If only we can turn back time to when we were little girls, then we probably would do so in an instant. It was a magical time filled with Barbie dolls and dollhouses, butterflies and rainbows and everything sweet, spicy and nice. Plus, it would give us a chance to experience the joys of the Barbie pink story townhouse as seen through the eyes of a little girl.
As adults, most probably as the parents of a little girl, you will want to give your daughter and her friends a similar happy childhood as you have in your own time. Part of such a memorable childhood was playing with the Barbie dollhouses complete with the pink-and-violet fixtures and furnishings. After all, what is a Barbie dollhouse in any other color but, well, an aberration in the harmonious order of the universe?
The beauty of Barbie dollhouses today is that modern technology is applied to make these toys come alive, so to speak. This particular Barbie pink story townhouse has working lights and sounds that mimic what a house with a modern woman in it should look and sound like.
You can actually hear Barbie humming inside the shower – because that’s what your little girl also does in the tub although it is singing at the top of her voice is more like it. You can also turn on switches to hear the sound of a toilet flushing, a fireplace merrily crackling away on a cold night, and a chiming doorbell that a little girl will envision Barbie running to answer because it might be Ken at the door.
And then there are the glorious lights. When you open the oink refrigerator, a light also comes on because that’s what a refrigerator does in real life. Inside the fridge, you can find various foods that lend an authentic feel to the dollhouse furniture. The kitchen also features a red chandelier hanging over the pick-and-violet Queen Anne-style table and chairs.
You also have charming tiki lights that complement the outdoor whirlpool spa of this pretty-in-pink story townhouse. Your own spa would pale in comparison with such a luxurious tub that can also be filled with water to partially complete the illusion. It would have been better if the spa actually has a mechanism to make it whirl and gurgle like a true whirlpool tub.
Your little girl will find virtually all of accessories, furniture and fixtures necessary to transform a house into a home for her Barbie dolls. There are dishes and silverware for the kitchen; hairbrush, toothbrush and soap for the bathroom; television with remote, sofa and coffee table in the living room; and canopy bed, closet wit hangers and clock for the bedroom. And with everything done in various shades of pink and violet, what little girl can ask for more?
On the side of parents, you probably can ask for more in terms of an easier assembly with the elevator, the lights and the other parts that require fitting in with the other parts. You may also question the durability of a few of the pieces and even of the whole structure itself. But unless your little girl plans to sit on the dollhouse or deliberately break the pieces, then the $145 you paid for the pink story townhouse should be worth every single cent.
