'Human Barbie' has spent £35k on 112 procedures to look like a plastic doll

Rachel Evans has had every inch of her face injected as she strives for plastic perfection.

The 49-year-old 'human Barbie' has spent more than £35,000 on 112 procedures, including breast implants, fillers and Botox.

She first started transforming her appearance when she was in her 30s and has vowed to keep going until she's 80.

Rachel said: "I’m 100% addicted to getting surgery to look like Barbie.

“I can’t see any time I’m going to stop; I’m going to continue until I’m 80.

“I’m really excited growing old, because the older we get the more procedures are invented to look younger.”

Unsurprisingly, Rachel's favourite colour is pink and she lives in her very own Barbie Dreamhouse.

She said: "It's a vintage chic Barbie, I painted everything myself with my own hands."

Everything Rachel wears is inspired by Barbie and her home is filled with accessories fit for a plastic princess.

She said: "As I hit my mid 30s, the more pink I would wear, the more happy I would feel.

"I love being like Barbie mainly because her slogan is ‘you can be anything'. Feel it, believe it and just make your dreams come true.:

Rachel’s ‘brunette Barbie bestie’, Naomi, often helps her to pick out outfits for her photoshoots.

These glamorous shoots are a big part of Rachel’s Barbie lifestyle and she says she "comes alive in front of the camra".

She said: "I feel the human Barbie is inside me, resonating in the camera."

Rachel regularly has top-up procedures and has recently added more fillers in her lips and nasolabial lines to hide any signs of aging.

But she says all the work she's had done is worth it so she can look like a human doll.

Rachel said: "I’m trying to look like Barbie and reconstruct my face completely.

"I don’t worry about the pain, I’m not nervous, I really have to believe [it] can make me look more like Barbie."

And she admits she does have insecurities about her appearance.

Rachel added: "When I wake up in the morning and I don't have my lashes or my contouring on, I try to quickly put the makeup on because I don't really want to look in the mirror.

"This is my authentic self-image because in the past I did struggle with my identity.

"I try not to look back at the old images because sometimes there is a bit of a sad emotion attached to it."

Rachel believes her traumatic childhood has inspired her radical transformation.

She said: "When I was at high school, I was beaten up and I was bullied.

"The bullies would pick on me because I didn't have a father and my mum was quite depressed.

"I’ve been through depression, and I went to therapy for it. After overcoming different challenges, I do feel like I've rebirthed as Barbie.”

And Rachel often reflects on what her transformation has given her: "By being Barbie it's allowed me to be happy inside and out.

"Thanks to Barbie I'm now in a very healthy mindset, I call it my Barbie happy place.

"I’m just so grateful to Barbie, even though she’s not a person, to me she’s real. Being Barbie is everything to me."
