Ken Carson — better known as the Ken doll — is a man on a mission as Valentine's Day approaches.
He's had New York's famed Magnolia Bakery customize a cupcake for his lost love. Though a fellow of few to no words, he stands ready, willing and able to whisper sweet nothings into her tiny ear. He's even taken out billboards in Manhattan and Los Angeles to proclaim his ardor, making heartfelt declarations like "Barbie, we may be plastic, but our love is real."
Theirs is a complicated love story, to be sure, which has played out over half a century, and involved some fashion gaffes (both sides), ill-advised personas (Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken?) and bad-hair decades (his, the 1960s through the '90s).
But things are looking up for toydom's most famous sidekick.
