Fun fact: Wisteria is a legume! 🫛 (And also a gnome wizard with a catastrophically poor command of magic 🫣)
Ginny is dressed as Wisteria the gnome wizard, in a blue and white outfit with an oversized dark blue witch hat. She holds a staff topped with a blue crystal shape. She is standing on a path overhung with purple Wisteria flowers.

Welcome to Barbie's Dream Tavern, where dreams come true (as long as those dreams are forming an adventuring party, picking up side quests, and brawling with a belligerent stranger.)
A 1995 Barbie Dreamhouse, repainted and styled as a tudor-style tavern covered in creeping moss and with a warm light glowing from within. The hanging sign reads "Dream & Draught" The interior of a 1995 Barbie Dreamhouse, repainted and styled as a fantasy tavern. Two dolls are placed inside: A Ken centaur behind the bar, and a tiefling Barbie bard seated in front of the bay window with her guitar. A Barbie-sized corkboard with parchment pinned to it. The posters are for "help wanted," "wanted for smuggling," "missing," and "royal decree." The upstairs of a 1995 Barbie Dreamhouse, repainted and styled as a medieval bedroom. Two Barbies are posed inside: A redheaded Paladin sitting on the bed, and a brunette Barbarian standing beside it.

Taking off the wig changes the vibe of this costume so fast. From "orc warrior" to "hitting randomize on the character customizer" in 3 seconds flat 😂

15 years ago today, my dad and I crafted my best Zombie Crawl costume of all time
Ginny dressed as a zombie, with blood on her face and chest and a wooden stake appearing to be stabbed through her stomach. She has dark brown hair and black-framed glasses askew on her face. Ginny dressed as a zombie and viewed from the back, where you can see both ends of the wooden stake that appears stuck through her stomach. She is standing on the streets of Denver.

Location photoshoots are great, but in a pinch... you can shoot anywhere with Photoshop 😌
A turquoise-haired mermaid floats underwater near a shipwreck, bubbles rising as she lifts one arm gracefully. A green-skinned orc woman stands on red desert rocks holding a greataxe over her shoulder, wearing leather armor under a blue sky. A pale-skinned elf woman in a dark gray dress and gloves stands with arms crossed among old gravestones in a grassy cemetery. A red-haired woman in plate armor and a green cloak sits on a mossy tree stump holding a sword across her knees in a misty field.

Answering emails sucks, but I make it suck a little less by putting on ambient music and soundscapes and saying "today I'm answering emails from a Victorian greenhouse in a rainstorm" or "today I'm answering emails from a space station"

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut.

No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

Na’Krasha said these greataxe earrings are “absolutely harmless” and then winked at me like… five times.

Do you ever think "I should do a craft with Barbies!" and then next thing you know you're using pi to calculate something called an "inner stringer"? 🥲 Yeah, me neither.

Clio out here proving all the bard allegations true 😈

Some of you spotted that my Bard Barbie looked a little familiar! She's based on my character Clio, originally created for a guest appearance on Cast Party and now the character I use for bard-themed music videos on my channel.
Close-up selfie of Clio, a pink tiefling with short white hair and coral horns, smiling widely to show small fangs, wearing all-over pink bodypaint makeup, a black choker, and a green blouse. Mirror selfie of Clio, a pink tiefling wearing a green blouse with puffed sleeves, a patterned cincher, a black skirt, and a black choker, posing sideways while holding a phone in a room lined with bookshelves. Close-up selfie of Clio, a pink tiefling with short white hair and curved coral horns, wearing all-over pink bodypaint makeup, a black choker, and a deep green blouse, looking slightly downward with a neutral expression. Full-body mirror selfie of Clio, a pink tiefling wearing a green blouse, a patterned cincher, a black skirt with a high slit, and tall boots, posing with one hand on her hip in a room with bookshelves and plants behind her.

Calendar buyers! 📣 It's come to our attention that some dice sets contain cursed d4s.

We believe it's just a small batch, so most sets should be fine, but please check on your d4 and if cursed, email customerservice@CRWNstudios.com with your order number so we can replace it!

Since posting the full-length video of this build, I have gotten dozens more suggestions for names. Next time you need an icebreaker question, ask what people would name a Barbie-themed medieval tavern, apparently everyone has THOUGHTS 😌

75+ hours of crafting and at least two mental breakdowns later... the Barbie Dream Tavern is done!

This was meant to be my last video of 2025 and instead ended up my first video of 2026. 🥲 But I'm still taking January off of YouTube to plan for the year (and recharge!)
Ginny Di smiles behind a detailed medieval-style dollhouse tavern built from a Barbie Dream House, with stone walls, moss, stained-glass windows, and a tower. Text reads “Barbie Dream Tavern,” with an arrow pointing to the transformed structure. Side-by-side comparison of a pink Barbie Dream House labeled “Before” and the same structure transformed into a medieval fantasy tavern labeled “After,” featuring stone textures, moss, and stained-glass details. Screenshot from a video showing Ginny Di speaking in front of the finished Barbie Dream Tavern. On-screen captions read, “Why is there still so much video left?” A collection of viewer comments displayed on a pink patterned background. The comments praise the Barbie Dream Tavern video, joking about LEDs feeling like magic, emotional investment in finishing the tavern build, and the project being chaotic but creatively inspiring.

Good day to watch @ginnydi.com build a medieval tavern out of nostalgia and stress.

Take a break from the wailing and gnashing of teeth. It's fun!
