GenXers Childhood Boyfriend

We didn't have gadgets in the 80s. Our playtime consisted of either playing outdoors with friends or Lego, Barbie, Transformers, cartoon figures etc. indoors. Some were privileged to have Atari/Nintendo gaming consoles.

My parents prohibited gaming consoles at home, so my playtime revolved around Barbie and Lego. I was relieved to find my Barbie doll collection* and lonesome Ken. Funny, I had dressed up Ken with just a belt before I stored them over 3 decades ago. Sorry Ken.


I found his one and only outfit and washed it. Ken has finally been reunited with his clothes. I think I removed them because I wanted to experiment on sewing clothes for him. I never learned to make clothes, so he suffered 3+ decades covered up with a belt. 

Anyway, Ken was a common childhood boyfriend, haha. I don't recall what kind of stories I made up while playing with them. I do recall I separated him from the Barbie dolls so they won't fight over him, hahaha. They're still not together. 

Since I'm not good at making clothes, I found out you can buy clothes for Ken online. I'll get him a summer outfit to update his 80s Michael Knight look. Hahaha.
