Barbie Games Live On

I think Barbies will live on with Twinkies and roaches after civilization is destroyed. I mean how can Barbie be destroyed? She’s reigned as the queen of all fashion toys – arguably all toys – for half a decade and she’s not showing any signs of weakness moving into the next decade. Barbie is a tough cookie and she’s ready to take whatever the world can throw at her. Her improved plastic body and ready smile can certainly take her places and that just might be her saving grace.

How many time capsules can you even presume that Barbie is part of? She’s likely buried in the earth countless times as part of a child, class or community’s time capsule and someday when we’re gone and those few survivors are looking for tokens of the past, they will have a large supply of Twinkies, some roaches to share them with and of course more than a few Barbie dolls to play with. I will say this – after leaving one of my Barbies in a box in the attic for years in the hot summers, I’ll be willing to bet that the Barbie games that live on for decades will be missing their hair, but who needs hair in a few centuries?

Barbie Games and Glam

The Barbie games have definitely added a bit of glam to an otherwise basic fashion doll kingdom. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always adored Barbie games, but I like the new pink and black thing that the dolls are doing and I like the glamorous rooms of furniture and accessories you can now get for the Barbie dream houses. Barbies are big business of course, but they needed something new and different to pick them up again from the basic doll and outfit they were becoming.

The pink and black line of furniture and accessories is packaged one room at a time. I personally like the box of bathroom furniture. I mean really – how can Barbie get ready for a date with that stud, Ken, if she hasn’t had a proper soak in the tub and a chance to go potty before hand? I love the large soaking tub they include for Barbie and the other vintage styled accessories. Personally I love them primarily because I’d like to have them in my own home, but I digress. Any way you slice it, Barbie and her dream home are looking great now thanks to these new pink and black packages.

Barbie Games and Friendship

I’ve cemented many a friendship over Barbie games. The games are simple enough, with fashionable clothing options and lovely Barbie hairstyles to play with online. The games are easy enough to play that there’s almost no learning curve and you don’t even have to be with your friends to play the games together.

Here’s an example of how my friends and I would play the Barbie games. In our group of three or four friends that tend to enjoy Barbie games, one of us will send out a challenge to the others on a social networking site or through email or such. Then we’d get busy creating a doll to match the challenge. One week the challenge was to create a red design. The next week was to create a princess design. The week after that was to create the most outlandish design ever. When we’d finish our design, we’d send the completed Barbie games to each other to “judge” and laugh over. It’s a fun way to keep in touch without tons of heart-to-hearts.

The Secret of Barbie Games

Barbie games are astonishingly simple, but that doesn’t keep them from being wonderfully entertaining as well. Barbie games are not as well-known as their fashionable counterpart the Barbie dolls, but online Barbie games have quite a bit to offer the young fashionista. Barbie games are easy to play – you start with a doll base and add clothing and accessories until you have a lovely, stylish, beautiful creation worthy of a fashion catalog.

But the real secret of the Barbie games is how immensely satisfying the games can be. When you play with the online Barbie dolls, it’s hard to not hearken back to your youth when you played with the dolls all of the time. If you were anything like me, you had more than a few Barbie dolls and enough Barbie clothing to max out the closets of the dream house – if it had closets, which mine did not. So when you sneak onto the online Barbie games, you’re getting a little taste of what it’s like to play the games again – quickly, easily but with just as much fun as you had years ago.

Celebrating Barbie Games

There are only so many truly enjoyable activities online, and Barbie games are one of them. The Barbie games I enjoy are in essence dress up games and have all the trappings of fashionable elements. To play Barbie games, you need only a bit of creativity and fashion sense – or really just creativity. The fashion sense may come in time.

Start your Barbie games will start with a girl ready to be dressed. She might even be missing her hair. Give her a hairstyle you like and see how she looks. Don’t like it? Give her another one and she’ll look lovely. Then you move on to her clothing items. Pull together a nice look using the huge number of shirts, skirts and dresses they have and then enjoy showing her off.

Showing off your creation can take many forms. You can show her off by printing her out and showing her to friends or emailing her directly to them. You might opt to post your new creation on a message board or forum or perhaps enter her into a competition. You never know – you might just win!
