What's It About?
The main attraction on this site is the \"Fashion Emergency!\" game where you dress up the Diva Starz dolls by clicking on various tops, bottoms, shoes, and accessories. And of course, while you're there, you're encouraged to buy the real dolls (made by Mattel) as well as their clothes and accessories.
Is It Any Good?
If your daughter likes fashion and dress-up games, the ones at this site will more than satisfy. But beware that many of the games either promote shopping or actually sell products.
