Woman has surgery ‘to feel brainless like Barbie’

A woman in the US has been undergoing various types of surgery in a bid to make herself more stupid, so that she will be more like her idol, Barbie.

Blondie Bennett is such a fan of the toy doll that she has dedicated her life to being as similar to her as possible.

In addition to a regular dose of Botox, lip fillers and spray tans, Ms Bennett has been using hypnotherapy with the intention of it helping to reduce her intelligence.

"When people ask why I want to be Barbie, I think, 'Who wouldn't want to be?'," she explained.

"She has the best life. All she does is shop and make herself look pretty – she doesn't worry about anything. I've had 20 sessions and I'm already starting to feel ditzy and confused all the time."

Indeed, in one recent incident, Ms Bennett admitted she got lost on her way to her mother's home in California – despite the fact it is where she grew up and lived for many years.

Another scene saw her head to the local airport to pick up a friend before she got confused over whether she should be at the departures or arrivals hall.

When she was a teenager, many people believed her fascination with Barbie would disappear as just a phase, but Ms Bennett was always adamant that as soon as she moved out of her mother's home, she would turn herself into the figure.

She admitted to having to lead a double life until about eight years ago, when she finally decided to "become Barbie for real" and pay no attention to what other people had to say about it.

A number of online sugar daddies have been called upon to fund her surgery and other changes, with Ms Bennett providing them with photographs of her dressed up as Barbie in exchange for cash.
