A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Princess at Big Fashion Sale. During much of the 19th century in the United States, visibly painted cosmetics became socially unacceptable even though beauty practices never disappeared. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. So a round of Princess at Big Fashion Sale is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer fashion and style timeline.
