Scary, and Not in a “Good” Way
By GlindaThis is Mattel’s immortalization of Twilight’s Jacob Black. You know, Werewolf Barbie.
It makes me uncomfortable in ways I have difficulty expressing.
Is it the fact that this is supposed to be targeted to tweens?
Is it the fact that the actor who plays Jacob Black is still a minor, yet is obviously being portrayed as a sex symbol with that eight-pack?
Or is it just that those cutoff jean shorts are so very dorky? Or that he is wearing sneakers with no socks?
Some help here?

It’s definitely the cutoffs, and the fact that the doll is totally smooth underneath. At least that’s what I find so troubling.
