Though the make-believey kind of games are usually associated with being under the age of 9, I still thoroughly enjoy dressing up for the sake of dressing up and putting on makeup and making faces at myself in the mirror for a few hours (I am a boy, but I still find it very amusing, and it's just playing pretend... alone... at 3 in the morning.. But I find it very enjoyable)
I go shopping at thrift stores once or twice a week with my mother for everything. Sometimes I get really fancy skirts and dresses and high heeled shoes that I know I'll probably never have an occasion to wear them for other than dancing around my room to upbeat records, but they're fun to wear for that too. I have some super grungey punk outfits and some really pretty pink ones and some indifferent grandmotherly church clothesy ones and I just find it all great. Your clothes say a lot about you, you know!, and when you're wearing a really great outfit you can feel like a totally different person.
I'm still working on the makeup thing though.
