The Fine Art of Bratz Games

Bratz games may not get a lot of press, but they are still very near and dear to the hearts of girls everywhere who love these small urban fashion plates. The Bratz games were originally designed as a sort of competitor to Barbie – or at least that is the way it appeared to Mattel, the makers of Barbie games. But the Bratz dolls have evolved over the years to become a true fashion template for continued success.

Even during the worst of the lawsuits between Mattel and MGA Entertainment – the owners of Bratz games and Barbie games respectively, the dolls themselves were still hugely popular and young girls everywhere loved them. To play the games, you simply have to choose the Bratz doll that you like the most and then start choosing fashions for her to wear. Dress up the doll online and you can change her clothing countless times as you create the perfect look and style.

Gifts and Bratz Games

I was pleasantly surprised the other day to see so many Bratz games on the shelf as stores prepare for the holiday season. I am an advance shopper and I like to get all of my buying out of the way as soon as possible, preferably before all the madness of the actual shopping season gets underway. This time as I cruised down the Bratz aisle, I was pleased to see so many different types of fashion dolls. Among those were the Bratz dolls that have been missing for awhile.

I realize that the dolls have certainly been around in one form or fashion for awhile, but after the lawsuits earlier this decade, the Bratz games seemed hugely diminished and there just weren't many on the shelves as there had been years ago. Now it looks as though things may be perking up for the fashion doll maker, because more Bratz games than ever are on the shelves, ready to be snatched up for a holiday present.

Bratz Games and Women

Why do we always assume that only young girls enjoy playing Bratz games? Pre-teens are certainly not the only people out there who are interested in fashion, and playing Bratz games is an excellent opportunity for everyone - regardless of age - to enjoy the urban, trendy styles that Bratz games bring to toys and the online games.

Online Bratz games in particularly are easy to play and a nice way to explore some fashion styles you might not have considered previously. The online Bratz games are simple enough. To play the games, you have to simply pick out clothing and drag it onto the bodies of the Bratz dolls that are there waiting to be dressed. You get to design the outfit that your Bratz doll is going to wear, and as you prepare the clothing styles you can simply visualize how that particular outfit would look on you and how you could change up a youthful style to define your more mature style.

Are Bratz Trashy?

There seems to be a strong set of individuals who feel as though the Bratz girls are a bit, ahem, trashy. The group I refer to are frequent visitors on a Bratz game website, and don’t seem to mind the games, but are a bit concerned about the morality of the Bratz dolls. By that I mean they are flat out calling the dolls skanky.

The primary focus was on the Bratz Halloween costumes. It seems that there is a Halloween costume available for the dolls that is very reminiscent of the Playboy Bunny. Does having this costume make the dolls trashy? It’s up to you.

Some feel that any doll designed for children should reflect a high set of morals. Others feel like the costume is just the same as the ones you see in costume shops and party stores around that time of year. It’s hard to say whether a single costume makes the girls a bit skanky, but there is always an option available to those who’d like to play with the dolls. If you’re concerned about the morality of your own Bratz games, simply opt for the angel or pumpkin costume instead.
