Bratz Games and Fashions


I, for one, was relieved when the Bratz games came along. As much as I love Barbie and Polly Pocket, it’s nice to find some fashion dolls that seem to know something about our current fashions. Barbie has pretty princess dresses, but when it comes to her every day wardrobe, it has some serious flaws. Barbie dresses much like a Ralph Lauren commercial most of the time. It’s a bit annoying to a little girl who wants to look like her favorite pop star and not the model much beloved by her mother.

Bratz games, however, have answered this need for some younger, more urban fashion. Barbie dolls get married, Bratz dolls hang out with their friends and go to school in their hip cars. The Barbie dresses like a grown-up and Bratz dolls dress like saucy teenagers. If you were a young girl age eight going on sixteen which would appeal to you? There’s not a huge surprise that so many older girls start to leave their Barbies behind in favor of the Bratz games. The Bratz simply have more to offer them.
