—Lisa McKendall, manager of marketing and communications, Mattel Toys
Mattel Toys, in the person of Lisa McKendall, denies everything. “Absolutely not,” she said. “It’s a necklace. It holds charms he can share with Barbie. C’mon, this is a doll designed for little girls, something like that would be entirely inappropriate.” OK, Lisa, let’s call it a necklace. Queers have been wearing cock rings as necklaces for years.
Cock rings exploded —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. Chrome cock ring necklaces became de rigueur rave wear. For about a year every gay boy at a rave was wearing at least one—these cock rings were often pressed into service later in the evening, to help totally tweaked ravers keep up what the X was pulling down.
And what’s cool in the USA right now? What’s hip? Queers. Turn on MTV and watch the seven-foot-tall drag queen strut her fine stuff for the heartland. Lesbian comics on. Gay and lesbian activists in the Oval Office chatting up the president. A live feed of the March on Washington running on C-Span. As nice as Lisa is , I’m not sure I buy her reasoning.
