Introducing Barbie's Virtual World, BarbieGirls.com

Wednesday April 18, 2007
Barbie Girl from BarbieGirl.comLast week, when I wrote my article Are We Ready For Dolls 2.0? I wasn't yet aware of the new BarbieGirls.com Web site. As I just discovered, BarbieGirls.com is a brand new, virtual Barbie world where you create your own Barbie avatar. In Barbie World (still in Beta) you can dress your Barbie Girl, decorate her house, play games and safely network with others. It seems that genious toy maker Ty Werner and Mattel, Inc. both had the idea for a doll-based virtual world nearly simultaneously, with both TyGirlz.com and BarbieGirls.com debuting this month. I've already taken the Beta of BarbieGirlz.com out for a test drive--see what I think in my BarbieGirls.com (Beta) Review.

Hello i love barbiegirls website! It is super fun and super safe! However it is kind of hard to get a b doll to unlock the latest fashions if the coast is so high. Maybe the maker should try lowering the price some. Ok thanks bye bye!

(11) miranda says:

i hate how the website wont ever let me in a lot of times. and the fact that when you want to tell something to someone, you have your words blocked. it doesnt make any sense to the person that you’re talking to. its way too confusing, thanks and please try to fix it. thank you.

August 9, 2007 at 10:50 pm
(12) miranda says:

i think that the website should also let girls get whatever they want even if they arent a barbiegirls. believe me, i love barbie girls world, but sometimes, i need to let you know these type of things. sorry if i am a brat, but please try to fix all these thing. thanks.

(32) lauren says:

To get on ty-girlz you need a doll to purchase and then open the heart shpae mini thing.
You will find a short black rectangle,sractch the black rectangle of with your nail or a coin.
The code will be hiden underneath it.
When you see the code go on ty-girlz click new member it will say enter your code.
So then what you need to do is enter the code and click okay then you are in the ty-gilz world. create your own avatar desiyn your own room shop your furniture and food explore the all the malls and adopt a pet.

Have fun in the ty-girlz world!
