WHAT PIXEL CHIX DO -- INSIDER TALKS...

WHAT WILL YOUR PIXEL CHIX DO? Hollywood2020.blogs.com has been checking the web to find lists of what Pixel Chix do and say

--here's a list we just discovered in a review on Amazon.com.

Slips over her banana skin! Pixelwindmill
Cries at sad movies!
A mouse came in and she screamed and jumped on the table!
Slid down the banister!
Spilt her ice-cream everywhere!
Got herself a tan in her bikini!
She does her homework and can go to school in uniform!
She can go to a rock concert!
She puts on ballet shows!
She sings professionally!
She dances professionally!
She hums!
She gives you attitude!
She's always whistling!
She chats on her phone!
She always watches one continuous program on TV!
She does roller skating!
She gets fat from eating and excersises it off!
She does excersises!
She feeds her pets!

THIS POST SAYS YOU GET TO SEE THREE OTHER PEOPLE -- now I did not see the people in my house--the BEVERLY HILLS MANSION -- the people are hinted at-- maybe that's what this reviewer means -- but here is the info which is interesting anyway:

Her boyfriend: Dress her up in her date outfit and then make her go outside and she picks up the phone, whispers "What's up?" and then she says in a much cheerier tone "What should we do?" Then she puts it down, clearly very happy with her call and sits on the couch to wait for him to pick her up. The doorbell rings and she gets up to see him. When she opens the door you see him pass her a rose, "Thank you" she says and they go out together. When she comes back in hearts are flying everywhere and she is cradling her rose!

Her best friend: When you put her in a sexy disco outfit then send her outside she goes to the phone, calls her bezzie and says "Lets go to a party!" Her friend (she has black hair that curls at the end and a matching disco outfit) rings the doorbell and when pixel chix go to her their mouths fall open, they look at each other and then they give each other a big hug before going out and then pixel chix comes out quite content and happy with the party! 

Pizza deliverer: When you are on level 5 and you click 'food' she asks "should i order out?" you have to click yes and then she phones them and says, "1 large pizza thank you" and the doorbell rings and she answers it, takes a pizza from a cheery pizza lady and sits down to eat it.

Goldfish deliverer: You may be aware of the fishy game where it jumps out of its bowl and you have to catch it, if you don't manage it, a cute fish angel flies up to fish-heaven and a few seconds later the door-bell rings. rehtse answers it and a goldfish deliverer gives her a new goldifish and the bowl and its water!
hope you found this helpful! bye!

ANOTHER REVIEWER SAYS: she'll say "I'm not tired!" before sulking upstairs to bed

she'll yawn and sometimes take her cat in her arms and walk up her stairs to bed.

you'll see the upstairs light turn on but you can't see through the window.

She'll wee, flush the chain, walk over to bed, hum her tune and snore.

she will get popcorn out of her fridge, and you can select any food you want! Watermelons, ice-cream, an apple or a packet of pop-corn, even a smoothie!

If you click on the Dressing button, you can click on an outfit for her to go on a date, a party outfit, a roller-blading outfit, casual outfit, nighty with teddy, rain-coat, school uniform, sports outfit, bikini and a ballerina outfit!

The food you can get is popcorn, 3 hamburgers, soup, banana, smoothie, hamburger, chicken leg, watermelon, ice-cream and an apple. 

Games: There are 10 games. Here they are:
Roller blading, singing, dancing, fetch with a dog, give the cat its wool, catch the fish, watch TV, and phone someone, predictor ball, playing the guitar

Another reviewer's Pixel Chix got a suitcase and left... got my pixel chix yesteday what happan today is I was playing my pixel chix and all of sudden the screen was turning black and after that the girl was carrying a suitcase.

GHOSTS FLYING AROUND-- SICK PIXEL CHIX? -- See what this reviewer has to say-- we didn't see a ghost yet in our Mansion at Hollywood2020 but we did see some cobwebs one time! Reviewer says: Then the ghosts came out and the girl had "x" on her eyes and she started vomiting. This isn't the first time this has happened to a toy in our house. In fact, even if the toy is completely inanimate, it still happens. Personally, I like the toy. I think that the change from being all light and happy to glum and dismal is rather great. We were going to return it, but then I thought, hey, my kids can learn that if you don't feed yourself and bathe then you will have ghosts flying around you too. So, it stays.

PIXEL CHIX IN ACTION -- reviewer describes what's happening:

A dog is sniffing round on the floor and he just went upstairs.

He's back nowI press the Yes button and the cat runs downstairs and walks under the table and curls up on the sofa.

I press Games. She is whistling and walking downstairs in her Date outfit! She said "Wanna play a game?" and then goes onto the games menu.

I don't choose a game. I click the Dress button. She appeared in a puff of smoke, looking surprised then smiled and said "Pick something!" I press Dress 4 times and she does a dance moves and says "Fabulous!"

Then she spots the grey cloudy outside and says "Ugh! Bad weather!" Then she taps her foot and frowns impatiently! She sits down at the table and burps. The phone rings and she says "Hello! Wrong number!"

She's tapping her foot again. And she's in her bikini.

Ok, she just burped! Now she just sighed! I clicked Food button and she said "Shall I order out?" I click Yes she picks up the phone and says "Hello! One large pizza! Thank you!"

Then she sits on the sofa and waits. Then the doorbell rings and she answers it and takes the pizza. Then she sits down to eat it and then falls asleep!

Now it is sunny out the window and she says "What shall we do?" A fly comes flying over her head and she looks crossly up at it and swats it. The fly jusr came again. Now she's giving me real attitude for not paying attention.

She just said "Bye!" and her screen went black. It does that if you don't play with her for a few minutes. But she isn't dead. All I have to do is click a button and she's back with me again!

Another reviewer warns: The virtual girl was sticking her tongue out and left the house completely.
