Barbie Gets a Makeover


In one of the greatest makeover games of all time, Barbie is getting ready to turn fifty in 2009 and is getting a new image. Her look isn’t changing all that much – still has the long blonde hair and trim figure, but for those associated with makeover games, the hair and figure are just the basics – it is what you do with them that matters most.

In Barbie’s history she’s almost always been a wholesome image for young girls everywhere. Now, she’s deemed a bit too wholesome by many of the older doll crowd. Barbie wants to change this and to do so will be changing everything around her.

She’ll start by making over the people she works with. Then she’ll move on to her friends and pets. Those might get a new wardrobe and we might see a nicer variety in her crew. Then, it is on to Barbie’s clothing and accessories. Barbie will keep those beautiful ball gowns, but she’ll also be getting trendier clothing that might be worn by the more urban set of fashion lovers. She’ll be getting some video games and possibly some t-shirts and jeans – unheard of for the traditional Barbie! The whole makeover game will be very exciting to watch.
