One of us! One of us!

If you don't follow the world of Barbie news, the world's most famous doll asked the world to help choose her newest career. The votes are in, and THANK GOODNESS the Internet got involved, because ParentDish is reporting that Barbie's shiny new career is as a computer engineer!!!!

With her new job comes a great new look -- she's decked out in pink, ones and zeros, sports a Bluetooth, and is ready to program some software and work on your circuit board. Although I'm just a blogger and not as electronically skilled as she is, I'm happy to have a geeky, intelligent Barbie to relate to in the world.

I do have just one hesitation, and you know, I'll say it: Mattel, e-Barbie looks nothing like we geeky gals. Just look at this side-by-side comparison:

Urlesque also got an exclusive sneak peek of Barbie's first day at work. Video below.

That's Kelly, that is. Kelly, get yourself a picture of Marissa Mayer - the hottest computer geek there is.

Because all computer engineer lay-dees have pink glasses and platinum hair. And like to wear their profession on their shirt.

I'd rather show up to work in a black catsuit. But let's save that for Front-end Developer Barbie.

Exclamation marks are like cats: more than three is a sign of insanity.

That Barbie looks just like the one that showed up at my house last week. THe only thing missing is the 350lb guy that was driving her. Maybe I can find him as an accessory.

I don't care I love her outfit (minus the pink glasses) and the pink laptop. Despite some of you I'm a rather girly geek. With my hot pink game room and purplish pink room.
