All Dolled Up a Disturbing New Trend

Anastasiya Shpagina and Valeria Lukyanova

While reading through my Marie Claire June 2013 magazine I found this article that you see below. At first the photo in the article made me feel a bit queasy and then really sad. I couldn’t believe the dolls in the photo were real living women.

This is definitely the dark side of fashion. It makes a corset look like nothing. Why would anyone feel the need to turn themselves into living dolls? What does this generation see as beauty? The human dolls have thousands of followers on their social media pages. They're also getting lots of modeling jobs mostly in Japan.

I've included pictures and links to the stories about each of the girls I have featured. It is a shocking new trend in Eastern Europe but it is also showing up in the US and England.
