Streetwalker Barbie

Cosplay is much like Halloween, except for adults, with people dressing up as their favorite characters from either books, comics or movies. So when Barbie was made into Black Canary, which is actually a DC character, many groups didn’t relate her to that role. In fact, she was given much more colorful titles like “S&M Barbie” and “Hooker Barbie,” which given her fishnet stockings, boots and exceedingly lack of clothing, its easy to understand why. And even if she came with a “14 years and up” warning, most parents still couldn’t condone allowing their teen to want a doll which would encourage them to dress up like a streetwalker.
