Riviera Review: Chilled Down Under

It's winter, I have a cold, and it's 6 degrees  (42.8 f) Celsius right now.

So the last thing I want to be doing is running around in the teeniest bikini I can. Which is what this Riviera collection seems to be suggesting I do.

I get it - more of their customers live in the Northern hemisphere than the South. You can say that for most online games. But that doesn't make me want to review this any more than I did before.

Oh, and you may be noticing a change - I don't usually review stores here! Normally I post on Models.Compy Club blog for these. But lately, they've been spamming the place with bloggers for a day - a nice idea, but they keep writing up reviews of things I'm supposed to be writing about. Some of which magically get deleted or not published, but others of which clash with my own ideas. Which is just inconvenient.

Back to the bikinis. 

What I Don't Understand:

Ok, maybe it's not so much that I don't understand the item, more that I don't understand WHY. 

FLIPPERS. I have so many questions as to what it was about flippers that seemed so fashionable, trendy, and essential to have about flippers. And not just any flippers. SPIDER MAN FLIPPERS. Maybe stardoll really liked the new Tom Holland movie. Or something.

Holographic unicorn swimsuits. This is all the basic internet trends, stuck into a swimsuit. Why, I really don't know. But I might buy it. Maybe.

What I Liked:

Didn't really love anything, so like will just have to do.

Giant. Floaties. I'm personally a little sad there's no unicorn one, but these are great with the way that they are posed on the doll, as well as being very well priced. 

The variety! There's the usual - and practically required - swimsuits, but there's also skirts, wraps, tops, shoes, and even rainbow chokers. 

My Picks:

What I Hated:

Oh my, the interior. It's actually decent looking, if plain, but the price is utterly horrendous. I hope NOBODY in their right minds buys this thing. Or anyone. Ever.

All the oddly textured, flat-chested, boobless items. There's just a total lack of nice shading on too many items. 

Ombre. I just. No. Ombre is over and done and you need to get rid of it ASAP. It's not a thing. Hasn't been for a while. Ditch it. Now.

What's with the weird as goggles? Maybe they're cute for 5 years olds, but it's long since been established that the vast majority of Stardoll users are teens and above. So who are these even aimed at?
