Lifetime TV: we bet female gamers can't wait to micromanage Sally's Spa

Hey ladies, put those Halo controllers down. Sure, you've proven over the course of video game development that great games made for guys can also appeal to you, but Lifetime TV knows you're really crying out for something else.  Warcraft?  Too violent.  Nintendogs?  Too obvious. Wait until we put you in charge of building an empire with pedicures!

The Lifetime cable network and digital media company RealNetworks Inc. announced a partnership this week to create a series of downloadable games for women. The first game, "Sally's Salon," is set to launch July 25 on RealArcade, RealNetworks' casual games site, and on Lifetime's own Web site. In it, players direct Sally through a virtual beauty salon by performing and customizing beauty services and hiring employees.

If only I had a vagina!  The concept seems to have gone way over my head, but we can only hope it will fill the casual games void that Dope Wars did for little boys worldwide.  Although not confirmed, future Lifetime titles were also rumored.  Be on the look out for Being on the phone with mom for hours and I went shopping for something but I also bought all this other shit on RealNetworks someday.
