I maintain that Ken still had the best accessories...

One of the highest-prized items in certain Gay circles is a "Magic Earring Ken".







And now tell me that Ken is straight!

Ken may not be "straight," but he's definitely "str8." (wink, wink)

When did Ken bleach his hair and whiten his teeth? OMG, he's wearing a mesh shirt to! Did they ever make him anatomically correct? The Ken doll I had was a eunuch *bg*

I swear all the Ken dolls I owned just had really....interesting clothes. I had some "Beach Fun" Ken that was released in the late 80's/early 90's that came with tight, cat-shit green colored shorts and a gold mesh crop top. I also owned that Totally Hair Ken doll from the early 90's,, and his outfit was like a 70's throwback Greg Brady style, if Greg Brady ate a rainbow cake and then vomited everywhere. Current Ken fares no better, tbh.

ken's had a thing for GI Joe, for a long long time.

it's that kung-fu-grip on the GI Joe, i tell ya... (that dates ME, doesn't it? *snerk*)

[franklanguage.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I remember the kung-fu grip.

You remember Ken's friend Brad?



This was from 1968; I forgot they went back that far.

there was a brad and midge who were doing the wedding thing in the begining. (my cousin had barbie, midge, and brad? may have been another name) so that they could double date and all that nonsense. :)

I remember the hoopla this caused, even garnering an blip in "People" Magazine:

Adriana Kanter, owner of a toy shop in La Grange Park, Ill., won't even carry it. "I feel that earrings on men and boys are on the wrong side of the road." she says. And accountant Gale Vaupell of Westchester, Ill., a mother of three, says, "There's no way you would sell me a Ken with an earring—it wrecks the whole all-American image."

Oy vey.

"Left is right, and right is wrong." So the earring in the left ear means Ken is straight!

Which is totally believable, right? LOL
