On March 9, 1959 Barbie was introduced to this world in all her glory weighing in at 49 kg with pencil-thin legs, creating the illusion of a 5 foot 9 frame that goes on forever and a day. Barbie boasted a chiseled silhouette housing flawless skin, the perfect hourglass waist and hips, and a twinkle in her eyes. Not only was she perfect, her wardrobe was also perfected over the years with pink heart-shaped sunglasses and a selection of cute sets.

But just how far did Lukyanova really go? Read on to find out.
