'Human Barbie Doll' Valeria Lukyanova Stirs Sexuality Confusion in Recent Photo Shoot
Valeria Lukyanova, who is better known as the "Human Barbie Doll," recently put out a question to her followers about her sexuality. The model reportedly stirred speculations about her true gender orientation after appearing in an intimate photo shoot with female friend Svetlana Bondarenko, per Mail Online.
According to the publication, the Ukranian model put out a poll to her followers on VK.com, asking them to guess her sexuality. "Don't be shy to vote, I made the poll anonymous," Lukyanova had written on her poll.
The result reportedly gave mixed gender assumptions. Mail Online said that out of her 431,000 followers, over 4,000 answered her poll. Out of the results, 65 percent reportedly guessed Lukyanova is heterosexual and 2.3 percent said she is gay. Meanwhile, 5.2 percent answered she is asexual and 18.4 percent assumed Lukyanova is bisexual.
The survey reportedly came after Lukyanova and Bondarenko shared an intimate photo shoot together. Mail Online shared several shots from their photo shoot, which was reportedly taken in Shenzhen City from the southeast part of China's Guangdong Province. The friends posed in a series of provocative shots as they hugged and caressed each other.
One picture shows the 30-year-old Lukyanova and Bondarenko posing as if they are about to kiss. Another shot shared by Mail Online shows the pair lying closely and facing each other with their eyes closed.
In another photo, Lukyanova and Bondarenko are dressed in a black and white lace dress. According to Mail Online, Lukyanova described the shot as a representation of the symbols "Yin and Yang."
Regardless of her seductive photos with Bondarenko, Lukyanova wrote on her VK page that the images are not meant to pleasure men. According to Mail Online, Lukyanova also called it "nonsense" that people would think she poses in sexy shots for men.
"[The] funniest myth is probably the fact that we look like this only for men. But few people know that in my life I had a single guy -- my husband. And this way, I am very proud, because not everyone can boast of such honesty and purity. And I believe that we should be proud," she wrote on her VK page.
Lukyanova grabbed headlines back in April 2014 because of her comments about mixed races in a now-deleted GQ interview. According to Huffington Post, the self-professed "Human Barbie Doll" was labelled as a racist by writer Michael Idov because she looked down on mixed races and called them "degeneration."
