HAD Fall 2012 Feature 3

In 1986 Jewel Secrets Ken® had one extra fashion that was sold separately...this fabulous silver tuxedo. What kind of guy needs two silver tuxedoes in one season? Only our buddy Ken would. I found this one (pictured above) for just $10 at Beach Cities Barbie Club fundraising sale.

Since it is a little beat up lets crack it open and see what's inside. Oh, notice it originally cost $9.88 at Toy City. That's an only twelve cent increase over 26 years.

Inside we find a tuxedo, top hat, shoes and socks, a cape, a 90 day limited warranty and a story book called The Secret of Pleasant Manor. You should click the cover picture (right) and read it.

There is a super bombshell ending that will rock the Barbie® world forever. Are Barbie® and Ken® kissing cousins? Ewwww. That’s probably a jewel secret they should keep quiet.

RIGHT: Jewel Secrets Ken® fashion comic book. CLICK on the comic to see what's inside!!

Nice socks Ken®. All the best Ken® outfits come with socks I say. After Ken®vention I have an even greater appreciation for Ken® socks.


This fashion includes the classic sleeveless tuxedo shirt. Unless you are Ken® please do not try this look.	This is his fancy pinstripe tuxedo with jewel-like lapels and glittery bow tie. It's a nice fit considering he found it in an old trunk in the attic.	"Yes! A gray top hat top hat to match the cape, giving him just the right debonair, old fashioned look". It takes a real man to pull off the cape look. Ken®, Superman, Dracula... okay it probably takes an imaginary man to pull off the cape look.

The Jewel Secrets just keep coming! The cape is a purse for you! Stylish. Make sure you empty the purse before you put it back on Ken®.

The back of the package says "Yes! There are more Jewel Secrets Fashions!" Does that mean there are more storybooks? Could Ken® be in them? Could there be more of Barbie® and Ken®'s (jewel) secrets revealed? Happy Collecting everyone!
