Barbie Means Business

This June, the newest version of America's most iconic toy is hitting the shelves: Entrepreneur Barbie! This version, in keeping with the businesswoman theme, carries a smartphone while wearing a pink dress and sensible heels.

Check out the video below for more info:

It's important to remember, however, that Barbie does not accurately represent what women look like, regardless of her newest occupation. Though I applaud her latest career choice (it's great that she's breaking into the business boy's club!), Barbie has absolutely ridiculous and literally impossible body proportions. Women come in all different shapes and sizes, and, no matter what shape that is, we can all be just as entrepreneurial as Barbie.
