Chances are, if you were born before the dawning of Bratz, your first BFF was a blonde-haired, busty chick with pin legs and a (quite literally) killer waist. And she probably went by Barbie. Now she's back with a little more height on her side in Little Black Dress Creatives' latest production, Doll by Babushka.
The Babushka girls are reinventing your childhood bestie in a musical dream house for a very grown-up play date. Forget the old Barbie and her childish catchphrases; these dolls have an endless drawstring and will be belting out tunes all night long. It'll be a little creepy, occasionally cute and darkly comedic as they tackle opera, '80s pop, nursery rhymes and rock 'n' roll. Expect some Guns 'n' Roses and Offenbach in the mix.
Whether you grew up with an Action Man, Cabbage Patch Doll or a bald Barbie because you were sure her hair would grow back, Babushka dolls will have you seduced, comforted and in touch with the sinister side of memory lane.
