The Huffington Post reports that ‘Barbie Cafe’ which is licenced by Mattel (the manufacturer of Barbie) have given the project their blessing. The restaurant features hot pink sofas, tables shaped like shoes and staff who wear tutus, glitter and tiaras. Apparently Mattel is hoping that the cafe will help further establish Barbie as a fashion brand.

“We picked Taiwan because theme restaurants are very popular and successful here. We are very confident that the Barbie Cafe can promote our brand image,” said Iggy Yip, a senior manager in Mattel’s consumer products division.
