I spent $50K to look like Barbie — but now men treat me like a toy
Life isn’t so fantastic for this Barbie lookalike.
A Wisconsin woman, who has spent $50,000 on cosmetic procedures, claims she can’t find a partner because men only see her as a “toy.”
Mz. Dani, an influencer and model, hasn’t cashed in on her plastic looks just yet, saying men just objectify her.
“My dating life is extremely hard,” she told Jam Press. “Men look at me as a toy.”
In fact, the surgeries she’s had — Botox and fillers in the hopes of making her face more symmetrical — might have just made things more difficult.
“They see my outer appearance before they get to know me and that’s really what they want from me initially,” the Barbie-esque bombshell admitted. “It’s very rare that a man wants to get to know me for who I am.”
While she’s garnered more than 600,000 followers on Instagram since her glam transformation, she hasn’t seen any payout in the form of real-life suitors — just virtual ones.
Followers shower her with praise and compliments online, calling her “beautiful,” “out of this world” and “absolutely stunning.” But, despite being compared to the iconic doll due to her blonde hair and envious figure, she doesn’t label herself as a true lookalike — although she agrees that Barbie is “beautiful.”
“I think Barbie is beautiful,” Mz. Dani said of the doll. “She is the perfect look that everybody wants to be — long slim legs, small waist, bubble butt, big boobs and slim arms.”
According to her, “proportion and perfect symmetry” equals beauty.
“Barbie is the ultimate queen that all young girls strive to look like,” she added. “We play with her as a kid and think we should be perfect like her.”
Mz. Dani hopes that perhaps one day, Mattel, the maker of Barbie, will produce a voluptuous doll that resembles her — curves and all.
“I would love if the Barbie manufacturer made a doll of me,” she exclaimed in a bid to create a more inclusive toy.
“I think making dolls curvier would give a more realistic idea that woman come in all shapes and sizes,” she added. “It also would help young girls feel more comfortable being who they are from a young age. I’d love to be a representation for that!”
As Barbiecore gains traction, more people online are trying to mold themselves to look like the Mattel doll, although they claim they’re more than just a pretty face. From cosmetic procedures to interior design, everyone’s got the hots for bright pink.
Even Mattel is basking in the neon limelight that “Barbie would approve” of.
“Barbiecore is the summer’s latest fashion trend influencing everything from clothing to home decor, and we are here for it,” Kim Culmone, senior vice president and global head of design Barbie and fashion dolls at Mattel, previously told The Post. “Fashion is a form of self-expression and Barbiecore celebrates living boldly and authentically.”
