Article: The Real-Life Ukrainian Barbie Doll
Valeria Lukyanovais beautiful. She outta be... She's the epitome of what millions of people around the world have been taught is beautiful.
Whether Lukyanov's beauty if real, Photoshopped, or acquired through plastic surgery, I believe she is really the epitome of modern vanity.
Humans are unique in that we can appreciate beauty. Unfortunately, our concept of beauty is often taught rather than allowed to occur naturally. This means women like Lukyanovacan be considered beautiful while woman like Meg Whitman are considered acceptable at best. Of the two, Whitman is of much greater value to our society in general, but people tend to be drawn to Lukyanov. It's sad.
I would like to see our society embrace beauty in a way that values more than just outward appearance. Productivity, loyalty, sacrifice, generosity, all of these traits have value. Perhaps even more value than a pretty face.
