A Real-Life Barbie House
by Homesessive
She doesn't look 50! Barbie has already hit the half-century mark. Designer Jonathan Adler teamed up with Mattel to give the original blond bombshell's space a makeover. Adler designed a human-sized--but Barbie-worthy--bedroom, living room, and closet in an actual Malibu beach house to host her star-studded birthday festivities. See Adler's design and Barbie's previous apartment, cottage, and townhouse here. The woman's got it all, doesn't she?
