Valeria Lukyanova has been an Internet celebrity since last year but now the "Real Life Barbie" is starring in a new documentary all about her other talent of out-of-body traveling.
Ukrainian model Lukyanova has turned herself into a walking doll thanks to a breast enlargement, nose job, and a rumored surgery that
removed a couple of ribs to help her achieve an 18-inch waist.
"I like this comparison, it's wonderful to look like a doll,"
she told arts and culture magazine Vice. "Even though people call me a Barbie, I never tried to look like a doll, I just like everything beautiful feminine, and refined. It just so happens that dolls are based on the image of refined girls."

Vice's new documentary on Lukyanova, "Space Barbie," explores her life as a spiritual guru.
"What most of the world doesn't know is that Valeria is not a real girl at all, but a time-traveling spiritual guru whose purpose is to save the world from the clutches of superficiality and negative energy," Vice says in a promo for the film. "Valeria, AKA Space Barbie, gives us exclusive access to her world to show us how physical perfection truly is the best medium through which to deliver life-changing philosophy to the human race."
Lukyanova, 23, says she uses her appearance to help promote her spiritual ideas.
"I am a lecturer on the subject of out-of-body travel," she said. "If a nun starts talking about spirituality, will anyone notice her? No, No one will. But if a beautiful, inspiring young woman starts talking about it, many people will start thinking. It works perfectly."
