Model who looks like Barbie doll published in 'V' magazine

A Ukranian model by the name of Valeria Lukyonova, 21, is getting worldwide attention on Tuesday after photos of her looking just like Mattel's infamous Barbie doll were published in V magazine on Nov. 13, 2012.
Dressed in clothes like a Barbie doll Lukyonova posed for the magazine's "Girl Power" issue looking almost like an illusion with her cosmetically enhanced figure giving her a tiny waist and lots of time in a makeup chair to achieve the glassy wide-eyed look of Barbie and to achieve flawless skin just like a Barbie doll has.
"Many people say bad things about people who want to perfect themselves," Lukyonova said in an interview for V magazine. "Its hard work, but they dismiss it as something done by surgeons or computer artists. This is how they justify not wanting to strive for self-improvement. It's how they explain their continued inaction. It's just an excuse. There are plenty of video clips on the internet showing what I really look like. Some people even spread rumours about me and retouch my pictures to hurt me, but i don't take them seriously. I'm even flattered! It's what success is like. I'm happy I seem unreal to them, it means I'm doing a good job."
It was just last April, 2012, when another model from the Ukraine by the name of Anastasiya Shpagina, 19, made headlines around the world when she portrayed a flower fairy just like those in Japanese anime cartoons.

While some people are skeptical of these two women's porcelain looks wondering if its not just an Internet Photoshop creation, V magazine wrote Lukyonova's images were shot by lauded fashion photographer Sebastian Faena whose work is often premiered on models.com.
