Ken Doll Fashion Packs!

 Hey Gang!

I found these male fashion paks at Walmart!

First up!

It feels like this pack should have names like Plaid About You! The pack comes with sunglasses but no shoes. The sunglasses are more like the ones you would see on Barbie.

Next is!

This one looks a lot like .....

the 1963 Allan doll outfit! I put in on my rebodied doll.
Allan: This does feel familiar!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Vestis Virum Reddit

Hey Gang!

Vestis Virum Reddit means clothes make the man! (This was one of the first things
I learned in Latin!)  So, is that true?

When you get a new doll or dress an old doll, how much does what he is dressed in 
or what you put him in drives the character or the story?

My Harold didn't come to life until he got his Carhartt overall!
I purchased them on eBay for him!

He just got a new pair of denim overall to add to his work wardrobe. You know
a man can't work hard in the same outfit... well not work hard and smell
good!

So while looking over his new outfit before putting in on him I wondered how much
the outfit made the doll or his story.  Where the guy in the outfit might go to
find what he wants to where.

So here is Allan!


He is a shop at Ralph Lauren kinda guy! He just got a puppy as an early
Christmas present.  He is calling him wiener

Please note that I have repainted his hair and eyes! He feels like a new man.
He is kinda classic, a little roguish and very cute! He comes from money and
likes horses too!

This is Ryan!

He is a hip-hop City Blue kinda guy. He likes graphic novels,
Rihanna!


Ryan: She is the screen saver on my phone! She is so hot!

 He is always looking for new apps for his phone which he often misplaces!

Here is Ramone!

He is a Banana Republic kinda guy. He is an archaeology fellow...
Ramone': Taxi!

with an emphasis on native peoples.

Ramone': Darn it!

He will be shared during his fellowship between Dr. Running Bear


Ramone': Move to a new place always takes some getting use to!


and Dr. Grey at the Museum. 

He loves Indiana Jones, Afro Cuban music and salsa dancing!

Here is Melvin.

He is an Old Navy kinda guy!

He is a social animal! He likes any kind of game! Sports games to card games!
He loves line dancing and Neo Soul music! He is learning to skate and snow board!

Here is Harold in his new overalls!
Harold: Now if I could get a new shirt!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Allan Come Out To Play! And others too!

Hey Gang!

I purchased a vintage Allan doll back in 1999. He has very rarely seen
the light of day! His legs don't bend and he has that vintage body too.
I read a joke about Ken in Barbie Bazaar. (yeah, I miss Barbie Bazaar!)
Ken and Allan had disappeared for two years or more.  When asked
where he was, it read at the gym!  They were reintroduced the had
muscles and not the collegiate physique (yes, that is what is was called)
that they had then.
College guys have way more muscles now!

I have some misgiving about re-boding him.  It was going to be permanent!
Should I do that to a vintage doll? Yes! I am so much happier with him now!
He seems to have swagger!
His old body! boo hoo!  I am hope to sell it and get some money for Allan's
new wardrobe!
Yes, I plan to repaint his hair, touch up his eyes and brows.  I might add some
lip color too!
Allan: So hurry up!
I guess I can wait, I waited all this time!
So let's see who else we can update!
Why not  Repro Smashin’ Satin on a Disney body!

 It opens us up to way more outfits and...
is better looking than Liv doll body!

Yes, I'm changing all of my francies dolls who have
been on Liv bodies to Disney!

Oh, and Repro 30th Anniversary Gad-About!
 compared to the original!
It will get sold too!  If anyone is interested,
let me know!
On her new body she reminds me of
Anne Hathaway!

Sorry, I don't have this top!
OK, Last but not list is 1976 Ballerina Barbie doll!
 Her final body might a fashionista
body
 but I don't have one for her just yet!

OK, Thanks For Looking!
