She is trying to be plastic after all! Human Barbie Valeria Lukyanova admitted to Cosmopolitan.com that, yes, she Photoshopped those recent jean shorts photos because, well, she had to.
“My best friend [took the pictures]. The pictures are photoshopped to achieve smoothness and color correction,” the Russian viral sensation told the site about her latest “Spring” photos, in which she dons only a bra top and teeny tiny jean shorts to show off her surgically-altered doll physique. “The pictures were taken in the botanical garden on the phone. They were not high quality. I had to edit them in order to correct the defects of the phone picture.”
The snaps, which Lukyanova released via her Facebook page, generated a great amount of backlash from haters who criticized Lukyanova for looking “unnatural” and for having “body dysmorphic disorder” — but Human Barbie doesn’t care, in fact, she doesn’t even read the remarks.
“There may have been some negative comments,” she told Cosmo. “I did not see them. Beautiful people are often envied. That's why negativity does not surprise me. Instead, it touches me.”
Lukyanova, actually, feels for those who don’t aspire to achieve the perfect body like she does.
“Those who are unsatisfied with what I do and critique me and offend me clearly don't have the same figure as I do. Otherwise they would not be so negative,” she explained via email to Cosmo. “People who are satisfied with themselves don't comment on who they don't like. They will pass by. And those who write nasty [things], they are openly jealous. To have an ideal body is important to every self-respecting girl.”
