Girl Tech Stylin Studio digi Game

Posted on | December 17, 2008 | Comments Off

When writing about gifts for kids, I am often faced with the gender dilemma: should I label a game or a toy as gender specific?

With this particular computer game, the problem has been solved by the makers. It’s proudly called “Girl Tech” and marketed for girls only. A shame, in a sense, for all those fashion conscious boys who dream of becoming the next Versace, if you ask me.

So what is the Girl Tech Stylin studio game? Essentially, this is a computer game that comes with its own digital camera and touchpad console. The girls (or boys, I can’t resist), use the camera to take their picture, then use the software for a digital makeover, including make-up, hair, clothing and accessories.

A cool combination between dressing up dolls and being a digital stylist, or using one of those applications that lets you check out different hairstyles. I remember myself as a teenager, some twenty years ago, spending hours upon hours with a page of different hairstyles, each with a cut out space for placing your own photo inside. I can only imagine how addictive the Girl Tech Digi can be for young girls today!

Great gift, gadgety and girly at the same time! This one isn’t too cheap, priced at $99 at Amazon, but it does include both the camera and the touchpad console, so I guess you have to pay for that.

Click for full details on Amazon – you can still order this one for the Holidays!
