Fashion Doll Friday – Rose Prince Ken 2001


African American Rose Prince Ken from 2001
Rose Prince Ken has to make do with cyclamen.

Continuing the royal theme from last week here is my African American Rose Prince Ken. I don’t buy many Ken’s and I don’t buy many princes and princesses but I liked his smile. When I lifted him off the shelf to photograph he had a sprinkling of dust on his head which made me think he looked a little like President Obama does these days. Unlike the President though his grey soon washed out.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  1. This handsome guy totally escaped me on the doll shelves, but then I’m not really looking in the princess section. He would make a fine Obama OOAK.

    • If I get tired of him as a prince perhaps I’ll do that. Normally as I said I don’t buy princes but I liked him and AA dolls are more HTF here. I think I had to get him from eBay.
