Valeria Lukyanova, a young woman and attractive woman from Ukraine, is in news for wrong reasons. 

Have you heard of the beautiful looking Valeria Lukyanova, a Russian as the name suggests ! Sure you know and most likely adore the beautiful doll which is even criticized as promoting an unrealistic idea of body image for  young women, leading to a risk that girls who attempt to emulate her becoming anorexic.  There is this ‘…….’ Syndrome ~ the desire to have a physical appearance and lifestyle representative of the doll. It is most often associated with pre-teen and adolescent females but is applicable to any age group.  No prize for guessing – it is the famous ‘Barbie doll’. Barbie is a fashion doll manufactured by the American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959. American businesswoman Ruth Handler is credited with the creation of the doll using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration. Barbie is the figurehead of a brand of Mattel dolls and accessories, including other family members and collectible dolls. Barbie has been an important part of the toy fashion doll market for fifty years, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving parody of the doll and her lifestyle.

Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. In a series of novels published by Random House in the 1960s, her parents' names are given as George and Margaret Roberts from the fictional town of Willows, Wisconsin. Barbie has had over 40 pets including cats and dogs, horses, a panda, a lion cub, and a zebra. She has owned a wide range of vehicles, including pink Corvette convertibles, trailers, and jeeps. She also holds a pilot's license, and operates commercial airliners in addition to serving as a flight attendant.

Daily Mail reports that the human Barbie was punched and strangled by two men outside her home after 'two-year hate campaign by strangers'.  The beautiful looking Valeria Lukyanova claims she was attacked outside her home in Odessa.  The 28-year-old model had always  denied claims she was covering for plastic surgery and said that she had had only  breast enlargement surgery to feel 'normal' 

The model was hospitalised following the attack when two men jumped out at her as she returned home.  She was punched her in the head and several times on the jaw before attempting to strangle her.   In Odessa, she is nursing wounds to her swollen lips and head, while denying internet rumours that she was masking new plastic surgery. She said: 'I was attacked by the entrance of my block of flats.' 'I came back home from a shop with bags and entered the door code when two men rushed from the dark and attacked me.

It is reported that the assailants did not try to rob – it happened in a flash, she was hit on head, several times on jaw as one of the assailants tried strangling her.  The attack occurred on Halloween night and she was hospitalised. Lukyanova recently said she wanted to alter her look from Ukrainian Barbie to Amazon Woman.  She said she admired the all-female warriors from Greek mythology. 'She had a beautiful and warlike figure, the body of an Amazon. She also revealed an ambition to star in a movie with British star Callum Blue.

Whatever be her looks and ambitions, the attack is barbaric and condemnable
