Today for free stuff we are having the International Women's Day items.
It's sort of nice from stardoll, but WHY AREN'T THIS INTERNATIONAL? WHY AGAIN THOSE ITEMS ARE FOR PARTICULAR COUNTRIES ONLY? :( I'm mad at stardoll about this.
Anyways the most of the countries get the plain t-shirt only for entering those quiz contests but as I checked - from entering Russian contest you can get the flowers instead of tee.
So here are the contest links for different countries -
For tee:
For flowers:
(correct me if there is any other country with flowers as giveaway)

*Not posting proxies, why? Read HERE. So it's up to you if and where you find them.
And I must tell you - this might be my last post here.
Sooner or later this day had to come. I was sure that I will post as long as it will be useful. And my posts no longer will be. As I saw in last free stuff post by Sara, now most of readers are going to never use proxies even if the freebies will be nice in their opinion, so it ends with the question - why should I post?
As you noticed I was welcomed here as free stuff writer, but now as no one no longer will need the stuff for particular countries (when the most of us needed to use a proxy) there won't be need to post. Of course, I have to agree many of free items are useless and it will be easy to give them up, but still - then why bother posting here? So I could always read the bad feedback with how useless my post was? No, thanks.
It's my personal opinion - but I don't see anything wrong in using web proxy sites. You might think that manuals are safer? Once I messed my laptop with Brazil [I think] manual, my IP remained that proxy even after turning off and my internet was messed for days, so after that I no longer tend to use manuals. Though maybe it was something else, who knows, but I don't think proxies are stardoll hackers thing, otherwise A LOT of accounts would have be hacked, and please - it's not that easy to make a proxy, (if it was, I would make few for countries to which I never can find working proxies :D too bad I'm not a pro)
IF JUST STARDOLL MADE ALL CONTESTS/CAMPAIGNS/CLUBS/CINEMA VIDS/ECT AVAILABLE FOR ALL COUNTRIES, there would be no problems. If stardoll staff actually cared about us, NOT getting hacked, NOT getting viruses and NOT wasting our time (while on slow proxies) they WOULD MAKE IT REAL. But do they care? They care only about money, some of proxies now even have stardoll adds, why? Because they have seen that many of their users visit stardoll and now as thanks-for-giving-us-more-visitors they pay stardoll for it. So our using proxies makes more money to stardoll, so they probably will never make this fair and for all.

*I just had to say it.
Thanks for reading (if you did) and well I hope y
Ruth,
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you that I think you are taking this the way.
I think it is still good to know what items are available for free and for what country. The people in those countries can get it and those who are not can easily search other blogs or the web.
So I think your take on the situation is a bit too severe. I understand what you mean, but you are still very useful to us.
Please though discuss it with me if you wish to leave not on the blog. I wish you all the best and hope you stay for as long as we are here.
Ohh :S
ReplyDeleteI never used proxies anyway :/
I agree with Jenna. I've never ever had a problem with any proxy, manual or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad that the crappy comments from people have gotten to you. Most of us really do appreciate all that you have done, and will continue to do, I hope.
Thanks you :D
ReplyDeleteI agree it is extremely unlikely that your stardoll will get hacked because you used a proxy.
ReplyDeleteIf you decide not to post any more free things, your posts about new stores and spoilers etc. are always nice to read.
Don't worry we understand Jenna! we do not need free items, this blog does not need it is great even without proxy! Thank you for the great job you do every day and sorry for my bad English. ^ ^
ReplyDeleteThose are cute but I too wish SD would make all the free stuff available to all members.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't leave as I've always admired your post and even if I no longer use proxies it's still fun reading over posts and seeing what free stuff IS available.
I've never had an issue with proxies but I'm being careful now because I really don't want to get hacked.
what's the matter?
ReplyDeleteContinued from comment I just made, I now understand what you mean some of those comments yesterday were so harsh, ignore them they're silly, if Jenna could ignore some of the comments made yesterday about her change in competitions I'm sure you can ignore them too.
ReplyDeleteError from previous 'the comment above' did not save incase you're wondering.
ReplyDeleteI dont think u should stop putting up proxies because for some of us u are useful especially to me i come to your blog every single day !! I love it here .... I get a lot of free stuff soo to me please dont stop and please dont leave the blog im soo happy i found u im gonna be posting this as anonymous but my name is alana and my stardoll name is cutielana_Boo hope u visit *mwaahh* Please put back up proxies pleaseeee :(
ReplyDeleteI don't really like the stuff but yay! Woman day :P
ReplyDeleteI just used the proxy you posted on your site to get the flowers.
ReplyDeleteFrankly I agree with you. Why keep posting about free items in this blog if you can't get to then?
It's like looking at something you can never have - like, licking the picture of a delicious looking ice-cream, not really the same thing right?
I'm not going to say proxies aren't dangerous, they can be but you can also take some precautions - have an up-to-date anti-virus program, do not click on any link provided by or in the proxy website (like ads and pop-ups) and log in, get the stuff and log out, close proxy site web page.
Whatever you decide Ruth, I'll keep following your work be either here or at your own blog site.
Jenna said it herself, it wasn't from a proxy site the hacker got her password...
Stardoll needs to put our money to good use and invest in protecting their users!!!
thankss!!
ReplyDeletePlease don't go, Ruth! You can still post about the free items for other countries without posting proxies. I'm sure it helps a lot of people!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the tip [: I got them!
I agree with Ruth about the free items! If they are available for every we won't have problem!
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to leave this blog!
We love you and you are very useful to us!!
i'm okay with jenna
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have the t-shirt already though. And please don't leave, you are useful to SMW! I like seeing what free items other countries have, and if I am really impressed with them, then I'll have a nosy around on the internet to see proxies. :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it's really stupid that this competition isn't available for all countries, I mean, there are women all over the world not just in few of those countries... I was looking for this comp in my country but it isn't there... :(
ReplyDeleteAs for your decision to leave, I don't think you should. Your posts have always been great and you can still inform peple about free stuff. Those who can enter the contest will be happy to know what could they win ;) As for those rude comments, there will always be people who will talk trash about you or your posts, but they are just jelaous of you and you shouldn't pay attention to them. Instead, think of all those people who like you and your posts and who would be very sad if you left. ;)
That's so like stardoll. International, seriously? :| Well I'm not getting them since they are not available for my country.:[
ReplyDeleteI always use proxy and I don't think I understand this(I am from Turkey-I know english for 7 years but...)I need to say I have never have a problem with proxy and I think I am going to send message to Stardoll about free things(I couldn't get flower)Message will be about free things they are just making free things for some countries -I think this is a bad thing about Stardoll(Is Stardoll get money from proxies when we use them?)Anyway Stardoll still have bad things-This is my opinion.-I always look at your frees and I don't want you to go-If you write in here I will be happy because you are a good writer.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes,iremsu-alara
I have the t-shirt and I'm portuguese. All contests that work in Brazil, they work in Portugal, too ;P
ReplyDeletei think you're right. it is up to us to decide if we use a proxy or not and it is up to us if we use them for every freebie we see or just fot those we really like (wich i do) wich is in my opinion only a very small number of the free things. on the other hand after all what happend it is understandble that the owner of this blog has made this decision and i personly don't think this makes you useless no it only makes your work a bit harder. you have to find the free staff you want to post about on an other blog (wich tells where to find the proxy you need) an post the link of this blog under your post instead of posting a proxy link so why do you have to leave ? don't give up this fast. times will change
ReplyDeleteThanks for te good items, but why you saying that? it'snot your last post.. you will be hear always I honestly love your osts and it's always was the best, not becuase that all of your posts about free items.. and ya know, most of the free things are available for USA or UK and most of the folowers are from USA or UK so... think about it, and i hope i will see another post for you sooner!
ReplyDeleteIn light of the recent hacking problems and Stardoll security problems, Operation: Stardoll Fightback has begun.
ReplyDeleteWe are fighting for all those who have been ignored and mistreated by Stardoll.
We want better security for our accounts that we spend our hard earned money on!
Please come help this cause out!
http://operationstardollfightback.blogspot.com/
Don't leave! :(
ReplyDeleteNice thanks.
ReplyDeleteBut please don't leave SMW!
Anakonda that is so not true about your analogy to ice cream.I mean come on.....most people that read this blog read many others like Ruth's or USD's or whatever.
ReplyDeleteYou could be reading here and see oh there is a new free item. I like it....
Then how difficult is it to torn over to Ruth's or somewhere else and get the proxy info if youbreally want it. I mean there everywhere. Practically every blog on Stardoll posts about them!!! Not that hard to get your hands on.
Also no a good anti virus or clicking on ads is not def going to keep you from getting a virus.
I got one a couple years ago from a proxy. I have a top of the line anti virus and a back up and other security items. I never clicked on any ads and got a bad virus.
The thing about virus's is that they are always changing and No anti virus software can catch them all.
Anyway awhile ago there was also a well known user who hacked people by proxy. She created her own and posted it in her free stuff post. It hated a few people. Later she claimed that she was hacked and the hacker made that post. Anyway... The point is it can be done.
Also RUTH don't let the rude comments bother you. I know it can be discouraging...believe me. These anon people who did this are just cowards a miserable with their own life so they must try to hurt others. Don't let them win their little games. Talk to me on Stardoll.
ReplyDeleteDon't leave ruth, there are so much other things you can post about. I think you are very useful to us!
ReplyDeletethere must b something else u can post about on this blog.
ReplyDeletei agree with you, but i'll miss your posts =/ stardoll is so unfair
ReplyDeleteplase dont stop posting the free stuff and the proxies °_°
ReplyDeleteI think you can keep writing about the freebies, it doesn't matter if anyone gets it! Like LE, not everyone gets it and everyone still talks about them (:
ReplyDeleteaw, well i always loved your posts!
ReplyDeleteI think your opinion is right in some way...
ReplyDelete...now Jenna got hacked i don't want to use proxies any more...but on the otherhand i think the free items were the only fair thing about stardoll...(and of course sometimes they are nice :)) Stardoll just always TAKES our money and this was one way of giving something back...and now this option is also gone...
I am very sad and a little bit angry about this! And also about the fact that stardoll also makes money trough making it necessary for us to use prxies.
So I have to think about it, if I can go on spending real money on this and support this site.
-And also I want some kind of resistance to this^^ because of US this site exists! -And I think we can protest for some changes!! Please call for something like this!! Just like not visiting the page for one week/no spending money for one week. anything like this :)
ughh why can't they make it available for all countries :/
ReplyDeleteVery unfair.=/
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jenna! We love having you on the blog, please do not leave us! :'(
ReplyDeleteYou can't leave this blog,you are completely awesome!Well who cares if I can't have those stuff,someone else can and I think you should stay here because YOU ARE NOT USELESS!!!
ReplyDeleteSadFace :(
ReplyDeletePlease don't go! Even though we aren't using proxies we still like to see the free items so please stay !!
ReplyDeleteThe items are nice..I guess ;P
ReplyDeleteOh Ruth I love your posts you put up lots of free things and not many writers would bother to look up the link for so many contests to get free itmes. The list is huge and it is so admirable you did.
ReplyDeleteEven if they no longer want free things posted I am sure Jenna will give you another job xx
Stardoll DOESN'T get money from ads on the proxies, the proxies do. And stardoll doesn't get any extra money on advertising on proxies because many proxy users already are members on stardoll. Those stardoll ads come from GOOGLE, where companies can pay and they show ads on the side of the page when searching on google and blogs if the blogs have chosen to show ads on their webpage.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know!!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate what she does for us, but i'm not one of those people that is going to take forever to do the proxies.
ReplyDeleteSorry she feels this way.
Please don't leave. Its fine, I never use proxies anyway!!
ReplyDeleteTHxx for the flowers and the shirt
ReplyDeleteValentine’s Day is indeed a special day to celebrate love. The celebrations are incomplete without flowers. Gifts for someone you love could be just about anything, but on Valentine’s Day they are complemented with a bunch of valentine flowers.

It’s really an amazing thing to be able to have a good range of one’s to choose when it is regarding a gift idea with blooms, a person seriously does have a large number of choices.
ReplyDeleteThis rose is the most popular and probably the most beautiful rose. There are indications that this rose is nearly 35 million years old. It can be planted and grown anywhere in the world. It is the known as the queen of roses and is the symbol of love. However, it also sends the message of passion and respect.
