She's glamorous and sparkly with her long blond hair, side-swept bangs, pale pink short skirt and Chanel-style fitted jacket. And those accessories! Black ankle-strap platform pumps with pink bows, shiny black microphone, news folder and camera.

Meet Journalism Barbie! The latest career from Mattel's Barbie I Can Be... line that lets America's favorite doll try out new gigs.

The career we want to see next? Blogger Barbie. Only, instead of the power suit, she wears yoga pants, an oversized T-shirt, Ugg slippers and a messy ponytail. But her laptop is definitely pink.
