Not going to lie, as soon as I saw this on eBay, I knew I had to have it and purchased it with no hesitation. Haven't seen this since my childhood.
I received the awards back in 2009. This orchid is grown upside down as the unusually beautiful, heart-shaped leaves hang straight down; you have to turn the leaves(which are rather cupped shaped as well) over to see the flowers.
Explanation of American Orchid Society (AOS) Awards:
CCM (Certificate of Cultural Merit)The beginning orchid grower may hope to attain this award because it recognizes the grower, rather than flower quality. The CCM/AOS may be given more than once if the plant continues to thrive and increase in both the size and number of flowers.
CBR (Certificate of Botanical Recognition)
Awarded to rare and unusual species with educational interest that has received no previous awards. The entire plant must be exhibited. This award is granted provisionally and filed with the judging center Chair pending taxonomic verification supplied by the exhibitor.

In my research on this Ken doll here is what I dug up…
Earring Magic Ken was introduced in February of 1993 at the toy convention in New York City and by May he was getting as much press as the new Coke! He was everywhere in the media. He even made the front page of the New York Times Arts and Leisure section.
Why? The first ear piercing, the two tone hair, and the outfit were factors, but most controversial was Mattel’s choice of accessories for their new “cool” Ken, especially his circle neck ring.
Ken's entire Earring Magic outfit includes a Gaultier purple faux-leather vest, a “straight-out-of-International-Male purple mesh shirt”, black jeans with pink stitching, and shoes. It seems that the designers at Mattel of Earring Magic Ken pulled a fast one on Mattel.
Ken’s necklace and vest accessory caused such an uproar with parents and the general public that Earring Magic Ken was dubbed the "Alternative Lifestyle" Ken and several other homophobic names by “mainstream America”. Supposedly an urban legend spread that his earring-inspired necklace was used for something quite different.
His redesign was created from advice solicited by little girls, ages 7-11, which played with him. They wanted Ken to look a "little cooler". However, rumor has it that the designers of this Ken intentionally made him “too cool”.
Mattel had serious plans to discontinue Ken and replaced with a new beau for Barbie. This is the pivotal moment in Ken's history. Not only the controversy that surrounded him, his look and accessories, but also the fact that the idea to replace him was seriously considered by Mattel.
However, in spite of the controversy and the outrage of the parents, who barraged Mattel with mail and calls, Earring Magic Ken flew off the shelves, thus, proving Ken still had appeal and marketing value.
However, by Christmas in 1993, Mattel crumbed under the homophobic pressure of mothers and parents everywhere and pulled the doll from the market. However, by then, most stores were completely sold out of Kens, largely due to the Gay community's interest.
Today, this doll is very hard to find and much sought after.
