The utter creepiness of this is unbearable

Real-Life People Who Have Become Dolls


#1 Venus Isabelle Palermo AKA VenusAngelic
Although she's British, teenage Venus lived in Japan for two years, which inspired her animae character look and fashion. Like Dakota Rose, she's become popular due to her YouTube make-up tutorials and blog. Her voice and accent is unique and she's as fascinating in her videos as she is in pictures. She claims her accent is made up of five languages..Wow! Or perhaps, is it constructed too?


#2 Wang Jiayun: China
Wang Jiayun may look like a blow-up doll, but she's a famous high school student amongst Korean internet followers. Since going viral in 2011, her name is in the top searches on Korean portal websites. Although Wang wears colored contacts and has that vacant look in her eyes that many human doll look-alikes have, she is naturally cute. What's unexplainable is a fascination of looking artificial and others being attracted to it.


#3 Anastasiya Shpagina: Ukraine
The news has featured stories about girls in Odessa that are altering their bodies to look like human dolls. The trend is catching on around the world and some call it the "Barbie Flu". Anastasiya though favors transforming herself into an anime character and "never leaves the house without makeup." She's a makeup and hair artist so it's probably not too much of a stretch for her to create this unreal look!

Emo or any hundred of different styles and fashions. Some of them do look creepy though in a doctor who episode way.

On edit, first one creeps me a bit, second one does not, i think the third one has done an amazing artisitc workover.

As long as they're not doing major harm it's a trend as old as wearing your skins differently. Life is long, and the road has lots of side paths!

Also, I'm really fascinated by the fact that two dimensional things look so different from three dimensional and they're trying to bridge that gap. "Kids these days" have lived a lot of their lives relating to two dimensional characters.

On edit: The ones who have had plastic surgery have taken it a long way, for certain, but I still wouldn't necessarily call it a psych problem unless there's a compulsion there that they can't satisfy, a la Michael Jackson.

5. If it makes them truly happy, I'm happy for them. I like a lot more weight on my "dolls".
