A Life-Sized Version of Polly Pocket Hits Airbnb This Month

I think my cousin had a fever dream about this when she had the flu in ‘95 . . .

Airbnb’s latest odd offering is a supersized version of Polly Pocket that’s big enough to walk around in.

If you’re not familiar, Polly Pocket debuted in 1989.  Each one was like a mini doll house shaped like a compact for make-up powder.  Mattel still sells them.

For Polly’s 35th birthday, they built a version of her “Slumber Party Fun” compact from 1994 that’s the size of a house.  It’s got multiple levels, including a living room at the bottom, and a kitchen on the top floor.  And it all looks exactly like the pocket version.  (Here are the photos.)

Starting August 21st, you’ll be able to book a one-night stay for you and four friends.  But only one of you gets to sleep in the actual compact on a pull-out couch.  The other four will be in a Polly Pocket-style tent.  So . . . you’re camping.

They built it in the middle of the woods near the town of Littleton, Massachusetts.  It costs $89 per person as a nod to the year Polly debuted.

It comes with a fridge and pantry stocked with ‘90s snacks . . . a selection of ‘90s movies on VHS . . . and a bunch of life-sized Polly Pocket clothes to try on.

They’re also doing day trips for fans who don’t score an overnight stay.  You can snag a spot later this month by searching Airbnb for “Sleepover at Polly Pocket’s Compact”.  (Airbnb)  (Here’s a video.)
