Ukranian model Valeria Lukyanova, who lives her life as a 'human Barbie' has revealed she doesn't consume food or water anymore.
Some have said she uses plastic surgery and Photoshop to create her doll-like image, but her impossibly thin waist could actually be down to not eating for weeks.
The model, 23, has said she is now converting to 'Breatharianism' - training herself to live off only light and air.
'In recent weeks I have not been hungry at all; I'm hoping it's the final stage before I can subsist on air and light alone,' she has said.
The model and singer's new vice, Breatharianism, is a cult that believes food - and possibly water - are not necessary.
A breatharian is said to be someone who never eats or drinks as they can exist on 'cosmic micro-food', according to the International Business Times.
The practice is criticised as potentially lethal pseudoscience, and several practitioners have reportedly died of starvation. None have submitted themselves for comprehensive medical testing.
With her pinched waist, skeletal arms, enormous coloured contact lenses, thick make-up and vacant expression, Valeria believes she has become a living, breathing Barbie - something she sees as the ultimate embodiment of perfection.

She looks kinda' fat, IMHO.
Back in the 1930’s and 1940’s the German government maintained whole camps where they solicitously administered this health regime to whole groups of people, the most favored of whom were Jews and Gypsies. Some of the best of these were Buchenwald, Dachau, and Ravensbruck.
Under Stalin there were millions of this gal’s fellow Ukrainians who were forced to subsist on light & air and died as a result.
From the 1932 collectivization famine through the end of WWII, IIRC.
That’s why the Ukranians aren’t particularly turned on by Vlad and the Russians.
“Human Barbie” PING
She looks pretty hot. Not gaunt at all like I would have expected. I see no ribcage.
Yes, she has eyes.
"In the daytime I'm Mister Natural, just as healthy as I can be, but at night I'm a junk food junkie, good Lord have pity on me..."
“Oops...Didn’t mean you.”
I know that, I was just ribbing (like the models ribs that will soon be showing) you for being a bit vague
I only clicked here to read the article. Honest.
Looks like she had the rib-ectomy surgery as well.
Pity. What a ruined, twisted up mind this one has. I feel sorry for her any anybody who has to deal with her.
I think she had a couple removed.
That kind of diet can starve your brain of vital nutrients.
Oh. Never mind.
Well, there are the pathetic "I'd hit it" juveniles who frequent Freerepublic.
If you go to the link and look at the first picture, you can see her ribs and pelvis bone sticking out. The posted picture was taken earlier or was airbrushed to make her look better.
We are men.
In some respects we never grow up.
And we like it that way.
This is very, very, sad.
I doubt that this is a publicity stunt. New Age beliefs, if taken to heart, can, and frequently do, result in psychosis.
