They really do have an obsession with fashion. Just take a look at Imagine Family Doctor, Imagine Fashion Designer, Imagine Fashion Designer New York, Imagine Fashion Designer World Tour, Imagine Fashion Model, Imagine Fashion Paradise and Imagine Fashion Stylist, not to mention Imagine: Babyz Fashion.
 
Writing the word "imagine" out so many times has made it begin to look funny. Let me turn my attention to Imagine's competitors: the Let's Play series for the DS.
  1. Let's Play Ballerina
  2. Let's Play Fashion Designer
  3. Let's Play Firemen
  4. Let's Play Flight Attendant
  5. Let's Play Garden
  6. Let's Play Mums
  7. Let's Play Pet Hospitals
  8. Let's Play Schools
  9. Let's Play Shops
  10. Let's Play: Journalists
Someone on GameFAQs pointed out how badly thought out the titles are in their review of Let's Play Flight Attendant.
"Let's Play Flight Attendant has to be the least thought-out title for a children game in the entire Let's Play franchise. Even Let's Play Nurse sounds cleaner than this (by the way, there is no game called Let's Play Nurse, at least not at the time of writing this review). No family friendly words could describe my first thought when I saw the title, so much so that I named my in game character with an s-word, and that word is not stewardess."
