Who would you like to look like? I once joked to a friend of mine that I would like to look like a BRATZ doll, but while you and I joke about what and who we would like to look like, some people take it SERIOUSLY.

I came across this post on Yahoo News and could not believe it, getting cosmetic surgery to look like Barbie?? and apparently there are a group of beauty lovers obsessed with looking like dolls, so much so that there is a beauty look known as “Living Doll beauty”.

Even so, Lukyanova’s story stands out.
