THE GOODS

• 🏡 Welcome to my famous cribs, MTV: We recently mentioned that fans of Barbie will have the opportunity to win a one-night stay in her pink-themed Malibu mansion. But only two fan-groups can win. For those of us that do not win, or nix this opportunity altogether, we still have many options to live like a celebrity, even it is brief, thanks to these active listings on AirBnb. The original inspiration for this feature was sourced from The Hollywood Reporter’s Alesandra Dubin
