Barbie's resume....
Permalink  

The iconic Barbie doll turned 50 this year, and Newsweek is celebrating her birthday with a photo gallery of some of her more bizarre iterations over the years (including "pooper scooper Barbie" - check it out at:

http://www.newsweek.com/id/185536



(as a side note, the original Barbie was proportioned in such a way that, if she were real, her waist wouldn't have been big enough to hold up her torso.  Newer Barbies are proportioned somewhat closer to real people :) ).

At least they made a bit more realistic though I'm not sure how many people would be smiling while scooping poop.

PS Does anyone remember the outrage this barbie caused because she had no ring on her finger?
