But suddenly i also start to appear Kenclearly outnumbered by Barbies, who seem to exist only for their function – “I exist only if Barbie looks at me” (this is how Ken interpreted by Ryan Gosling). However, it soon turns out that Ken doesn’t have a home, he doesn’t do any work other than being on the “beach” – which we don’t quite know what it is – and he’s all smiles, muscles, beer and fights.
