My New Banner.

2009-12-13T23:55:00.002-05:00

Okay, so maybe the banner might be old to other writers but considering I havent posted in a while, it's new to me. I just like to say that I love it! and the graphic designer who done this has done an amazing job (:

All the new clothingg (:

2009-12-13T23:37:00.003-05:00

Since i haven`t posted in a while and quite abit of clothing has been realsed in starplaza, I`m going to do a review on it all.

NEW Miss-Sixty: It`s alright, I guess. Some of the items aren`t really my style. I would have to say the ones I like are : Denim harem pants, Flame red frock and Red glitter handbag. The rest, im not so sure about.

Oh and most of you would probarly have seen the advertisment on the start page, alothough it's no longer there I found it quite funny. It said something about " It's cold outside, stay warm with the new Miss Sixty" Umm .. Stardoll we are on a virtutal website ?

Voile hoilday Boutique: Some of the stuff in this store are really cute! but others are just not me.

St Trinian clothing: I actually dont have access to this store, but I have seen some spoliers on blogs and stuff. And i have to say i quite like it. I own a few items because i searched it. If anyone doesnt have access like me and owns some of this clothing could you please contact me here or on my main account ( hottpink12 - if you didnt know ) and tell me what i have to search! Thanks heaps!

Christmas Calenders: The non-superstar items are just plain boring! But some of the superstar items are alright.

Superstar prices rise : For the Australians, Superstar prices have risen. If your from Australia, you can`t buy a gift code from the stores like some countries - or whatever it`s called. You can only buy it via text message, credit card and all those other things. I buy viz text message. I used to pay $5:00 and get 1 month superstar and 100 stardollars. Then they lowered it to 2 weeks. Now I have to pay $7:00 and get 130 or something. I know $2 isnt alot of money, but stardoll is kinda being rediculious about this. Has anyone else superstar gone up or whatever?

Okay so I will stop writing now, your probarly getting sick of me xP
Brittany !

Extremley Sorry!

2009-12-13T23:31:00.003-05:00

Hey Everyone.
I am really sorry for my lack of posts. As i said in one of my posts before my internet was really slow, well I found out why it was - i went over my limit and my mother being the nice, humble person she is "kindly" banned me from the internet. With a massive one day of grounding i was allowed back on. I will try and post as much as I can.

To Arianna: I am sorry for being such a terrible writer for this blog! I will try my hardest to post whenever I can.

New Miss Sixty

2009-12-10T11:08:00.005-05:00

New Miss Sixty was released today. I'm not sure if I like it. Opinions?

What do you think? The denim harem pants are growing on me although they might not be suitable for this time of year. Oh what the heck -- I'm buying them this instant.

Just So You Know...

2009-12-10T00:52:00.004-05:00

For those that knew about/read my other blog (The Rock & Roll Angel From Hell), I have officially deleted and closed down that blog. It's causing a lot of tension between me and my mom, I feel - and if deleting a simple blog can somehow help us get on the right path towards a better mother-daughter relationship, then I'm going to delete the blog.

That blog means (meant) nothing to me, where as having a better relationship with my mom means the world to me.

From now on when I need to vent or express my thoughts/opinions I'll either do it on paper, or just talk to a close friend.

Anyway, I just wanted to give everyone a quick heads up about that blog being deleted.

Another One Bites the Dust

2009-12-09T17:45:00.003-05:00

Mary-Kate (marikate14) has decided to stop writing for this blog (in case you already haven't noticed via the list of Writers on the sidebar).

Anyway, I'll miss having her on this blog. But I do have to admit the way she quit was a bit unprofessional, dare I say. Oh well.

Golden Indulgence

2009-12-09T16:30:00.004-05:00

Golden Indulgence -- another theme I'm loathing, which is rather similar to the For My Princess one I disliked as well. Whoa. Oh, and PS? I la-la-love this banner. Hot.

Writers, Listen Up

2009-12-08T15:52:00.005-05:00

If my writers don't start posting on this blog even a little bit more extreme action will have to be taken.
IE: You. Will. Be. Fired.

I mean, come on, if you weren't going to post why'd you even agree to be or ask to be a writer in the first place? I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but it's just annoying. If I had known you wouldn't be posting at all or only once every couple weeks I never would have hired any of you as writers. That way people that actually would post on the blog would have been able to get the position. Anyway, please just start posting more and things will be fine.
PS: I am truly sorry if this post sounds really mean. I'm just in a bad mood right now, as I find myself alot lately, actually.

Spread the Word

2009-12-07T20:48:00.004-05:00

I want to try to spread the word about this blog and get more followers, if possible. So if you have a blog it would be great if you could post the graphic below, to help get the word out.
Here is the graphic:
If you do post this graphics or anything else about Bitten & Bound on your blog please tell me in the comments or via Stardoll so I can mention you, and your blog, in an up-coming post I make on this blog, as a thank you.

Color Gloss Spoiler

2009-12-07T18:33:00.003-05:00

I've never even read the first issue of this magazine, in fact, I hadn't heard about it untill today - but I figured it would be nice to post a spoiler for the December issue.

Dear Writers of B&B!

2009-12-07T17:31:00.009-05:00

Writers, I've made each of you a banner. Please use whichever banner I've made for you when you post from now on. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about your banner please take them up with me via Stardoll dollmail. PS: For you names on the banner, I've decided to use your Blogger username instead of real name or Stardoll username just for my own reasons and purposes.

Recherche Magazine

2009-12-07T08:59:00.004-05:00

Gosh, why are people so mean? I know Arianna's already posted on this, but I can't believe that ''SD Book'' girl did that to doinker_chic. I don't personally know Lily but it's clear that she put tons of work and effort into Recherche -- now it's all ruined. Whatever happened to being nice? Fame, fashion and friends? Pfft. This is all so brutal. Click here.

New Layout

2009-12-07T02:32:00.004-05:00

I've given the blog a new layout. Which comes along with a new color scheme. I've grown tired of the red, white, and black theme. Please comment on the new theme of the blog.

PS: Writers of Bitten & Bound, I will be providing each of you with a banner soon - untill then please use whatever banner you have been using.

. . .how things grow on you? At first, when I caught a glimpse of those Hotbuys Furry Armwarmers, I was thinking, ''What the heck are those?'' yet a few minutes ago, I found myself purchasing a pair to keep my virtual limbs warm. How funky are they?

Donna Magazine Spoiler

2009-12-05T17:45:00.004-05:00

A spoiler has been released for the Winter issue of Donna magazine. I like the color scheme. And I love how the shadow model is wearing bunny ear type bow thing. I'm obsessed with any type of animal ears - so that's right up my alley.

Let me just say, I'm super physched to be writing and I hope to cover a lot of Stardoll-related news for you all. Anyway, moving onto the apology part of this post, I just want to say a huge sorry to Arianna, and, of course, to all you readers. The reason why I have only began writing and introducing myself so late was because I was simply busy in real life. I'm not going to make any excuses and I really am sorry. But anyway, goodbye for now!

More Bloggers Are Coming!

2009-12-05T09:52:00.005-05:00

I've been talking to some of my dear friends on Stardoll about writing for this blog. A few have agreed to be writers, a few others will be guest bloggers - possibly later becoming a full-time writer. And a few others are still considering it. So just be prepared for even more writers, which will hopefully lead to more posts more often.

New Banner Again

2009-12-03T21:12:00.004-05:00

There is a new main blog banner. Again. So check it out. I'd love to hear any feedback via comments. Definitely showing my support for NOH8 with that banner. I've always been fighting for equal rights, now I have a blog banner to help spread the word even more. I might do a new banner for me to use when I post to show my support for TWLOHA (To Write Love On Her Arms), the other charity I support majorly right now.
Anyway, I hope everyone likes the banner.

New Blog Playlist

2009-12-03T19:36:00.002-05:00

I want to make a new playlist for the blog. If you have any song requests you want included please tell me in the comments ASAP so I can take all the suggestions into consideration.
PS: Has anyone else noticed how two of the writers I've hired STILL haven't made so much as an introduction. It makes me wonder why they even applied to write for the blog in the first place.

A Poisonous Christmas

2009-11-29T19:41:00.005-05:00

This was the best surprise I've ever recieved in my life, I swear to God.

I logged onto Stardoll a few minutes ago, checked my club like I always do and saw this topic by Becka (Poison's, my magazine's, graphics designer and Editor-In-Chief) Let's just say I was throughly shocked to the core and could not believe what I was reading.

I proceeded to her blog and saw this^. The Christmas issue of my magazine, published with new features and stuff that was supposed to be in the Summer 2009 issue.

All that's left to say are two things:

1) Becka, I love you to death. You are amazing. Words can not describe how happy seeing this made me. Simply wonderful. Thank you, darling.

2) As soon as Becka emails me everything for this Christmas issue, now that I've seen it, I will be posting this issue of Poison's official website (http://officialpoisonmag.wordpress.com/). For now you can read this issue here, though: http://beckalaetitia.blogspot.com/

D Magazine Spoiler

2009-11-28T12:09:00.002-05:00

It's cute. The graphics are great, of course. I'm looking forward to the release.

Too Many Updates For A Name

2009-11-28T00:56:00.006-05:00

Some quick updates before I log off my grandparents super slow computer for the night. Also, I promise I'll be posting some more good posts as soon as I get back home. My family is heading back to Virginia Beach tomorrow. Also x 2, still no banner as I'm still not using my laptop - I could use it but I don't feel like hooking it up to the internet and etc since it's past 1am. Anyway:
^This spoiler for The Fashion Show, an exclusive given to Haus of Sin, was released.

-The new DKNY collection has been released. I bought a couple items.

-The new Dot make up is out. So far I haven't bought any because I don't like it.

-The Gift O Meter thingy...yeah, that's kinda stupid - but because I just bought 1000 stardollars and spent it on items I've wanted for a while, I now have all the items on that meter.

-There is a free superstar dress on page two of the new items in the Starplaza.

-All members can get a Christmas tree on Stardoll. Superstars get a nice gold one, non-superstars get just a regular one. Another indication of Stardoll playing favorites.

I think I've listed everything that's happened over the past couple days. If I've missed anything feel free to tell me in the comments so I can make a post about it ASAP.

New DKNY.

2009-11-27T19:18:00.004-05:00

Hey Everyone !
Sorry for my lack of posts, two reasons for that.
1. My internet has been ever-so-slow
2. I wasn't sure on what to post on.

Anywho!
I have something. The new, very anticipated dkny line has been released. Right at this moment I am looking over every individual peice. Some are nice, some are alright and some are just stunning! They are obviously chirstmas colours, but yet again are a little expensive. I havent yet brought anything but i will soon! So what are everyone's new thoughts on the new DKNY?

Ohh. The gift-o-meter.
Seriously, What is with that? It's just another thing stardoll is doing to get us to buy more codes!
I really like the silvery dress, but i though that was given away to the people in stardoll royatly?
Hmm ... time will tell.

Take Care everyone!
Britt.

Just So You Know

2009-11-26T22:10:00.004-05:00

I will not be posting much, if at all, over the next three days (weekend). I am out of town for the Thanksgiving holidays and won't be back home untill probably Sunday night.
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and had a great Thanksgiving Day!

XOXO,
Arianna

2009-11-21T23:16:00.004-05:00

Kill the Lights - it may be a Britney Spears song, but now it's also a Stardoll blog too. This blog is new, and still getting started (with only an introduction post being published so far), but it looks like it could be pretty good. Very promising. The owner is applead. You can check out and follow the blog here: http://kthel.blogspot.com/

Hmm .. Strange !?

2009-11-21T21:54:00.003-05:00

Oh My Gosh. Last night I was on stardoll, Obviously and I joined some random club because i was bored. Then Like i went to my updates and then was some mail saying that some other club had posted one of those topic things, i clicked on it and then it went to the clubs homepage and said "Sorry you are not allowed to do that" and all my clubs were gone all mine, the ones i manage and the ones that i have joined. I went on my page and it was all gone! By now i was freaking out, i logged in and out and then found out it was just a glitch Lol. But how weird is that ?! If anything like this has happened to you (Or just any random glitch) post them here!

Sorry for this kinda boring post. I will post more intresting ones when i find them.

December Hot Buys: Review

2009-11-20T19:09:00.003-05:00

Bisou Bunny Ears: J'adore them. Definitely going to be buying those, given my propensity to make some of my outfits a bit over the top.

RIO Dress: It's okay. Not my favorite Hot Buys item this month, though.

Pretty In Pink Heart Purse: It's cute. Nothing more to say.

Evil Panda Armwarmers: Probably will buy those, but never wear them.

Pretty In Pink Blazer: This blazer is adorable. Loving this item, aswell.

Bisou Stud Dress: Hopefully this one isn't too long, length wise. If it is it will totally ruin the whole affect of the dress.

Fallen Angel Booties: Don't like the whole pointed part. Looks like elf shoes. Either way, I'll be buying them, though. Like I said before - I do some crazy outfits.

Fallen Angel Tulip Skirt: I haven't really come to a decision on what I think about this skirt. It's growing on me.

Pretty In Pink Bow Belt: Cute. Simple. Could look nice if worn the right way.

Kohl's Abbey Dawn Shit: I just don't really like much from the Kohl's store. It never looks right on the medolls.

Fallen Angel Draped Top: Liking this, too. Will be buying as soon as it comes out for sure.

Eternity Spoiler

2009-11-20T18:57:00.003-05:00

Mary's Back

2009-11-18T20:20:00.003-05:00

Stardoll's very own writemarycat aka: Mary is back. And judging from her presentation, Eternity might be too. You can read more about it here: http://thestardollfreakshow.blogspot.com/2009/11/eternitys-back.html

Okay, Maybe Not...

2009-11-18T19:40:00.003-05:00

Okay, I decided the blog will NOT go on a break of any sort - for reasons I'm not going into detail about right now. Besides, it's basically just because I don't want to take a break from this blog. All the other reasons are tiny and don't add to my decision much. Also, I've already decided on a couple people to be writers for the blog, that applied, so look out for the post listing all the new writers soon - hopefully by the end of this week if all goes as planned.
PS: We need more followers! Try to spread the word as much as possible. It would be greatly appreciated (spell check. lol) if you did.

Ciao For Now

2009-11-18T09:05:00.002-05:00

This blog is going to be on a slight break for the next week or so. I need time to get my head straight. I'm going through some stuff in real life that is very demanding of my attention to get through properly. I might try to post is anything really big or exciting happens in the Stardoll world, but that's it. My best guess is the blog will be back in full-business by next week, if all works out okay with what I'm going through in real life. I thank everyone for understanding why this blog needs to go on a kinda-break, and thank you for the few people who have shown support.

Writers Needed

2009-11-17T21:13:00.002-05:00

I've started looking for people to hire as writers, as some of you may have seen on my Stardoll presentation already. So if you are interested in writing for Bitten & Bound just contact me on Stardoll via guestbook, dollmail, or friend request - I will try to get back to everyone that contacts me as soon as I possibly can, but please understand I am not online much anymore these days, I have a very busy life outside of the internet for a 14 year old.

A Very "Fierce" Spoiler!

2009-11-17T15:52:00.004-05:00

Hunnigall released the spoiler for the next issue of Fierce Magazine yesterday. It looks very promising, as always. But, then again, I have always been an avid lover of Alice's graphics work and when she started doing her magazine I was floored, it was that amazing. Can't wait for the next issue, that's for sure.

Star_Awards Controversy

2009-11-15T19:26:00.003-05:00

I think most of everyone knows about the rumors going around that Star_Awards is TheGossipDish. I have no new things to add to this rumor. I'm simply asking people to cool it. Even if Vanessa really is TheGossipDish, everyone makes mistakes - and at least her mistake turned into a widly popular gossip blog. That's a pretty good mistake, in a way. I'm not saying the rumors or true, nor am I saying they aren't - I'm just saying maybe everyone needs to calm down, back off, and remember this is just a virtual dolly site. Thank you and good-night.

Huge Raffle/Contest

2009-11-15T12:16:00.005-05:00

Okay, I've determined this blog needs more readers and followers, so to help with that I'm starting a mega contest. As I've said before, I think, I am desperate for this blog to become at least a little bit more popular.
Here's how it will work work - for every one follower you get to follow this blog, is every time you are entered into a raffle to win major prizes.
What that means is the more followers you get, the more times your entered, which leads to greater chances of winning.
How do you tell me who you've gotten to follow? Everytime you get someone new to follow this blog just make a comment on this post stating your Stardoll username and the person you got to follow's Stardoll username - then, bam, your entered once. Keep doing that and you keep getting entered. It's fairly simple if you ask me, considering the prizes as are follows:
1st Place: Multi-Color Mary-Kate RC tunic dress
2nd Place: Black Ashley RC mini-dress
3rd Place: Pink Ribbon by Primp top
4th Place: 10 gifts of your choice
5th Place: 3 gifts of your choice
That's right, there will be five winners total - so not only can you enter a whole bunch of times based on how many followers you get, but you get a ton of chances to win something awseome.
The contest will only be from now untill November 29th - so hurry and start getting those followers for your chance to win!
Also, if you do win one of the top three prizes and are non-superstar arrangements will be made to accomodate that, don't worry.

Fashion Battle: Round One

2009-11-15T02:06:00.003-05:00

Who do you think wore it best? Vote in the poll on the sidebar.

PS: Sorry for the slight blurriness of the graphic. I am just now finally trying my hand at putting two different pictures together to make one, in Paint - I don't know what you want to call that little process. Anyway, my first ever attempt ended in a blurry graphic. But oh well.

New Banners

2009-11-15T00:47:00.000-05:00

Which banner should I use when I post? I'm not sure, so please give me your input. I don't remember where the original graphic is from in the first one, sorry - but credit to where it came from and who made it. And the second one is from The Stardoll Hall of Fame, if I have my blogs correct - so credit to whoever made it from that blog. Also! If YOU know how to make good graphics and are a fairly active member of Stardoll, contact me if your interested in becoming Bitten & Bound's official graphics designer/artist. Contact me via Stardoll guestbook, my username is ariannacarle. Or leave your Stardoll username and a sample of your graphics work in the comments. I'm pretty desperate, so everyone has a chance.

PS: Have you seen the new main blog banner? Made entirely by moi!

Under New Ownership

2009-11-14T11:20:00.000-05:00

If you read Alessandra's post you would know she has left the blog. And made me the new owner, and only writer. I've already made some changes to the blog, by giving in a slightly new look. And soon I'll be changing the banner I use when I make a post. I might be hiring some new writers, as well - as I don't think I can do this blog alone. I also want to add some regular posts that are featured once a week or something along the lines of that, but I still haven't decided what those posts will be about. I have a few other ideas I want to try out on a trial basis, but you wont find out about those untill later. I hope I can be a good owner, but I'm not making any promises. Also, thank you for 'Less for entrusting me enough to turn the blog over to me. That shows some true friendship and trust, there.

Time For My Good-Bye

2009-11-11T09:24:00.000-05:00

It's come to my knowledge that I have NO time for this blog anymore. I don't think I had time for it in the first place, either. But that's another story, another time.

I'll try to keep this short and sweet for you all because I know that many peoples hate reading long posts that ramble stupid thoughts.

I'm quiting this blog. Yes, my own blog. BUT the blog will NOT be closing down.

I am handing it over to Arianna. She is a superb writer and has done a better job with this blog as I writer than I ever did as the owner.

I only hope she will have time and a bit of detication to keep this blog going.

Thank you to all the blogs, etc, that have posted about us or featured us - even if it's only a small mention. It means a lot to me.

Thank you to our very small fan base, unfourtunately it stayed small because I never put forth much effort to make this blog 'famous', but that could all change with Arianna as the new owner, she has impeciable talent and so forth.

And now, I must say good-bye XX

Star Awards Are Back

2009-11-01T13:16:00.000-05:00

The nominations have already started in club SAanniversary - so go get your nominations done, people! Nominations only last untill the 17th, so hurry, hurry, hurry :)

Fierce Magazine: Latest Issue

2009-11-01T13:13:00.000-05:00

The latest issue of Fierce Magazine was released just the other day. As always, it is beyond amazing. This has got to be one of the top three best magazines on Stardoll right now. Hunnigall has out-done herself once again. You should definitely check this magazine out.

A Fake Among Us?

2009-10-25T18:33:00.000-04:00

Read this post on TylerIsBold's blog to get the very shocking story: The Stardoll Freakshow

Eternity Making A Comeback?

2009-10-24T18:39:00.000-04:00

Could the very famous Eternity Magazine, (http://eternitymag.wordpress.com/), be returning to the Stardoll magazine scene? Mary (writemarycat) posted this on her presentation:

If I remember correctly, those girls were the staff of Eternity. Hm....
So could Eternity be soon making it's return? Or is this something else entirely? That's for you to decide.

I Want My 1SD Back

2009-10-24T18:36:00.001-04:00

I'm not even going to explain this one. But you can check out the blog here: http://iwantmy1sdback.blogspot.com

I am following this blog and do, kinda support it. I guess. Whatever.

Poseur; Sep/Oct 2009

2009-10-14T16:38:00.001-04:00

The September/October 2009 issue of Poseur Magazine was released this week. This also happens to be the Anniversary issue of Poseur, so happy birthday to Poseur! :)

This magazine doesn't have the best graphics around the Stardoll magazine world. But it does have good, regular features, articles, and sections. And it's a magazine that is really a girl's girl magazine. Made for teens. It reminds me a lot of Seveteen magazine, actually. In fact, it reminds me of my own magazine, Poison; back when Poison first started over two years ago.

All in all, this is a good magazine to read if your more interested in the articles than you are in the graphics; although, I do have to admit the graphics are getting slightly better each issue.

Good job to the people who work on Poseur, congrats to this issue's covergirl, and thank you to Poseur's owner, worldstopmodel.

You can read Poseur magazine here: http://poseurmag.wordpress.com/

PS: Fun, little tid-bit for you all. I was the one who named Poseur! Cool, huh? Well, to me it is. When the owner was renaming Poseur (it used to be named Giggle Magazine), I was the one who suggested the name Posuer. At the time I was obsessed with the book series, Poseur - and still am obsessed. Haha - so that's where the name idea came from.

Pearls or Pigeons

2009-10-03T07:38:00.001-04:00

I'm sure you've heard about this on just about every other blog, meaning, I wont sit here and write some super long post stating things you've already read and know. Here is the link to the official site: http://www.pearlsorpigeons.blogspot.com

The New Limited Edition

2009-09-22T09:06:00.000-04:00

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted. It's been a while since anything has been posted on this blog. I don't know what's up with Alessandra - I just hope she starts posting some more and doesn't close down the blog.
Anyway, to what this post is about, the new Limited Edition. It's been in stores for like two days now or something like that, but I wasn't on the computer most of yesterday and not at all the day before.

I really love this LE and, like always, wish I could buy at least one piece. But I'm also not going to waste all my stardollars on one or two items or clothing, when instead I could buy dozens.

This has got to be my favorite collection of LE so far and if Stardoll keeps it up I could only imagine how good the next collection will be.

Eccentric's September 2009 Issue

2009-09-09T19:06:00.000-04:00

The September issue of Eccentric Magazine was released today. Vanessa (Star_Awards) has outdone herself once again. This issue of Eccentric was even better than the last one. This issue's very fierce and edgy covergirl was none other than the amazing graphics artist, Hunnigall. The graphics were really well done, the articles were kept short, simple, and yet sweet at the same time. This is definitely a must read magazine.

You can read Eccetric by clicking this link: http://eccentricmagazine.blogspot.com

Bon Appétit Magazine

2009-09-05T20:38:00.001-04:00

Another magazine coming to Stardoll very shortly is Bon Appetit Magazine - in October to be exact. Whether this magazine will be good or bad has yet to be seen, but either way it will go down in Stardoll history as the first gastronomy magazine, ever, on Stardoll. The concept does sound very nice, it's just carrying out the whole idea that needs to be done properly.
This magazine is brought to us by Ms.Brigitte and Theshinystar.

You can check out the magazine's official site here: http://bonappetitmagazine.wordpress.com/
And the official blog for the magazine here: http://stardollbonappetit.blogspot.com/

Different Magazine Spoiler

2009-09-04T20:23:00.000-04:00

Pose: Amazing

Graphics: Perfect

Color Scheme: Wonderful

Over-All Effect: A spoiler that makes me unable to wait for the issue to be released. This is a magazine issue to anticipate for sure.

Fierce Magazine August '09: Review

2009-08-31T16:09:00.001-04:00

The August issue of Fierce Magazine was released yesterday, and I have to say this is one of the best issues of a magazine I have seen in a really long time. As most know, Hunnigall is an amazing graphics artist, so the graphics were simply wonderful. But the articles, unlike many magazines, kept it short and sweet. And oh so interesting, also. The covergirl was Molly, also known as iamyourfat - a very good choice for a covergirl indeed.

All in all this was very refreshing compared to many other Stardoll magazines and I can't wait to see the next issue of Fierce.

A Very "Fierce" Party!

2009-08-29T10:18:00.001-04:00

Cupcake Purse?...Or Cupcake Purse?

2009-08-27T22:25:00.001-04:00

Um...yeah, so now Stardoll is selling doubles of the Hot Buys cupcake purse. This time for the exact same price. Wow...'nough said.

Calling It Quits

2009-08-27T21:58:00.000-04:00

It seems that there is some trouble admist yet another Stardoll relationship. This time between d-lister's xxdrivebylove and Bret.Guy. Or do they even make it to the d-list? Are they lower than that? I can never quite keep up with this stuff.

Anyway, sorces close to Lindsay say she has been avoiding Bret for a while now, but Bret just won't let Lindsey go. Even going far enough to leave a message in her guestbook basically stating they need to talk (Seen in the first image above).

And on Bret's presentation his relationship status is quote-unquote "complicated" (Seen in the second image above). Can these two work it out? Or will this be another dead end Stardoll relationship? God, I hope so. Stardoll dating is getting a little old.

PS: Did anyone even know they were dating? I sure as hell didn't untill a few weeks ago.

Rachel Ray Doll

2009-08-27T15:42:00.000-04:00

Do I even need to state how fugly this doll is? That is like the scariest face I've seen on a Stardoll in months now. Stardoll's standerds are definitely slipping.

Also, thanks to Arianna for making my banner since I didn't have time. Orginal graphic is from the blog Stardoll Prefects.

Where Art Thou, Alessandra?

2009-08-26T00:57:00.000-04:00

Am I the only one who noticed Less has only posted in this blog, like, one time? And it's her blog, too. She hasn't been on Stardoll in a couple of days either.

I hope this wont be a regular happening. I already have enough resposibilities with my own blogs, I don't want to be the only one posting or taking care of this one aswell.

Less better get the hell on and do some freaking posting before I get peeved about being the only person posting on this blog. Especially since she hasn't yet hired any new writers.

Hot Buys Shirt Glitch

2009-08-26T00:52:00.001-04:00

Upon going to the Starplaza like I do every time I log onto Stardoll I noticed this Hot Buys shirt for sale. And did something of a double take when I saw the same shirt for sale for two different prices. One for 8 stardollars, the other for 12. I, of course, bought the one for 8, not really seeing any point in wasting four more stardollars than needed. If anyone is planning on buying this Hot Buys shirt I would suggest doing it now before Stardoll fixes the glitch or whatever.

My New Banner

2009-08-23T05:09:00.000-04:00

Pointless post, but I just wanted to share my new banner with you all. Obviously the original graphic is from Stardoll Prefects (http://stardollprefects.blogspot.com/), as stated in the actual banner.

THIS BEAT IS SICK,
Arianna

September Hot Buys: Review

2009-08-20T18:48:00.000-04:00

Bisou Beret: I love studs on this beret. Don't know if I'll actually be able to pair it with any outfits I can think of, but as an individual item it's nice.

Fudge Heart-Print Scarf: Cute. Maybe a little too cute for my taste. I think it would work better for the Spring months, not the Autumn ones. Stardoll should have released this a few months ago.

Fudge "Miami" Top: Not my style. That's all I have to say, it's a simple as that.

Pretty In Pink Purse: It's okay. Again, don't know if I really have any outfits to go with this, but it's okay overall.

Evil Panda Dot Dress: I love this dress. It is my favorite item of this month's hot buys for sure. I can't wait to buy it when it's released.

Evil Panda T-Shirt: This is another one of the favorite items. It's simple, but sometimes I really like simple the best.

Candie's Fringe Bag: Don't really think I'll use this one much, but I can picture a few outfits it would go perfect with.

Bisou Dress: It seems very shapeless, like wearing a paper bag. I think it's one of those many items I'll have to see on my medoll first before I decide whether it's worth the stardollars or not.

Fudge Tights: This it totally me in a way. Very crazy and loud. I would even wear those in real life. I can already picture the perfect dress to wear those tights with.

RIO Coat: This is my second favorite item of this month's hot buys. I've always loved animal print, so this is right up my alley. Chic and simple, but a statement piece all at the same time.

Pretty In Pink Sandal: This is another one of those items I love. Not my favorite, but not bad either.

Arianna...Bringing the Good Stuff Back

2009-08-17T22:26:00.000-04:00

So, yeah, I'm Arianna obviously. My Stardoll account is ariannacarle and I have no problem with letting people know I'm writing for this blog and will be dishing out some dirty gossip about my fellow Stardollians.

I prefer to be called Ari, and I still don't even know how in the world that nickname got started - one of my close Stardoll friends started calling me that and now basically everyone knows me as Ari.

I've known this blog was going to start for quite some time now and as soon as I heard about it I practically begged for a writing spot - and only because I j'adored the blog's name. Haha!

How did I know this blog was going to start? Because none other than one of my close Stardoll friends decided to start it. That's right, the owner of this blog is very close to me online. But, I'm of course, going to respect her wishes to remain secretive in what her Stardoll account name is. Maybe over time I'll convince her to tell everyone who she is on Stardoll, not likely, but I might be able to. Haha.

I think I'll mostly be writing about fashion while writing for this blog because, quite frankly, I'm not very good at getting gossip - I'm just good at reading and spreading it. But maybe if I find out some juicy gossip I'll decide to post about it.

I guess that's my very boring and annoying blog intro post thingy majig. I know people usually hate introductions about blog writers, but I was told by Less that I am required to write one.

GLAM UP GUNS DOWN,

Ari

Welcome, Pretties

2009-08-17T21:50:00.000-04:00

Hello and welcome to Bitten & Bound, Stardoll's newest gossip, fashion, and everything else blog. Thisblog will mostly focus on gossip, but I wanted to make it about everything just in case gossip became slow again in the Stardoll world; like it has alot in the recent months.

And yes, I do have a Stardoll account. In fact, I've had this account for quite some time now. Due to the fact I'll be airing people's dirty laundry I do not wish to share this account with everyone reading this blog - let's face it, no one wants to have the virtual shit beat out of them when they start telling people's secrets to the world.

I am already on the search for people to write for this blog, and will have chosen the other writers soon, untill then you all are stuck with just me as a writer.

As you may have guessed from my banner and my Blogspot account my name is Alessandra Monroe, and no that is not my real last name of course.

I'd prefer if people call me 'Less. It's been my nickname in real life since I was young and I'm just used to everyone calling me Less.

So, there is the introduction, welcome, or whatever the hell you want to call it.

XOXO, Less
