The site offers two main areas. The first can be accessed without registering to Stardolls. You can pick a celebrity, e.g. Johnny Depp, Kylie Minogue or Heidi Klum and use a wardrobe to outfit them. If you take Johnny you could dress him with the same clothes that he was wearing in the movie The Pirates of the Caribbean or with a multitude of other clothes.

You can customize eyes, noses, hair and a lot more and the dolls can be designed to resemble people that you know. Take a look at the benefits of membership:

You do receive 25 so called Stardollars which can be used to shop for new clothes in the Stardoll shop. More dollars can only purchased which is the only obvious way that I could find how the site owners create money from the site.

I think that even grown ups will have fun playing around with all the possibilities at Stardolls. And hej, all celebrity dolls are shown wearing only their pants at the beginning ;)
