If Only Someone Would Dress Me so Enthusiastically.

Have you ever played those little dress-up games online? I won’t lie. I do so love them. You get a chance to take this silly little pixilated thing, and arrange given options around on them to make them AWESOME.I personally am fond of the wedding ones.

No, I’m not a creeper. I just happen to enjoy the frillier dresses that are shown most often In wedding dresses. However, the vintage dress ones make me so happy! Especially when I find the Victorian ones? They’re little jewels.

I think their appeal comes from the idea of a theme, then being able to make choices within restrictions. People generally work better in areas when given parameters. As a artist, when someone tells me to just draw anything, I kind of look at them blankly and try to mull around for something fun and original and fabulous. It never ends up being any of those three. It’s the typical “o hay there’s a girl in a pose.” I’ve never been able to draw men well. Apparently, I’m sexist.
But really? How much more fun is it to have things readily prepared and just voice choices? Like having all the ingredients of a pizza in front of you- just decide what you want on it, and it’ll be magically made.

… okay, so that’s Papa John’s online, but who’s counting?

The only problem I find with them is that after a while, I get bored of them. The girls/boys always look the same, with that same coy little “I’m so gleeful!” smile, the same bright wide eyes. I’d love to see one with a model more like this:




Where you get to change the monster head? It’d be badass. Hair, makeup, OH GOD A CUTTLEFISH, ooo cute vintage dresses!


I think that’d be awesome. Don't judge.


PS- please don’t add music to your little game. It’s very irritating for those of us who like to rock out to, I don’t know, Marilyn Manson while doing 70’s style dress-up games. It would be gleeful. :D
