Life in Pink

Azusa Sakamoto works as a manicurist and loves Barbie. Very. Do you understand? When she turned 36, she finally realized her dream and turned her house into a real pink altar. The colors and logos of the Barbie dolls are dazzling, but Azusa is happy. She spent about $80, 000 (just under 6 million rubles) on decorating the house, and in addition to money, she put her whole soul and heart into it. Every detail of the house is an ode to Barbie dolls. The kitchen has a refrigerator, toilet and even a kettle. On a scale of one to ten, I give Barbie a 100 for love. Honestly, I haven”t counted how much I spent on all of them, but I think it”s over $80, 000. I also have 222 Barbie dolls in my collection. I’m not a fan of vintage, but I have several dolls worth about $1, 800 (more than 130, 000 rubles),” says Azusa.

Compared to other avid collectors with a treasure trove of thousands of dolls, Sakamoto”s collection looks very modest. However, Azusa still stands out among other Barbie-obsessed people — she buys not only dolls, but generally everything related to Barbie. Azusa has literally everything for Barbie — a refrigerator, a table, a closet, shelves, bags, shoes, cups, plates, watches. The list can be endless.

It is worth noting that Azusa did not have anything related to Barbie as a child. I was 15 years old, I looked pretty and very American. This was the beginning of my love for pink Barbie dolls. Two years later I got my first doll. I bought it when I went to the US for a trading post and stopped in Indiana.” Now I wake up in my pink bed with a Barbie pillow and a Barbie blanket next to me, and a Barbie kettle boiling water for my morning tea. I also cook pink food on pink plates,” Takamoto recalls of his daily routine, dyeing his hair pink and wearing pink clothes. Azusa has about 100 T-shirts with just the Barbie logo. Luckily, she doesn”t intend to overuse plastic. I love Barbie, but I don”t want to be like her. I know she”s a doll — I have no problem with that. I believe that life is too short to wear boring clothes. I don”t care what other people think about me. I love what I do.”
