Barbie house

The oldest house was built in 10,000 B.C. only to be unearthed by a modest farmer in 1965 while digging for a new basement. The architect of that first mammoth bone built house would have never thought that one day his idea of a shelter for necessity will be emoted to the extent of becoming a pleasure item for girls of all ages across all boundaries, that it will become a Barbie house of perhaps the most successful and iconic doll of all times, Barbie.

Barbie is a superstar, a Women’s World Cup soccer player, a successful businesswoman, a member of a rock band, a doctor, a nurse, an astronaut and many more. This larger than life image of the Barbie dolls reflecting every aspect and essence of a woman has made it the most triumphant selling doll in the history of toys. Starting its journey in 1959, Barbie was a teenage fashion model but as time went by she has donned every conceivable profession. It’s almost a parallel society she is running with friends and family members, the famous Barbie horse Tawny and even Barbie cars and of course, a dream house to live in, the Barbie house.

Just like the houses of real men have evolved over the years in terms of designs, shapes, sizes and utilities so has the Barbie house. Innumerable, unique variations of the Barbie house can be found in the toy market. Whether it’s the Barbie castles like the Barbie sleeping beauty castle with royal rooms or the Barbie palace based on the movie the "Barbie diamond castle palace" or the three-storied Barbie dream house with a living room, state-of-the art kitchen and luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms, Barbie doll house with its full range of Barbie furniture, accessories, supplies and miniatures has always been a favourite with girls.

The Barbie house enhances the value of enjoyment by displaying the Barbie dolls and Barbie collectibles to others. The Barbie house often becomes a reflection of girl’s own self image, a reflection of taste and choice, especially, when it comes to decoration and layout of the rooms and its contents. A substantial number of accessories are available for the Barbie house be it a furniture or some pictures or some family members of Barbie.

The Barbie house comes in different sizes, some of up to 6 ft tall. If Barbie stays in a Barbie house, she has reason to move out of her house too. She has to commute in order to make her profession look more realistic. She can drive a beautiful battery operated pink Barbie car or a vintage Barbie caravan or she can even pose as a cowgirl riding her favourite Barbie horse Tawny.

The Barbie toys has fascinated millions of people especially girls of all ages with its range and thoughtfulness and it has seen Barbie evolve from a fashion girl to a person having a family and friends living in a Barbie house, displaying her multiple identities and personalities, her multiple social status and her constant camaraderie with her most trusted friend, women.
