The "Human Barbie" Is Shedding Her Doll-Like Image For Something More Powerful

It can be hard to find out where you want to be in life. For most of us, the world seems so large, with so many passions and lifestyles to choose from. So it’s difficult to focus on only a few avenues to fully explore. 

Even if you grow up with a clear idea of what you want to be, the world doesn’t always work out that way. Sure, it’s common to never quite get where you want to end up, but it’s not uncommon to find it unsatisfying when you do make it. What seemed so wonderful when you were working towards it doesn’t seem like such a good fit up close. So you keep trying new things until something comes along that just feels right.

With any luck, 30-year-old Valeria Lukyanova may have finally found what works for her. If so, that discovery came after a long and extreme period of searching.

Let’s see how she made out.

COMMENT and let us know what you’re working towards. 

1. Lukyanova first made her name as a model.

Yet since the age of five, there was just one figure she wanted to be like. 

2. And that figure was Barbie.

So in adulthood, she reinvented herself to become more doll-like.

3. She seemed to succeed as she quickly earned the nickname “Human Barbie.”

Her style change worked so well that many accused her of undergoing plastic surgery.

4. Yet, Lukyanova maintains that’s not how she achieved her look.

She said the only procedure she had was on her breasts and her face only looked doll-like due to skillfully applied makeup and similar cosmetic tricks.
