The Evolution Of Paper Dolls

Probably the most popular games today,all over the world across different cultures, is fashion games often known as dress up games. Made from paper, paper dolls became the origin of fashion games. Dating back to Japan in at least 900 A.D., the first traceable paper doll has been found. From that point, paper dolls were created not as toys but objects for rituals. As opposed to what we know paper dolls to be created for today, they were then crafted as 3-dimensional dolls. Decades later, paper dolls have been posted on magazines and comics as an icon. When Barbie emerged the recognition of paper dolls had declined. And from now on fashion games among young female audiences have changed playing even these traditional type dolls.

These web based games were developed by several websites when computers and the world wide web became famous. Included as part of the variety of designs were user interfaces and multi-media features. It was designed to be browser-based letting the player drag and drop different clothes onto a digital doll image. Making use of Macromedia flash platform, fashion games don’t need an installation of software. All you require is an internet connection and a working updated browser. This platform boosts the usability and handiness of these online games.

Influenced by Japanese anime cartoons, most of the fashion games creators have made their dolls appealing to a majority of audiences across the world. The design of fashion games nowadays have been patterned to the latest trends in fashion. The development of each fashion game has improved over time.

Do you still have any childhood toys?

I still have my Barbie doll who has a big bald spot in center of head and Ken who now is bald headed (he had the peach fuzz hair) and my Penny doll. I could never part with them. I do wish I kept my paper dolls but they had so much tape on them, I guess Mom threw them away. Oh yes, and a set of ceramic tea dishes which most have been glued back together.

Mom gave me 2 pair of my baby shoes, a lock of hair and my Alice in Wonderland watch which still works. It fits around 2 of my fingers now.

What have you kept? I would love to know to see if I remember them.

I still own a nice collection of Barbies from the 70′s mostly and a lot of their fashions, my Mom was into clothes and she bought me a fabulous wardrobe for Barbie….I also have Tutti and Todd, Barbies little brother and sister(I think), and Skipper too. I had a Midge doll but she was lost many years ago. I have a Thumbelina doll I got when I had my tonsils out at 6. She is looking rough but I love her.
