Edward Cullen and Bella Swan as Barbie dolls

Vampires

I guess it had to happen, and it has: the latest Barbie dolls are Edward Cullen and Bella Swan from Twilight, or should I say Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart.

There's no doubt the young girls will snap up these latest creations from the popular vampire franchise of Stephanie Meyer.

I don't know though, Ken as the vampire boyfriend of Barbie? Somehow that doesn't really fit. But I guess Ken has been all sorts of things through the years, so why not a vampire? At least they made him with the golden eyes and unique skin tone.

As shown in the above photo by Terry Richardson, anything vampire is popular, with a lot of that popularity being generated by the popular Twilight vampire series by Stephanie Meyer, which will have its second installment "New Moon" coming out later this year.

Of course I doubt the Twilight series will include photos and images like this, as it is attempting to be more of a love story, although vampire stories without a little "teeth" would probably be pretty dull (puns intended).

These vampire photos, especially in the case of the rope around the neck definitely push the limit, and show the interpretations of Richardson from quite a different mindset than Stephenie Meyers.
