InStyle’s Fashion Game: Instant Stylist
You know how lazy parents sit their rowdy kids in front of the TV and use Disney movies as a babysitting device? I use the same technique with my husband. I sit him in front of the computer and let him play his PC videogames and he’s as happy as a kid watching Harry Potter for the first time. Right now my cute baby is enthralled with his new Batman game. I find him so adorable -his giant headphones wrapped around his head, pajama back facing me, monitor showing how he’s saving the world.
With hubby out of the way, I get the “me” time I need. That means I get full control of the remote and get to catch up on all my DVR-ed shows. I’m a little back-logged and have to catch up on Fashion Hunters, Secrets of a Stylist, My Fair Wedding, Gossip Girl, The Nate Berkus Show and Dina’s Party. While this fabulousity plays in the background, I blog my heart away, catch up on other bloggers’ and fashion newsletter’s posts and respond to personal emails. Then if I still haven’t had enough, I Facebook to see what all my friends are up to. All the while, my hubby is wearing a cape in his little fantasy world.
I never got into video games. I thought Donkey Kong was dopey and Q-bert and Pac Man more frustrating than fun once you got past a certain stage. Then Tetris came along and the strategy side of the game intrigued me until I felt my eyes going blind. The games failed to turn me into an addict. But now, all that may have changed. I think I may have finally found a videogame suited for a girly girl like me!
It’s a styling game called, “instant stylist” where you help to accessorize an InStyle magazine outfit by dragging and dropping items from the right and watching your score change accordingly. I blissfully played and wondered if I could ever get bored of this. haha I think InStyle made this game for me! Though I didn’t agree with all their final answers, I enjoyed the challenges and laughed to myself thinking how different this was from Batman. Try it out and tell me what you think!
