The Untold Story Of The Real-Life Barbie

The toy company Mattel, Inc. is known to produce dolls with feminine figures, emphasizing their curves and setting what many view as unrealistic standards regarding the physical appearance of the ultimate woman. This is the story of the real-life Barbie: a woman who stopped at nothing look and feel like her infinite idol.

Valeria Lukyanova is a strong minded woman - one who will not let anything or anyone stand in the way of achieving her goals. But in Valeria's case, acting with caution would have been wiser.

Born in Moldovian SSR in 1985, Valeria did not have an easy start at life. Living in a region that was formerly a part of the Soviet Union, Valeria was seeking some peace and quiet, which is why she decided to move to Odessa, Ukraine at the young age of 32. By the time 2014 rolled around, the war peaked between neighboring Russia and the Ukraine - and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Valeria has had enough of the terror, packed up her things and moved to Mexico.

When examining people who seemed to have slightly deviated from the norm, it is common to reference their past in search of whatever it was that caused them to be who they are today. But Valeria had a very average childhood in Russia - her father Valery was a builder, her mother Irina was employed by the army, both parents were always around to educate and spend time with their daughter. Considering everything seemed legit, something did not add up.

Valeria was named after her father, Valery. In addition to being employed as a builder, Valery also worked part time as a DJ. Truthfully, Valery had a strong passion for music ever since he could remember himself, but gigs did not pay enough for him to financially support his entire family. Bills were mounting up, so Valeria's father started working as a builder. Because of this, Valeria swore to herself that she would never settle for being an average person with a boring job.
