My daughter has 21 Barbies and ONE Ken.
Some might say Ken is a lucky man.


(Ken as a low-budget Hugh Hefner.)

10. Well to be fair
each Barbie looks slightly different. Some have higher cheekbones than others, some have blue eyes, some have green eyes, but the biggest difference is in their hair: while they are all blonde, some have longer hair, some shorter, some have frizzy hair, some have crimped hair, some curly, some straight.

Ken, he likes some variety in his life.

Oh and Gymnast Barbie is the only one with low-rider pants and hip joints that can rotate 360 degrees.

:shrug: Also her hair is more of a dirty blonde.

33. Especially considering that their cycles would all synchronise...
now THERE'S a scary thought. 21 pre-menstrual women under the same roof. <shudder>

5. They broke up!!
Didn't you hear? Barbie is having a fling with some surfer-dude.
You really should get the surfer-dude. It'll be someone for Ken to hang out with and do guy things with. (I'm sure Ken does guy things, though.)

Just have all the same name. But they love each other, believe me, they exchanged vows.

24. Ken did.
We've done the same thing with her Bratz dolls. My daughter is very progressive, believes in GLBT rights.

28. Your daughter is a good person
I wasnt thinking about GLBT rights at that age, I was only thinking about baseball and how much it sucked that my team didnt make the series.

48. I was a freshman in college
and a (at the time) brand-new friend of mine was introducing me to her girlfriend. I made a comment about if they preferred the term thespians. At first they didn't get it, then they started cracking up and excused me for living in a small town.
Now, it's our big joke.

Especially your daughter's Ken.

16. Yup, Barbie has gotten herself a surfer boy toy...
but can you blame her? Ken looks to me like a southern preacher with that big toothy smile. Probably voted for Chimp.

19. My Donny Osmond doll in the 70s
was in the same lucky position.

I not only had lotsa Barbies, but I also had Wonder Woman & the Bionic Woman. . .

He always got to ride in the Barbie car.

23. I used to play Barbies w/ my sister when I was younger...
The Zack Morris doll got all the chicks while poor "Figure Skating Ken" lost a forearm and jumped off rooftops in his pink and orange tights half the time.

31. They're always having pillow fights and squealing
and eating whole tubes of cookie dough and painting each other's toenails and telling ghost stories and prank calling people until 4 am. He's sick of this shit. NO ONE told him it would be like this.

42. Why is Ken such a tool?
I mean really, the dollmakers make such an effort to make Barbie doll pretty in so many ways and then just throw together a Ken that doesn't even have REAL HAIR!!!

Why must Barbie be stuck with such a loser!

:)
