Dolls, outfits and
dioramas (continued): A Friendship Rift story. . .
The story: It all
began when I wanted to take photos of my talking Ken dolls
(photos above). I had the original Talking Ken,
Talking Busy Ken (who needs talking repair), Sweet Talkin'
Ken, Life in the Dreamhouse Talking Ken & Prince
Stefan. I was able to get them all together for the
photo shoot. Everything was going so well, and THEN
two original Allans showed up and positioned themselves in
the photos (below). This caused a lot of tension
among the dolls; not only because the Allans were the
oldest dolls, but because they weren't even talking dolls
and therefore, had no place being in the photo
(technically). So harsh words were exchanged between
original Talking Ken and the Allans . . .
This caused a lot of hurt
feelings among all. Allan argued that since Repro
Bubblecut Barbie and original Midge were there, that they
should be there, too. Talking Ken didn't see it that
way. So the Allans retreated to their storage case
(below). They sulked for quite a bit. Finally,
Talking Ken came around to the storage case and apologized
to both Allans. He was sorry he didn't welcome them
to the photo. Allan said that they weren't trying to
barge into the photo shoot, but that it looked like so
much fun that they wanted to be part of it, that's
all. Talking Ken understood and then said "Let's Go
Listen to Barbie's Records". All was now well.
THE END.
