Grail---Kinda!

Hey Gang!

In 2009 when they announced that Sugar's Daddy Ken would be released, I
was excited! He had a great face and interesting clothes.

I was really looking forward to another older male doll. I didn't really want
Silkstone body (which I was told the body would be) but I would have
accepted it.

I was really surprised at the backlash the doll and its name got. I guess I
should have known after the whole Pregnant Happy Family Midge and
Tattoo Barbie thing. When I saw the doll I thought it might be a nod
to Gianni Versace too. Come on that print jacket said Versace to me.

But like many of the Mattel dolls that were deemed too controversial,
the doll disappeared. I don't think it even made it into production.
So when Cyano Dolls & Rerooting blogger offered to do a few
re-roots for me. I knew one of the things I wanted. I wanted a replica of
the Sugar's Daddy doll. I didn't have the Silkstone Ken head sculpt
so I had to go with what I had which was the 1st Fashionista Ken head.

Unfortunately I didn't have the fashionista body too. I purchased
the head on the dollpage. I will have to be on the lookout for an articulated
male body at the thrift store. The Sugar Daddy outfit, though very nice, is
a little to formal for here in Johnston. So I found an outfit a little more useful
for here. I might make one when a get some down time.

So...Here is Maxwell and his dog Q-Tip out for a walk.
