Valeria Lukyanova: The Human Barbie
Valeria Lukyanova, better known as Human Barbie, might seem like a figment of Photoshop imagination.
She first made headlines in 2012 for her living doll appearance, waist-length blond hair and wide eyes. She calls herself Amatue in her YouTube profile, which focus on transcendental thought and self-help.
Valeria has been popping up on the Internet for a couple years now, mostly due to her shocking appearance. With massive eyes, an impossibly small waist, bleach blonde hair and plastic-looking skin, the “model” has quickly become known for her Barbie-esque appearance. But, make no mistakes about it, Valeria prefers to be called “Amatue,” not Barbie.
An interviewer from GQ magazine Michael Idov met Lukyanova in Odessa, where she consumed nothing but carrot juice with chutney. It wasn’t long before she dropped a bombshell, claiming that standards of beauty have changed "because of the race-mixing."
"For example, a Russian marries an Armenian," Lukyanova told GQ. "They have a kid, a cute girl, but she has her dad's nose. She goes and files it down a little, and it's all good.Her idea is that due to the mixture of ethinicities 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."
The interview even touched on Lukyanova's disinterest in having a family.
"It's unacceptable to me. The very idea of having children brings out this deep revulsion in me. Most people have children to fulfill their own ambitions, not to give anything," she says, adding later, "I'd rather die from torture because the worst thing in the world is to have a family lifestyle[/i]."
The interview continues, and Lukyanova talks about her upbringing in Moldova, a relatively poor country in Europe. Her transformation into the woman she is today or, rather, the character that she plays, began a long time ago, it seems. First she was goth, then an amateur model, and then came the super wealthy boyfriend phase. And voila. Somewhere in there, plastic surgery and doll eye makeup combined to create whoever or whatever Valeria is today.
