites

Yes, everyone knows about that word and what it means when it is in reference to Stardoll. It is a title users gain when they have become recognized for one thing or another. Maybe they have a fantastic suite or amazing outfits. Perhaps they create beautiful designs or elaborate albums and sceneries. Maybe they are the owner of a great blog or fashion line or magazine. Or, and this seems to be the most common, I person "earns" their fame by talking to the right people, having the right friends, and being on the right lists. Sadly, that is how MANY of Stardoll's current Elites have gotten that much sought after title.

Let's look at why so many members of Stardoll want this title so badly. Along with this title is the satisfaction of knowing people admire you for one reason or another. People look at your little corner on Stardoll that is just a bit brighter then everyone else's and they say, "I want to be like them!" Sadly, along with that recogniztion is drama, haters, and yes, more drama. Some people thrive on that. They thrive on all the comments and attention no matter now terrible and mean they are. And in the end, we as readers thrive on the gossip that results. They stage stunts such as "leaving" Stardoll. They make it look believable and write a huge and detailed Good-Bye message and we read it and lap up every bit we can. Why? Simple! Because of who they are!

Thankfully though, there are some members of that class that aren't best described as fame whores. No, they are the ones that have climbed to the top the good old fashioned way and earned their status. They have spectacular suite, exceptional MeDolls, and really uphold the true meaning of Elite. You can usually tell these ones by their kind attitudes or the fact that they don't believe that they are in that oh-so-desired class of excellence. These are the ones that truly deserve to be up there. Who are they? You can tell just by looking around. Reading their presentations. Seeing how they react with people. They are the ones that really deserve this recognition. Unfortunately, more of the Elite class is being overrun by the now well known term "fame whores".

A little while ago, many of Stardoll's Elites left behind their virtual lives. Many said that the reason they were leaving was because they saw what they had turned into. They saw how vain, shallow, and rude they had become over some popularity on a virtual website. They said, the best way for them to return to themselves was for them to totally leave behind Stardoll. Expel it from their lives. Well, I got a little something to say to you Hunny. It's not the websites fault that you let a little virtual fame go to your head. Yes, I was getting sick and tired of hearing all of these people make excuses so they could feel a little bit better about themselves. What do I mean? These girls let fame on a website go to their head and let it effect them as a person and then, after they realized what happened, were ashamed of the fact and in an effort to make themselves feel better, they blame it on the website. Now yes, maybe this is a bit harsh and it doesn't apply to all the people that left Stardoll. But really, is that deserving of the title and status of Elite-ism? Only you can answer that.
