Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 5–18

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Not an issue.

  • User-created content:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The message is that fashion, dress-up, being pretty, and imitating teen-speak is something to aspire to. Also that hot pink is the only color for girls.

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Some of the characters' comments have an edge to them, such as "I don't think so!" and "gross-o-matic."

  • Consumerism:

    DivaStarz is just one portion of this site, which is really an online catalog that hooks girls with games and activities (many based on the products for sale), and lets you make wishlists and actual purchases.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

How safe is it?

  • Personal privacy:

    Not an issue.

  • Online interaction:

    Not an issue.

  • Parental controls:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About DivaStarz

Parents need to know that this site is part of the Everything Girl Web site, an uber-site that aggregates several girl-targeted games mostly having to do with fashion, dress-up, and toys. There are loads of ads and some of the ads are disguised as games.
