It's Barbie's world; we're just living in it.

Let's hope not!

A few Ukrainian girls are courting attention with their quest to become "living dolls."
19-year-old Anastasiya Shpagina (who goes by Anime) wakes at 5 am to complete her makeup routine in time for work, reports Forbes. She eats barely anything but honeydew and although she hasn't had any plastic surgery yet, Anime would like to enhance her already saucer-like eyes by going under the knife.

Unsettled yet?

Fellow "dolls" Valeriya Lukyanova (Barbie) and Olga Oleynik (Dominika) admit to breast surgery to complete the look: teensy waists and very long hair included.

I'm no expert when it comes to men, but Ken would not be okay with this.

White, who cut Dunham's chic pixie back in September, drew inspiration for the EW shoot from hair icon Vidal Sassoon, who created Twiggy’s career-making cut. “He basically inspired hair dressers to start lightening it up, loosening those edges up.”

New York based makeup artist Brigitte Reiss-Andersen complemented the hair with strong, geometric makeup, saying, “In the ‘60s, they weren’t afraid to accentuate what we might now consider a problem, to exaggerate droopy eyes, for example, they would go for it and make them droopier. I gave Lena a droopy shape and that’s what gives the look drama.”

After shocking reports about Nicolas Ghesquière leaving the brand Balenciaga finally named the successor for position of a creative director. Fashion designer Alexander Wang who owns an eponymous fashion label will take on the position, the press release confirmed. After long weeks of speculation and rumor Balenciaga reports:

"The Balenciaga fashion house and its staff are proud to welcome Alexander Wang, whose proven talent, modernity and individual and cosmopolitan vision of design will naturally embrace and enrich the unique heritage of this fashion house which will soon be one hundred years old."

The designer will be designing women’s and men’s ready-to-wear as well as accessories collections. He will also start working on women’s Fall/Winter 2013 collection immediately.

Seen jumping through a badly made up tinfoil frame, Freha poses nude (albeit covered in enough metallic paint to rival a car factory) for more Maybelline madness, showing off some very heavily applied makeup in a close-up shot. Well, there's always the sweet smell of money to make up for the turpentine bath she probably had to take to get it all off.

Kate Moss gets up close for a simple head shot cover which is featured on the December 2012 issue of Vogue Spain. Photographed by close friend and photographer Mario Testino, Kate is a beauty with a dramatic black veil over her face as she poses with dark makeup and swept back hair.
