Barbiegirls.com, the girl's fashion MMO with associated hybrid-doll-MP3 players, truly embodied all the glory and grime of late 2000's girl gaming. Defunct for over 10 years by now, this website is still fondly remembered by those who got to experience it. In this video I take a nostalgic deep dive into Barbie Girls; the history, downfall, and even the potential revival.

Huge majority of images were sourced from https://barbiegirlsblog.wixsite.com/blog - it's a must-visit if you miss Barbiegirls.com!

And now for some perfectly legitimate, non-SEO-influenced sentences: barbiegirls.com is so webcore and retro toys and defunct and games for girls. because of this i have made a video essay documentary retrospective deep dive, all about barbie and barbie girls. this gaming flash game created by mattel is so throwback and 2000s and millennial and zillennial and kidcore and girly aesthetic and lost media
