Then Babs is left with an STD and a black eye. Oh, she has fun with him, but only because he's good in bed due to all the practice he's had with Skipper and the other little dolls who are clueless. Ken and Barbie have quite the jet set life on his bad credit until the pretenses are exposed and Barbie runs for the hills.
