So, they finally came out with a Diva Geek Barbie.. ok so maybe that’s not her REAL title but it should be!
According to a release from Mattel, the unveiling of Computer Engineer Barbie–she’ll hit stores this fall–coincides with “a year-long, global brand initiative to inspire girls of all ages

Earlier on Friday, toymaker Mattel announced the results of an online contest to name the profession that the latest edition of Barbie dolls would have, and ultimately two were named: alongside “News Anchor” was the popular-vote winner, “Computer Engineer Barbie.” Yes, she has a Bluetooth headset, a pink laptop, a smartphone, and hot-pink glasses. Oh, and she wears sparkly black leggings and a neon green shirt patterned with binary code, the sort of outfit that was probably only acceptable among Burning Man attendees in the late 1990s who liked to talk about “cyberspace.” Read the rest of the article on cnet.com
Can you freaking believe that it took til to the year 2010!!!for Mattel to come up with a Barbie in the technical industry? Meanwhile in the “real” world computers effect the daily life of almost every human in every generations and has had a HUGE socioeconomic effect on our country and our earth in general. But Barbie is just now considering a career in computer engineering?? LOL Hilarious.
How many Ballerina Barbie’s have you seen? Too many! Bride Barbie? Are you kidding me? That’s what they came up with?
By the way..I don’t know any computer engineers that look like this or would wear that but to be honest I’ve only personally met a very small handful of women in the industry but they’ve all been hip dressers and very cool but far from blonde bombshells. We usually the only girl in the room so it’s not in our best interest to play up the sex pot thing.
I really wish there were more women in our industry. Hmmm.. maybe I’ll start blaming Mattel for that? Maybe there wasn’t enough geeky Barbie’s for my generation of women? Maybe this new Barbie will change all that!! Haha! Yeh right. Women from my generation (from my experiance) either don’t get why I’d be interested in technology or they think I do stuff straight of the Matrix and it’s all just way to complicated for them.I don’t have the answer or care to much “about the meaning of it all”.. I just think it’s kinda cool – a Diva Geek Barbie!
My real name is Barbara, I’m a geek and I’m a Diva! so Wow she tickles me pink. Regardless of her lame fashion sense.
