My get rich plan...

In case you haven't heard, Crossfit and Reebok have teamed up.  The idea that Crossfit is going all "mainstream and commercial" might make some hardcore CFer's toes curl but it actually has inspired me to come up with a few ideas of my own to take this cutting edge exercise to the masses (and get rich in the process!!!)

May I present to you the newest in the I Can Be... Barbie  line
CROSSFIT BARBIE
 Could you imagine this doll getting into the homes of little girls and boys (with progressive parents) all over the world.  She would be joining the likes of I Can Be...Barbies like "Baby Doctor", "Vet", and "Ballet Dancer".  An edgier, more hardcore Barbie, with a take no prisoner attitude.  She comes fully accessorized with all the essential pieces of equipment that help her get her sweat on, a 14 lbs Medicine ball, Speed rope, adjustable rings, steel pull up bar, 16 kg kettle bell, 45 lbs bar with various bumper plates, a 20 inch box and of course 2 blocks of chalk. Her entire customized "box" is outfitted with specially made equipment in various shades of pinks, blues and purples. But don't get the wrong idea her favourite place to sweat it out isn't much more than her and Ken's garage out back with its white washed walls.   We wouldn't want anyone to think she was soft.   She takes her working out very seriously but she still values her fashionista reputation so she only wears the trendiest pink skins, works out barefoot (paleo style) and is able to her rock her favourite WOD ("Barbara") in a very sporty skirt outfit (OK you got me...apparently you can't buy shorts for Barbie or for that matter shoes that aren't heels).  Where is Ken you ask... good question...he doesn't think Crossfit is for him so he is at the local gym working on isolating those chest muscles on the pec dec machine.  

Cha-ching! Wished you thought of it right? I will be waiting patiently by the phone for Mattel to call.

  1. I think either you have too much time on your hands or you have been lifting too much weight lately. ;) You make me laugh! And I know who to call when the boys have to make dioramas in school. This masterpiece deserves a place of honour in the new gym (if you don't hear from Mattel of course)!
