The person who made the Barbie hair chandeliers, Chris March, had made an entire collection that used human hair as a trim, like fur or feathers. After seeing him combing a skirt (which definitely made me gag), the chandeliers don't bother me at all. They're even really cute, IMO. :) Ian70: You must have missed Project Runway.

And I agree, LB, that there isn’t nearly enough pink… the red is just not Barbie at all!

The Barbie printed fabric is just not well done and looks like a dumpy Lisa Frank fabric. it could be more fabulous. the rest of the space is cute, despite half of it being from Jonathan Adler's store. I guess he thinks of himself as the ideal Barbie girl. The Chris March hair-chandeliers are kooky and fun.

Everything in a Barbie world is pink, but different shades of it; and you rarely ever ever see red. Also, why doesn't the new swimsuit Barbie come in brunette? The original Barbie did!
