For two days only, a giant seven-room "dollhouse" is open to the public in Grand Central Terminal. It's a publicity stunt by Target to promote their "Threshold" collection, and the interior of the house is decorated with furnishings, décor and housewares from the new home line. Photographer Katie Sokoler explored the house this morning; click through for her deluxe photo tour.
The dollhouse is open to the public from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m today and tomorrow. In addition to fulfilling all your creepiest Toy Story fantasies, they've also got "beauty experts" doing free five-minute hair and make-up touch ups. And if you hide under a bed when nobody's looking, you and Ken can spend the whole night there trying on different ensembles and rubbing your bodies awkwardly together!
