There is little doubt that the marketing director for the movie Barbie is going to receive a really nice bonus this Christmas. Putting a life size Barbie doll box at the movie theater so people could have their photos taken was pure genius.
Now I know what you are thinking and no, I did not have my photo taken inside the box. Hot Wheels were my toy of choice growing up and anyway, no one puts Mimi in a corner or in a box. I digress.
The marketing campaign for the movie was so successful because every little girl or woman could see themselves as Barbie. The only form of Barbie I did not see in the movie or in any of the hundreds of photos of people in a Barbie box is of Goth Barbie. I know, it is hard to picture because the two seem antithetical to each other.
Well, do I have something to show you. Yeah baby! Goth Barbie Dreamhouse. It rules while all the other dream houses drool.
This testament to Pepto pink has seven bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. It is located at 1031 2nd Street, Hudson, Wisconsin. Goth Barbie has more than 5,600 square feet of dreamhouse in which to roam around. The sellers are asking $1.1 million.
You walk through the door and you know something is slightly off. Homes decorated with a Goth motif all have tall candlesticks that sit on the floor along with framed photos. These whimsical colored candlesticks lure you in.
The contrast is hysterical. You have the Playboy bunny picture, a carousel horse, and pastel-colored logs along with some of the most dramatic, jet-black furniture underneath a chandelier you would find in a den of vampires.
Now that I know flamingos are acceptable table decor, I will get some for my table. Life is good. What is also good is that the horn on the unicorn is as pointy as those chairs.
Now, probably the second-best picture of this entire listing is of the powder room.
Everyone read the neon sign. I am getting one for my bathroom.
Now if that is the second-best picture of this listing, what is the first?
Make your own sugar, baby! Whether Goth or Barbie, it does not matter. Smash the patriarchy!!! I digress yet again.
Okay back to Goth Barbie dreamhouse.
Turns out ‘ol Barbie does not have a thing for Ken because she is busy with Batman and apparently Batman likes himself some stripper action. I will say the other bedrooms are not as mellow as this one.
The furniture in these three bedrooms is like the knock-off Barbie furniture you would buy because you could not afford the name-brand Barbie furniture. Retinas are overrated.
So there you go folks, the official Goth Barbie dreamhouse. I would love to see the marketing director promote this house the way they did the movie. No doubt it would be a hit.
