The Real Barbie Malibu Dream House
On the 50th anniversary of the first Barbie doll, interior decorator Jonathan Adler has create a 3,500 real version of the Barbie Malibu Dream House. With artwork by Andy Warhol and a chandelier made up of 30 blonde wigs, the home is an artistic representation of the plastic home in millions of little girls rooms.
Adler, who was commissioned by toy maker Mattel Inc. to decorate the house for Monday’s party, said outfitting the sleek mansion (a property that’s frequently rented for film and photography shoots) took six months of planning and a few weeks to install.
“Barbie was a dream client because she doesn’t exist as a person,” Adler said. “She exists as fantasy and is the perfect client because she’s always happy and fun and loves everything. I thought to myself, ‘How would Barbie live?’ What I thought was Barbie would have a house that is glamorous, kittenish, chic, colorful and happy — as well as functional.”

It looks like she kicked Ken to the curb! I think they put too much thought into this. 6 months to decorate a Barbie Doll house? Seems like they had too much time on thier hands.
