Valeria Lukyanova

Others were kinder to the blonde beauty. One asked: ‘Isn't unhealthy obsession on looking like a Barbie doll a part of her identity though?’ But the big question remains unanswered: Is Valeria real or is this an elaborate Photoshop hoax? More ‘normal’ photos on her Facebook page of the 21-year-old wearing far less make-up suggest she does exists. A YouTube video shows the transformation as she dolls herself up.
Valeria has 155 subscribers following her profile on the social networking website – double the number of friends she has at 78. One fan, a man named Firtina Seymen has ‘liked’ virtually all of her photos and written ‘beautiful’ underneath them. Photos have also been posted on her blog, on which she writes about making music and meditation. She is seeking out followers in France and elsewhere in Europe.
