I'm half-welsh (and the other half is of interesting descent), so I have black hair and ruddy skin. In the sun, I go very dark. This is my Barbiegirls avatar:
Most of the body type options are caucasian-stereotype, and certainly the skin colour: the darkest you can go is .. hmm, sort of caffe latte colour. This is the curliest hair available (afro styles? Forget it). You have no nose options (mine is much more potato-like). Height and weight? No way. Everyone has to be skinny and knock-kneed.
Maybe more options will come post-beta, but I think it's shameful that there aren't more by launch.
That is shocking, especially considering the variety of Barbie's friends on sale these days. However, spare a thought for those of us with ginger hair who can't even make a Mii to look like us, let alone have our very own Barbie lookalikey.

Is that four variations on Caucasian? White, white, peach, pink? Very nice.

Basically, yes. Outrageous, isn't it?

This game stinks. The Barbie Girl device is way too expensive and a waste of money. I cant even chat with my friends online cause I cant find them on the darn thing!!

why does BarbieGirls BETA always busy to improve the site?! I want to play again! it is almost five days you know?! everyday I go in and nothing happens! please turn it back! it's so unfair! the session will only get to be 2 or 3 days, and the busy-improving-the-site days would be almost up to five days?! it's so unfair!
Posted by: Czarina | May 17, 2007 at 10:28
oh, and plus, when I go to the rooms in the map, it says that there are no rooms available! for goodness' sakes! I have many friends and they don't have rooms?! ugh! this site is definetly posted in a link that isn't done yet! I just know the site isn't done yet!!!! it's so unfair!!!
Posted by: Czarina | May 17, 2007 at 10:31
and one more thing! when I went to www.tygirlz.com, I clicked the word new member, so, when I got in, it says that I have to have a secret code! and then, when I saw my secret code, it's all X! eight X! like this! "XXXXXXXX"!!!!! and when I entered the code, it says that I entered the wrong code! I checked 27 times!! is there something wrong with this site?! I can't register! because when I entered the code, it says that it is incorrect! I've been trying so many many times! what is wrong with these sites?!!!!!
