The man almost lost an net miracle this twelvemonth . About a calendar month ago , Blingeeannounced project to close , but the userswouldn’t let it . The news made one middle - ripened Russian grandma , the unofficial queen of Blingee , very happy .
Irina Vladimirovna Kuleshova , a divorced orthodontist , turns 50 in a duet of months . She ’s one of the most popular and successful artists on Blingee , the seizurecore WWW 1.0 image - create inspection and repair . Pioneering last artist and academic Olia Lialina interview Kuleshova after Blingee died and came back to life . The conversation — which can be read in full on this Geocities protection site — is fantastic and will teach you how to become Blingee royalty yourself .
The now - renovated WWW service enables you to make enliven GIFs out of a combination of so - bid “ seal ” which , when combined , create spectacular collages that oft sport shimmering diamonds and sparkly stars . The sequent “ Blingees ” are appropriate for anything from passion notes to tributes . Kulshova explains :
It is in the spirit of Blingee to share your felicity and your sorrow . pic of weddings , photos with child and grandchildren … obituaries are very common .
Kulshova made this memorial for one of her friends on Blingee :
But it ’s not all grim :
We are here to be friends , not to talk about politics . It ’s all about holiday : Easter , Christmas , Independence Day , International Women ’s Day . I have Ukrainians in my rophy , but we never peach about what ’s happening there powerful now , about the government …
If you become democratic on Blingee , you need to create stamps that other user lend to their Blingees . The more Blingees , the more achievement points . Creating a stamp that ’s used on 100,000 Blingees will earn you a gold stamp . Kulashova has n’t quite ascended to that level , but she ’s knead hard now that she ’s divorced :
I ’m a free woman now . My daughter is grown up , I get hitched with Blingee . All my free time I make blingees or I think about a new trick that would make my pictures more alive , or I see a new cool postage and think how to make an even well one .
to make those stamps spread , Kulashova says you have to gain competitions like “ Best Couple , Best Pet , and Best Boyfriend . ” The formula for achiever is straight forwards :
You do n’t need a masterpiece to get ahead there . So my advice — use your photograph as the scope , put “ right ” and your hula - hoop little girl over it , some star , some coruscation — and the first prize is yours , maybe not in the first calendar week , but attempt two , three times and you will be noticed !
AND ! TAGS !
So what are you wait for . Go forth and create GIFs . Blingee ’s daylight may or may not still be numbered . But Blingee glory is forever .
