The doll, which comes out in April 2010, will retail $for 81.99 and is supposed to be reflective of the Palm Beach crowd. Although, some think that Mattel may have missed the bill, given that many "Palm Beachers" are retirement age with . Although, what surpises me most is the name... Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken?<br /><br /><br />To me, children shouldn't know what a "sugar daddy" is, let alone play with a doll named such. Mattel representatives claim that the dog included with the Ken doll, bears the name "sugar". So of course, Ken is the dog's "daddy" and thus the name is derived. I'm a little skeptical if that was the original intent for the name or a horrible attempt at a cover-up.bthompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12278761984542385576noreply@blogger.com
