Programmer Barbie's Clothing: black stretch pants with pockets, white t shirt, purple hoodie jacket with pockets, black blazer for business meetings, cool black sneaker shoes, long blonde hair styled in low ponytail

Accessories: iPhone with case, 8 core (16 cores with hyperthreading, Intel branding opportunity:-)) laptop (for multicore parallel programming), iSlate, purple leather backpack/tote to carry it all

Comes with: programmable girl toddler Robot "Skipper" and book that shows girls how to program their robots to do different things - say phrases, wave hands, go to sleep, etc.


Not sure about looks, but it would be fitting if she came with child friendly software that would let her be programmed to do or say simple things.


Good idea. Instead of "Math is hard" she would blurt out "A finite graph is planar if and only if it does not contain a subgraph that is homeomorphic to K5 or K3,3"


Barbie mindstorms.


She would have a pink computer, with two giant words printed on the screen in a thickly-bordered box: "Access Granted."


Marissa Mayer.


I'd buy that.


3 words:

Pink soldering iron.


Or a stack of HR Sexual Harassment Report forms.
