Barbie The Photographer

I was strolling through Target the other day, and I stumbled upon “Barbie i can be…a baby photographer” play set, both in caucasian and African-American versions.

I thought it funny, at first, then I thought that I hoped that Anne Geddes was getting a piece of this, then I realized that Mattel probably wasn’t being that magnanimous.

If you’re looking for a gag-gift for that female photographer friend of yours, or if you’re looking to inspire your daughter to become a photographer, (mine are playing with these, as I type, since the shoot is over), this is a great idea! Who’da thunk it?
