Did you have Ken dolls? How did male dolls act in relation to your female dolls?

"We had two Ken dolls to our ten-ish Barbies. We only had one Ken for the longest time so he was usually the prince at the ball our Barbies were going to. Ken was pretty much ignored. He would dance with the barbies at the ball and that was pretty much his role."

What occupation did your favorite Barbie doll have?

"All of my Barbies were in a magical world with fairies, leprechauns, and unicorns. My favorite Barbie was Kendra, and she was a fairy thief, but usually a princess in disguise. Brad, my normal Ken, was a leprechaun prince. Mika, who was that Barbie with the first movable belly, was a barmaid fairy and worked in a bar."
