Barbie & Ken Outfits?

I'm doing a dance and this has the theme of "plastic". Like fake, materialistic people.
My partner and I thought a good representation of this would be through having Barbie & Ken costumes.

I know they have a lot of outfits. But I'm talking their trademark colors and styles.

For Barbie it's pretty much a bright pink gown with a pink bow? What is Ken? Does he just wear a suit?

Oh and if you could find a photo for me to work with that would be great.

Thanks.
The problem is, it's been a long time since I last played with barbies so I don't know exactly what the pink barbie dress and the ken suit looks like.

Usually a pink dress with a bow is perfect. Ken, usually a button down shirt and slacks. But a suit is still good. You want lots of mousse for Ken's hair. Do a style like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/70/Ken1968.jpg Everyone will get it. For barbie, excessively curly blonde hair. Nobody will get it unless she's blonde. I think this is exactly what you're looking for: http://www.barbiecollector.com/images/showcase/products/L9590_9993_main.jpg

Makeup! Not much detail for Ken. Obviously, the basics for stage to keep from looking washed out or excessively white. But other than that, nothing much. Barbie, on the other hand...

Fake eyelashes are the way to go, especially the kind with glitter, jewels, or rhinestones. Maybe even a feather. Try these:

Lots and lots and lots and lots of blush and bronzer. Also, wild colors for eye shadow. I say bright, bright, caked-on pink to match the dress. Lips should be sparkly and pink. Earrings if you can, but probably not seeing as you're dancing. That's ok though. Do your nails -- or get fake ones. I recommend fake! The faker, the better.

Good luck, hope I helped.♥
