In March, Barbie® doll celebrated five decades as the world’s most popular fashion doll by unveiling a new face and throwing a birthday bash at her real *read: LIFE SIZE* Malibu Dream House®. Unveiling the new Bathing Suit, Barbie® debuted a new face with a more natural look, including a thinner jaw line, more almond-shaped eyes, fuller lips and a softer makeup palette using shimmery pink lip shades and neutral eye colours. She is a modernised version of the original 1959 doll. Always a reflection of fashion, pop culture and aspiration, the new 2009 Bathing Suit Barbie® doll sports a two-piece black-and-white bikini trimmed with Barbie® signature colour – pink with pink hoop earrings, a flirty high ponytail, and one of today’s must-have accessories – a cell phone.

Mattel rolled out the pink carpet for their favourite girl with  a super cool, swanky birthday bash at a 3,500sqft Malibu beach house.

Celebrity event planner, Colin Cowie together with interior designer Jonathan Adler brought Barbie to life with an overwhelming amount of clever details and outrageous dose of ‘girlie girl’ pink to create a larger than life dream lifestyle any girl could ever imagine.

Here are the list of things you’ll need to host a luxe pink party as glamourous as Barbie®.

3,000 pink Roses, 100 Hydrangeas and 300 Ranunculus to make up the centerpieces. 1,800 pairs of Barbie®-sized sunglasses, 3,500 pairs of Barbie® shoes and 3,500 Barbie® handbags to fill custom designed Lucite tables.

65 reproduced dolls of the original 1959 Black & White Bathing Suit® Barbie® doll to create an eye-catching one-of-a-kind wall mirror.

Designer chandelier that consists of 30 blonde wigs and took more than 60 hours to construct, not forgetting the oh-so-stylish corseted “dress” chair.

A girl can never have too many pink custom-made Christian Louboutin shoes in a lifetime!

Over 200 yards of fuchsia velvet fabric to turn the bedroom into the dreamiest place in the house.

To be so girlie and yet so so so cool, you must have a pool table with pink balls!

46 pounds of pink candy lined the dessert table and 1,030 pounds of ice were used to create an ice sculpture of a birthday cake. The back wall of the bar comprised of 750 actual Barbie® dolls and framed by pink jewels.

I really love all these witty phrases that were cleverly communicated:

Signage – A plastic tan never fades

Dessert Bar with a chic message – Eat healthy but always have a decadent dessert

Signature drinks – Ken’s Caiprirosca, Doll-icious!, Strawberry Blonde and It’s a Pink Thing.

and my favourite phrase of them lot -  I wasn’t designed to do housework

To top all that, is a custom-designed Malibu Barbie Beetle® featuring a pop-up vanity.

We’re bringing the entire idea of Barbie alive – how she eats, how she decorates, how she lives, and certainly how she entertains. Barbie is a great client – she has great style, she loves the details, she enjoys her bling and she has tons of amazing imagery for inspiration – you’ll see lots of pink, shine, her famed black-and-white zebra print and always a few Barbie surprises.       – Colin Cowie -

These custom decor and signature pieces from the Malibu Dream House® will be heading to The Palms, Las Vegas, opening the Barbie Suite® for anyone who wants to experience the fantasy and fun of Barbie’s Dream House®. But it kind of freaks me out though, to know just how alive she really is when you can Twitter with Barbie® and stalk her on her blog.
