Barbie in her plus 50 year career has showcased every possible job in the world - from astronaut to physician to nurse to flight attendant to surgeon to even a Nascar driver. While Ken can commonly be found in a wedding tuxedo or surfing, Barbie has done it all. Fitness is simply another venue for Barbie. If you will recall Barbie started out in a one-piece swim suit - the now famous black and white strip complete with fashion shoes for a stylist sun tanning experience.

Throughout the decades, Barbie has now only showcased all the various occupations, she has also been the fashion model for every designer's dream evening gown. The gowns and the designers are almost endless.

From Olympic swimmer to ....to aerobics to .....jogger to....lifeguard.

Barbie Accomplishments

  • An Astronaut (before anyone even landed on the moon)
  • First US Presidential Candidate (1992)
  • First Nascar Driver (1995) before Danika
  • Assertive Barbie (1972) Barbie’s eyes were changed from looking coyly off to the side to staring straight on.

Fitness is just one of Barbie's many avocations and vocations. Except for wedding and horse back riding, no other activity complete with costumes included the entire family.

Remember the first Barbie in her black and white striped swim suit.  Well her wardrobe, her career and occupations and avocations have grown over the 50 years.

Check out the many first for Barbie from an astronaut to a Nascar driver and much more.

The visual viewing and history is simply fun!

Enjoy!

Bratz even has gotten into the fitness field. Check out the many different Bratz dolls complete with fitness gear!

Bratz was launched in 2001 by MGA Entertainment.  It is is an American line of fashion dolls and related merchandise.  The 2001 collection included 10" dolls named Cloe, Jade, Sasha, and Yasmin.

A little different from Barbie in their large heads but nonetheless dolls that play to everyone's fantasy with fun eyeshadow, and lush, glossy lips.

There is a Bratz movie, television series and music too!

These are too cute! The barbies look almost vintagey, but I like it! Love this hub.

Pinkchic18,

Isn't it funny how fashion is so "dated" - you are right - vintagey is a good word for it. Thank you for stopping by.
