The real story on Barbie's and kens full names
Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. In a series of novels published by Random House in the 1960s, her parents' names are given as George and Margaret Roberts from the fictional town of Willows, Wisconsin.In the Random House novels, Barbie attended Willows High School, while in the Generation Girl books, published by Golden Books in 1999, she attended the fictional Manhattan International High School in New York City (based on the real-life Stuyvesant High School).
She has an on-off romantic relationship with her boyfriend Ken (Ken Carson), who first appeared in 1961. A news release from Mattel in February 2004 announced that Barbie and Ken had decided to split up, but in February 2006 they were hoping to rekindle their relationship after Ken had a makeover
love the history Manikin - I want to know what kind of makeover Ken got that would make Barbie want him back?
Well Hunter I think that is obvious as a important part was missing on Ken and I think they found it lol . Sorry but you asked :-) And Barbie and Ken were happy ever after .
LOLz :)
This ken is a real "Hipster" with the mod shirt.
