The Bratz are marketed as dolls with “a passion for fashion.” Fashions that include low-cut jeans and halter tops worn over little girl-like bodies. And in a culture that glorifies fashion, runway models and celebrity cover girls, it’s no surprise that the obsession would trickle down even to preschool fashionistas. Little girls have always wanted to emulate older ones. When young girls have an open-ended toy—like a generic baby doll—it encourages creativity.The scenarios of Bratz dolls with bratz games tells them how to play—to dress up, do your hair, go to fashion shows.

One of the first things I stumbled across was the Bratz World ! Tokyo a Go-Go Sushi Lounge. Oh My Gosh–a Sushi Lounge for dolls!! Sushi is a family ritual for us–birthdays and many other special evens are commemorated at our local sushi restaurant. The bratz are the best toy to get your little sis or cousin they show a sign of style and they encourage girls to show a sense of fashion for there passion without feeling embarrased about what your wearing they show that anybody can be what they want to be without feeling unconfident about what they’re wearing and I think I speak for all the bratz dress up dolls lovers and bratz gamers..

Inspiration. The writers of ancient Greece attributed it to the Muses—the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Muses were believed to inspire all artists, especially poets, philosophers, and musicians. Calliope was the muse of epic poetry; Clio inspires historians; Euterpe of lyric poetry sung to the accompaniment of the flute; Melpomene of writers of tragedy; Terpsichore of choral songs and the dance; Erato of love poems sung to the accompaniment of the lyre; Polyhymnia of sacred poetry; Urania of astronomy; and Thalia of writers of comedy.

I however view it differently. Inspiration is just a burst of neural impulses in our brain creating that next big idea that could turn out to be a romantic song, an award winning film, an inspiring book, a breathtaking painting or a sought after dress. I have studied science after all and this bunch of invisible folks inspiring people just do not sit well with me.

But of late, I do not care if it is a big purple dinosaur who will do the inspiring for me. As long as I am inspired I do not care. I am talking about the fact that as a designer and the person who dresses the stars, I have no more creative juices left in me. I am squeezed dry and I feel like every new design has already been done somewhere by someone. All the fashion designers of my age have already put up some major collection but I can’t seem to draw even a single button. Desperate I begin to scour the net for any inspiration I can find. Maybe there is a muse after all for inexplicably, I found myself staring at Bratz dress up games. “This is weird. How did I get in Bratz dress up games?” Maybe my mind wants me to get in touch with the reason why I began to love designing in the first place. Bratz dress up games remind me of the times when I play dress up dolls when I was a kid. I would make paper dresses to put on to my dolls and the longer I play the more that I seem to be improving in my designs. And that paved the way for my career in designing. In Bratz dress up games, the dresses are already there. All one has to do is drag the dress that one thinks would look perfect for the Bratz character. I noticed that most of the clothes there are rather inspired so I took a closer look at the different dresses studied them and made some adjustments n them. Suddenly, I feel an excitement that I thought was long dead. I was inspired to design again!

I have managed to put up a major collection soon after. People began telling me that it is one of my best works and began asking me where did I get my inspiration. Of course, I am sure that nobody will believe me if I say that I got it from Bratz dress up games.

Bratz games. Bratz games. Bratz games. Every corner that I come to look I can see those two words. It replays on my mind like a bad last song syndrome of some latest pop song or an old broken phonograph playing on a single song over and over again. This is like the old urban legend of the song with the highest cases of suicide: Gloomy Sunday. Gloomy Sunday was composed before world war one by a composer who was rejected by his lady love. Superstitions have come to be associated with this song and musicians usually are hesitant to play this. An old war pilot once listened to this before flying. To his alarm, the song kept playing on his head as if the old record player was beside him despite the noise of all those engines.

That is what I have been feeling today. This word has been plaguing me for weeks now. There must really be a Big brother somewhere. I am a perfectly normal boy with no record of any mental health in both sides of the family. How then could such a word as mundane as Bratz Games be playing on my mind? I try thinking back to the times when I lost consciousness or for any moments where I have a lapse of memory. Alarmingly, there are a lot. Was it in those moments that this phrase has been inserted into my mind? How did they do that when I have never left home in the past few months? Have they entered my home without anyone in our household noticing them? What is its significance? How does it affect me?

These questions seem to form a queue inside my head: Queries that begin anew even before I have finished asking the first question, even before I stop to think of answering the first questions. I am raving I know. But I do not now what else to do. If I stop thinking about these questions, the haunting word with begin playing again in my head. Please, please make it stop. I never thought that something so simple could drive anyone crazy. I am going crazy of that I have no doubt. In spite of myself, I found myself laughing, laughing to the beat of Bratz games in my head. La la la la. Wait. I must not slip away from my own consciousness. I always prided myself of my own logic. I must think this through. I must think straight.

Perhaps it is a message from outer space? That is not logical. Perhaps I have simply seen it somewhere and the word just stuck. Now that is possible. I must have simply seen it in a TV or Internet ad in a site where I usually go. Ok. Now I am focusing properly. How about I Google the following key words? I think that would help me a lot. Gathering what was left of my sanity, I just did that. Turned out, I have nothing to worry about after all.

If you’re already bored this summer, you need something new to do. Look around your room – what toys and activities do your normally love? Your computer definitely comes to mind and there on your shelf is your favorite fashion game – the Bratz doll. Surely by now you know, but if you’re just awakening to the world of online possibilities, head over to the computer and try out something new – online Bratz games.

Bratz Games Online

The online version of the Bratz games are much more than a singing doll or a doll with two or three outfits. Entire websites are developed and devoted to dressing up Bratz dolls. Naturally you like Bratz dolls because they have great fashion sense. They are fun and flirty and have the clothes to match. So, of course, their online fashion sense is just as good – or possible better since you’re in charge.

When you play an online Bratz game, you have a few choices. Some of the games are flash Bratz games which means they have bit of movement and sound. You might control the Bratz doll through some sort of activity, or maybe create a short video or activity sequence with your doll. These games are definitely fun, but even the simpler online Bratz games are great, too.

The simplest Bratz games are, in essence, the same kind of dress up game you’ve always played with your Bratz doll. You select a doll and then make choices as to her hair color, her eye color and even her skin color. You then start the dress up portion of the Bratz game by choosing from hundreds of outfits and articles of clothing. Dress up your doll in a terrific outfit and sit back to assess. Then carefully select as many accessories as you think you might need before saving your personalized Bratz doll.

You can print her out, save her in an online portfolio of sorts, or even use your doll as an avatar on other websites – include the main Bratz website. But the official Bratz website isn’t the online Bratz game site. There are hundreds of Bratz games online, and as the dolls become more popular, more games appear.

Play a few Bratz dress up games from one site, then check out another series of games on another website. By the time you’re ready for a change, it’s incredibly likely that the original site has new and improved Bratz games ready and waiting for you. Even if you only play a single Bratz game online, you have endless variety simply because there are so many clothing and accessory options. Create doll after doll and as you get better, you can enter the dolls in a contest – there are several around the web, use her as the main character in a story you write, or start a collection.

Whatever you decide to do with your online Bratz creations, you’ll be hooked on the games within hours and then you’ll have more than enough to do this summer. You might even discover that playing with Bratz online inspires you to play with your regular Bratz doll as well.

If you find yourself wandering the aisles of the toy store searching for the perfect gift for a young girl in your life, you are very likely stumped. By the time a girl is well indoctrinated in elementary school, she’s going to have very definite opinions of what games she likes and what she is much too old for. If you want to play it safe, you should always go with what is most popular among most girls, but keep it a bit edgy to make sure she doesn’t think you’re just being cliché.

Skip the Barbie, Go for Bratz

As many young girls will tell you, Barbie is for babies – Bratz are what’s cool now. Like many things, this is completely subjective. Barbie still holds major sway with a large percentage of the female population, but Bratz games are taking off in a major way – helped along by a bit of scandal.

The dolls look a bit too sultry for many parent’s tastes, but they are harmless when it’s all said and done. If you want to impress your young niece or daughter, show how knowledgeable you are about fashion and grab her one of the latest Bratz games, dolls or movies. You can even grab a Bratz electric toothbrush – that alone should tell you how popular these dolls are.

Collect a Few Webkinz

As with many toys, Webkinz combine the best of both worlds – cyber and not. The small plush animals come in a vast array of collectible characters from fantasy classics to make-believe, from jungle animals to household pets, Webkinz are cute and cuddly. Similar to Beanie Babies of a previous generation, many women and especially girls are collecting these little dolls. But Webkinz have something Beanie Babies never did. With each Webkinz, you get an eight digit code that gives you access, money and prestige in an online world.

By buying a Webkinz, or receiving one as a gift, the girls in your life are able to head online to a world full of fun and entertainment. Online the Webkinz are pets of a kind and the money and bonus items they earn by playing online games and bonus competitions can be used to feed and clothe the creatures – online, that is. Even in the online world, Webkinz are the basis of collecting everything from recipes to special pet food.

The Disney Channel’s Latest and Greatest

The Disney channel certainly knows how to collect young followers. A rather large majority of young girls are very interested in the likes of Hannah Montana, The Jonas Brothers, and High School Musical I and II. These are all creations of Disney and you can find the dolls, bedding, collectibles, albums and movies to match. If you’re not sure how to gift an item featuring High School Musical, for example, you should probably skip the bed sheets and go with the movie or soundtrack instead. Everyone likes a good movie.

Looking for a new way to spice up the old Bratz dolls? Well, they can’t be that old, but you know what I’m referring to. Sometimes even the best dolls get a bit stale and need something new to bring her back to life. This is your chance to liven up tired Bratz games and give your dolls a glamorous new take on life.

Total Makeover

Your first Bratz game to consider is one the dolls were made for. Give that doll a fashion makeover. Head to the toy store to check out what fashion items are available that will fit your Bratz doll. If you find that the selection isn’t what you’d call plentiful, have no fear. Skip out of the toy store and start shopping in fabrics instead. You don’t have to buy outfits – you can make them!

If you already know how to sew, creating new outfits should be simple. If you’re interested in learning ask an adult who knows a basic stitch to show you. If you have access to a sewing machine, get help using it to make a new outfit or a complete wardrobe for your Bratz doll. Who knew you were such a fashion designer?

Of course, no makeover is complete without new hair and make-up. Well, in this case maybe just hair as the make-up is painted on. But try out new hair styles until you find one that is different, fun, and creative. Then throw on that new outfit and admire your handiwork. Maybe your next total makeover will be for you!

Fashion Show

If you’re satisfied with the clothes your Bratz doll already has, you should consider showing them off in a big way. Grab all your Bratz dolls and maybe your sister’s dolls, too. You’ll need a bit of help with a full scale fashion show, so call over a best friend to help you plan and execute.

The first step will be to design fashion looks for each of the dolls and to dress them accordingly. Then you’ll need to arrange the dolls in line for the show and check to see if any of them will be changing clothes during the course of the show and planning for this rabid-fire wardrobe change.

Finally, you’ll need to pull together a play list of upbeat songs your Bratz dolls can walk to as they strut their stuff down the runway. So organize your favorite tunes, clear a runway and help those dolls reach fashion glory.

Online Bratz Games

If you simply can’t bring yourself to dig around for old doll clothes, take yourself online where you can find plenty of the latest and greatest Bratz fashion with less work and more options. Online Bratz games are dress up games where you dress Bratz dolls in the kind of fashion you like. Make outfits, accessorize, then save or print and do it all over again. Online Bratz games will satisfy your itch for fashion and be a cure for your boredom many times over.

Pick your Bratz to go on this fashion pixie adventure through the Bratz wonderland magical world of pixies and Bratz in Bratz Fashion Pixies game.

Bratz Fashion Pixies Party is really have fun.

For most girls, it’s either one or the other. Most young girls have a strong preference for either the Bratz dolls or the Barbie dolls. Of course, like all things young and girly, that preference can change suddenly, without warning, and without your enthusiastic approval.

Barbie Dolls

Barbie is a relatively safe fashion icon. She’s been around for decades, has many fabulous outfits, a spirit of independence, multiple careers and even grew a thicker waistline. Not only is she extremely fashionable, she’s also intelligent and self-sufficient – how else would she become Doctor Barbie and survive on her own after the famous break-up with Ken.

Most parents approve of Barbie dolls and encourage their daughters to play with them. Girls can dress up the dolls, use them in various games, and once your child is hooked on Barbie, Christmas and birthdays are covered as far as creative gifts are concerned. There are countless Barbie accessories.

A few decades ago some might not have agreed, but by today’s standards Barbie is fresh, youthful and wholesome. Many parents don’t feel the same to be true of the new fashion doll alternative – Bratz games. These dolls are young fashionistas, but they are a bit too edgy for most parents’ discerning taste.

Bratz Dolls

The Bratz dolls burst onto the fashion game scene in a big way a few years ago. They were created by a former employee of Mattel who knew a bit about fashion dolls, but that is where the similarity to Barbie stops.

The Bratz are younger than Barbie. They are edgy, urban and very sultry with wide pouting lips and big beautiful eyes. For parents comfortable with Barbie dolls, a Bratz doll in a mini skirt, combat boots and revealing shirt is a bit too much to take at times. But girls love them.

Where Barbie satisfies the “good girl” within, Bratz can be the more stubborn and possibly obnoxious self ready to come out. Barbie had her share of controversy years ago, and now Bratz games are taking over the spotlight on edgy doll with too much sex appeal.

And there is sex appeal. Bratz are hard to describe as wholesome with their characteristic bedroom eyes and risqué wardrobe. But for the most part this hasn’t stopped parents from purchasing the Bratz game collections for their children.

Trying Out Bratz

If your child is starting to get an itch for something a bit trendier than Barbie, but you’re not sure how you feel about the Bratz games, you can easily experience much of what the Bratz have to offer by going online. After taking a tour down the formerly pink aisle of the toy store, head to an online Bratz game to see these girls in action. Then you and your daughter can decide if she’s ready to take on the world of Bratz.

It’s customary for parents to worry about their children’s toys, but in the case of the Bratz dolls, some parents feel there might really be a problem. If you haven’t had a chance to slap eyes on one of the newest fashion games to hit the toy store shelve, Bratz dolls are the hip and urban upgrade to the traditional Barbie. Where Barbie is fashionable and wholesome (by most standards), the Bratz are edgy with an urban, punk style. They also dress in a rather revealing way and are easily recognized by large pouty lips and sultry, bedroom eyes.

At least that is the impression most parents walk away with.

Of course, the facial features of a doll aren’t going to declare a state of toy emergency, but as a parent you must always think about the message your toys are sending. And Bratz dolls look a certain way – does that mean Bratz games are sending the wrong message?

Not necessarily.

When Barbie was first introduced and in subsequent years there was great concern over the message Barbie was sending to children everywhere. Of course, many parents still worry about this, but not with the degree of concern shown in the media years ago. When Barbie was created, she had outrageous measurements that were impossible to have in real life. Her tiny waist was disproportional to her expansive chest and hips.

Critics worried that young girls would get the message that Barbie was the ideal and that all women should look like Barbie dolls. The debate continued for years, but when Mattel created an updated version of Barbie roughly a decade ago, she was reintroduced to the world with a wider waist and a natural looking belly button making those concerned exhale a small sign of relief.

You don’t hear much about the damaging effects of Barbie on the psyche of little girls today. You hear quite a bit about Hollywood and teen idols, and Bratz games replicate the fashions and attitudes most frequently seen on gossip shows and music television. The Bratz Games include clothing that shows a lot of leg and a lot of stomach. If the girls had cleavage, the tops would show too much of that as well.

The clothing is the type that most parents barely tolerate on their children, but some refuse to buy. Skin-tight articles, short shorts, and ultra-flashy clothing items might be fashionable, but they make some critics concerned, once again, about the message these dolls are sending to young girls – the primary audience of the dolls.

But like any toy or any parenting decision for that matter, the level of acceptance for your home and your child is entirely up to you. And not every Bratz game is made the same. If your child is dying to play with Bratz games the way her friends are, let her head to the computer to play online Bratz games or take a walk through the toy store to find the least offensive doll (and outfit) in your opinion and buy that instead. After all, Barbie might have been risqué in her day, but she wound up a self-fulfilled woman with many high-paying careers.
