Barbie Games and Brunettes


It’s funny if you think about it. Of all the various Barbie dolls available in the toy stores, there are probably two brunettes for every blonde beauty. So why do we insist and picture Barbie as a blonde? It is the Barbie movies that have made us convinced that Barbie is really a blonde? I guess this could very well be the case.

It may also be true that the actual doll named Barbie is, in fact, a blonde. But what about all of those other dolls who have darker hair? If you do a bit of research, it turns out that most of those dolls aren’t actually named Barbie. Most of them are Barbie’s friends and they have their own names and special elements. But the point remains – when we think about playing Barbies, why do we immediately assume we’re playing with a blonde doll? I, for one, have always enjoyed the darker haired dolls more anyhow.

Barbie Games Basics


Barbie games are simple to understand. If they weren't, the Barbie games wouldn't be a favorite of little girls for more than fifty years now. With the classic Barbie dolls, girls can get the dolls dressed up in their favorite fashions and styles. They can move the dolls around the giant Barbie dream house and drive her around in the pretty pink car. But there is much more to do with Barbie games that doesn’t involve quite so much in the way of large plastic stuff.

Some of the best Barbie games are online. Online Barbie games are simple to play, just like the regular versions. If anything, they are even simpler. In a Barbie game, the doll stands at the ready in some basic underclothes. The rest of Barbie’s clothing is off to the side, and you simple drag and drop the items you’d like Barbie to wear onto her body. The online Barbie games are essentially a virtual paper doll, and dressing up Barbie this way is not only easier than the classic dolls, but there is a much greater variety as well.
