Ever heard of “dress up games” from your little ones? What are dress up games, by the way? Perhaps you half-imagined the morning or afternoon pastime of younger days gone by, full of lace and frilly clothes plus high heeled shoes? In today’s Information Age however, dress up games have come to mean something slightly more complex than games in the play room – it’s currently an Internet phenomenon, in fact. At the mention of dress up games, what the seemingly homey word evokes are paper dolls. Those dolls usually had a girl for a starting point, and the half-day is spent reading her mind if she minds wearing this or that heavy gown to the ball. The more innovative kid among the gang had figured out long ago how to make additional clothing by tracing the doll through white paper and creating totally new designs.Before you know it, the paper dolls are now online. A kid needs only a computer and a good internet connection, and voila, hundreds of websites offering dress up games and more that a girl will pore over for hours on end. On each site are dozens and dozens of games that echo every inch of those past days of paper doll making and playing. Each game usually focuses on a certain theme, like for example a Prom, a fashion show, sometimes even a myth-story! Then all that is left to do is to choose items of clothing from the attire menu available to spruce up her online base.But what makes these sites click among the young? What’s good about about the online dress up games is that you can update your range of choices for the games and websites frequently. This is an amazing leap forward from the paper version which was limited to what was within reach. Some dress up games are so focused and narrowed to a particular setting that they only have a few clothing options. Others are essentially a basic dress-up game, capable of accommodating a rich variety of looks. The same goes for the accessories, of which there are a couple for practically every situation.There are those thinking that dress up games are nothing more than that, but perhaps they haven’t seen the creativity aspect of these online games. Did you know that aside from dress-up, there are also a few more uses for the images of a doll from a dress-up game? Avatars – In case some one needs an image for a social networking or a forum profile, you simply need a doll that she you really like, save the file on the desktop or laptop as an image file, and then upload the image to her profile. So no more need to show her own image which is risky,  and on the other hand no more showing of the family pet rabbit’s face on Facebook.Story Illustrations – Why not use the dolls for a story writing test in creativity? A kid-designer out there might only need to write about a mermaid story before realizing a latent writing skill.

There is a unique style that can be followed for every other wedding you attend depending on the location, the time and the season. If the invitation is addressed formally, it implies that the guests are required to dress formally for the occasion. On the other hand, a casual invite suggests that the guests can dress casually for the wedding.
For selecting what to wear, the wedding location can be of great help. For a beach wedding or a wedding in a lawn, steer clear of high heels as they tend to sink in the sand and the grass respectively. For an outdoor wedding, very light dresses have to be shunned as they tend to get caught with the wind. A subtle dress can be worn for a wedding at a warm and humid location. However, if the wedding is to take place at a club or a five-star restaurant, you can prefer being wearing a tailored suit or any other dressy outfit.
# OUTFITS FOR THE SUNSHINE WEDDING:-
For the 40+ women:-
1. A nice fitted skirt with a sweater and sling back shoes.
2. A suit in a subtle color which is not too formal.
3. A dress with a nice floral pattern.
4. A striking hat which would go well with the outfit and would compliment it.
For the 40+ men:-
1. A linen or seersucker suit in a light color is the most apt outfit for a summer wedding.
2. For winter weddings, go for darker shades and warmer fabrics. Woolen suits, charcoal pants, ties and a sweater beneath the blazer are a nice option.
3. A blazer together with a dress shirt, pants and a tie is another elegant option.
4. If the wedding is before 6pm, a tuxedo can be adorned.
5. For a wedding which is formal, a dark colored suit is the best bet.
# OUTFITS FOR THE EVENING WEDDING:-
For the 40+ women:-
1. Dressing for an evening wedding should be similar to the way we dress for a theatre or dinner.
2. An elegant and not so revealing cocktail number in black is an excellent option.
3. A dressy cocktail suit is also a safe bet.
4. Sequins and beads are to be avoided if the wedding is a formal one.
5. Darker colors would help present your self in a more sophisticated way.
For the 40+ men:-
1. For a semi-formal or casual wedding, slacks coupled with blazer and a matching tie can be sported.
2. Suits in dark colors are always accepted and most preferred.
# FOR THE FORMAL WEDDING:-
For the 40+ women:-
1. A gorgeous cocktail dress touching the floor.
For the 40+ men:-
1. The dress should be really formal.
2. Tuxedo is the best option for such an occasion.
WHAT NOT TO WEAR!
- Anything too revealing and sexy.
- A dark colored outfit for a morning wedding.
- White should be dissuaded. Especially, a white colored outfit without any prints. This is because; it would steal the limelight away from the bride.
- Jeans
- Tattered and tainted dress must not be worn.
- Too small or too big dresses are also out of question.
- If the wedding is a religious one, sleeveless and strapless dresses are to be avoided. Bare shoulders have to be covered.
SUITABLE ETIQUETTE FOR WEDDING GUESTS:-
-Punctuality is vital. It is necessary to be present in the venue of the wedding at least fifteen minutes before the start of the ceremonies so that there is enough time to find a seat and settle down.
- Purity of the wedding has to be preserved. Guests should avoid clicking pictures. They should rather let the photographers do their task properly.
- Gifts need not be brought to the venue of the wedding. They can rather be delivered to the house of the couple anytime within one year from the date of wedding.
- In case of failure to make it to the wedding, the gift becomes an essential.
- Bringing uninvited guest is considered discourteous. Bringing is permitted only if it has been mentioned in the invite.
- Getting drunk at a wedding reception is disrespectful and offensive.
- Unwanted mingling with people you hardly know should also be avoided.

After all, they are way more advanced then plastic baby dolls. Anyway, here are the fun tips:
- Instead of opting for a fashion magazine – which, in many cases, presents highly unaffordable clothes – take a peak in these girls’ wardrobes! Not sure if lines are in and if dots are out? Did you hear rumors about yellow being the next hit color, but you still doubt it? These dolls can help you out! They can show you the latest trends, they can help you shop and get original ideas.
- It would be fun to see what men think about how a woman should dress. They have to admit it: when it comes to shopping and fashion, most of them say ‘pass’. And this shows! A fun idea is to ask your boyfriend dress up these virtual girls. If all he places on the girl’s figure is a pair of high heeled sandals, the tinniest miniskirt you have ever seen and a minuscule tight top, then you get the picture. Or perhaps he will prove to be quite good at it and at least manage to match colors.
- You can find plenty of games that give you the chance to dress up like you always wished, but never could. Maybe your dear parents never let you bleach your hair blonde or wear leather pants with spikes well, here is your chance to experiment with the things you like! But even more, you could dress for the red carpet, in glamorous dresses or, why not, you could dress up a bridal doll, with the perfect wedding dress, vale, wedding shoes and the whole package!
- Dress-up games can also be played by multiple players, did you know that? How? Well, take your friend, select one of the games and give each other different dress-up tasks, such as: the best outfit to visit grandma, the most suitable look for girl’s night out, for a first date, for a job interview or for a pajama party! Can you manage to get just the right look for such occasions? Hey, but don’t stop just here: make a contest called “the worst dressed” or the “worst match” – now that’s a challenge!
These dress-up games sure sound like loads of fun, don’t they? And we are not sure they were actually originally destined to the little ones. After all, in some cases, we are dealing with extravagant outfits and vanguard fashion – not the kind the youngest ones like or understand. But besides these highly fashionable dolls that look like they are in their late teens or 20′s, there are some dolls that actually look like little girls and who obviously own baby-doll dresses with frills and bows. Let’s reserve them for the little girls and let’s have fun with the other fashion icon dolls!

Shoe shopping may just be the one type of shopping where the Internet does not offer the most convenience.

Day 5-15-08My gorgeous sexy pageant gown arrived today-special delivery! Though it was a very short wait, I had to fight the urge to stalk the mail carrier. How could I not be excited about the perfect evening gown?! Let me backtrack a little. I am a curvy pageant queen. After quite a few years out of the royal spotlight, I am once again competing. Of course, I want to make my big comeback in new clothes! Money is tight but where there is a will there is a way. I have no shame admitting that I was doing a search for cheap dresses when I came across NextEve.com. Expecting to find a choice of 2 or 3 dowdy selections for plus sized women (like the other sites I visited) I was not ready for what I found! It was formal gown heaven. Any gown that my little heart desired would fit my ample beautiful curves! NO limits set by size availability. The styles of dresses were diverse; elegant ball gowns, sexy sheaths, cute and flirty cocktail dresses. Though I was looking for a pageant gown, I had to browse every inch of the site!!! All of a sudden, there it was staring back at me- my 14K golden dream dress. I am sooooo ready for the pageant’s evening gown competition.Day 5-28-08A month from today I get to strut my stuff in my beautiful evening gown. It’s amazing how an awesome gown can transform a woman. Not only by looks. You feel like you are queen of the world! It changes your walk to almost a floating glide. Your posture becomes straight and tall. How wonderful it is to feel as beautiful as you look!Though I am a curvy girl, I chose a sheath style dress. A sheath dress is completely form fitting. Most of the gowns you see on celebrities at awards shows are of sheath design-yes, second skins. My dress isn’t skin tight but it is worthy of gracing the red carpet. It kind of has a sexy French lingerie look to it. Gorgeous warm gold satin has a lace overlay at the waist with boning that resembles a corset. The bust line is caressed in pleated black tulle netting. The skirt has an overlay of black tulle netting also for a soft romantic touch. I am so in awe of this evening gown! It’s like getting an engagement ring-you can’t stop looking at it…then you look at it once more to make sure it’s still there! Now I have to figure out a killer hairstyle to compliment it. Day 6-20-08I am in the final countdown with a week to go!!! It is so stressful but totally exciting at the same time. There is so much that goes into preparing for a pageant. The right hair, make up, getting your nails (hand and toes) done, shoes, appropriate outfits and the perfect evening gown. Don’t have to worry about the gown at all. I’ve decised on a classy French roll for my hair. Since my face is round, I will have the typical “pageant pouf” bangs combed over to the side with sexy tendrils of curls at the tips. I am also placing a bundle of curls and whisps on top of the roll for a more contemporary and sexy look. That will be the perfect accent to the sexy French flair of the gown! I’ve been walking around the house in my clear heels so I won’t be wobbly on stage. Getting into the “float on air” mode isn’t easy after being out of the competition ring for about 7 years! Concentrating on last minute details won’t leave much time to write. We’ll catch up when I’m back at home. I’ll make up for it when you hear about all of the awesome gowns I know I’ll see at Nationals. Well, Myrtle Beach, here I come!!!Day 7-3-08Let me tell you, there’s no place like home! Though Myrtle Beach was gorgeous beyond words, it’s good to be back! Pageant time was jam-packed full of rehearsals, photographs and high heels….it hurts to be beautiful!!! Speaking of beautiful, I was blown away by the variety of dresses my pageant sisters chose for the evening gown competition! The younger girls rocked the ball gowns this year! One “Pre-Teen Miss” was so beautiful, she made Cinderella look like one of the ugly stepsisters! Her ballgown was the sweetest shade of bubblegum pink I have ever seen. The corseted top was spaghetti strapped and kissed with aurora borealis rhinestones. The lace up back was fully functional with a shimmering satin ribbon running through it. The fanciful skirt had layer upon layer of billowy tulle netting gleaming with rhinestones sprinkled randomly. Her delicate little frame was not lost in this abundant dress. She glided across the stage with the grace and elegance of a veteran pageant queen. She owned the stage and completely wowed the judges. Her dress was an accessory for the natural inner beauty that was shining out from within her! A “Jr. Miss” contestant wore a white strapless ballgown that had rhinestones sprinkled at the bust line. The skirt was full with a glorious train sweeping behind her. The most awesome feature of her gown was that the skirt was completely covered with white roses made of tulle netting all the way to the tip of the train. The centers were soft pink netting with rhinestone accents. With her curly blonde hair softly swept up on top of her head, she looked like a young angel in an enchanted garden. She was definitely a sight to behold! Day 8-10-08We older contestants were equally as glam. We don’t age-we mellow like a fine wine! One of the “Mrs. Woman” contestants displayed her beautiful figure in a sheath prima donna gown made of champagne satin with a sexy black lace overlay. Her gown was covered in crystals that glimmered with each movement. The lacey edged split in the middle of the skirting exposed a flash of her legs as she took her beauty walk. A small regal train swept out behind her. What a sultry vision of elegance! Less was more for one “Woman” contestant. Her gown was a satin strapless with an empire waistline in rich navy blue. There was an exquisite rhinestone brooch just below the bust that gave the flowing satin of her gown that sparkling touch of class! She made quite a statement without saying a word. In the “Classic Ms.” division, I sported my 14k golden gown and got lots of “Oooooo’s” and “look at yours” from my pageant sisters. No one had a gown like mine-not even the same color and I couldn’t have been more pleased. I thrive on standing apart in a crowd! A diva in my division competed in 2 pageants that weekend. She was breathtaking in both competitions. For one pageant she wore a black halter with a tiered ruffled skirt and magenta sash-stunning!!! A sassy haltered satin mermaid style in fuchsia was her gown of choice for the pageant we competed in together. It’s hard to put into words the glamour that she possessed! Alas, she won the crown and I am her first runner up. Someone blinded by the sparkle of the crown would say that I lost. I say that I’ve won something priceless. A lifelong friendship has developed between the new queen and me. Long after our reign is over and the crowns are on the shelf-our friendship will continue.
