Girl Tech Stylin' Studio: Trying a new look is always nerve-wrecking, unless you get a digital makeover first. Girl Tech's Stylin' Studio is the safe way to give yourself and your friends a virtual makeover without the long term commitment that comes with changing your hairstyle. This studio comes with some high-tech tools including a fun touchpad controller with a built-in digital camera and stylus pen to help you select your looks. Once you upload your picture (or take one with the digital camera) you can experiment with different hairstyles, makeup, clothes, accessories, and even backgrounds. Now all you have to do is save the picture, and upload it to your Facebook profile. Karen tells me celebs like The Clique Girlz, Jordin Sparks, Danity Kane, and The Cheetah Girls all got virtual makeovers with this tool at the Teen Choice Awards earlier this year. You can pick up this studio at Kmart, Target, Amazon, or Walmart. Check out the online version for Stylin' Studio here if you're curious.
