Anastasia, 20, and Quentin, 23, are a young French couple who have been together for two years. Beyond love at first sight, they share a common pursuit: transforming themselves into Barbie and Ken lookalikes.Over the years, they've collectively spent £206,000 (approximately ¥2.02 million) on 15 cosmetic surgeries, finally achieving their goal of becoming a Barbie-Ken couple.
Anastasia adored Barbie dolls since childhood and first desired to resemble Barbie at age 15. At 17, she underwent her first rhinoplasty using her parents' money. After starting work, she had two breast augmentations and a second nose job.
Quentin, meanwhile, aspired to become Barbie's boyfriend Ken since middle school, beginning with rhinoplasty and Botox injections at 18.
Currently satisfied with their appearances, the couple motivates each other to improve. They've quit smoking, drinking, and drugs, while strictly managing their diets and exercise routines. They also encourage each other to undergo further cosmetic procedures to refine their looks.
Periodically, they undergo lip fillers, Botox injections, teeth whitening, facial treatments, and anti-aging procedures to maintain their Barbie-couple appearance.
After nearly two years together, they've met each other's parents, who approve of the relationship.
Though Anastasia acknowledges outsiders may struggle to understand them, they intend to persist in pursuing their shared dream of continuous transformation.
While this editor finds it hard to comprehend, everyone has their own path. Their mutual commitment to this lifestyle, which harms no one, is neither here nor there.
