Here's this summer's collection:

New from MATTEL:

Sister Mary Barbie: This spiritual Barbie comes with jointed knees and 
neck for genuflecting and praying, mini rosary beads, a mini Bible and 
a black sequined nun's habit (after all, she's still Barbie). Pull the 
string on her back and she says nothing because she has taken a vow of 
silence.

Rabbi Barbie: So, why not? Women rabbis are on the cutting edge in 
Judaism.  Rabbi Barbie comes with tiny satin yarmulke, prayer shawl, 
teffilin, silver Kaddish cup, Torah scrolls. Optional: tiny mezuzah 
for doorway of Barbie Townhouse.

Admin Barbie: Works twenty hour days for little pay (80% of Admin 
Ken's salary), and is the lowest on the totem pole despite being the 
one that actually runs the group. Comes with mini laptop.  Pull the 
string on her back and she'll schedule a meeting with your other 
dolls, replace the toner cartridge in the laser printer, coordinate a 
re-org and a move, and order airline tickets for Admin Ken.

Temp Barbie: This smartly dressed, intelligent, hardworking and 
enthusiastic Barbie is ready to go right out of the box, but usually 
goes untouched for at least a day while everyone tries to figure out 
why they bought her. Pull the string on her back and she'll stuff 
envelopes indefinitely, all the while wondering why she got a liberal 
arts degree.  Comes with mini r,sum, and mini filing cabinet filled 
with the past five years' worth of US Tax Code revisions which need to 
be collated.

Ripped-Off-In-The-Divorce-Settlement Barbie: Pull the string on her 
back and she unloads a torrent of insults and death threats for her 
ex's new wife.  Comes with a hatred for all men, and a Malibu Barbie 
tan (except for a white band on the ring finger of her left hand). 

Twelve-Step Barbie: Pull the string on her back and she says, "Hi, I'm 
Barbie and I'm an alcoholic." comes with a "One Day at a Time" bumper 
sticker, a 30-day chip and a pack of smokes.

Birkenstock Barbie: Finally, a Barbie doll with horizontal feet and 
comfortable, if ugly, sandals.  Made from recycled materials. 

Bite-The-Bullet Barbie: An anthropologist Barbie with pith helmet, 
camera, detachable limbs, fake blood and the ability to perform 
surgery on herself in the Outback.

Blue Collar Barbie: Comes with overalls, protective goggles, lunch 
pail, UAW membership, pamphlet on union-organizing and pay scales for 
women as compared to men. Waitressing outfits and cashier's aprons may 
be purchased separately for Barbies who are holding down second jobs 
in order to make ends meet.

Homegirl Barbie: Truly a fly Barbie in midriff-baring shirt and baggy 
jeans. Comes with gold jewelry, hip-hop accessories and plenty of 
attitude.  Pull cord and says things like "I don't think so," "Dang, 
get outta my face," and "You go, girl." Teaches girls not to take crap 
from men.

Transgender Barbie: Formerly known as G.I. Joe.

Robotic Barbie: Hey, kids, experiment with an autonomous two-legged 
walking machine!  After falling over she says "Control theory is 
hard.  Damn these spike heels anyway!"

Dinner Roll Barbie: A Barbie with multiple love handles, double chin, 
a real curvy belly, and voluminous thighs to show girls that 
voluptuousness is also beautiful. Comes with a miniature basket of 
dinner rolls, bucket o' fried chicken, tiny Entenmann's walnut ring, a 
brick of Dreyer's ice cream, three bags of potato chips, a T-shirt 
reading "Only the Weak Don't Eat", and, of course, an appetite.

Mobile Home Park Barbie: Comes complete with hair in rollers and 
pregnant. Accessories include two toddlers.  When you pull the string 
on her back she asks where her gov't support check is. Some Mobile 
Home Barbies come with surprise Ken or G.I. Joe since they often give 
her surprise visits when they come into town.
