Sadly, my dreams of finding the "one" began to fade in the 2000's. This was mainly the result of the Barbie and Ken breakup of 2004, the death of John Hughes, and my increasing obsession with Sex and the City (The series, not the movies!).
So by 2011 I had completely given up on the idea of true love and romance. That was until today. Today, my hope has been restored courtesy of Matel.
For those of you who are not aware of the dirty breakup, Barbie was done with Ken back in 2004. He was kind of high maintenance and became completely jealous of Barbies booming career. He loved her, but he perhaps loved her too much. I heard he wouldn't even let her out of the house, terrified that he'd lose her. Barbie's BFF Theresa even told me that they went out one night and Ken was blowing up her phone, flipping out, demanding she come back home asap. Bummer city!
Barbie loved Ken but being the smart independent hottie that she was, she dumped his ass and moved on to Australian surfer Blaine who was a breath of fresh air. He was fun, carefree, and umm hello? totally hot!
The breakup didn't just devastate me, it also tore poor Ken apart. He fell into the bottle for a little bit and had a string of meaningless one night stands. Finally in 2007, Ken started to get his shit together and did some soul searching. He went traveling and just focused on himself, figuring out what he wanted and why he had become a total bugaboo. After a few years of Ken doing Ken, he discovered that his crazy antics had all been based on his insecurity.
Meanwhile in Australia, Barbie was getting pissed off at Blaine and his lackadaisical ways. She's a doctor, a lawyer, a model, and works at McDonalds and all Blaine did was smoke pot and bitch about Outback Steakhouse. I mean don't get me wrong, he was totally fun, but not the kind of guy you could really get serious with. Barbie missed the strong connection she shared with her first love Ken. He may have been difficult, but their love was real.
Anyway, long story short, Ken is trying to win back Babs in time for the most romantic day of the year. Go here to vote and lets get these two kids back together so that I, and girls everywhere, can once again believe in love.
