Dress Up Games

Dressing up is a game played by children as well as adults. In the make believe world, the child pretends to be what she isn’t. She may try on mommy’s make up, trod precariously on her over-sized high heels and carry her designer handbag. It’s a game that can obsess the child for hours.

The online dress up game is not confined to real life only. It has also swamped the Internet and young girls spend long hours dressing up their favorite dolls. Parents might worry that this kind of game contains unhealthy, even sinister motives and may try to discourage or even prevent the child from playing the dress up games. However, they should encourage rather than discourage because the activity helps to boost the child’s imagination and creativity. Dress up games are equally intense for teens. Teenage girls, especially,like to dress up to look like their favorite pop idol or movie star. They wear the same designer clothes, the same hairstyle and color and might even take a trip to the plastic surgeon in order to help them look more like their favorite star. If you don’t believe me, look around how many people at the look alike Michael Jacksons, Elvis Presleys or the Marilyn Monroes.

Picture a girl dolling up for a date she wishes to impress. Her bedroom probably would look like it has been hit by a tornado. Jeans, dresses, tops, lingerie, shoes and accessories are strewn everywhere. She’s tried them all but still she has not found the right fit that would bowl him over. She probably would have been trying on different pants, skirts and tops long hours before the pick up time. Doesn’t it sound familiar? The mother probably had been in the same shoes when she was a young woman. So, don’t be anxious. It’s part of a growing up phase.

Thanks to the many sites on dress up games, the selection of clothes can be made faster and easier. After all, seeing is believing. Just keep dressing the doll until it looks like a knock out. That’s when you know, you’ve made the right dress choice. It a lot of fun, really. I just played one such game where I had to dress a doll with top, skirt or pants, shoes as well as accessories just by selecting, dragging and dropping the item on the doll. By the way, there are dress up games to cater to different seasons as well as occasions such as birthdays, weddings or office. Poking fun at political icons has also hit the dressing up sites. And the latest victim is none other than Hilary Clinton. Not bad, eh to have a go at dressing up the former First Lady and prospective first female president. How do you want her to look like? Chic, elegant? Hard, officious? Or do you visualize her as the girl next door? Remember, you can dress her the way you like since you are the potter and she’s the clay.
