Barbie Games and Toy Story 3

Am I the only one interested to see what comes of the Barbie and Ken relationship in Toy Story 3? I saw a better preview for the new movie today and it looks like Barbie games will be definitely playing a part in the story line. Of course we all remember Barbie from the second toy story when she joined the cast, but now that the toys are older and wiser, Barbie finally gets to meet Ken.

In the first round of previews for the new film, it looks like everything is rosy between Barbie and Ken. They flirt, there’s a dream sequence part and they compliment leg warmers and ascots. But today I saw something a bit different. Apparently Ken isn’t a good guy in the movie. He appears to be one of the major players in a poker ring and in trying to harm Andy’s toys. At one point it even showed Barbie attacking Ken by yanking off the once celebrated ascot. It goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyhow),this is going to be a fun flick this summer.

Barbie Games for Summer

Now that the warm summer months have finally arrived, it’s time to do something special. Why not take some time this summer to break away from the Barbie games you’ve always played and try something new online. Barbie games online are vast and varied and there are thousands of sites and games dedicated to letting you dress up Barbie in all of the newest styles and more than a few old favorites as well.

To play the Barbie games, you’ll start with a doll base. The base looks astonishingly like a real Barbie in most cases. Your job is then to pick through the large collection of clothing and accessories available to the Barbies and pull some outfits together. It will be a bit of trial and error as you work to find what looks good and suits your taste, but eventually you’ll find the right mix and then you can proudly display your work. You can call over a friend to check it out. In some cases you can save the doll to your computer as an image file to be used as an avatar or other image. You might just print out the doll and stash her in a notebook full of your creations to be admired on a rainy day as you think about your future career in fashion.

Barbie Games and Babysitting

It’s amusing really, but I’ve never played as many Barbie games in my life as I get to when I’m babysitting. It’s a true Barbie games phenomenon. I think the reason every little girl I babysit gets excited about playing Barbie games with me, the older, wiser babysitter is that I’m not her mother and I’m not her own age. I’m in between – a teenager ready to impose real fashion wisdom and advice. The fact that I’m just someone new to play with certainly doesn’t hurt either.

I remember growing up and getting excited at the idea of a babysitter coming over to play with us. We’d make plans for all of the exciting games we’d enjoy with the grown-up teenager, and I’m reasonably sure that’s what I’m experiencing today. The girls I babysit think I’m cool and that I’m a great person to play Barbie games with. I, for one, am not going to bust their bubble by letting them know about my fashion weaknesses. Instead I’ll be wise, savvy and fashion-forward, so long as I have a Barbie outfit to show for it.

Barbie Games: Life in Plastic Heels

What would it be like to live life in plastic heels? I have a fondness for cute shoes, but even at my most fashionable I’d never be in heels as much as the Barbie games seem to be. Even fashion models are not in heels often. But outside of just the uncomfortable nature of the shoes, there is a lot to say about Barbie and her lifestyle.

I can’t imagine the scrutiny of living her life. Barbie is the most iconic woman in the world. Everyone knows who she is and how she is supposed to look. She’s never gained any weight and she’s only changed her hairstyle once or twice in her lifetime. Barbie has an impressive wardrobe, but I wonder if she ever gets a chance to really just cut loose and relax with friends. I image being one of the most famously beautiful women in the world would severely cramp your casual image. But then, if I’d been around fifty years, I’m reasonably sure I’d just start making my own rules at some point. And I’d start with a pair of adorable plastic flats.
