Uh oh, more dancercising!

I've posted Barbie Allen's first album (here) and here is the long awaited (?) sequel.

All those smiles are completely spontaneous, right? :p 

If you checked out the first album, you'll have noticed by now that they felt the need to split up the word 'dancercise' into its component words, because, uh...people are dumb? Heh.

Dig them stylin' togs!

So many shiny, happy people. Barbie look like she's just about to start crying in that top pic.

Sample of the instruction booklet. (obviously)

What?! They sell other things too?

YOWZA! $38.00 for the dance sweats! That's 1981 money. According to an online inflation calculator, that would be $97.31 in 2013! Not to mention the shipping price, of course.

Dancercise your blues away!

Must be fun. Look at all those big smiles!

That guy is Ed Allen, who had his own show called The Ed Allen Exercise Show, aimed at housewives. He seems to have been another Jack LaLanne. Barbie was his second wife, who did routines on his show and on her own.

See? Ed Allen. :p

Always with the smiling...

Think anyone dancercises anymore? 

More info on Ed here. Can't find much on Barbie, though.

P.S. This album was also printed with the name Dance/Exercise. I guess they felt the need to explain the combination of words? :p
