Mattel on Wednesday said Barbie sales jumped 16% in the third quarter, riding the wave of the blockbuster movie. The "Barbie" film, released in July, is largely responsible for the bump, Mattel said. Mattel said Hot Wheels sales jumped 22% when compared to the same three-month period last year. Earlier this year, car makeover competition series "Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge" premiered on NBC. Mattel also announced last year that a Hot Wheels film is in the works with Warner Bros. , the studio behind "Barbie."

Bloomingdale's is just one of the retailers and brands trying to tap into Barbie buzz. With a splash of hot pink, retailers hope to chase away the summer doldrums and inflation blues. About half of Aldo's Barbie collection sold out in the first week. So far, the Barbie merchandise is "selling incredibly well" and appealing to customers across generations, said Frank Berman, the department store's chief marketing officer. Gap has sold out of some of its popular Barbie items, including rectangular pink sunglasses.

New York (CNN) Barbie isn't one to be pigeonholed into a profession just because she's a woman. She's had an impressive 200 careers on her resume — doctor, astronaut, computer engineer, CEO and even presidential candidate. Among them are the Wojcicki sisters — Susan (longtime CEO of YouTube), Anne (CEO of at-home DNA testing company 23andME) and Janet (professor of pediatrics and epidemiology at the University of California, San Francisco). Susan Wojcicki announced in February that was "stepping back" from her leadership role at YouTube after nearly a decade of running the video-sharing platform. She later became Google's 16th employee and has worked at the company for nearly 25 years.
