Mattel Inc. announced that, after 43 years of dating, its plastic everygirl and Ken had agreed to be just good friends. This from a woman with more than 80 jobs on her resume--everything from dentistry to paleontology. Is it ambition or confusion? Midlife crisis or occupational ADD? We asked experts to offer Barbie some much-needed guidance.
President, Institute for Women's Leadership
"Barbie is ready to just follow her heart, follow her passion, forget what other people think about her. She may even gain a little weight."
Author, What Should I Do With My Life?
"She's probably got money in the bank. If she doesn't jump right back into the workforce, that's okay--she deserves a few years off."
Author, Now What?: 90 Days to a New Life Direction
"She needs to leave Malibu and let her roots grow in. Then go to the middle of the country, to an ashram, to find herself."
National Sales Director, Mary Kay Inc.
"Barbie should go into business for herself. Maybe try Mary Kay. She'd love that pink Cadillac, and heaven knows, she loves makeup."

We were talking about this in the office and I posted a blog on a similar subject, "Free Barbe." Did you ever hear from Mattel?
