A woman who has spent millions transforming her body into Barbie is now engaged to the love of her life.
Nikki Exotika, a transgender woman from New Jersey in the US, has been going under the knife for more than two decades to make her dreams come true.
The 40-year-old has done everything from breast enhancements, nose jobs, lifts, tucks, fixing botched surgery, voice therapy and more in her quest to look like Barbie.

“I’ve spent more than a million dollars to transform my body into plastic perfection,” she previously told Truly.
“I chose the Barbie look because I was obsessed with the doll since I was little.
“A lot of people are going to be like, ‘What makes her special? What makes her the most expensive doll? Oh so she’s spent a million on her face and body?’ well, it’s a lot more than that.”
She’s so dedicated to her appearance that every day she spends two and a half hours doing her hair and makeup.
At school, while living as Jason Torres, she was bullied for her flamboyant style and self-expression.
From the age of two, Nikki knew she was different from those around her, as she enjoyed putting on makeup and nail polish.
The blonde bombshell also grew up idolising Barbie and pop stars like Madonna after feeling like she was born in the wrong body.
“I started realising when I was little that there was definitely something wrong with me. When I was a boy I would steal my cousin’s Barbie dolls all the time. My mother would find them under my bed,” she said.
“It was hard transitioning, I had to wait until I finished high school. I had a lot of people saying mean things to me.
“When I transitioned it was the best feeling ever, it felt exhilarating just knowing that I had taken my hour back after being called ugly and your this your that, I finally found my identity.”
Unfortunately, Nikki has strangers online asking her inappropriate questions about her genitalia but she simply blocks them and moves on.
She added: “Some people might think I look like a barbie, some might think I look like a monster, to each his own. It’s what I think about how I look in the mirror, that’s what matters to me the most.
“I know a lot of people say I’m fake and this and that but guess what, plastic is fantastic.”
Nikki has been open about her hopes to find her own real-life Ken doll to settle down with.
Back in 2017, she said: "Soon I'm getting a pink BMW convertible to enhance my Barbie image, then after that I'll be looking for a hot guy who looks like a Ken Doll,” she said.
"I'm still optimistic on the relationship front, hopefully one day I'll find my Ken – I'm looking for a tall, superhot, straight muscular man, I love tattoos and pretty boys that look like Ken Doll."
Little did she know at the time, her future fiance was hiding right under her nose.
In an Instagram post to her 1million followers in August 2022, she revealed she's finally engaged.
Sharing the details of the proposal, Nikki explained that she and her husband-to-be had previously discussed marriage and living together while they were visiting Mexico as they were in a long-distance relationship.
She considered it an informal proposal without a ring as they also realised they needed to work through their differences.
“We planned on meeting again in Barcelona after Justin saved enough money to make that happen, then we had plans to head to Istanbul to fix Justin’s broken nose,” Nikki wrote.
“Well… Justin never popped the question in Barcelona which of course, made me really upset because I felt he wasn’t being serious, so we arrived to Istanbul a few days before his surgery to enjoy the city.
“He was trying to change my mood, sooo he books a couples photo/video package for us.
"Anyway, the photographers kept telling me to turn to the mosque and look out while they shoot, then Justin was behind me on his knee.
“As soon as they told me to turn around, HE PROPOSED I was NOT expecting that… he surprised me!”
She added in a follow-up post: "See our love story. 17 years ago we got engaged but we broke things off.
“Now here we are today, giving love a second chance! Do fairytales exist. Maybe, we’ll just have to wait and see.”
