The human Barbie Doll girl, Valeria Lukyanova, is back in the news and she’s looking more like the Barbie Doll than ever before. Valeria accentuates this doll look with make-up and a hair style to make her look manufactured out of plastic. According to Too Fab on Friday, Nov. 9, 2012, the Barbie Doll girl sat down for an interview and did a photo shoot in NYC recently.
Valeria completely denies that her looks are from any artificial source, she also added:
"Many people say bad things about people who want to perfect themselves. It’s hard work, but they dismiss it as something done by surgeons or computer artists. Some people even spread rumors about me and retouch my pictures to hurt me. But I don’t take them seriously. I’m even flattered! It’s what success is like. I’m happy I seem unreal to them, it means I’m doing a good job."
There you have it; the woman strives to look unreal! Valeria has become so popular that even ABC News did a special on her this summer. Everyone wanted to know if she is for real or a product of today's photography techniques. Even V Magazine flew her to New York for the interview and recent photo shoot to find out.
According to Too Fab, the photo shoot seemed to confirm that her unnatural figure and doll looks aren’t the product of Photoshop. It is all her and nothing is done after her picture is taken to make her look like the doll she is striving to be!
