Thus, they went through a process of “dehumanization” through surgeries, so that they lost the natural aspect and embraced the artificial. In this way, they gained notoriety mainly on the internet.
The Human Barbie
Valeria Lukyanova was born in a territory that belonged to the former Soviet Union, but which today is part of Ukraine. According to her, her intention was never to look like a doll, but “feminine and beautiful”. However, over the years and successive aesthetic procedures, the model began to draw attention precisely because she looked like Barbie. There are even those who say that she must have had her ribs removed in order to have a very small waist, but Lukyanova denies this rumor.
In addition, the young woman is a controversial figure who does not like many social groups, since she has already had controversial speeches about miscegenation and feminism. Since, according to the model, miscegenation is destroying natural beauty, and she does not consider herself a feminist.
The Human Ken
Justin Jedlica is an American from upstate New York and also claims he never intended to become the puppet, although he appreciates the praise. However, what draws attention is the fact that he has already undergone hundreds of plastic surgeries, including rhinoplasty, gluteoplasty, lip augmentation and biceps.
Thus, Justin claims that he is looking for his best version and that he does not like to be seen as superficial. Rather, he points out that there is something very profound about the way he chose to live his life and undergo this transformation.
