Meet the Russian ‘Muscle Barbie’
Julia Vins is now an eighteen year old woman. You might suggest she has been blessed in some regard with her angelic, porcelain doll-type facial features. The innocent-looking young lady has big wide pretty eyes that can’t be ignored, and a cute pair of lips that any guy would want to kiss. However, at odds with the regular paradigm of beauty is that Julia also has triceps that are probably bigger than yours.
She now has thousands of fans in her home country of Russia due to her unique combination of doll-face prettiness and a muscular physique that most guys would be happy to have. She regularly post pictures of herself topless and holds three world powerlifting records….. Julia Vins is not your average cute little eighteen year old.
So what about it? If you are generally attracted to females, would you be keen to spend time with a girl who had a pretty face, but also a pretty intimidating set of biceps? Julia reckons her appearance mostly divides the opposite sex.
“People know me as ‘muscle Barbie’ — I like this comparison,” begins Julia, according to news.com.au. “I have these big, beautiful eyes and wear make-up. But at the same time, I’m strong. I can dead lift 180kg in training. I want to become as big as possible”.
Then continues on the subject of men. “Everyone has an opinion on what I look like — they either respect my work or reprimand me for being a muscly girl. But to be honest, I’ve noticed that the guys who are negative about my athleticism — are just jealous”.
It isn’t too difficult to see how some guys could feel a little inadequate when you check out the picture of her above. For most of her life, Julia’s pretty face has seen her compared to a doll and with that comes the expectation that she will act accordingly; a pretty little innocent girl.
However, it seems that this type of image doesn’t sit too well with Julia. She explains; “Because of my facial features, people have always said I look like a doll,” she says. “And I was a good, academic girl for so many years. I studied music, was well-read, participated in various school competitions and was skilled at art. But I never felt like I had any particular objective in life. My body was not in harmony with my soul — it wasn’t the right one for me”.
Julia reports that she was just fifteen years old when she first started going to the gym. Whilst surely many people will suggest that is too young; with her body still growing, etc., Julia says it was there that she found a sense of purpose and realised who she was, in a sense.
“I had no interest in sport but I was lost. I thought I might see if I could build some strength and confidence by weight training at the gym,” says the youngster. “I started copying exercises that the male gym-goers did. It did not make me strong but then I started powerlifting.
“I loved it! I knew then that my goal was — to build muscle”.
