(At my age, my parents were saving up to buy a house and planning for the future lol.) BUT. Yes, I’m fully aware that I’m a 30-year-old playing a dress-up game targeted at tweens and teens. So a couple of months ago, out of boredom, I downloaded this mobile game called Time Princess. But once in a while, something comes along that takes you back to simpler times. It certainly helped me as a child to exercise my creativity, especially when ‘designing’ my doll costumes and coming up with storylines for my doll theatre lol.Īs you grow older, you tend to grow out of things too. The best part was that they were inexpensive: you could buy them from the stationery shop for a couple of ringgit, or better yet, make your own. Thinking about it now, it’s brilliant how something so simple could provide hours of entertainment – all you needed was a pair of scissors, and a whole lot of imagination. The ‘clothes’ were held in place with folded paper tabs. When I was growing up in the 90s, paper doll cutouts were all the rage.įor the benefit of my younger readers, these were basically booklets containing figures (mostly girls, but sometimes they had boys too), which you could cut out and dress up with outfits.
