Stardoll Heaven | Star Doll Heaven | www.stardoll.com

A stardoll is a virtual representation of a star in cartoon form. These dolls can be dressed up according to your preferences and you can choose to mix and match their apparel from the collection that is given to you. The site works with a doll that figures in the center and a clothes rack beside the doll. The doll is presented to you in his/her underwear which is modest and plain. You can choose from a whole host of apparel to dress the doll in. The range is gender appropriate and for girls you are provided with skirts, pants, tops, wigs, boots and even accessories. For the guys, you get the relevant clothing but you may also avail of jackets and caps. Accessories like belts and sunglasses are also usable and enhance the appearance of the star’s avatar. The site has been created with the dressing habits of individual stars and the clothes that you are given to use for each are the clothes that they would generally be seen in.

The range that is available for each star comes in sizes that suit them to perfection. Say for instance a vest for Brad Pitt or a skirt for Brooke Hogan. There’s even the all too familiar ‘bling’ that is used by certain stars, in this case rap and hip hop stars. But ‘bling’ can also be found in Ryan Seacrest’s wardrobe. So the site has added upon intuition, accessories and garments, as it thinks fit, which would enhance the avatar of a star.

The dolls however do not look too real and sometimes do not even resemble the stars themselves. It appears that the creators have a few stereotypes which they tweak ever so marginally to fit the image of a star.
