Emily's Escapades

Life in Shanghai, China

Barbie Store, Shanghai

by emily on September 10, 2009

After the mediocre lunch at the Barbie Cafe, we explored the rest of the store.

There’s a runway for fashion shows.IMG_9917_barbie_sm

A changing room complete with many dizzying mirrors and benches shaped like poodles.

A huge circular staircase with hundreds of Barbies in pink dresses.

Mannequins near the Barbie clothing line (all sizes, not just little girls.  Anna and Bonnie fit right in!)

Ethnic Barbies from all over the world.  (Does Bonnie look like French Barbie?  French Barbie kinda looks like a Las Vegas showgirl to me.)

A history of different Barbies thorough the years.  (Bonnie was a flight attendant and her husband is a pilot so Pilot Barbie is appropriate for her.  Also, it may have been the only Barbie with short hair that we saw.)
