Ukrainian model Lera — short for Valeria — lives on a liquid-only diet, is married and believes she comes from a distant planet.

Her friend and fellow Barbie lookalike Olga “Dominica” Oleynik explained: “Me and Lera, we come from the constellation of Pleiades. There, such looks are normal.”
 
Lera, who has more than 668,000 “Likes” on her Facebook page and refers to herself as “the most famous Russian woman on the Russian-speaking internet,” added the pair are soulmates from another life.



She said: “When I first saw Dominica, I immediately recognised her from our past lives.”

The daughter of a former DJ and builder dad and a mum who works in the military sector, Lera grew up in Tiraspol, Transnistria — a Russian enclave in Moldova. She has a younger sister, Olga, who is studying in Odessa, where Lera also lives.

From a young age Lera was fascinated by dolls and amassed a collection of more than 50.

Gradually, her fixation with these perfect toy idols rubbed off and she started to model herself on them.

When pictures of Lera first emerged in spring last year, many doubted whether she was real or if the unnatural look was down to clever photo editing.

But she explained her seemingly unattainable proportions come from daily gym visits, starving herself and a boob job. She believes she will rely on “prana”, which in Hindu tradition means life force, to nourish her.

In an interview with a Russian newspaper in October, during which she consumed only a juice of melon and raspberry, she said: “For the last four months I’ve been on a liquid diet and then I plan to drink only water.

“After that I will live only on the prana. For many years I was on a raw food diet, but for deeper spiritual practices I need to improve myself.”

Worryingly, the petite model is fearful of putting on weight despite being a slight 7st. She said: “I am afraid that I am gaining weight.

“Now I’m 45kg (7st), although before I was 42kg (6st 9lbs). With time I will learn to adjust the weight in my mind.”

When asked how many plastic surgery ops she has had, she replied: “Only one — to increase my breasts by two sizes.

“I am very happy, though I now regret I did not increase them more.

“The rest, except the breasts, is natural. I have not even made the eyelashes longer.”
