A 'real-life Barbie' has revealed living as a human doll is lonely and she has 'no friends'.

Tatiana ‘Tanya’ Tuzova, 32, has spent £120,000 on her Barbie hobby - which includes a collection of 1,520 dolls.

Now Russian Tatiana is aiming to claim the world record for the biggest Barbie collection.

She also plans to change her family name to Barbie and dresses only in pink.

Denying she is obsessional as she shows off her Barbie looks and huge doll collection, Tatiana admitted that she leads a lonely life.

She said: “I don't have friends. I have no time to be friends.

“I like being alone, no-one interferes my thoughts, I like my world.

“I have a husband, he is my best friend.”

The Russian Barbie’s entire life revolves around her chosen lifestyle.

She said: “I work, record songs, do gigs, receive awards, produce clothes for children and grown-up girls, and rent out a photo studio” - but it is all Barbie related.

“All of my everyday clothes are pink,” she said.

“I don't get tired of pink, it has lots of shades.”

She admits she had a boob job to enlarge her breasts after giving birth to her son, Zhenya, now 11.

Tatiana added: “I enlarged my breasts.

“It was awful after pregnancy and I had to have it fixed.”

Her fifth and current husband is a medic, but Tatiana declined to name him.

She added: "He is a doctor and can fix your back.

"We met at his work and then I conquered him with my karaoke voice.

"Now he makes me Barbie-style presents, recently it was a pink Mini Cabrio.”

Tatiana became a full-time Barbie after she wanted to become a nursery school teacher, but could not live on the monthly salary of £71 plus £22 for also working as a cleaner.

She said: "It was too sad to imagine my beautiful self cleaning floors.

"Barbie is [not my job it is] a lifestyle.

"When I am insulted on the internet, I tell people, 'I don't drink or smoke or swear. I instil a healthy lifestyle to children’.”

But people are not interested in her inner world, she complained, adding: "They are not interested how many kind and good things I've done.

“They have to know my age, how many times I was married, what surgeries I had, and the colour of my underwear.”

But she believes she is unique.

“The most important thing is to have your individuality,” she said.

“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.”
