Manny, I don't think they were married...just living together. So I guess it would be a Palimony Settlement, not a divorce.

Since Mattel is in California, and the state recognizes such "services" the same as being married, Ken will be lucky to escape with his balls. [Frown]

(Assuming he has any... I never looked...) [Big Grin]

About the Ken cheating idea. I bought a Ken doll at a Parisian store (can't remember the name of it, but it said that he had a crush on one of the girls you could buy with that doll -- and it wasn't Barbie.) It was a different type of Ken that looks a bit different than the other Kens, but it was a Ken from Mattel -- a special line.

So, it's Modern Circle Ken that seems to be the cause of the breakup. Here's the description from the back of the "Modern Circle" Ken that I got at Parisian. He fancies a girl named Melody and sees Barbie as "shy and distant"!

quote:

Modern Circle? KenŽ doll is a art director whose style reflects his line of work. Featuring a vintage face sculpt, his hair has been updated to a more modern style with highlights framing his freckled face. He wears dark denim jeans and a leather-like jacket over a green turtleneck and carries a portfolio containing two drawings of his designs. Ken who has a passion for black and white photography is a great addition to any Barbie collection.

Ken is art director on the latest film at Modern Circle Production Company. Professionally, he sees Barbie as open and energetic, but while not engaged in business matters, he finds her shy and distant. Ken adores Melody with whom he has worked on two previous films.

The only place I've seen this doll is in Parisian stores. Another "Modern Circle" Ken is coming in April.

Here is a picture of the doll I got back in November or December 2003 that fancied another girl besided Barbie! I have this one on my shelf!

Oh yes, that photo took a whopping 35 percent more than your member picture. It's Film-Yak. If you're concerned about bandwidth, and know you don't like the topic, don't waste yours by opening it, then complaining about it. Why is this thread any more of a bandwidth waster than "Man Drives for Help With Shark Attached To His Leg"?

If you're a moderator, and this thread pisses you off, then lock it. I won't be offended. I didn't even start it.

This thread just happened to be about something that I collect, so I participated. I collect Ken dolls! I'll bet if a female had made that last post of mine, you wouldn't have said a word about it.

Film-Yak is for non-film-related things, and there is nothing wrong with me posting things related to this topic. While the population here is overwhelmingly male, who aren't usually into such things, I can understand if interested in this topic is limited.

Sorry for the tone: I had insulting comments posted about myself in a public Huntsville forum yesterday (in a manner that would never be permitted here) and still feel a bit on edge. I got attention brought to myself for being a frequent mall-walker by some person I don't even know, who described me in a negative, insulting way. At least some friends and coworkers defended me in that forum.

There's no harm done. We recently bumped up again to a bigger bandwidth pipe anyway.

Oh Goodie Goodie! Now I can post more of my "vile" and obnoxious posts here without worrying about taking up too much bandwidth. [beer]

The guy deleted his thread a few minutes ago. He said that "that long-haired hippy mall walker guy really creeps me out" in a forum that's read by hundreds of people, including a number of my friends and coworkers. So, some people that didn't know me posted thigns like "yeah, he does creep me out", while my friends and coworkers posted things in my defense. He apologized for it, so it's gone. I live 2 miles from that mall and do walk in it a lot, and in doing so for 16 years, have become part of the culture here -- the person that nearly everyone has seen, but that few know. To a lot of people, I'm a very mysterious person.

Anyway, this Ken doll thread reminds me that I need to send some new pictures in. I've been using the same picture that the moderators setup for me long, long ago when member pictures were first introduced. Why does it remind me that I need to do this?

I'm using pictures of long-haired Ken doll mug shots as icons in that other forum!

My battery is totally dead in my camera, so I'll recharge it tomorrow and do something. Maybe I can evantually send in enough to create a nice rotating gallery of pictures like Josh Jones has.

OH NO!!!! PULEEZE NO more 100+ rotating member pics! I have ***yet*** to discover who the "real" Josh is....

Please Moderators, close the Political Forum as non constuctive, but leave them members' pics ALONE! (To the tune of "Another Brick In The Wall")
