Hmmm. This has been loitering around the web for a few days but it only just arrived it in the gamesblog inbox (from the same crew who sent the invite to meet Miss Playboy UK earlier in the year). Frag Dolls UK is a Spice Girls-like collective in search of women who want to break down the gender barriers of gaming while competing in video gaming tournaments. Fantastic, I say.
They've been around since Summer 2004 in the US and now Ubisoft want to develop a British branch:
FRAG DOLLS UK will represent women in gaming – girls who are serious about games but want to have fun too … and get paid for it. The members will become role models for other girl gamers, and help encourage more women to play games. Potential candidates for the team must have a positive attitude, extensive gaming knowledge and ability, and - above all - a passion for games.
As an aside, you must also not be afraid of photo shoots, makeup, being promoted as a product, strange men staring at you - but not speaking to you - and constantly being challenged at your skill 'cause you're female.
All interested parties, head here. Alternatively, get in touch with gamesblog and we'll follow your path to girl gamer stardom.
