A while back, Navio passed along a link to a story about a woman who has turned herself into a real-life Barbie doll (for real, real). She's gone through extensive plastic surgery to achieve her look. I posted the story on the blog with some photos and a clip of her singing (she's an aspiring musician, too). Click here to see the post. Navio sent me a recent update (thanks!). The real-life Barbie doll met up with a real-life anime girl to do a joint photo shoot.
From Rocket News 24:
Ukraine’s Anime Girl and Real Barbie Meet Face to Eerie Face!
Two girls from the Ukraine have made a splash around the world with their unusual aesthetic choices.
First we have newcomer, 19 year-old Anastasiya Shpagina, who’s industrial strength make-up job transforms her into three dimensional warm blooded anime girl. In the other corner we have 21 year-old Valeria Lukyanova, who surprised the world with her appearance of a “Real Barbie Doll” which is rumored to be the result of extensive plastic surgery.
And now for the first time these two titans of body modification collide for a photo shoot of epic disproportions.
What’s really weird about these pictures is that these two women seem to complement each other really well. By that I mean Real Barbie seems to look even more like a Barbie doll next to Anime Girl, and Shpagnia also looks especially animated next to Lukyanova.
Any rivalry you might’ve expected these two girls to have never came to be. Actually in several of the photos you can see them exchanging make-up and fashion techniques, dressing up like each other surprisingly well – in a creepy kind of way.
