Real-Life Barbie and Ken Take Changing Image to a New Level, 'It's Fed to Us from A Very Young Age...That is The Epitome of Beautiful' (PHOTOS)

The obsession of having to look perfect has taken on a whole new meaning with people now altering their physical appearances to look like real-life Barbie and Ken dolls.

In the Bible we see in Genesis 1:27 that "God created man in his own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

Now, starting with their very first toy doll, young children are exposed to unrealistic images of female and male bodies. For example the Barbie doll is stated to be 5'9" in height and weigh 110 pounds, which according to medical advisors is about 35 lbs below a healthy weight for a woman of that stature.

Rehabs.com reported four out of five 10-year-olds said that they are afraid of being fat, and 42% of girls in first through third grade wish they were thinner.

Although modeling after Barbie may be many young girls' aspiration, a Ukrainian model took it to a completely different level. Valeria Lukyanova has developed a massive following for her doll-like appearance.

Model Lukyanova became an Internet sensation for her peculiar-doll like appearance. She was dubbed "Real-Life Barbie" for her physical similarities to a Barbie doll, and has a massive YouTube following.

In an interview with thedailybeast.com Lukyanova said, "to me the Barbie doll looks perfect; it was created as a human idol. When I adopted her image, it felt very positive."

For the last four years, "Real-Life Barbie" has been heading seminars on meditation and out-of-body travel. Lukyanova said she does not believe in religion but does believe in aliens. "I know too much about human life and death to believe in any of the existing religions-they just threaten to slow down your spiritual evolution," she told Daily Beast.

Her lack of religious belief is perhaps why she holds her physical appearance above faith. In 1 Timothy 4:8 it states the opposite, "For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."

Though not explained if it is because of her figure, Lukyanova also believes the sanction of having children is strongly not for her.  She told GQ magazine that the idea of having kids is "unacceptable." She explained, "The very idea of children brings out this deep revulsion in me...I'd rather die from torture because the worst thing in the world is to have a family lifestyle."

In another instance, Justin Jedlica, 33, is a male who is famous for undergoing approximately 140 surgical procedures to look like the Ken doll. In recent reports it has been revealed that Jedlica does not exactly take to Lukyanova, but the two surely share the same amount of passion to change their image.

The American born Jedlica reportedly has 12 implants in his torso that impersonate well-formed arm and chest muscles, 15 silicone injections in his buttocks, and 11 in his face.

The Trump Tower resident has said he now limits himself to an annual operation funded by his husband, a "successful" businessman. "I really never thought of myself as being weird. I think of myself as like a visionary, and a pioneer," the native New Yorker told DnaInfo Chicago.

Jedlica makes regular appearances on talk shows and reality TV programs. He is labeled a "junkie" on "My Strange Addiction" to a plastic surgery expert because of his constant desire to change his appearance.

"Children play with Barbie and Ken all the time and so it's fed to us from a very young age that that is the epitome of what is beautiful, or what is handsome," Jedlica stated in a public interview.

Although some are fanatically changing their appearance to modify their natural exterior many others have embraced their God given looks.
