Real Life Barbie girl


Valeria Lukyanova is a Barbie girl, living in a Barbie world - but does she really exist?

A satirical animated video making the rounds this week purports to show how the 21-year-old Ukranian model went from a striking blond to full-fledged Barbie through a series of transformative plastic surgeries.
The video, posted on Jezebel.com on Sunday, says Lukyanova claims to be the "most famous woman on the Russian language internet,” and is also interested in making music and "astroplaning.”

Animated by Taiwanese production company Next Media Animation, the company behind viral spoofs of many other news events, the video is set to Aqua's famous "Barbie Girl" song and shows a cartoon version of Lukyanova lying on an operating table and undergoing dramatic surgery, complete with sound effects including sawing noises.


 The video intercuts the animation with photos of Lukyanova, asking viewers whether they find her too “artificial” to be attractive.
Despite some critics’ doubts over her authenticity, many Facebook profiles exist in Lukyanova's name, dating back almost a year.

Valeria Lukyanova/via Facebook Lukyanova has posted countless pictures of herself online to show off her Barbie-esque body.
A Tumblr page in her name also features pages of pictures of the Ukranian waif, as does a website she seems to use professionally.

While many of Lukyanova's pictures do appear to be photographs of a real person, her body and facial features are so surreal in other shots that it seems her appearance could not have been achieved without surgical enhancement - or a heavy dose of Photoshop. unsecured loans

Lukyanova's big blue eyes are cartoonishly childlike, her eyebrows are pencil-thin and unnaturally high, her skin has a flawless plastic sheen, and she boasts long, silky blond Barbie hair.
Her body also mimics the proportions of the children’s doll, from her huge chest to her tiny waist, bright make-up and vacant stare. bad credit loans
The real-life Barbie hasn’t addressed the video, but if her online persona is to be believed, she is seemingly busy living by the words of her theme song: “Life in plastic, it’s fantastic.”
