Growing up and coming to terms with your own sexuality can be a complex journey, filled with various moments of realization and self-discovery. For me, it wasn’t until my mid-20s that I fully embraced my identity as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. However, looking back on my youth from my early 30s, I can now see that one of the queerest things I did in middle school was spend hours on a website called Stardoll.

Stardoll, with its pink-hued aesthetic, was a place where I could unleash my creativity and dress up cartoon avatars of celebrities. I vividly remember spending countless hours styling virtual versions of Rachel Bilson, Paris Hilton, Lady Gaga, and others in fashionable outfits. While the concept of dressing up these celebrities in their underwear may sound questionable, for me, it was more about the creative process of putting together unique looks rather than any voyeuristic intentions.

As a closeted tween, I would have vehemently denied any queer undertones to my Stardoll obsession. Instead, I saw it as an opportunity to craft stories and narratives around these famous women. In my mind, I would concoct elaborate scenarios involving Kate Winslet going undercover or Lindsay Lohan excelling in equestrian sports, all while exploring the diverse wardrobe options provided by the site.

The connection between my time on Stardoll and my eventual journey towards embracing my queerness may not have been apparent at the time. However, in retrospect, I can see how my experience with the site nurtured my creativity and imagination. Just as poet Ocean Vuong speaks of queerness as a catalyst for creativity and alternative pathways, my own exploration of identity through Stardoll encouraged me to create stories and narratives as a form of self-expression and companionship.

While my experience as a privileged tween in New York City may differ from Vuong’s, the underlying theme of using queerness as a source of inspiration and creativity resonates deeply with me. In a world where loneliness and self-discovery often go hand in hand, my time on Stardoll allowed me to escape into a realm of imagination and possibility, away from the judgment and scrutiny of my peers.

As I navigate through my early 30s, I can now appreciate how seemingly insignificant moments from my past have shaped my understanding of myself and my identity. Stardoll may have been just a virtual styling game, but for me, it was a stepping stone towards self-acceptance and embracing the beautifully complex journey of coming out and being true to myself.
