in Manhattan, and someone is working late. They’re about five feet tall and perched over a heart-shaped toilet, inside the most sensual Barbie Dreamhouse you’ve ever seen.

This night was about celebrating Carpenter’s rise, from her role as the female Shawn Hunter in the Disney spinoff. Selena Gomez was there, as were hundreds of teenage Sabrina lookalikes in miniskirts, platform boots, and bows in their hair.
