Barbie Fan Spends £55,000 Turning Home Into Shrine To Her Favourite Doll

She’s a Barbie girl, in her Barbie world.

Azusa Sakamoto is Barbie’s biggest fan.

The 34-year-old, originally from Japan, has transformed her home in Los Angeles into a Barbie princess palace, spending £55,000 recreating a doll’s house.

She first got into the brand when she was 15 after buying herself a Barbie lunchbox.

Miss Sakamoto has spent thousands amassing her collection of 145 Barbie dolls, 40 pairs of shoes and 60 bags.

As well as decorating her home with all things Barbie, she has Barbie-themed nails and Barbie-pink hair.

“I’m Barbie’s biggest fan - everyone thinks I’m crazy but I don’t care,” she said.

“Everything I own has to be Barbie, I absolutely love it.

“I’ve spent at least £55,000 on my collection of dolls, furniture, furnishings, clothes and trips.

“As soon as I get my next pay cheque I go online and buy even more.

“My whole house is covered in Barbie including my bedding, rugs, wall art, and if something isn’t Barbie then I’ll brand it myself with stickers and accessories.

“I even have my Barbie doll collection in glass cases in the living room as a main focal point and to keep them in a good condition.

“Every day I dress myself in Barbie clothes, my whole wardrobe and shelves are full with all the matching shoes, bags and nails.”

Miss Sakamoto even has her own ‘Ken’ - her boyfriend is a 31-year-old doctor in Los Angeles, who supports her Barbie habit.
