Barbie Games and World Fashions

While I wandered down the girl’s pink aisle in the toy store the other day, I was impressed to see so many different kinds of Barbie dolls. Of the various sorts, I was most pleased to see the Barbie games that include the world fashions. The variety of dolls is impressive in its own right, but the costumes that are used for the world fashion Barbie games are very pretty and totally unique from what many of the other Barbie games are wearing these days.

Among the world fashions that I saw on the Barbie games, there were Barbie games from Ireland, Argentina and China. The costumes were all representative of the location, of course, and you can find Barbie in a kimono next to Barbie in a salsa gown. The skin tones and hair color of the dolls seemed to be right on as well for the location they were to represent, which made the dolls that much more appealing to someone interested in true global societies.

Barbie Games and Leg Warmers

It’s winter time – almost – and that means it’s time for my very favorite Barbie look. I like it when Barbie rocks out with her fashions and styles from the 80’s. I especially like it when she’s wearing leg warmers. It’s a safe bet that Barbie games are bringing leg warmers back into style now that we’re back into the styles and fashions of the 80’s, but Barbie is so cool that she was rocking out the leg warmer style when nobody else even had the courage to try it.

The best way to wear leg warmers – if you’re playing Barbie games, of course – is to wear them over high heels. Pull on your leotard and then your swanky leg warmers. Arrange them carefully over your calves and your feet, leaving just the toe of your sassy high heel shoes peeking through to show just how stylish you really are. You work out in high heels! You’re a product of Barbie games for sure!

Katniss Barbie Games

It’s almost sad to consider, but I sincerely want my own Katniss Barbie games. Like so many others, I've loved the Hunger Games from the very early days of the novels. I've read them many, many times – not just by myself but as part of reading groups and clubs, and I enjoy the novel every time I read through it. Now, many people who enjoyed the Hunger Games have been obsessed with all sorts of things from the movie – including Gale and Peeta.

Not me. I love the story, I have the movie and I’m looking forward to watching it at will. But what I really want is the Katniss Barbie. I have no particular reason to want the doll – I just do. I haven’t played Barbie games for well over two decades, but that hasn't stopped me from wanting to collect my own new Barbie games – in particular the fiery-haired hero from the books and movies. Owning the Katniss Barbie games would be simple enough – just buy it at the store. I haven’t actually taken the plunge yet. But perhaps – now that my secret is out – I will do exactly that.

Barbie Games with Ken

One of the most distinctive things I remember about growing up playing Barbie games is how jealous I would get of my sister's Ken doll. She had the Ken doll with the blonde plastic hair while I was stuck with the more stylish. but also more foolish Derek doll. It was the eighties and Derek - at least I think that was his name - ran around with a full head of hair on his head. He had curly hair that I didn't think was particularly attractive. I always preferred Ken's more clean-cut look.

I was sad the day I realized that my mom had cleaned out the closet and given away all of the old Barbie toys. I was able to hang onto a couple of dolls at the time, but I never did see what happened to that Ken doll. Fortunately, I've outgrown my own Ken doll games, but with a niece about the right age, it's only a matter of time before I start buying an entirely new collection of Barbie game and you can be sure that I'll be buying a Ken doll right along with Barbie and her friends.

Barbie Games for School

Looking at the long rows of back to school supplies in the large stores, you can rest assured that Barbie games are doing just fine. How do you know? Why because Barbie games are showing up all over backpacks, lunch boxes and folders. If you can buy Barbie pencils, you can easily count on your favorite Barbie games to be there for you when you need them.

And you may need those familiar Barbie games more than ever as you head back to school this year. Getting in the groove of a new school year can be exhausting, of course, but it’s also a great deal of fun. You make new friends and think of new games to play. But at home, when all of the fun of the day is winding up, you’ll be able to climb in your bed, grab a couple of your favorite dolls and just enjoy the simple peace that Barbie games can bring you.

Barbie Games Goes Drag?

In the world of Barbie games some things we take for granted. Barbie will not have a belly button. Ken will have plastic briefs, and Barbie will always be a girl – or will she? As it turns out the newest Barbie game that is set to be releases is inspired by a man. The Blonds Blond Diamond Barbie is wearing an outfit designed and modeled by Phillipe Blond. As one half of the popular design duo, the Blonds, Phillipe is well known for his beautiful styles and for his love of modeling them as well.

In fact, the dress featured in the latest Barbie games is one that Phillipe has worn – making her look very much like she’s enjoying a bit of drag queen fun these days. Is Barbie a drag queen? It’s reasonably safe to say that she’s not. But hurray for Mattel for bending the rules a bit and changing things up on us. We like nothing better than for our fashion games to keep us on our toes, after all.

Barbie Games and Princesses

Today in the toy aisle of a major store, I was struck by the sorts of Barbie games available. As I looked for a toy suitable for a girl turning three I noticed that there was a rather large assortment of Barbie games that weren't actually Barbie. They were all princess Barbie games. Mattel, in conjunction with Disney, has released a huge assortment of Barbies that are modeled after the most popular princesses in animated films.

I wasn't ready to commit to a Barbie just yet - I think Christmas would be better for the first of the Barbie games this little girl is going to receive, so I didn't pick anything out. But I was impressed by the sheer number of little girl princess Barbies available. They were sold in packages with multiple princesses and there were different dolls to accommodate the different outfits for each princess. It was truly impressive just how many Barbie princess games where were.
