Is it just me, but does this Barbie Doll set have very inappropriate sexual undertones?
I came across this doll in a local Toys R’ US. Normally Idon’t have a big issue with Barbie dolls that are dressed like hookers, although do I think that Barbies create an unrealistic body image ideal for impressionable young girls, but that’s another whole post. This one, however I find exceeding creepy with a predatory wolf eyeing up a hooker-ish Little Red Riding Hood. I’m just saying, none of the childrens’ books that I ever read depicted Little Red Riding Hood as wearing fish-net thigh highs and spiked heels. The whole box just kinda screams ” Totally Illegal Jail Bait Barbie & Sexual Predator Ken/Wolf”, you know?
Oh look. You can buy it online too… Oh. And it’s recommended for ages 6 and up. Something about that is just VERY not right. Is it just me?

LOL. Ohmigod, your blog post is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week! Right on the money. Of course, a number of years ago, you would have been complaining about not getting it for Christmas!
Hey, I wasn’t saying that I didn’t like her outfit or the doll.. Just that it is super inappropriate for its target audience. Speaking of which, I need to add this to my Amazon wishlist….
