Can Ken's Makeover Win Back Barbie?

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(CBS) Barbie's old flame, Ken is back, sporting a more sophisticated look.

The question is whether the new appearance will be enough to send Barbie's heart aflutter all over again, after she dumped Ken two years ago in favor of a surfer dude named Blaine.

But, Hickey asserts, Ken's had a lot of loser looks over the years, which may be the reason Barbie got rid of him to begin with.

Now, Ken is back, after a makeover from a stylist to the stars, Phillip Bloch.

"It's really about getting in touch with the new him," Bloch explains, "little pieces of jewelry, great necklaces, jeans worn-in, because he's been traveling so much. He just doesn't look like a doll now, he looks like a real person. … Sort of."

So, who can say if Barbie and Ken will live happily ever after?

That, says Hickey, may be too much to ask, but they're officially expected get back together in time Valentine's Day.

And next year, Mattel plans a makeover of Barbie herself, Hickey says.

Ha, this is awesome!

I wonder how many kids in the Bible Belt had to stop playing with Barbies when they found out she got a (gasp) "divorce" from Ken.
 
I never thought about that! I know I was ex-communicated from my church, when I was divorced.
