This Airbnb Was Inspired By None Other Than The World’s Favorite Doll, Barbie

The most famous doll in the world has inspired just about everything.  There are jewelry, fragrance, gift wrappers and even art work by Andy Warhol and Peter Max.  Over the years since her official birthdate, March 9, 1959, the 63-year old fashion favorite has been a muse for many including Oscar de la Renta and the band, Aqua.

It comes as no surprise that an Airbnb would be decorated in complete Barbie style.  Located in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona, the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Barbie house is outfitted with its own movie theater, a pool, a gaming arcade and a makeup room.  

A barbecue grill, aqua green patio lounge chairs, a fully-stocked kitchen, Netflix and Roku complete the experience, making it ideal for family vacations and business meetings.

In its sixty years, the Barbie Dream House has experienced many style evolutions, from modern flat to mansion:
