Bratz as Best Friends?


If you like Bratz games and have played around and watched the Bratz movies, you’ve likely seen how the group of girls interact together. They are best friends, but all pretty different – not unlike the four girls in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants or Babysitter’s Club. But when you see a group of friends, you can’t help but wonder what your role would be if you were thrown into the mix.
Bratty Best Friends?
What would it be like to be best friends with the Bratz? It’s likely that the thought’s crossed your mind, but if not, here are a few points to think about:

What makes you different? Each of the Bratz has a characteristic that makes them stand out. One is a photographer, one is a diva, one is all about music and the other is a great athlete. What do you do that would help to define your roll in the group?

Are you fashion forward? If you only wear what everyone else is wearing, you’re probably not trendy enough for the Bratz clique. The girls are totally fashion forward, often the first to try out something new and different, and you should be, too.

Are you friendly? Despite their name, the Bratz don’t act bratty or stuck up. If you love fashion, you can’t start trash talking everyone else who might not dress or act as well as you do. It’s all about being classy.

Bratz Games: Good, Not Bad


Bratz games always seem to be getting flack about being bad for young girls. As you probably know some parents and groups are concerned about the dolls being sexy and dressing a bit to provocatively for young girls. They think that we’ll all start wearing mini skirts and plumping up our lips to maximize our youthful good looks. And they may be right, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Bratz games help us to learn what’s in style. Not every doll is wearing something club worthy. The girls do have to go to school, you know. Just check out the Bratz movies, and you can see that miniskirts and such have their place in the fashion world, but so do jeans and all the other things kids your age already wear.

Bratz games keep us off the streets. If people are so concerned about kids looking too sexy or dressing provocatively, they can thank Bratz games for keeping us off the streets at least. I’m exaggerating, obviously, but it’s unlikely I’ll be sitting here in a miniskirt playing Bratz games.

Bratz games stimulate the mind. Playing almost any type of computer game has been shown to help the mind in some way, and Bratz games are not the exception. Bratz games test your creativity and eye for color and design. Some flash Bratz games might even test your speed and dexterity.

Bratz Games Help You Stay Young?


It’s no secret that acting young will make you feel young – for the most part. Living life to the fullest helps keep you in good spirits, and plenty of exercise will give your body the flexibility and strength it needs to keep your whole system fresh and youthful. So, even if you’re already youthful, which you probably are, you can stay that way with the help of Bratz games.

Updated Fashion Sense
When you play with Bratz, you’ll have an insider’s look into fashion. You’ll know the latest styles and how to wear them thanks to the fashionable friends that make up the Bratz collection. If you can’t pull your own looks together, you can count on there being an outfit that’s easy to copy from a Bratz doll. This will help you look youthful and hip.

Active
Playing Bratz games is inspiring activity. All that walking through the mall gets the blood pumping as does trying on countless outfits. But really, most of the Bratz dolls actually play sports meaning it’s completely fashionable (and fun) to be very active in school sports or ones of your own choosing.

Mentally Sharp
Bratz games online will help you with the most important skill of all – keeping your mind sharp. Mental ability and awareness might not keep the body looking you, but it will help your mind to work just as well as when you were young – better, actually since your brain is still developing well into your twenties.

Punk Princess


The best thing about Bratz games is how they inspire us to try new fashion trends we might not have considered without guidance from the little fashionistas. Jade, one of the original Bratz, might not be punk, but she’s also not afraid to try out the latest and greatest cutting edge styles.

And those cutting edge styles are often what makes punk style so appealing. How often have you seen new styles modeled on your favorite singers, only to see them appear in stores and on Bratz dolls just a few months later?

Punk is more than a fashion style (and type of music, of course), it’s an entire lifestyle compete with expectations for new designs and new and improved ways of wearing the old designs. The Bratz were some of the first dolls to truly show a bit of hip and urban feel in their clothing making them small versions of punk princesses.

Naturally, if you’re going to give the punk style a try, you’ll also want to try it with a bit of pizazz all your own. Shop thrift stores and boutiques like Jade to find what’s new and what needs to be new again. Then, model your own style and you can be a true punk princess, too.

Flirty Fun!



Want to be bratty? Why not play Bratz games somewhere other than online or at your house. The Bratz are about more than just dressing up and looking good, although that’s an excellent start to Bratz games. The girls are also about music, finding new fashion trends, and even batting those big flirty eyes at the Bratz Boyz.

So why don’t you play along?

Gather a group since it’s always easier to be bold and daring in a group situation, and then turn on your flirt power. Think about how confident and stylish the Bratz are. Then become a Brat, yourself. Dress to look your absolute best. This will give you confidence and boost your self esteem.

Strut your stuff to the beat of your own drummer. You know your mind and you’re not going to let anything stand in the way of what you want. And maybe you have your heart and mind set on a particular boy already.

While you’re in your Bratz flirting mode, flip your hair back and head his direction. Walk past with a friend or on your way to the lunch line and throw him a big smile. You might even give him a little wink. With clues like that, he’ll have no question that you’re very sure of yourself – and sure that you want him to notice.

Bratz Babyz and Bratz Kidz


If you’re into Bratz games, you already know about the younger version of the popular Bratz dolls. Bratz Babyz and Bratz Kidz

Bratz Babyz
When the Bratz Babyz were introduced, the smaller (and younger) version of the Bratz dolls took us back a notch. They looked a bit different than we were expecting and we couldn’t do much with them since their hair was molded. But now there are more Bratz Babyz to complete the collection and they come with better hair, better accessories and a better reputation. Lil’ Angelz are even cuter as they are infant versions of the Bratz dolls.

Bratz Kidz
If the Lil’ Angelz are the youngest version of the Bratz followed by the Bratz Babyz, the Bratz Kidz pick up where the line leaves off. The Bratz Kidz are shorter versions of the Bratz dolls that come with different interchangeable outfits and super style. Last year, the Bratz Boyz Kidz made the scene and these guys are a fun addition to the collection as well as the stars of some of the latest Bratz movies. The most current movie is a fairy tale, but there isn’t a line of Bratz dolls to go with it – yet.

Who’s Your Favorite Bratz Doll?


The original Bratz games consisted of four characters – Cloe, Yasmin, Sasha and Jade. The four girls started a doll revolution and were featured in the Bratz movie as well. But which of the Bratz girls is your favorite?

Cloe
Cloe doesn’t just live life – she records it. Always taking pictures and video of her friends, Cloe loves to document the moment. She also loves things that glitter and shine. Great on the soccer field and fun in the halls, this Angel is definitely something special.

Yasmin
Nicknamed the Pretty Princess, Yasmin can be quiet at times, but she’s not a snob and she’s certainly not shy. Yasmin is almost regal in her quiet manner – she really acts like a very pretty little princess.

Sasha
Bunny Boo, or Sasha, loves fashion. She adores new clothing and pulling together looks, but she also lives for her music. With a strong personality and no fear of letting others know what she wants, Sasha is on her way to a career in music production, and fashion design of course.

Jade
Jade is the most fashionable of the four – if that’s even possible. She’s on the cutting edge of fashion and spends most of her free time looking through fashion magazines, searching through thrift shops and putting together complete looks at trendy boutiques. She is really one Kool Kat.

Bratz Games: Fashion Show


Like fashion? Like music? Like Bratz games? Then you have all the necessary ingredients for a Bratz fashion show. The first thing you’ll need to decide for your fashion show is if you want your BFF in on the action. Then get started, fashionista!

Grab your Bratz dolls and their various outfits to see what works in your current design line. Or, if you simply can’t make do with your current doll, head online to a Bratz game and create your own Bratz dolls in stylish outfits. You can then print the dolls out and have them ready for the big show.

No fashion show is complete without music, so you’ll need to gather up your CDs or create a new play list on the computer to have ready for the big event. The type of music should match the style of the show. A formal show should have more serious music, and an urban show should have, you guessed it, urban music – i.e. rap, hip hop, etc…

Finally you need a place to stage your show. Your bed will work just fine, or you get more elaborate and create a stage and backstage area from cardboard or construction paper. Then get ready to show off your fashion sense in this fun Bratz game.

Are Your Bratz Dolls Too Sexy?


According to various news reports over the last few years, parents are in an uproar because Bratz dolls are just too attractive. I do hope that your parents don’t feel the same way, at least. Bratz games are being called out because the girls have pouty lips, big beautiful eyes, thin waists and occasionally revealing clothes.

In some circles, this is entirely too much sex appeal for a doll.

Of course, the main concern is that you will grow up playing Bratz games and start to believe that you should have the same appearance as your favorite doll. This might lead to problems down the road with your self-image. So, the question is:

Are your Bratz dolls too sexy?

I hope not. In case you didn’t know – Bratz are make believe characters, not real people. Nobody can really look like a Bratz girl simply because your neck wouldn’t be strong enough for that big old head and your eyes don’t get any larger.

The next time you hear someone mention that the Bratz might be a bit much, simply remind that individual that Barbie games were described the same way for years, but few people ever think they’ll look like Barbie these days.
