Ken Takes Over Social Media to Win Barbie Back by Valentine's Day
One of America's first favorite couples -- Ken and Barbie -- could be reuniting.
Ken, the Barbie doll's male alter-ego, is to get a Facebook and Twitter makeover to win back the affections of his former girlfriend when he turns 50 this year, his maker said Thursday.
Since 1961, Ken has regularly switched costumes, from red bathing trunks to disco trousers, but his youthful and strong body hasn't shown any signs of wrinkling.
