Berlin's girliest new tourist attraction is a life-sized Barbie Dream House that lets you be live like Barbie for the day. With an entrance fee of 12 euros, you can bake cupcakes and beautify yourself Barbie-style; with an extra 10 to 15 euros, you can even become a Barbie house pop star or supermodel.
The house is decorated in every shade of pink and stretches over 1,400 square meters of land. The house showcases Barbie-esque furniture, a huge collection of Barbies, as well as interactive digital components that virtually dress you in Barbie's clothes.
Mattel Inc. has seen a lot of protesting regarding the house; it has been accused of wrongly representing beauty and feminism. Regardless, the Barbie dream house will be touring around other European countries at the end of summer.
