Jonathan Adler is my hero. In this video, the New Jersey born interior designer gives us a tour of his Barbie Malibu Dream House.OMG, it would make me so happy to live in a home like this! Unfortunately, my husband would never go for it. Did I ever mention how he won’t let me paint the exterior of our house pink? The bastard!
Anyway, that Barbie sunburst?! Tears came to my eyes when I saw that! And believe you me, I have enough Barbies to make one of my own. Hubby be damned!
The Barbie chair? I gasped aloud when he turned it around to reveal the back.
The chandelier? Ok, I already kvelled over that one in a previous post.
Now mind you, I never played with Barbies. The few I might have come across in my youth, I tore apart. Much like I do now. But I’m obsessed with transformed Barbies. Why is that? Who cares? I’m gonna go make me a sunburst mirror.

I hope those Peruvians were paid at least minimum wage for making that rug. We don’t need “Sweatshop Boss” Barbie!

Wait, do you know something about Jonathan Adler’s labor practices? La,la, la, I can’t hear you!
I get paid less than a Peruvian sweatshop worker.
