Barbie Was Made Because of the Sexy Times!
Okay so I admit when I was like six and playing with Barbies, I used to make them do really crazy things. I remember one specific time my mom walked in right when I had Ken lifting up Barbie’s shirt. I then threw the two dolls across the room, but it was too late. My mom knew I was making naughty times with plastic.
So it doesn’t surprise me that the creater behind them was just as perverted as me. According the new book Toy Monster: The Big, Bad World of Mattel, Jack Ryan, the designer who made Barbie popular was:
a “full-blown seventies-style swinger” with “a manic need for sexual gratification.” Back in the day, Ryan would host several orgies at his Bel-Air mansion.
Dayyyyum. He’s also described as surrounding himself with “busty Barbie clones.” He also married many times and was once hitched to Zsa Zsa Gabor.
The “voice of Barbie” Gwen Florea, also dated this clown. In the book she reveals:
“He once said to me he loved me being tall so he could stick his nose in my boobs when he hugged me.”
And when it rains, it pours…a close friend of Ryan’s says in the book:
“When Jack talked about creating Barbie . . . it was like listening to somebody talk about a sexual episode, almost like listening to a sexual pervert . . .” Ryan apparently would even take “calls at Mattel from a madam” and would often hook up with one “very thin and child-like” hooker.
Well, Barbie is a very sexual being. All of that plastic and no panties man. And if you’re wondering where the doll names came from, they were named after the children of the Mattel founders. Unfortunately, the honor embarrassed the dude who made the doll Ken famous. It’s said that Ken:
“grew up embarrassed and humiliated by having an anatomically incorrect boy doll named after him . . . [with] no hint of genitalia.”
And Ken didn’t like the boobies! He was a closet gay who was married and had three kids. In 1994 he died after suffering from AIDS. Holy fuck! My images of this Barbie empire are shattered! Not so much about Barbie’s slutty image because we all knew what that bitch was doing on weeknights, but Ken! I mean, Ken was always kind of gay so it makes sense. There was just never any butt hole so that’s what always through me off. Oh well.
