Dolly social diary...

Hi girls, how was your long weekend?

How wild and woolly was the weather!! I got home from a weekend in the country with friends and found my outdoor furniture next door! Still, i should be thankful my house wasn't flooded like some of those poor people in Newcastle and Maitland - how horrific. Did you guys have any damage?

On a lighter note, there are a few dates i want you to pop in your diary. We've got so many great DOLLY events coming up and you need to buy the new issue of DOLLY onsale this Wednesday (tomorrow) to score tix. First there's our DOLLY FORMAL on the 5th July. We've got some wicked acts like Dean Geyer, Guy Sebastian, Amy Pearson, Girlband and the Androids performing, plus there are mega prizes to be won and free manicures, makeup and fashion shows.

The next event is the DOLLY TEEN CHOICE AWARDS presented by Target and Maybelline on the 6th sept. If you came or saw pics from last years show, you'll understand why you DEFINITELY need to be there this year.  We're still confirming the bands performing on the night, but let’s just say they're going to be HUGE. Plus you'll get to see all our local Aussie celebs walk the red carpet.

You can win tickets to both events in the new issue onsale this Wednesday 13th June (can you seriously believe we're in June already?!).

Got any stories for me?

xxBron

Hey Bron, I enjoyed the latest issue and can't wait for the Dolly Awards in September, I'll be entering the contest.
 
I was just wondering how come we can't Vote in the awards or am I missing something? I says on the entry form you can vote online, but I can't see where to.
 
Looking forward to the next issue in.......11 days time.
 
Keep up the great issue.

They ALL have a point - Ive just been siting here for the last 5 minutes reading these girls comments and they are all true. We arent all rich and some of us people live out in the middle of no 
where, where the drought is really affecting us. We only have Target,Supre and Diva and your adversting stuff that we cant even afford. WE ARENT on million dollar wages like come on you dont expect us 16yo(or younger) teenages have loads on of money to spend it on $100 pair of shoes or  $150 pair of jeans, with all of our other expences.
 
Im also sick of DOLLY putting non-popular people on the front cover, pick some aussie chicks that are famous orsomeone that is popular here from america or where ever.
 
Also I hate the look, I like the old mag with the spine. Athough DOLLY needs to change whats in the mag, its getting boring and we already know most of the stuff that you put in there. My friend was flipping through the July issue today and she said, what a waste of money there is hardly anything in there, there is most adds about clean and clear and stuff that we already know.
 
well i could probably keep on ranting about it but im going to stop, I think most of us have said our piece. Hopefuly if Bron reads our comments she will POST BACK about them!!!!
 
ps. Havent been on here for awhile - saw the link to Sam Clark's My Space and he sounds pritty good =P - keep up the good work Sam and look forward to hearing some more of your fantasic music =)

hey bron...
my name is georgie, neva left u a comment b4! how exciting is this!!
golly gosh, us girls are getting very bitchy these days..
im a subscriber and i still get freebies, so dont stress!!
if you look inside the july issue off DOLLY you will realise that (page 7- maybe) where its got the "on the cover' thing and all the pages that the cover stuff is on, you will see that it says 'get your happy mood on (something like that anyway) nothing about a free scarf.  so obviously they were going to give us a free scarf but then they didnt, but 4got to take it off the cover!!
 
im loving dolly very much, but it is kinda getting a bit repetative... we need new things!
in the sealed section it tells us stuff that we already know.. we need new things.. lol
can u put some more quizzes in DOLLY, i bought the quizmad book in the hols and i loved it! did the whole thing in a week!!
and when you put fashion ideas in, and outfits that look just like the celebs, can u put clothes in that everyone can buy, coz most of us earn $7 an hour and cant afford $100 shoes! i live in a counrty town and we only have supre, sportsgirl and target, so maybe put some outfits together with those clothes for us...
anyway i love DOLLY very much! hope u read this and get back to me..
love Georgie xox0

I totally agree with sue, emma and maddalena. Reading the comments from the previous blog, they mentioned the same subject. But then you didnt say ANYTHING about it Bron, whats going on? If youre too busy to read them then you may as well not have a blog. I dont mean to sound bitchy, i do love dolly, but i hate being ignored and i reckon the others do as well.

Dolly this month was appaling. I mean SOPHIE MONK on the cover??? What has she done recently?? Oooh she;s Nicole Richie's best friend and Benji Madden's girlfriend, what an amazing thing to achieve in her life. They’re going to break up eventually, like all celeb couples, he is fugly anyway. And plus, she’s not even pretty, she has buck teeth and looks really fake. Why cant you ever have cover girls like Lily Cole, Sophia Bush, Vanessa Hudgens, Kristen Bell, Hayden Panettiere and Alexis Bledel, girls who are actually famous for DOING SOMETHING. The crap inside was amazing, it’s practically the same thing every month. And why do you always have to include the same old celebs like the veronicas, mischa barton, Lindsay lohan, hilary duff, Christina aguilera?? Its pretty frustrating. I mean there are so many readers who give great contributions and you obviously don’t even read them. You don’t mention anything in the blog and you certainly don’t show it in the magazine. Its great that you have a poster of Dean, but it is so lame that you can’t even bother to get a new pic, like you just use the old pic and photoshop the t shirt to become BLUE. God Dolly is so frustrating. I have recently stopped buying Dolly and have bought Girlfriend because it is so much better, cheaper and has more interesting fashion, reads, celebs and beauty.

Also, i completely agree with maddalena about the fashion...
i love the ideas and stuff, buti'm not rich!!
I love the magazine and am costantly sticking up for it on these blogs but i need to know if you're actually reading these comments???
is it because your in a rush that you only post your message and not read ours, or do you read them and not take our advice.
So i hev to tell you, the only two things i'm asking from u are to have the spine back (because i like knowing which month i'm picking up instead of having to search the front and also because it looks nicer on my bookshelf) and to please bring the fashion prices in the magazine down. We're only human and are just tryng to help make the already great mag even better.

Hey guys.
This for the subscribers complaining about the scarf.
Being a subscriber myself, there has only been one time when i have recieved a gift from DOLLY (which was the two lipglosses i emailed bron for). I rang up totalgirl (when i was younger and still subscribing to that) and they told me that there can be two reasons why we don't get freebies. The first is that sometimes it is the supermarkets or newsagency that supplies the givet. and the second reason is that we recieve a discount. but i need to correct to the person who's post is underneath mine i am about to renew my subscription and am going to pay $49.95. So subscribers recieve TWO FREE ISSUES A YEAR!
So be happy with this and if u want a freebie, by individual magazines.
thanx

In relation of Subscribers...
On the DOLLY Website, in the "Subscribers" section, it outlines that those who subscrib recieve a full years' worth of DOLLY magazine (12 issues) for AUS$39.95, rather than the AUS$66 that the rest of us, who purchase our goods from the newsagents have to pay.  Due to this, subscribers recieve a discount of AUS$26.05.  Throughout the year, I'm sure that the amount of free goodies distributed by DOLLY approximate to this amount.  Due to this, I believe that these are the resons WHY SUBSCRIBERS DO NOT RECIEVE the free goodies.
For more infomation on what I have spoekn about, feel free to visit the DOLLY website or contact me @ cozzigirl@hotmail.com.
Later days!
Take care!

i have subscribed to dolly and i get every issue in the mail just coz i love dolly so much!!!!  this issue is just so fantastic i love it so much!
beacuse i get it in the post does that mean i do not get the free scarf?

Ok, say DOLLY run a page on how to get the "Xtina look" - maybe the cheapest items they can find ARE over $100, and that look like Xtina's style.  Also, the fashion may be expensive, but im sure you girls and bright enough and use your god damn common sense to see that you DONT have to buy EXACTLY what is on the page - you improvise!  DOLLY is only providing an outline of the current fashion styles - SHOP! BARGIN! LOOK FOR SALES!  You DONT have to buy the EXACT jacket in the magazine if you find one for $30 cheaper - come on!
Anyways thats my rant;
I think I WILL buy the new DOLLY - sounds fantastic!
Love Emily xox

maddalena ha scritto:
hey bron,
any chance the tix to the formal/teen choice awards will include air fares??? what about events for melbourne/adelaide/brisbane/perth readers?

agree with sue and emma....if you actually read these comments then how come you never mention anything that we say? or ask about potential new features/sections/ideas for the mag? not good form bron.......and you should be aiming to post twice a week, or at the very least, every monday morning when you get to the office.....

i also wanted to ask you something regarding the cover models. you've said before that you buy photos from celebrity agents/photographers, and they do it for the publicity it generates. well, i know that other mags, like cosmo, actually have a shoot with their cover girls and take their own photos. their cover girl feature is also much better - a 3-4 pages interview. as opposed to dolly, who have recently taken to just making up their own stuff - like the recent christina issue, it was pretty much just photos, with a few captions, and what's on her rider. it was a double page spread, but the first page was mostly taken up by a bigger photo. no offence, but i think a lot of readers would probably like a more in-depth feature than that......

also, this has been said before, but the fashion has got to be cheaper!! i mean, come on...using the xtina issue as an example, i'm flipping through and i pick out: three bags that cost $89.95 and one that costs $114.95, shoes ranging in price from $39.95-$195!!! only two pairs between $39.95-$50....$200 dresses.....$160 for a jacket.....$100-$120 for a necklace!!!.....c'mon bron, what's your target reader demographic again? you should be aiming to have most of the fashion under $100, and then a few 'splurge' pieces thrown in, but nothing over $200. do you seriously excect a 16 yr old to be able to afford $200 for a dress? we're not on the oc!

i'd also like to see many more reader letters, and 'reader rants'......

well anyway hopefully the new issue tomorrow will be good :)

i dont mean to sound critical or anything.
BUT i really donty like the new so called "fatter" dolly!
im sorry! but it looks small and doesn't have as much stuff in it..
its like dolly minisize!
it looks like a total girl magazine or one of those types
and makes girlfriend look like a much better read!
just some advice..
PS . why did you have changed it ? is it because its easier? cheaper? what?
 
LOVE HANNAH :)
