Barbie doesn't have many marketable job skills. Then again, occupations
like Dream Bride and Princess rarely require an advanced degree. For parents
uncomfortable with this pink-hued fantasy world, a line of career-themed
dolls called Smartees--created by two young California entrepreneurs--might
be the answer. Though Amanda the Architect sports the body and hair of a
supermodel, she's not one to coast on her looks. She comes equipped with
gear her vapid cousin wouldn't even know what to do with (including a computer,
drafting tools, and even a building-code book), ensuring that the Modernist
dream house she designs for herself will be code compliant--and most likely
not pink.
