Dress-Up Games...FOR GROWN WOMEN?!?!

Okay, so do you know of paper dolls?

Yes, Barbie was doll of choice and I loved her to bits (I loved my Samantha doll more, though). But this made me curious: Has any of you ever played with paper dolls?

I did play with them, but they were the really crappy ones that you would print out from the computer and they would rip and break on you. My 9 year old self didn't give a shit, though. I COULD COLOR THE MODEL AND THE CLOTHES! Also, it added to my weird obsession with cutting things with scissors, but we won't get into that.

Anyway, thanks to the internet and advancements in computer programming, the phenomenon of paper dolls is now rampant all over the internet. Just typing in 'paper dolls' into Google and you'll get a TON of websites!

Which leads me to this website I found, sponsored by Lifetime Corporation (yes, you read right; the same company that shows those gushy, guilty-pleasure chick flicks that some people I know love to hate). It's called RoiWorld, and it was originally owned by a casual gaming company in South Korea. For a couple years, it has been one of the most popular casual gaming websites for women on the Internet. And Lifetime has taken up on the rise of casual gaming for women.

The basic gist of RoiWorld is it's a website where you can dress your model up with clothes and accessories and makeup models' faces (although I will say some of the outfits are FUGLY as all hell, but some of them are adorable!). You can also challenge other users on the site and see who's the most fashionable and you win points to use for challenge fees and to buy avatar items.

Yes, I know, I'm promoting capitalism and money into Lifetime's fat pockets with this stuff, but seriously, I think some of you ladies would LOVE it.
