Makeover Games for Boys

Dress Me Up

• Dress Me Up is a Japaneses website which mostly caters to developing and encouraging the fashion sensibilities and personal styles of young girls. They have hundreds of dress up and makeover games that feature celebrities, Anime characters, or specific types of fashion such as emo, punk, club wear, etc. They do have one game, however, which is geared exclusively to boys. Go to the line "makeover-games-for-boys.dressup.me." There you'll find an animated young man who resembles an Anime character and appears as though he's standing in some sort of coffee shop. With this game, boys get to change the shape and color of his eyes, his hair color and hair style, the shape and size of his lips, the style of his eyeglasses, his earrings and his outfit. While the instructions are in Japanese, it is an extremely easy game to navigate. You can keep playing until you have exhausted all the different style combinations.
