Canadian designer Pat McDonagh's Dare to Wear Love sketch stolen for use in a Stardoll contest

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.
