Human Barbie doll a.k.a. 'racist space alien', blames plastic surgery rise on mixed-race marriages

 
Living doll: Valeria Lukyonova is, we assure you, a real human being

The twisted, plastic world of a Ukranian woman who transformed herself into a human Barbie has been in a startling interview.
GQ writer Michael Idov travelled to Ukraine to meet Valeria Lukyanova, a 28-year-old model who remade herself into a living doll.
But instead of meeting a sweet lady living her childhood dream, he met a plastic surgery fanatic who he describes as a "racist space alien."
Lukyonova admits to using makeup and contact lenses to enhance her bizarre look, and admits to having breast implants.
But she claims her painfully thin figure is a result of diet and exercise - she exists on an entirely liquid diet - and denies having enhanced her waist with surgery.
"Everyone wants a slim figure," Lukyonova told Idov. "Everyone gets breasts done. Everyone fixes up their face if it's not ideal, you know?"
In Idov's eye-opening interview, he delves into the psyche of a woman obsessed with an impossible idea of beauty - and finds a wealth of strangeness beneath the surface.


For starters, Lukyonova blames the increase of plastic surgery on race-mixing.
"For example, a Russian marries an Armenian, they have a kid, a cute girl, but she has her dad’s nose," she said.
"She goes and files it down a little, and it’s all good. Ethnicities are mixing now, so there’s degeneration, and it didn’t used to be like that.
"Remember how many beautiful women there were in the 1950s and 1960s, without any surgery? And now, thanks to degeneration, we have this.
"I love the Nordic image myself. I have white skin; I am a Nordic type - perhaps a little Eastern Baltic, but closer to Nordic."

Interviewer Idov added: "I realise that just like everyone reading about human Barbie I had a simple narrative prepared in my head: A small-town girl grows up obsessed with dolls, etc.
"But instead I get a racist space alien."
