If you know the name biglipbarbie anywhere else on the internet it's probably because that's the name I use for (most) of my other public social media accounts. This, however, if not my main Tumblr blog. You can follow my main @sillyprettyfairy.
Biglipbarbie is a blog specifically intended to carve out space for me to post about the virtual worlds and fashion games I play and have been playing for years. Over time I've felt more isolated from the communities associated with these games as someone who is Black, queer, and politically progressive. Discord servers meant to foster community have made me feel more like an outsider and even chat rooms within these games leave me wondering why I even play.
To keep my passion for these games alive and to document my outfits, thoughts, and rambles I chose to make this sideblog.
Black girls and women are welcome here. Queer people are welcome here. Disabled folk are welcome here. Whimsical cuties of all stripes are welcome here!

I've been a bit inactive, so here all the outfits I made in the month I haven't posted (I'm so sorry!)
Woozworld
MSP/MSP2
If you'd like any outfit details you can send in an ask and I'll break down all the items used for whichever outfit you'd like that I've posted here. All my MSP(1) outfits are available in my looks and can be bought. My username is TheLostSailor.
It's been about a month, sorry! Time gets lost with me a lot and things feel like they happened closer in time than they actually did. I might start making outfit roundup posts and shorter mini-articles or rants soon so look out for that.
On MSP(1) you really do have to make your own fun bc nobody in those chat rooms wants to talk and even when they do it's to give the most uneducated hot take on earth

This look is probably years old at this point and yet I still have it saved because it's one of my favorites and I simply can't bear to part with it. The color combo is top tier and the face is one I don't get to use often as it usually doesn't match the looks I make.
Items Used:
Rabbit Ear Hood
Kawaii Brilliant Face
Long Alt Varsity Jacket
Leather Diablo Rojo Pants
Anise Mary-Jane Shoes w/ Argyle Socks
Fawn Tattoo
Long Light Pink Nails
Bear Cub Purse
Making outfits in IMVU as someone disinterested in looking sexy or being sexualized is an uphill battle. That being said, I manage. This look ended up being entirely bear-themed as I kept making it and I think it turned out cute. Since IMVU is a 3D game you get a front and back of the outfit view!
Items Used:
Hair/Hat
Necklace
Crop top
Cropped sweater
Pants
Sneakers
Sorry I was inactive for a hot minute! Managing my mental health is hard but I just wrote and posted the blog's first article about my feelings of marginalization in virtual worlds as a young Black girl! I'll post more I prommy. In the meantime please take a little looksie if that interests you.
I was in 5th grade at the time. For about 2 or 3 years I'd been playing this game I'd randomly stumbled across on a list of virtual worlds. The game was called Woozworld. I was around 12 at the time. I didn't know it yet but despite being raised by two Black parents in a Black neighborhood where I attended Black church and went to predominantly Black private and charter schools, I had internalized anti-Blackness.
This was the kind of anti-Blackness that wasn't obvious or that'd really be expressed towards others. It was purely a self-worth issue. And I didn't realize it. At the time I'd been getting my hair permed and maintained at the local salon because there were no quirky cute Black girls on television for me to aspire to look like. So I picked Miranda Cosgrove instead. I was forming interest in white boy bands and white Youtubers and cartoons with all-white casts. It was quite bleak. And I didn't realize it.
When I'd made my Woozworld avatar I chose to escape into a fantasy where I didn't have brown skin and kinky 4c black hair. I was a white girl with long flowing red bouncy wavy curls and green eyes who dressed cool and was (supposedly) 16 years old. I lied about my age and about my racial identity without even realizing it.
My Blackness was never a secret, though. I'd tell my Woozworld friends that I was Black very openly. It was something that was part of me only passively in this world but I knew it was the objective truth. And as a kid I didn't think to verbally lie about my race.
One day another player, a Black boy, asked me a question directly when we were alone, away from the prying eyes of our white friends.
"Are you black in real life?"
I naturally said yes. Yes, I am Black. Of course I am. Was that not obvious? To me it was an incredibly silly question. How could someone question my Blackness when I seemingly never made it secret? The only difference was that his avatar had dark brown skin and was styled in a red baseball cap with baggy pants, an oversized shirt, and sneakers.
As an adult this moment is hard to not look back on and cringe for a multitude of reasons. But the main one is the realization that I'd been performing an acceptable version of Black girlhood for my white online friends and that this Black boy saw it for what it was. I was white. Not in real life, no. But digitally. I was being perceived the way I wanted but the way I wanted to be perceived was white.
This pattern of creating in-game avatars that looked like white girls wouldn't stop here, though. It lasted me up until some time in middle school when I'd slowly begun watching videos and reading articles and hanging out on Tumblr and engaging more and more with Blackness beyond the surface-level understanding that it was a label thrust upon me based on my physical appearance and lineage meant to make life harder.
I'm 22 now and no longer in school. All my avatars now sport my skin tone and dark brown eyes and reflect my personality and real-life sense of style and whimsy and quirkiness more accurately. Even still, my existence within these virtual worlds feels conditional and incredibly lonely.
Gone are the days of being young and blissfully ignorant and unaware. Now when I see openly spewed anti-Black rhetoric, misogynoir, and lgbtphobia I'm able to see it for what it is. And it keeps me away from every chatroom, every Discord server, and every event that's been created for the majority non-Black playerbase. When I see Sowilo say that Black hairstyles are "just hair" I feel unwelcome. When new fashion games release without limited or broken skin tone options and a lack of Black hairstyles I feel unwelcome. When I go into servers meant for community only to find ableist staff and cruel community members looking for marginalized people to target I feel unwelcome.
And over time this unwelcomeness has become a problem.
I want to play these games. I want to have community in these games. I want to make friends and participate and feel like I belong. But everyone who does make me feel like I belong ends up feeling unwelcome as well. And so they either refuse to play or they leave entirely. It's a sick paradox, isn't it? Those that are kind and welcoming and diverse eventually all leave as a result of the unkind and unwelcoming community. And then all that's left is the unkindness, leading to more people taking their leave and creating a space that is, at its core, toxic.
The title of this article asks if I'm allowed to be Black in virtual worlds. The answer is complicated. While my racial self-esteem is being rebuilt consciously as an adult invested in Black liberation and my own self-actualization, I ironically feel the most isolated I ever have in a community built on fashion, fun, and self-expression. Finding community in these spaces is hard, and I no longer have the capacity or bandwidth I did when I was younger to create and maintain something like a Discord server to address this.
So, what's the solution? I'm not sure. A good first step would be for games (cough cough Woozworld especially) to spend more of their time moderating and taking hard clear stances on appropriate language and behavior towards marginalized people. As it stands, I limit my in-game interactions with players and only log in for rewards and to dress up these days.
If you managed to read the entire article please share your own thoughts and experiences if you'd like. I'm interested to hear what others have to say. I'm not sure this makes for a very satisfying conclusion, but please know this blog is meant to function as a safe space for marginalized communities, particularly Black women and queer people, in fashion games and virtual worlds.
This look was definitely made for Halloween in 2025. I didn't have much of a concept for this look outside of using a dark red to represent blood and using generally "spooky" items. It's giving...kawaii spider witch? Not my best look and not one of my favorites but it's cute nonetheless.

I made this look quite a while ago, but I still have it saved in my outfits on Woozworld because it's just too cute! I love a good through-line of motifs and theming and this look definitely fits that bill. I'm not sure if I made this in Spring, but it's quite timely for the now. I honestly used to have an obsession with this skirt. I should return to it again eventually.

This will likely be inconsistent but I'll be trying to post at least one look from one of the four core fashion-based games I play (Woozworld, IMVU, Moviestarplanet and Moviestarplanet2) daily! I use wheel spins and random number pickers to get a random outfit.
Today's look is from Woozworld
I already had the colors for this outfit saved as I'd used them before for other outfits. And as a professional pink and purple enjoyer it just made sense to go in a direction that felt familiar to me. I won't make it a secret that I actually heavily dislike creating outfits in Woozworld for a host of reasons I'll get into another day, but I'd been wearing the same outfit for several months and wanted a change.
I wanted the outfit to revolve around the bloomers and giant pigtails to create a fun and cute silhouette with aesthetically pleasing proportions. The bloomers reminded me of clowns and so the concept was born. I added bow and heart motifs to the look for the extra maximal kawaiiness of it all and everything came together.
