The birthday party Monday will be at Barbie's Malibu Dream House, a 3,500-square-foot house decorated by Jonathan Adler. The house features a sunburst mirror incorporating 65 Barbie dolls, a chandelier made of Barbie hair and such Barbie touches as skirted chairs.
The garage, of course, holds a life-size Barbie Volkswagen Beetle with a pop-up vanity in the trunk.
Barbie made her public debut March 9, 1959, at the New York Toy Fair and was among the first class of inductees in the National Toy Hall of Fame in 1999.
