Ken is Trying to Win Back Barbie
October 30th, 2005 at 3:32 pm (Thoughts)
Remember a year and a half ago or so when Barbie and Ken split up? It was big news. Well, Barbie’s new crush (I think his name was Blaine or something) is apparently not working out that well. At least, that’s my assumption, since Ken has decided to win back Barbie. He’s consulting with the hottest style gurus in Hollywood, according to his personal manager and publicist. He’s considering a style make-over so that his style will be more variable and exciting. He’s even considering eyelid surgery to try and remedy his lack of blinking (he hasn’t blinked in like fourty years). I guess he thinks that a new look will make him appealing to Barbie again. I hope it works out for him! I never liked Blaine (what kind of a name is Blaine anyway? and can’t she find a boyfriend with a better ambition that being a surfer dude?).

Wasn’t Blaine the name of the rich jerk in Pretty in PInk? I never liked him. Blaine= name for rich jerks.
And for the record whoever wrote that press release didn’t do him homework, because Malibu Ken *definitely* had enough of a tan to go around.

Yeah, Blaine totally looked like a rich jerk too. He looked like a southern California kid who has a trust fund and nothing more important to be doing than making sure the blond streaks in his hair are perfect and that his abs look good. I was rather disappointed in that choice by Barbie/Mattel.
And yeah, Ken has totally had a tan and stuff before. They are just trying to make a big deal about it. They did the same thing in the sixties or seventies when he disappeared for a year or two and came back with muscles - they said he had spent a year working out to get in good shape (he also found someone to give him less stupid hair in that year).
