Meet the real-life Barbies: Internet craze sees teenagers turn themselves into freakish

Young girls are fast becoming internet sensations not because of their vocal skills or dance moves, but because they resemble living dolls.

Staring doe-eyed at the camera, with cupids bow lips and a porcelain complexion Dakota Rose has been hailed a real-life Barbie.

Known to her fans as Kota Koti, she has amassed a global audience with her YouTube fashion and beauty tutorials.

In most of the videos she remains silent while subtitles provide the viewer with a step-by-step guide on how to apply cosmetics, style hair or dress fashionably.

Why am I reminded of "Village of the Damned"?

Internet craze sees teenagers turn themselves into freakish living dolls

it's just truth in advertising: their outward appearance catching up to their "freakish living doll" souls.

[tgusa]

Just creepy.

[rarestia]

Some commentators have suggested the doll-like girls could encourage the sexualisation of children

Sorry, folks, but this IS the next step. We already see a wholesale attempt to rationalize the death of foetii. Why wouldn't we subject tweens to abortion in the event they're raped by some "adoring fan?"

This makes me sick. We are individuals by our lack of similarity. I love my fiancee for what makes her different from everyone else. This freakish attempt at similarity is disheartening and sad.

Not Barbie, nor Village; Sailor Moon.

Cosplay has been around decades. The media is just now discovering this?

[NoLibZone]

Ever see the Harajuku girls that congregate in the little area at the entrance to the Meiji shrine in TK ?

[GOP Poet]

I think she is an entrepreneurial young lady.

[fieldmarshaldj]

The brunette was cute. The blonde is creepy to the max.

[goseminoles]

The blonde has no facial features and an egg face.

[cripplecreek]

Plenty of creepiness afoot these days. Check out the “Bronies”. Adult males who are into my little pony.

[ml/nj]

Not sure what The Midwitch Cuckoos has to do with this. These people are voluntarily screwed up.

ML/NJ

[fieldmarshaldj]

Didn’t they cover that in “Equus” ?

[Lizavetta]

Self-absorption to the extreme.

So attractive ...

[Cboldt]

Stepford wives.

[GraceG]

They are all Commies in Pony-ville...

[fieldmarshaldj]

Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

[MaxMax]

The comments are hilarious on the source.

[heartwood]

Both my girls love My Little Pony, the 10 and the 20 year old. I couldn’t believe it when the older told me there are such things as Bronies. Thank God her boyfriend is not, and she’s not allowed to tell his friends he watched an episode with her either.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Hey, hey, hey! I’M supposed to say that and then get all of the heat from the UKers that can’t stand me when I do say it. Yer stealin’ my thunder, man! LOL!

Where would the West be if the UK wasn’t headed first down the drain of civilizational suicide?

I think what would be funny is to create a magazine that compile stories like this in it that show the leading trends in the UK of where the West is going culturally, economically, politically, religiously, and socially so when it happens in their Western country the news won’t hit them so hard.

The mag just needs a catchy title.

[a fool in paradise]

She should've been in the Thunderbirds movie.

[Jack Hydrazine]

I have the perfect title for the magazine idea...

“Devolution Illustrated.”

[Secret Agent Man]

In that pose and outfit the Japanese will think she’s a sex doll.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Another idea for a title...

“Debasement Today.”

[Slings and Arrows]

"KAWAII!!!"

[null and void]

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Never thought I would ever see anything that made a Furry (or is it Fuzzy?) look normal.

[Slings and Arrows]

Looks pretty normal for San Francisco.

[ottbmare]

When I was 13 or so, I had a girlfriend who looked just like that—the light ash-brown bangs, big eyes, short upper lip, full lips. It was natural; she didn’t have to use makeup or Photoshop to achieve the look. Quite a pretty girl in an innocent, healthy way, but so many people complimented her that she became appallingly vain.

Notice that none of these photos shows the girls in revealing outfits. For that, at least, we can be grateful.

[Bellflower]

She looks like a child with makeup on. Where is her mama?

[cartan]

Ok. Please take a good look at feminist icon Andrea Dworkin:

Now compare with this cute girl:

I fail to see any problem with this. In fact, I hope it becomes a world wide trend…

[Little Ray]

Dunno. She looks like she needs a couple of cheese burgers.
That said, I need some eyewash for “all heterosexual sex is rape” Dworkin.

[who knows what evil?]

Dworkin? There goes a good breakfast...

[L,TOWM]

>>>>>>she’s not allowed to tell his friends he watched an episode with her either<<<<<<

Ahh, a closeted bronie.

[heartwood]

Nah, she made him, and he’s not doing it again.

[camle]

april fool day coming up.... just sayin’

[camle]

april fool day coming up.... just sayin’

[L,TOWM]

Yeah, that’s a good story to stick to.

“uhhh, yeah, my girlfriend made we watch it, that’s the ticket...”

:-)

[metmom]

You’re right.

I never saw the movie but did read the book many years ago.

Is the movie as creepy? It looks it.

[Nachum]

I haven’t seen the movie in years, but I did see it as a kid. It gave me chills. Those kids were just creepy!
