Brit Chicks

The Brit Chicks -- Eva, Mica, and Honey -- are a fabricated, animated London-based girl band. They’re also the glamorous hostesses of the BRITCHICKS website, the virtual world that lets tween girls pretend they’re part of an entourage. The site offers the requisite avatar that can be dressed-up and dolled-up, along with a variety of clothes, accessories, and furnishings that can be bought for credits earned through games and adventures peppered throughout the site. Downloads of the band’s songs are available, and a visit to Chick Central lets avatars converse with the girls in the band, who make comments like “Have you ever thought of being a model?”  Girls who are enamored with models and pop stars will be drawn to this celebrity-centric site and its glamorous group members who jet around the world, have adoring fans and are followed by the paparazzi. There’s no shortage of superficiality here, but it’s a safe and harmless place to have a brief brush with (fake) fame.

Online interaction: Users can use the free chat to talk with other avatars using
pre-approved phrases such as “I like shopping” and “Do you like my
outfit?”
