'Real-life Barbie' says she has 'no time to be friends'

Forget Ken, Midge, Skipper, and the rest of Barbie’s crew. For Tatiana “Tanya” Tuzova, 32, becoming a “real-life Barbie” doesn’t leave any time for hanging out with your friends.

“I don’t have friends. I have no time to be friends,” Tuzova told The Sun. “I like being alone, no-one interferes my thoughts, I like my world. I have a husband, he is my best friend.” Tuzova has a collection of over 1,500 dolls, and has spent just under $157,000 on her mission to become a real-life Barbie doll. But Tuzova say her passion goes far beyond just a professional calling. While she originally wanted to be a nursery school teacher, she found she couldn’t survive on the salary, even when she supplemented it with a cleaning job.

“Barbie is [not my job, it is] a lifestyle,” Tuzova said. “When I am insulted on the Internet, I tell people, ‘I don’t drink or smoke or swear. I instill a healthy lifestyle to children.’”Tuzova now does a variety of things to make money. “I work, record songs, do gigs, receive awards, produce clothes for children and grown-up girls, and rent out a photo studio,” she told The Sun.“They are not interested how many kind and good things I’ve done,” she said.

“The most important thing is to have your individuality,” she continued. “Everyone is the same now. But it is hard to copy me. I’ve been working on my style for many years and invested a lot of money into it.”Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for nonstop inspiration delivered fresh to your feed, every day.
