A realization
Mar. 16th, 2005 10:38 amYesterday at Toys R Us, I saw the Barbie and Ken Lord of the Rings set. (The Ken as Legolas doll isn't that bad.) And it suddenly dawned on me.
So far we've seen the Star Trek Barbie and Ken sets. And the King Arthur sets as well. And a few others with a fantasy theme to them, as well as some Ren Faire-type outfits. Plus I've seen Barbie dressed as Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Supergirl. Which leads to an unescapable conclusion.
Barbie and Ken are fen. They *have* to be. I mean, it's the only answer that makes sense to me.
How long before we "Barbie and Ken go to the Con" sets, complete with little membership badges?

Barbie and Ken as Dominatrix and Sub. Gives a whole new meaning to "Barbie's Fun House" doesn't it?

HMM Barbie and Ken as Cosplayers I have dealt with enough of them at AX over the years to be very very afeared. I still want hooker Barbie(first edition French Barbie. She came with Fishnets and Merry widow(sp?) she was quickly dubbed hooker barbie and was recalled within 2 months.)
Till Anon,
