New Callie's Pick's

New Callie's Picks(Oh no, here we go again)

So, the other day a new Callies Picks came out. This time the theme was “Art pop.”

This collection is once again a whole bunch of random clothes put together to create a so called “theme” based on artpop. The only thing that is close to artpop is the comic print dress. All the rest of these items are completely random and don’t fit together AT ALL. And can someone please tell me why there is that “Dress inspired by Mcqueen” is in there? HOW IS THIS CRAP ARTPOP?! The same goes for the “Inspired by Pucci” dress. To sum this up, stardoll has once again figured out how to release another collection of random bull crap making all the items included look like shit.
Great Work, You've Done it again!

New Kitsch

Good Afternoon,
So here I am talking about one of the newest additions to our Starplaza, Two new floors of Kitsch.
I think Kitsch is one of those stores where you either love it or hate it. I personally am not a fan of Hot Pink, I just think it's a hideous colour, and many of the items released in Kitsch are that colour. It is also a very helpful store for those who like a 'Retro' looking suite.

Above: This is the Message we all received a couple of days ago.

New PPQ

So, recently, new PPQ came out. Once again, I am extremely disappointed with this collection. The dresses are once more over priced and ugly as ever. Most of the dresses have this weird, strange, belt thingy. I don’t even know what to say. Who the hell wears a evening gown and THEN puts a huge, ass, belt over the top. Even worse, this collection seems to be all one colour when all of a sudden, WHAT DO YOU KNOW? TWO DRESSES WITH BRIGHT COLOURED SKIRTS APPEARS OUT OF NO WHERE! This collection barely makes any sense. Now moving on.  To sum this all up, once again PPQ has released another overpriced, ridiculously ugly collection.

 God help us all.

Marilyn Moments #5

~"Oh Piggy, You're just fascinating"~

~Extract from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes~

Good Morning Lovelies,

So, I'm sorry I haven't been doing many 'Marilyn Moments', I've been quite busy. I also have been having trouble paying for the clothes to use for these looks, as if I need a specific item, that isn't in star plaza I may need to may a ridiculous price. So today I am doing my fifth 'Marilyn Moments'. In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes theres a scene where Piggy (Charles Coburn) is showing Lorelei (Marilyn) "How a python can wrap itself around a goat, and kill it". While Piggy is doing this Mr Malone (Ernie Reid) is taking pictures through a port hole, as he is a private detective for Lorelei's fiancée, Mr Esmond (Tommy Noonan). Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is arguably one of Marilyn's most successful films. Although it was a hit at the box office, Marilyn despised her role, as she detested

being portrayed as a 'Dumb Blonde'. My Co - Owner of this blog, Fear has also portrayed Marilyn in this film, although she is Marilyn singing 'Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend'.

~My Doll~

 For this look I have used a basic purple belt, DKNY green wrap top, Michael trousers from Royalty. I also used a film theory emerald necklace and gold Miss Sixty heels. I've been planing to do this look for literally years. 

Hope you like it xx

My Wizard of Oz Tribute!

Good Afternoon Lovelies,
Well, today I am in a rather good mood. I just got my house painted so yeah, thats pretty good!
So, The Oscars are all finished. Personally I think the awards went to the wrong people. Leonardo DiCaprio,
once again, was robbed of an Oscar. And my least favourite celebrity, Cate Blanchett won 'Best Actress in Leading Role'.
But, the main reason that I watched the Oscars this year is because my childhood favourite film was payed tribute, on it's 75th Anniversary, at the Oscars. Judy Garland, one of the women I admire the most, played the role of Dorothy Gale in MGM's 1939 Classic, The Wizard of Oz (Which is getting payed tribute to). It is the role which made her famous, which made her a legend. Judy's Offsprings; Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft and Joey Luft also payed tribute to their late mother. So today's post is going to be a tribute to Judy and The Wizard of Oz.

A brief Biography of Judy Garland

Frances Ethel Gumm was born on the 10th of June, in Grand Rapids, Minnesota 1922 to vaudevillians; Frank and Ethel Gumm. Frances made her debut when she was only two years old when she sang 'Jingle Bells' at her Father's theatre in Grand Rapids. Frances was part of a vaudeville act called the 'Gumm Sisters' with her two sisters; Suzy Gumm (1915 - 1964) and Jimmie Gumm (1917 - 1977).  Following the rumours that Frank had sexual attractions to male ushers, the family moved to California in June, 1926. Frances auditioned for MGM and signed a contract in 1935. Frances went to school at Metro. Some of her classmates included; Deanna Durban,  Ava Gardener, Elizabeth Taylor, Lana Turner and her dearest friend, Mickey Rooney. Frances later changed her name to Judy, Judy Garland. Judy made several films including; Babes on Broadway, Andy Hardy and Broadway Melody on 1938 until she made her 'star' debut in 1939 in The Wizard of Oz. Judy had supposedly received an offer to play Scarlett O' Hara's younger sister in 'Gone With The Wind'. Judy refused as she was too busy working on 'Oz'. Judy made many more films between 1939 and 1950 including; Meet Me in St Louis, Easter Parade, The Pirate and Summer Stock. Judy married director Vincent Minnelli. Judy gave birth to her first child; Liza. Judy was fired from MGM in 1951. Judy later married manager Sid Luft who managed her on A Star is Born. Judy gave birth to two children; Lorna and Joey Luft. In the late 50's Judy was diagnosed with Hepatitis, she was obese. Judy was told that she was never to work again. Judy made an extraordinary comeback in 1961 at Carnegie Hall, the audience included my stars such as Sophie Tucker. Judy later signed a contract with CBS. In 1963 - 1964 Judy had her own television program, The Judy Garland Show. The show was mysteriously stopped after one series by CBS in 1964. Judy only made a handful on films after A Star is Born. Judy was supposed to appear in The Valley of The Doll's in 1967 but was later fired. Judy married only two more times to Mark Heron and Mickey Deans. Judy was found dead of and accidental overdose of Barbiturates in London, 1969. Thousand's showed up at Judy's funeral to pay respects to the singer which provided them with so much from the age of two years old.

Judy's relationship with Marilyn Monroe

Judy and Marilyn were good friends since they met a Hollywood party in the early 50's. Judy was Marilyn's un - official voice coach in 1959, for Marilyn's film 'Some Like it Hot'. Marilyn's favourite album in the 60's was one of Judy's. Judy was devastated when Marilyn died in 1962, Judy quoted that "Sometimes you have your medicine and then forget and then take some more, and then you relies you've taken too much".

Rest in Peace: Judy and Marilyn

With Love, Lucy

News: 2/3/14

 Good Evening,
So today was quite a big day for me! 
All day I have been storing photos for the blog,  Doing some 'Marilyn Moment' 's post's in advanced and creating some new segments. Obviously I have created a new one called 'News' which will be written by both Fear and I. Creating and owning a blog isn't as easy as it seems, feel if you want a good one, you need to have ideas written down and photos stored and much more! For most of today I was getting photos of my Stardoll Account and Storing them on a new Hard drive I bought specifically for the blog. So, As many of you may know my all - time favourite television series is 'The Judy Garland Show' (TJGS). TJGS lasted from 1963 - 1964, it only had one series. So, today I was getting some photos of the Show for an upcoming post and I saw, in the news section, some news about The Judy Garland Show. Naturally I clicked on, since The Show isn't much of a 'craze' these days you don't see many articles about it. So apparently Sycamore Entertainment Group have bought the rights to the series and are going to, for the second time in history, air it on television once again. They  are also going to be selling episodes individually on Android and Apple Devices. I also think they are going to release the Show on DVD, but I still need a reply from the information department. I am so excited ;D

I have created some new segments (listed below):

• News
• Outstanding Suites
• Doll of the Week

This segment will be published whenever needed to. It will feature Stardoll, Celebreity or Personal News.

With Love, Marilyn Monroe # 4

With Love from, "Let's Make Love"

"My Heart Belongs to Daddy"

- Marilyn Monroe as Amanda Dell

In recent history, Marilyn Monroe has garnered critical acclaim for her performances in Bus Stop (1956), The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), and Some Like It Hot(1959). Let's Make Love did not appeal to her, but she was obliged to shoot the picture because of her contract with Twentieth Century Fox.

Arthur Miller revised the script so that more emphasis was given to Monroe, his wife. This led to Gregory Peck dropping out and Yves Montand being cast instead. Krasna felt he was miscast because he could actually sing and dance, and so ruined the joke, but MM was enthusiastic about Montand. The two stars wound up having an affair during the making of the film.

When the film was released, it received mixed to negative reviews and made only $4.5 million at the box office.It was the first film starring Monroe to earn so little money in years on its initial release. Production costs were earned back, and would later prove a mild success.

Despite the flimsiness of Let's Make Love, Marilyn's sexuality and spark are evident in one of the film's musical numbers -- the scorching "My Heart Belongs to Daddy."

Let's Make Love received a nomination for Academy Award for Best for Lionel Newman and Earle H. Hagen and two BAFTA nominations for Best Film from and Source for George Cukor and for Best Foreign Actor (Montand). It also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture Musical/Comedy.
Original Music Score

It was a happy accident that I should create this unique look of Marilyn's. I had never really intended to set out and make this style originally, it just kind of made itself. That's why I was probably the most surprised when my doll evolved into the character of Amanda Dell, as portrayed by Marilyn Monroe. 

I was experimenting with different MM hairstyles when I stumbled upon this and it evolved into what you see before you. Although "Let's Make Love" wasn't as successful as past Monroe pictures, it is still worth a look for any MM fan who is captivated by her stunning presence and allure. It has lots of charm, so I hope this will inspire you to sneak a peek and see what it has to offer.

Thanks for Reading

With Love, The Fear
