We all have heard the song “I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world.” However, today, we're talking about a model who's a Barbie girl in the real world. Meet the Australian-Sudanese model, Nyadak Duckie Thot. She's dark and beautiful and looks like a real-life Barbie. She was one among the thousands of models in the modeling business. Her photos have been published on the covers of famous magazines. In 2017 however, an event changed her career completely.
She appeared in a photograph entitled “Duckie After Dark” in which she looked entirely like a Barbie doll. The image was so clear that the viewers couldn't believe that they're looking at a real girl or a Barbie doll.
The secret behind the incredible picture is a particular photo shoot known as “Barbie Style” successfully implemented by its creators.
The real-life Barbie moved to New York from Southern Sudan to become famous and to focus on her career as a model. She has an ideal appearance for her modeling career: a pretty face, beautiful skin, big eyes and and ideal shape suited for the field.
Duckie’s skin color might vary depending on the light because of the rare distribution of Melanin in her body. It can range from Swarthy to the color of the Ebony tree.
There are hundreds of photos of this Duckie on the internet where she's posing and smiling. Her fans didn't believe that the same model is depicted in every picture.
In 2017, Duckie was bullied for her hair and for being a black woman. She said that: “Being a black woman, we haven’t really been taught how to take care of our natural hair — we’ve only been taught how to hide it. I think hair companies, the media, hairstylists, and the industry itself are to blame.”
“They haven’t made the same efforts to ensure black women are looked after in their most natural form. If you really think about it, it’s the black women on YouTube who have really held it down with their natural hair tutorials. I think [the industry] should really take ownership and start to invest in us,” she added.
