EDIT: (Dec 15, 2009) A Stardoll member says afia14 has been removed from the contest. I haven’t heard anything officially from Stardoll.com
About a week ago I started to receive comments about Stardoll.com and this user afia14 who stole my designs for a contest. I was very confused. I checked Stardoll.com out and it was a paper doll site. A link in the comments brought me to afia14’s horrible profile page. I was still confused.
It took a few more comments for me to get it straight. Stardoll.com was having a contest where you could win $400 dollars in game dollars. All you had to do was submit a clothing sketch. Afia14 decided that Pat McDonagh’s Dare to Wear Love sketch was great and submitted it as her own. Yup, kinda moronic.
I wasn’t going to get involved. I told the kids that were members to report her. I wasn’t going to saying anything publicly but then someone left the a link to the Stardoll Design Contest page.
Afia14’s submission was #1. I had to act now. I sent an email to Stardoll.com using their online form. I let them know that this person is cheating like she’s Tiger Woods or something (I know, I HAD to go there). I send links to my blog page with the comments and the Stardoll.com contest page.
Just to refresh your memory, Pat’s sketch looks like this.

I haven’t heard back from them yet. If I do, I will update you all.
I want to thank all you commentors too for alerting me. They initially thought I was the creator of Pat’s sketch.
Ahhh so that’s what that was all about. I wonder if Pat really did do that sketch. The drawing, regardless of its provenance, is very odd – its hard to tell if its a front view or a back view.
This is not the first time this will happen and i doubt itll be the last.

Just like the Migliukee scandal.
i wonder if either of them is the real designer…
I’m glad that you post this ^ ^ and yeah it is not the first time and it won’t be the last one.. Those ppl need to find a live.
The prize was not $400 real dollars it was 400 fake dollars in the site which would be like 20 real dolalrs
