Now we’ve talked about all manner of nefarious deeds the plastic Barbie has committed, but today we’re bringing you something even a little more shocking. Hot off the Odessa Barbie production line in Ukraine is Alina Kovaleskaya. The 20-year-old became widely talked about in her hometown after uploading photographs of her doll-like appearance across the web.
It should be noted she’s not the first, in fact she’s the 3rd. Bizarrely Valeria Lukyanova and Anastasiya Shpagina are two other Barbie look-a-likes, also from the same Ukrainian town, so you can see where the inspiration came from in “I need to pack on the make-up to look like a plastic toy” department.
You have to ask though, exactly how much of her appearance is down to hours of make-up and layers of foundation or has there been a dash of cheeky photo manipulation going on? A mix of both we’d imagine. But whether her appearance is physically or digitally altered, it’s certainly a look designed to get attention and create shock & awe. To that extent she’s a genuine success.
The real question remains though, if she’s Barbie, should we worry about a dedicated Ukrainian man transforming himself into Ken?
Don’t bet against it.
