Ukrainian Internet sensation Valeria Lukianova captured global attention when she was declared a real life Barbie doll, earlier this year.
The hype around the young woman cooled off after the initial burst of interest. However, a recent photo shoot, in lingerie, for V Magazine, has reignited interest in the 21 year old model.
Lukyanova has drawn praise and criticism in equal measures, for having reportedly taken the help of cosmetic surgery to alter her physical appearance. A number of people insist this real life Barbie doll practices an unhealthy obsession with her looks and psychologists comment Lukyanova lives in a fantasy world because she finds being her “authentic self” uninspiring.
