Budding Fashion Interns (or Bitchy Bloggers) Come Ready-Made at Stardoll

Online community Stardoll unrolls a virtual red carpet for the Academy Awards. For the teeny bopper demo (or girls at heart like Mariah), Stardoll is a candy-sweet space for creating Oscars-themed scenes with – wait for it – virtual paparazzi and Joan Rivers avatars. It ain’t the Oscars without invasive camera angles and loud blondes straddling perpetual midlife crises so we smile upon the stab at authenticity.

“We hope to usher in a new generation of kids who want to try their hand at fashion in a way that is fun, creative and a bit friendlier than an internship at Vogue,” says CEO Mattias Miksche. After seeing The Devil Wears Prada, we find this noble indeed.

In addition to playing with Oscar nominee avatars and making adamant suggestions about who should win (most favor Kate over Penelope!), girls make their own avatars and craft campaigns to become the next Stardoll cover girl, an honour doled out by the community.

Stardoll stikes us as an awesome resource. While we’d like to suggest it as such, the imagined execution (admen trolling the Pretty in Pink section) is not cute. Resist the urge to channel dormant XX chromosomes. We’re sure you know a little girl you can foist this job upon.

I worked fifty-hour weeks for thirty-five years, retired comfortably at 62, and then sat in my den every morning wondering why the freedom I’d dreamed about felt like solitary confinement — until I realized I had never actually built a life, just a career

I’m in my 50s and I recently apologized to my adult child for something I did when they were twelve. They said they didn’t remember it. The thing that broke me wasn’t their forgiveness — it was learning I’d carried guilt for decades over a wound that only existed in my body.

Research suggests people over 60 who keep an immaculate home but feel chaotic inside aren’t contradicting themselves, they’re compensating — the external order is a containment strategy for internal disorder, and the cleaner the surfaces the more likely it is that something underneath is being managed through control because it can’t be managed through expression

Nobody talks about why turning 60 feels more significant for women than men – it’s the age when culture stops pretending you’re sexually viable and you have to rebuild your entire sense of worth from scratch

I’m 65 and I’ve started just admitting immediately when I forget someone’s name instead of pretending I remember — and what shocked me is how many people say they forgot mine too, and how much lighter the conversation feels when we stop performing perfect recall

I have a perfectly good smartphone with a notes app I know how to use, but every Sunday I still write my weekly tasks on a piece of paper that sits on my kitchen counter — because at 65, I’ve learned that seeing something in my own handwriting makes me accountable to myself in a way a screen notification never could
