"Barbie, oh, beautiful Barbie, I'll make believe I'm you."
Lovely #3 and #4 Ponytails model fashions in this 1960 commercial. How many dolls would you like to buy for $3?
A 2004 article about the "break-up" says, "Barbie met Ken on the set of a TV commercial in 1961, according to
Mattel, and they have been inseparable ever since. It was hinted the separation may be partially due to Ken's reluctance to get married."
This is the TV ad they're talking about.
"Barbie daydreams with you"...
Football
player Ken looks like a bend-leg Ken to me. I love how they
promoted the Masquerade fashions. Very artistic!
"Here are five of your favorite friends."
Very cute Mattel commercial announcing Barbie's 'new look' with the bend-legs
like the American Girl, Midge, Skipper, Allan and Ken.
