A strange little side quest
Put Little Girl Makeover next to the history of fashion and style and a few unexpected connections appear. During much of the 19th century in the United States, visibly painted cosmetics became socially unacceptable even though beauty practices never disappeared. And then there is this: Street Fighter II, released in 1991, turned head-to-head arcade fighting into a worldwide phenomenon and helped define the modern fighting-game genre. So a round of Little Girl Makeover is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer fashion and style timeline.
