Miss Bimbo


MissBimbo.com is an online fashion game and a social networking site with a mainly female audience. Players look after a 'Bimbo' character as she progress through life.
Tasks in the game include gaining Bimbo Attitude and IQ points, participating in fashion duels and challenges against other players, acquiring boyfriends, making various changes in the Bimbos appearance and training for careers. The game was initially the English version of a French game called Ma Bimbo developed by Beemoov, and was owned and developed by Ltd., London. However, in 2008, Beemoov and Blouzar split, citing difficulties co-operating, leading to Miss Bimbo becoming an independent game site now owned by Blighty Ltd., London.

Controversy

The site was criticized in much media coverage as promoting the use of cosmetic surgery and crash dieting, encouraging potentially pre-teen players to pursue an 'ideal' body image through such measures as the key to success
Jacquart has said that he is working on ways to expand the site and reach out to the media to explain why 75,000 people per day log into the site "without any marketing or ads on the site at all. We have some ideas for new brands, we want to expand Miss Bimbo with social networks.". Defenders of the game claim that the criticism is unfair and out of proportion.

Site closure

Traffic to MissBimbo.com redirects to , which launched on 1 March 2015. Blighty Ltd., the company which owns Miss Bimbo, still has Miss Bimbo on its of sites as of February 2015.
There is currently an alternative website called , owned by Beemoov, which is almost identical to the former Miss Bimbo website.
