Justin Jedlica may have had 90 surgeries and spent US$100,000 to look like Mattel’s Ken doll, but he’s not interested in imitating the plastic toy’s love life.
The US model ended Internet speculation over a possible relationship with Barbie lookalike Valeria Lukyanova when he said she was “beautiful” but not authentic enough for him.
In an interview with The Huffington Post, the “human Ken doll” compared Lukyanova to a drag queen because she relied on makeup, fake hair and corsets to look like Barbie.

“A true ‘body mod,’ such as myself, lives with a conviction to their alternations and doesn’t wash them off,” he said.
“I can appreciate that she is a talented artist, but if at the end of the day she is only presenting this ‘human Barbie doll’ on days the camera is filming … I’m not sure just how much credibility I would give her in being a real human Barbie.”
It is believed Lukyanova, 21, used plastic surgery, eyelash extensions and contact lenses to transform herself into the famous plastic doll.

賈斯汀.傑利卡或許是動了九十次手術、花了十萬美元使他看起來像美泰兒公司的肯尼娃娃,但他沒興趣仿效這個塑膠玩具的愛情生活。
這名美國模特兒說,外貌酷似芭比娃娃的維樂莉.路可亞諾娃「漂亮」,但對他來說不夠真實。這番話終結了網路上有關兩人可能發展戀情的揣測。
這名「真人肯尼娃娃」在《赫芬頓郵報》的訪問中,將路可亞諾娃小姐與變裝皇后相提並論,因為她靠化妝、假髮和馬甲使她看起來像芭比娃娃。
「一名真正的『人體模特兒』,就像我,堅信身體的改造,不會把它們洗掉」,他說。
「我看得出她是有才華的藝術家,但如果到頭來,她只是在攝影機拍攝的時候展現這個『真人芭比娃娃』…我不敢說我會多相信她是真正的真人芭比。」

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice.

Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
Drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants provide people with the immense convenience of being able to purchase and pick up meals without needing to leave their vehicles. These restaurants have been around for decades, and their success has spawned a number of equally handy services. The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
