Bratz Games and Barbie


If you know Bratz games, you certainly know Barbie, too. Once upon a time, fashion was a one girl show. Barbie was the fashion doll industry. But then, just a few years ago, the Bratz appeared. The Bratz games were younger, more fashionable and made Barbie, who used to be highly criticized for her figure, look like a angel.

Bratz games had a huge following almost immediately. Girls loved them and parents tolerated them, even if they didn’t really care for the pouty mouths and skimpy wardrobe. If you loved Bratz dolls, you soon had them on everything. You could find Bratz on backpacks, pencil boxes, folders, toothbrushes, and of course online.

Barbie was in just as many places, but somehow Barbie doesn’t carry the same appeal to many girls. They relate more to the urban princesses and their pop culture fashion styles rather than the blonde bombshell who stole the show for so many years. Face it, Barbie is just old – the Bratz are literally the younger, fresher model.
