Barbie Doll Anyone?

It appears that Barbie has a new career... Her 126th.
She is now a computer engineer.
Mattel explains as follows:

"The winner of the popular vote is Computer Engineer. Computer Engineer Barbie®, debuting in Winter 2010, inspires a new generation of girls to explore this important high-tech industry, which continues to grow and need future female leaders.
“All the girls who imagine their futures through Barbie will learn that engineers — like girls — are free to explore infinite possibilities, limited only by their imagination,” says Nora Lin, President, Society of Women Engineers. “As a computer engineer, Barbie will show girls that women can turn their ideas into realities that have a direct and positive impact on people’s everyday lives in this exciting and rewarding career.”
To create an authentic look, Barbie® designers worked closely with the Society of Women Engineers and the National Academy of Engineering to develop the wardrobe and accessories for Computer Engineer Barbie®. Wearing a binary code patterned tee and equipped with all the latest gadgets including a smart phone, Bluetooth headset, and laptop travel bag, Computer Engineer Barbie® is geek chic." 

My favourite must still be California Barbie... cool car and Bikini!!

Jag älskade Barbie när jag var yngre, men då tänkte jag inte på hennes utseende. Idag vill nog småtjejerna se ut som sin Barbie-docka, då är det ju bra att Matell försöker ge bimbon, öh förlåt, Barbie ett riktigt jobb ;P

The funny thing is...when a girl looks that... she doesn't have to find a real job... because she will most likely end up with a rich husband... ;)
