Utah neighborhood transforms into a real-life BARBIELAND for Halloween – with nods to Ken’s infamous Mojo Dojo Casa House and Weird Barbie
A Utah neighborhood turned into Barbieland just in time for Halloween.
Neighbors in the South Jordan suburb of Salt Lake City took it upon themselves to each create a different Barbie-themed home — inspired by this summer’s hit movie and the Mattel brand.
Themes included Weird Barbie, Barbie Graveyard, Disco Barbie, Barbie Barn and even Ken’s infamous Mojo Dojo Casa House.

Kenzie posted a TikTok video documenting the festive homes as ‘the whole street decided to go all out’, captioning her clip: ‘When all the neighbors decide to turn their neighborhood into Barbieland.
‘I loved helping with some of these projects.’

Each property was decorated with their own white sign with pink lettering and borders, attached to the white picket fence, spelling out the corresponding theme.
Included on the signs were the surnames of the families who owned the houses such as Owen, Shafer and Tucker in the style of the Mattel logo.
The fuchsia decor of the Barbie Dream House featured a vanity, sequined plinths that served as bag and eyeglass displays, and a closet of pink outfits and heels surrounded by a clear door.

Kenzie isn’t the only one drawn to creating her own version of Barbieland.

Another Barbie enthusiast has transformed her six-bedroom, seven-bathroom late-Victorian farmhouse in East Sussex into a pink dreamland the iconic doll would surely approve of.
