Barbie Dreamhouse

A giant pink Barbie Dreamhouse is under construction near Berlin's Alexanderplatz, where you'll be able to cook cupcakes in the kitchen and explore the endless Barbie dream closet .

Christopher Rahofer, the man behind the enterprise, says the tourist attraction is just about having fun.

But Franziska Sedlak, a member of the youth wing of the German Left Party thinks otherwise and claims: The Barbie Dreamhouse is a symptom of women's oppression .

The Campaign against the Dreamhouse particularly whinges about the problems with Barbie as an impossible physical ideal for young girls. Sedlak spouts:

Barbie produces a completely unnatural beauty image. The figure would break in the middle if she were a real woman... Why do women learn that they have to be pretty all the time?

A FEMEN sekstremist has burned a Barbie-idol at the opening of Barbie Dream House in Berlin. Femen explain in somewhat clumsy English:

Ritual Barbiecue with fried meat of the plastic idol was made to demonstrate the true meaning of the history of commercial monster Mattel. They have turned a piece of plastic into a god for millions of girls from all over the world who now seek only to imitate plastic shapes and stupidity and absurdity of conduct.

The nazi ideology of Mattel purposefully creates the image of a female doll, dictating not only the appearance of new generations, and that the worst social role of reckless beauty finding a reason to exist in the continuous care of their appearance and the house.

FEMEN urges mercilessly burning of idols! A woman is not a Barbie! A woman is a revolution!

The Barbie Dreamhouse Experience allows paying visitors to try on Barbie's clothes, play in her kitchen and have a go on her pink piano. The exhibition will be open until August 25. (Voltairestraße 2a / Dircksenstraße, train and underground stations Alexanderplatz and Jannowitzbrücke)
