Barbie gets a (new) job

Wow, who would have thought the blonde bombshell would stop worrying about Ken and her hot pink Corvette and take a day job like the rest of us (well most of the rest of us). Barbie is becoming a computer engineer, surprising cause I thought most of that work got outsourced to Dubai, ah but I digress, continue reading to hear about all the bells and technological whistles this new Barbie comes with…

“Barbie, whose various careers have taken her from aerobics instructor to supermodel to business executive, will next be a computer engineer, a career chosen by half a million Barbie fans.

Computer Engineer Barbie still has her trademark cascade of blond hair, impossibly small waist, feet frozen on tiptoes to slide into her high heels and a whole lot of hot pink.

She also wears a neon-colored T-shirt with a binary code pattern and carries a smartphone and a Bluetooth headset. Her hot pink glasses will come in handy during late nights coding on her hot pink laptop. Before any one begins complaining, Mattel points out that her accessories were chosen with the help of the Society of Women Engineers and the National Academy of Engineering.

Computer engineer will be the 126th career for Barbie, who turned 50 last year. For the first time, Mattel, which makes the doll, asked people to vote for her career, choosing among computer engineer, architect, environmentalist, news anchor and surgeon.”
