For
Barbie fans, the state of affairs between Barbie and Ken leaves cause for
concern. Together for 43 years, the famous couple called it quits in 2004. Many
long-time devotees to Barbie games were shocked when the long-term couple
split, but others claim to have seen the end coming well before it arrived.
Apart now for four years, there are rumors that Barbie and Ken have been
spotted together more frequently. These are lending fuel to gossip that the
pair might be seeking reconciliation.
The
two plastic celebrities met on the set of a television commercial in 1961, and
have been together ever since. Despite many well publicized balls, parties, and
special occasions, the pair never married and finally reached a point where
they needed a bit of distance from each other. There were rumors at the time of
the break-up that both parties were seeking attention from newer dolls, but no new
relationships ever came from that gossip.
The New Ken
In
2004, Ken left Barbie amicably seeking a new single life. In 2006, he returned
more muscular and attractive than ever. While nothing is sure regarding the two
years he was out of the spotlight, it’s obvious at least some of his time was
used to develop a new physique and a new style.
When
Ken came back into Barbie’s social arena, he was immediately in competition
with other fit, attractive types, and Barbie stayed cool. Or at least she
appeared to at the time. She complimented his new look through her publicist,
but didn’t seem to return his renewed affections. In 2007, however, Barbie made
a few changes in her life. She developed a fitter, more natural look and took
on some of the latest styles. She changed careers (again) and made new friends.
And most importantly, the small changes she’s made seem to have brought Barbie
back into the dating game.
The New Barbie
When
a woman feels good about herself, her self esteem ratchets up and so does her
general state of productivity and happiness. Barbie looks good and feels great,
and the men in her life – including Ken – are definitely taking notice.
Over
the last year, Barbie and Ken have been seen leaving stores together and
appearing together in television spots. The pair was thought to have reconciled
in 2006, but all evidence now shows that the two might indeed be reaching a new
level of commitment in their relationship in 2008.
The New Relationship
Barbie
is a new woman, proud of her figure and her accomplishments. On her own for the
first time in four decades, she showed the world that a woman can survive and
most definitely thrive on her own. Being apart gave both Barbie and Ken a
golden opportunity to redefine themselves and seek new beginnings. And now that
they have new outlooks on life, they also seem to have a very positive outlook
on their future together. We wish them the best of luck.
