MALIBU, California - Barbie's Malibu Dream House is coming true. On the eve of her 50th birthday, interior decorator Jonathan Adler has decked out a real-life 3,500 square foot (325 square meter) place overlooking the Pacific Ocean to look like the blond doll's outrageous home.
Adler lined Barbie's bedroom with wall-to-wall pink carpeting emblazoned with her initial. The closet is filled with 50 pairs of pink peep-toe heels while her kitchen is stocked with cupcake-making ingredients. An in-house museum features 25 vintage Barbie dolls on display.
In the garage? A pink Volkswagen New Beetle with a motorized pop-up vanity in the trunk. "I think this really is Barbie's Malibu Dream House because the setting is so incredibly dreamy and ethereal," Adler said. "We're perched on a cliff in Malibu overlooking the ocean. It's a fantasyland for anyone. It was difficult to find the house to celebrate Barbie's 50th birthday because it had to be the ultimate Malibu house, and I think we found it."
Following the festivities, most of Barbie's custom decor will be shipped to the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas to furnish a special pink-tinted Barbie Suite that will be available for bachelorette parties, birthdays or anyone who wants to live like Barbie.
Other items will be available from the "Jonathan Adler Loves Barbie" collection launching in September.
