Girls and gaming: Would you rather race a car or watch a fashion week fashion show?

Sure, when I was a little girl I played with Barbies. Then I got older and like my brother, discovered the world of video games. I played Sonic when we had our Sega, and then I seriously played Mario tennis when we got N64. And I was good!

And then I outgrew video games.

For me, computer games became the new video games, and a game where I could create plays that came to life, control people or families, and build roller coasters became games I played. And then I kind of outgrew these games and instead spent my time on AOL and then AIM and then I got older and became obsessed with social applications ie facebook (of course).

But this post isn't about facebook.. shocking, I know... It's actually about games. More specifically it's about iPhone applications.

As I have already said, I am NOT a gamer.
I like fashion.
and I like technology.
I would consider myself kind of a chic geek.
So, I downloaded the Style.com iPhone application, and I have to confess: I'm kind of in love.

This application is fabulous! While sitting on the train, or in the doctor's office I was able to watch some beautiful fashion shows and read some very cool posts from the Style.com site. Personally, I would rather watch a Fashion Week fashion show then play some boring, addictive game.

Now, I'll be honest... I really did try out the games!
On my way into the city, I had about an hour to kill, and decided why not go a little crazy and download some games.
I downloaded the iDoodle and Anaconda applications.
I figured these two applications would be a fun throwback to my beloved microsoft paint program and the nokia snake game that I loved.

But, after a few minutes I was not that impressed. Thankfully, I have plenty of other ways to entertain myself with my phone. Playing unimpressive, trivial games really didn't do it for me! Maybe there will be more girly games in the future for us divas to play on our iPhones, but for now, I'll have to stick to the applications I've got!

I know that Chanel already has an iPhone application. And yes, I have already downloaded it. Will this be a trend? Will more fashion forward brands expand their horizons to reach more of their consumers via their phones? Not a bad idea....

So girls.. Am I alone? Who else would rather peruse the latest fashion than play a game?
