Barbie Shanghai

Barbie Shanghai

The first Barbie Worldwide Flagship Store. Taken in Summer, 2009.
Yes, I went in with my students. It was so…pink. They even had a Vera Wang bride and groom Barbies and Juicy Couture Barbies. I think they even had a Barbie restaurant on the top floor.

Barbie® Shanghai is an exclusive shopping destination with six floors of Barbie® products and activities designed just for girls. Along with a real fashion runway, full-service day spa, doll design center, and more, there are over 1,600 Barbie® products available, including apparel, jewelry, skin-care products, toys, electronic products, cosmetics, games, and other exciting goodies girls of all ages will love. Spend an unforgettable day at Barbie® Shanghai – there’s nothing else like it anywhere. 

Oh my goodness, did I just write a post on Barbie?

Fabric

For anyone who knows me, shopping at fabric stores is NOT my thing. But I’m pretty easy-going so my crafty friend dragged me along to buy stuff for her latest project. First stop, Discount Fabrics on Irving. Surprising, but I actually found some black cloth from that leftover scrap bin (I think there’s a fancy word for it). I’m going to try to use it as a background or something.

Then we stopped off at Fabrix, where the prices were actually cheaper. The lady working at the time wasn’t actually the owner, but she said I could take pictures in the store so long as I didn’t photograph her. I had written her name on the store’s business card but then I lost it. I really should write this stuff down in my notebook instead. Here are two shots from inside the store.

Then we headed downtown to Britex Fabrics near Union Square. I didn’t know there was a fabric store there and boy is it fancy–at least the first floor is. I thoroughly enjoyed the wooden ladders and rolls of fabric along the wall organized by color, so I couldn’t help but ask if I can take a picture of it.
