STEP aside Valeria Lukyanova, there’s a new “Human Barbie” in town, and extraordinarily, she’s been raised as a living doll since she was born.
Angelica Kenova, a 26-year-old model from Moscow, Russia, still lives with her hyper-controlling parents, who have been honing her drastic look all her life — dictating her diet and exercise program so she can maintain her miniature frame.
“Growing up, my parents raised me like a princess and never let me go out, date boys or have the usual adult experiences,” Angelica said. “As a result, I am not fit for real life — I’m like a living doll.”
Angelica has been dressed up as a Barbie doll since birth and is only allowed to go on dates if her mother, Natalia, accompanies her.
Yet bizarrely, the diminutive blonde — who claims to be a child psychologist and a ballet dancer as well as a model — regularly poses for half-naked photos, which her parents approve of.
Angelica maintains that her walking-talking doll looks were achieved without plastic surgery and has amassed thousands of fans on social media.
She boasts the same unrealistic body proportions and wide-eyed features as a Barbie, with a tiny 20-inch (50.8 cm) waist and a 32E bra size.
“I have never had plastic surgery,” she insisted. “Cosmetic work is only necessary when an individual has serious faults with their face or body.”
Angelica — who has one older brother, Roman — still lives with her parents and can only date men with their absolute approval — which has so far never happened.
“My mother and father don’t want me to move out of the family home,” she said.
“I’m not even allowed to buy clothes without my mom there — she likes to choose attire that clings to my figure and emphasizes my good features.” (SD-Agencies)
