Barbie Games and Summer

Every summer, I’m reminded again why I like Barbie games. The simple truth is this: Barbie games are simple and they always make me want to go swimming. It’s a strange comparison, of course, but when you stop to think about it, the best Barbie games always seem to be featuring Barbie in a hot tub or swimsuit. Look through the dolls in the fashion toy aisle at your favorite toy store. You’ll see more than a few Barbie dolls sitting there in their swimsuits. Some even sport fish tales in a true mermaid style.

But the best accessories for Barbie games are not the giant houses. It’s the swimming pools and hot tubs. Check those out in the store and commercials and you’ll know what I mean. When you play with Barbie games in a swimming pool, you’re able to put some water in the pool, line up your dolls and have a regular beach party. It’s fun in a way that a big empty house just can’t be. And if you get bored with the doll party, you can always take your Barbie games into the big pool with you.

Barbie Games and Style

Barbie games are a great way to play with style. Style is such a personalized thing that it makes sense that you would be allowed to play with different clothing options, and what better way to do that than by checking out all that the Barbie games had to offer. The Barbie games available online are a nice way to check out the different sorts of styles that are available, and even if you aren’t entire sure of your own personal style, you can certainly try playing with the ones that are available to see what it is that you do like.

 Barbie games are full of stylish pieces as well as some more basic ones. You can start your stylish games by picking out a basic piece and then pairing it up with some other elements that you like. The nice thing about the Barbie games is that the clothing is simple to pull on or take off. All you have to do is click on one outfit and then change it to another one to make a change.

Barbie Games and Spring Fashions

The springtime is one of joy and rebirth. The fashions often represent this with lighter fabrics, pretty patterns and a general lightness and fun to all of the various styles. Of all of the various fashion dolls, Barbie games represent this springtime motif more effectively than any other group. The Monster High games are obviously dark –almost gothic in their appeal. The Bratz games are bold and trendy, but they are more urban in design than the Barbie games.

It then falls to the Barbie games to be on top of these things and promote the style that the doll world really needs at this time of the year. Decorate the dolls and make them shine. Encourage the bright patterns and soft pastels of spring time and perhaps put a flower in your hair. Barbie games are excellent at softness and light, and this is definitely one season where we can really see them shine.

Barbie Games and Valentines

This year for Valentine’s Day, I’m going to be a bit ironic rather than going with something more traditional. I believe I’m going to give all of my friends Barbie games valentines. Why, you may ask? I’m choosing Barbie this year for two reasons. The first is that I simply like Barbie. A lot. Who doesn't like Barbie games? The second reason I’m choosing Barbie games is because it’s a bit ironic when I do. How many other girls pick up Barbie valentines at my age? They are too busy baking cookies or buying candy. But not me!

Distributing my Barbie games valentines is fun, of course. All I have to do is tear out the little cards like I did back in elementary school. Then I write a short message to all of my friends on the cards and carefully pick out the right picture for the right friend. Then, once I have my cards sorted, I can distribute them to my friends. If I’m really feeling generous, I might go ahead and put some candy hearts into each card so that everyone can enjoy the fun of sweets and secret messages together this year.

Barbie Games and Romance

There is something about Barbie games that seems to shout out, “Romance!” to me. Maybe it’s the princess gowns that you always see Barbie wearing, or perhaps it’s the fact that she is always dressed up to impress – with Ken or Derek hanging around on the sidelines waiting to be given the green light. But regardless, while many might think of Barbie games as simply an opportunity to play with fashion and style, there is more to it than that.

Drag out your old Barbie dream house. Then look for some of Barbie’s most romantic clothing – big party gowns, sparkles and high heels, of course. Finally, dress up some of Barbie’s closest friends and arrange the dolls in your dream house as if you were having a romantic party – just the sort of thing Barbie would likely really do in her dream house! How can you say that’s not both dreamy and fun at the same time?

Barbie Games and Wedding Dresses

I've seen a lot of Barbies lately, but the one I haven’t seen is Barbie’s wedding dress. I realize this has a lot to do with Ken and Barbie breaking up all of those many years ago, but still – Barbie has been to every formal dance under the sun judging by her collection of holiday ball gowns, but has she ever actually been married?

Of course, if you’re an avid player of Barbie games, you might find it a bit amusing that she is touted as such wholesome fun for young girls. Of course, this is a relatively new attitude for society to have in regard to Barbie. She used to be considered scandalous. And if you stop to consider how many Barbies seem to have babies – twins even! – you’ll soon realize that now all is as it seems in the land of Barbie and Ken. Maybe he’s just another delinquent father of illegitimate babies and we’ll never see Barbie in a real wedding dress.

Barbie Games and Pinterest

I’m a recent convert to Pinterest, but I’m already addicted. It’s scary how quickly you can get sucked into the site full of pictures, ideas and plans for others. You might think of crazy cartoons, interesting crafts and that sort of thing when you’re considering Pinterest, but there are plenty of other ways to use the site as well – including showing off some of your Barbie games.

Barbie games are typically played by yourself, or perhaps with a good friend who is over for the day to enjoy some of the outfits you have for dressing up your dolls. But you can now play Barbie games with the whole world if you want to take pictures of your creations and post them online. For example, you can dress up your Barbie games in your own creations and then snap a picture of the costume. Pose the doll, create a great look and let everyone enjoy it!

Understanding Barbie Games

Barbie games are hugely popular after more than fifty years and for good reason. The girls who love the Barbie games are those same girls who embrace fashion and the fun that dress up games can be. Barbie games are easy to play for both young girls and older ones, and the dolls are easy enough to play with that you can enjoy them as a teen or even as an adult as you grow older.

Playing with the Barbie games as little girls, the youngest fans enjoy the princess and fairy tale characters that come along. They are just as likely to play with the naked Barbie games as they are to enjoy the games with a fully dressed doll. It's only when a girl gets older that she realizes that you can have the most fun of all creating the clothing for the Barbie games and dressing up the dolls over and over again.

Barbie Games for Older Girls

You don’t have to be a young girl to really enjoy the spirit of the Barbie games. Barbie games are as old as the hills it seems – they are actually about 50 years old now – and they have had fans for years. It stands to reason then than the fans of old might still be fans today, even if they have to keep their love for the fashion plates rather quiet and out of the public eye.

Fortunately, the newest versions of Bratz games allow you to do exactly that. You don’t have to play with Barbie dolls at your desk in the office to know that they are fun and enjoyable at home in your spare time. It’s not uncommon for older women as well as younger girls to pull up the Barbie games websites at home on your personal computer. You can then dress up Barbie dolls for a few minutes when you want to unwind at the end of a long day or just enjoy the new fashions and styles that these games often have available.

Barbie Games and Style

Barbie games are easily one of the most popular forms of entertainment both on the web and off. We just have to give credit to the men and women behind the Barbie styles, however. The dolls are incredibly popular year after year. Barbie has been in the spotlight for more than fifty years and that’s a significant achievement for any reason at all – most especially for a fashion doll who has been challenged more than a few times over the course of her career.

Barbie games have recently moved online, and now you don’t have to have the entire collection of dolls to really enjoy the games, however. Playing Barbie games online means simply dressing up the dolls that you find in the various games. Doll them up and throw on a few accessories to liven things up and then you suddenly have a new style for a new character or story you’re creating – all without the fuss or muss of traditional Barbie games.

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.

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.

Barbie Games and the Preppy Movement

There have been lots of names for the preps over the years. Preppy kids, Preps, Socs (remember the Outsiders?) and who knows what else. But it all boils down to the same thing – the preppy kids are the ones who wear the latest conservative fashions with a trendy bent. They are into labels usually and a particular fit or style of clothing. If it fits well, looks great and has the right label, it’s just the sort of thing that the preppy kids love. And Barbie games have long been the poster child of the preppy movement.

Barbie games have occasionally tried to deviated from a conservative preppy thing, but usually they just fall right back into the same routines. After all, the conservative prep thing really works for Barbie. What’s perhaps the most interesting thing to watch in the conservative fashion games of Barbie games is the actual preppy style. Leotards and leg warmers gave way to boot cut jeans and adorable tops. Boots came and went and high heels are forever. Barbie games are simply an ideal expression of preppy fashion choices.
