Ukrainian girl fulfills dream of becoming real life Barbie doll
A Ukrainian model who claims to have reached her lifelong dream of being a real-life Barbie doll says she got that way through "hard work for years and good genes."
Since Valeria Lukyanova joined Facebook on April 21 — filling her page with hundreds of photos showing her wide, doll-like eyes, shockingly small waist, long golden locks and, of course, huge breasts — she's garnered more than 92,500 "likes" and sparked dozens of media stories speculating on how much plastic surgery she's had or how much her pictures have been Photoshopped.
On Good Morning America, Dr. Anthony LaBruna, director of Manhattan Plastic Surgery, estimated Lukyanova spent hundreds of thousands to achieve her look, which would have required her to "cut some ribs out."
Dr. Malcolm Roth, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, told ABC News Lukyanova shouldn't be going under the knife so often at such a young age.
"Valeria is only 21, so certain milestones in growth and physical maturity ought to be considered before plastic surgery is performed," he said.
But in a video posted to her YouTube page on Thursday, roughly translated to English by the site IBTimes.com, Lukyanova lashed out at the media, claiming she got her Barbie body by eating raw foods, working hard, abstaining from booze and having "good genes."
Reporters have been repeating rumours of her plastic surgery "like parrots," she said.
