The Magic Earring Pen is a revolutionary invention in the field of jewelry and fashion. This unique piece combines the functionality of an earring and a pen, making it both stylish and practical. One of the key features of the Magic Earring Pen is its design. It is crafted with precision and attention to detail, resulting in a sleek and elegant look. The pen portion is seamlessly integrated into the earring, with a discreet mechanism that allows it to be easily extracted when needed. This design ensures that the earring looks just like any other piece of jewelry when the pen is not in use.
Disregarding the fact, that I still have several Barbies from when I was a young lass. Earring Magic Ken is special, because he was inadvertently designed off of queer rave fashion of the early 1990s. Specifically, he’s wearing a cock ring as a necklace, which was a known queer fashion statement at the time.
With projects like Making Queer History and books like Queer, There and Everywhere emerging, younger members of the LGBTQ community are getting more and more access to their history. As Savage outlined back in the 1990s, the chrome metal ring used as a sex toy was also worn as a fashion accessory among certain subsets of the queer community.
This design ensures that the earring looks just like any other piece of jewelry when the pen is not in use. Not only is the Magic Earring Pen aesthetically pleasing, but it also serves a practical purpose. The pen itself is of high quality, providing a smooth writing experience.
Introducing Earring Magic Ken! He’s wearing a what as a necklace?
Last month, after a week of bidding I acquired one Earring Magic Ken doll. Mattel’s best selling Ken doll.
I know what you might be thinking. Thomas you are an adult, why on earth are you buying a Ken doll? And moreover why is that relevant to your blog?

After reaching out to their audience of young children Mattel learned they would like a new Ken doll to be cooler and more hip. So they went out looking for what was cool and as it happened the queer fashion worming its way into the mainstream was what they picked up as cool. Columnist Dan Savage wrote an article in 1993, the year the doll came out, detailing a really excellent explanation of what was going on. I would highly recommend it as reading for anyone interested in learning more.
“Cock rings exploded (ouch!)—as vest zipper pulls, as key rings, as bracelets; rubber ones, leather ones, chain ones. But the thick chrome variety, the Classic Coke of cock rings, was and is most often worn as a pendant,” (Savage).
In 2017, Savage said in an article by Bryan Young, that he thought the “Earring Magic Ken incident [was] more of an amusing cultural blip than some kind of important moment, noting that neither the doll nor the hubbub is well-known today,” and that he didn’t think that a gay man under 40 would know about it. Well, it’s 2019 and I’m 25, so here we are.
Now I’m a queer historian so I am well aware that I’m an outlier here, because I seek out this kind of stuff. However, I discovered Earring Magic Ken through a decently popular post on Tumblr. A post which currently has over 270,000 notes. That’s no small amount of people and I’m sure many of them, like myself, are on the younger side of things. With projects like Making Queer History and books like “Queer, There and Everywhere” emerging, younger members of the LGBTQ community are getting more and more access to their history. As a result, fascinating tidbits like Earring Magic Ken are resurfacing.
The Tumblr post does admittedly have some misinformation attached to it. There’s a reblog that says that there was no corresponding Barbie for Earring Magic Ken. There were two actually, a blonde and a brunette Barbie as well as a Midge doll, they just didn’t sell particularly well opposite Ken, who flew off the shelves.
Below, I have linked two different iterations of the Tumblr post, as well as a link to the Dan Savage article, the Bryan Young article and a few others.

"Magic Earring Ken was a huge disappointment for me. The storyline was incredibly weak and the character development was non-existent. I found myself bored throughout the whole movie, waiting for something interesting to happen but it never did. The acting was also subpar, with the actors delivering their lines in a dull and emotionless manner. Overall, I would not recommend watching this film as it was a complete waste of time."

"Magic Earring Ken had potential but fell short in many aspects. The special effects were mediocre at best and did not add any excitement to the film. The plot was confusing and poorly executed, leaving me feeling unsatisfied and confused at the end. The film also lacked depth in its characters, making it hard to connect or care about their struggles. While the concept of the movie was interesting, the execution left much to be desired."

The acting was subpar, with the actors delivering their lines in a wooden and unconvincing manner. The special effects were also disappointing, lacking the wow factor that I expected. Overall, I found Magic Earring Ken to be a forgettable and underwhelming film."
