First of all, I have to say that I'm very honoured to be one of the 200 beautiful dolls in the MSW 2017 Semifinals. It was tough at times to stay strong and believe I could do it, but thanks to my friends, old and new, I made it.

See, this is my first time running for MSW, and I had in mind that it was a vicious beauty pageant, where dolls would all be selfishly fighting for the crown. What I didn't realize was that the dolls who stand out are the dolls who are kind, taking time to get to know their 'competitors'. When I left meaningful comments in people's guestbooks, they noticed and became my friends, and the sweet personal comments in my guestbook showed me the dolls with whom I would get along.

I've made over thirty new friends this MSW season, twenty of whom are now standing with me in the semifinals. This made me realize that MSW truly exemplifies Stardoll's catchphrase: Fame, Fashion, and Friends. While the first two are important in any MSW campaign, it's the third, Friends, that make the whole experience worthwhile. I'm so grateful for the friends I've made, and it's definitely their everyday support that boosted me into the semifinals.

Even if you didn't make it to the semifinals, I hope you can look back on your campaign experience with happiness, not regret or bitterness. Think of the memories you made, and the friendships you've created. Those are better than any crown.

Til next time!
