And You Thought the Japanese Were Weird: from Ukraine, Behold the 'Barbie Doll' Look-

The bizarre craze was started by a (blonde) Ukrainian model in her early 20s named Valeria Lukyanova, when -although already a great-looking gal- she went and got various plastic surgeries in order to appear more like a human Barbie Doll, while starving herself skinny and wearing elaborately-constructed makeup to enlarge the appearance of her eyes, etc. (apparently she already had the legs for it).

For some time Lukyanova was publicizing herself with a like-minded, 19-y.o. friend, (redhead) Anastasiya Shpagina, but since they reportedly had a doll-fight over who-was-getting-how-much-attention on a Japanese TV interview, the two parted ways.

The strange fantasy life seems to have appealed to other young girls in the Ukraine too, as it's now become a bit of a craze there... apparently escapism for those trapped in the bleak former Soviet Union. Yes, this 'human doll' stuff is as odd -or worse- than Japanese crazes, and of course Valerie Lukyanova is hugely popular over there as well; fits-right-in with their 'cute' addiction, and they always go nuts over blondes. 

Heck, it's even caught on in Mexico now... I guess they've got nothing better to do than get up at 5am to start putting on makeup everyday, either:

The blonde's not half-bad in a bikini, 

but overall hese two give me the creeps, man

They look like something out of the “Village of the Damned.”

Ummmm...I’m willing to check that out. AND, like a good scientist, I’ll attempt to confirm repeatability.

I’d go for the one in the middle. First, I prefer brunettes; second, one who leaves her hair its natural color shows character, or something like that.

Finally, at my current age these pictures make me wonder “Where were all these gorgeous Ukrainian babes when I needed them!!!?”

(Add that to the list of the evils of communism.)

They don’t look human, imho. I’m also not a fan of heavy makeup.

[ApplegateRanch]

Stepford lives!

Watching that video is very hypnotic.. She’s quite skilled and would be an interesting date. LOL

[Slings and Arrows]

It was just a song, damnit!

I'm originally from the area and most young Ukrainian girls look like that. They also typically “dress up”, have full makeup and heels whenever out in public.

The thing about men is we crave variety. While most Ukrainians are very attractive by US standards, there isn't much variety if you live there. Even the most attractive girl in the world will get boring to look at eventually.

The “doll” look is different and may attract some of the men that have seen it all. Obviously the photos in articles about this are the most extreme “dolls” and look disgusting but I see how some of the more subtle ones can be attractive.

That is Kretchatik St. (sp) in old Kiev. Sitting on a bench under those gorgeous chestnut trees and watching the girls go by is a great way to idle away an afternoon.
