In contrast to some other children's virtual worlds I've visited, Stardoll allows kids to build their own scenery and background stories. Instead of a rigid restaurant scene, they can concoct their own eatery. My only complaint is that the sole drink option was a mixed cocktail. Couldn't they have gone with a bottle of soda?
