Where is the doughboy?

Well if you haven't heard already, Barbie's Malibu Dream house has been brought to life. Designed by Jonathan Adler, it is truly Dreamy. Read more about it here.

I was heart broken to hear the above ground pool did not make the cut but it was all soon forgotten once I feasted my eyes on this;

More than I could dream of. A shoe closet filled with 50 pairs of Pink Christian Louboutin 's!

It is said that the party included custom floral centerpieces shaped as stilettos heels and a "plastic fantastic" theme infused throughout the night. Get a load of these numbers; 146 pounds of pink candy for the dessert table and 1,030 pounds of ice were used to create an ice sculpture of a birthday cake. Colin Cowie happens to be Barbies party planner , no surprise there.

Also another fun note, I read somewhere that her kitchen was stocked with cupcake-making ingredients. I KNEW IT! She really CAN do it all!

...I don't think I have ever mentioned it but I am a big fan of Barbie. I love, LOVE all the vintage stuff and have a great affinity for the 70's play sets; pool party, patio, BBQ etc. I am also a sucker for all the little accessories. My parents gave me my first Barbie Dream House when I was 5 and well, need I say more? Okay back to the party idea. So how about Barbie Pool Party?

Talk about a Little Shindig!I want the lawn chairs, the patio umbrellas, everything in those fabulous 70's colors, the Pink BBQ and of course the doughboy pool ,with the slide.Okay so the pool might blow the budget but we can certainly take some inspiration right? Right! Let's do beach balls as invitations. You can get all the party details printed on them ( see printing company's who offer promotional items). Quick note: send the invitations deflated and let your guest blow up the beach ball to get all the party details. Maybe that way they might be a little light headed and will be more inclined to the idea of ..wait for it: coming to the party as there favorite Barbie or Ken! Now I know that is probably a lot of Ken's but the gals have tons of choices..Malibu Barbie, Holiday Barbie, Badgley Mischka Barbie you get the hint. Now the day of the party I would of course park my Pink Corvette right in front of the house, so everyone knows where the party is. (and no, I do not own a Pink Corvette but maybe I can rent one?) On the menu Hot dogs and hamburgers of course, Pink lemonade, a must. I would also set up dressing rooms labeled "Barbies" & "Kens" for the guests to slip into there swim suits. The rooms will be stocked with extra beach towels, flip flops and big 70's sun glasses( just in case ) and everything will smell like coconut sun tan lotion. I haven't figured out the party favors yet...all I can think about is maybe some Pink Frisbees. Maybe have something clever printed on them too.I suppose that's about all I have for now. So if you have Friends with a good sense of humor this party would be great for a birthday, BBQ or just for fun. This party can also be toned down for a young girls b-day party. I found this at the Loot Lady.com.

My daughter turns 5 this summer and she already loves Barbie. This theme is in the running but she changes her mind every day. One thing is for sure, we are getting her her own Barbie Dream House this year. Vintage, of course
