Model, Blogger, and Anime Girl
Dubbed a "living doll," rather than a mere mortal, this striking woman crosses paths with citizens of Odessa daily, leaving an unforgettable impression. Her captivating appearance boasts enormous eyes, flawless porcelain skin, candy-colored wigs, doll-like dresses, and an impossibly slender waist. Yet, most passersby remain unaware that the enigmatic figure known as Fukkacumi, or the Flower Fairy, has endured a tumultuous life marked by bullying, threats, and persistent online harassment.
Childhood and Early Life
Anastasiya Shpagina was born in May 1993 in Odessa, Ukraine, where she still resides. As a young girl, her mother's makeup kit sparked a fascination that would endure her entire life. From that moment forward, Anastasiya eagerly embraced cosmetics, though she now invests her own funds in the elaborate artistry that defines her look. Despite her doll-like appearance, Anastasiya has proven adept at earning a comfortable living that supports her artistic obsession. By profession, she is a makeup artist employed at one of the most prestigious beauty salons in her hometown. Notably, Anastasiya's parents fully support her passion, despite its perceived eccentricity by many locals.
The Birth of Fukkacumi
From an early age, Anastasiya Shpagina exhibited a talent for drawing. Initially, she sketched popular anime dolls on paper, but soon, her own face became her canvas. To achieve the "doll effect," the young artist would meticulously apply the lightest foundation, transforming her face into a blank canvas. Upon this base, she drew the facial features that appealed to her aesthetic sensibilities. By darkening the nostrils while lightening the nose bridge, Anastasiya achieved the desired Barbie-like shape. The boundary between her face and neck was carefully blended, creating a seamless transition.
Next, the self-proclaimed makeup artist focused on her eyes, enlarging them to unnatural proportions while mimicking the exaggerated shape of a doll's eyes. Eyeliner extended far beyond the natural contour, amplified by white pencil and blended with eyeshadow. Feline-esque "cat eyes" further emphasized the doll-like effect, followed by voluminous false eyelashes, generously coated in mascara. To achieve an otherworldly eye color, Anastasiya resorted to contact lenses. Her distinct eyebrows were meticulously drawn with a pencil, and the same technique was employed to shape her lips.
Makeup as Art
Creating Fukkacumi's makeup is no easy feat. Surprisingly, Anastasiya has amassed a significant following of imitators. Inspired by the relentless requests of her fans, the Flower Fairy created a YouTube channel in 2011, where she shared tutorials showcasing her signature "doll makeup" techniques. The videos garnered immense popularity, propelling Anastasiya Shpagina to continue her creative endeavors. Since then, she has regularly shared her expertise in transforming her face into various iconic figures. Her step-by-step makeup guides consistently break viewership records online.
A few years ago, Anastasiya Shpagina became the official face of the Korean youth cosmetics line "Yoida." The collaboration stemmed from her personal admiration for the brand's charming packaging. Following the release of advertisements featuring the Odessa native, her fan base skyrocketed globally.
Reconstructive Surgery
Anastasiya's transformation into a living doll has sparked speculation about surgical interventions, a claim she does not deny. Furthermore, she openly expresses her desire to continue refining her appearance to conform to her ideal doll-like standards. Shpagina aspires to alter the shape of her eyes by removing a portion of her eyelid, a procedure only available in Japan. Additionally, she intends to cinch her already slender waist even further by undergoing rib removal.
Despite her petite stature, the 158-centimeter-tall woman hopes to shed a few more kilograms, considering her current weight of 39 kilograms excessive.
Creative Evolution
To maintain the unwavering interest in her videoblog, Anastasiya continually devises innovative ways to captivate her followers, experimenting with a vast array of styles. Branching out beyond the "doll" aesthetic, Shpagina began recreating the faces of famous Hollywood and international music stars on her own face. Her YouTube channel features tutorials on how to transform into Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, and even Johnny Depp.
Personal Life
Fukkacumi's unconventional appearance elicits mixed reactions, leaving few indifferent. According to Anastasiya, her social circle is exceedingly small, a self-imposed solitude stemming from feeling misunderstood and isolated. She refuses exploitation of her fame or perceived neediness in her relationships.
Despite her voluntary solitude, Anastasiya has maintained a romantic relationship with Russian blogger Ruslan Tushencov. Initially, the couple feigned a familial connection when appearing in public, but in December 2016, Anastasiya revealed the truth to her followers. Ruslan stood by her side during the controversy surrounding her plastic surgery.
Recent reports suggest that the couple has parted ways. Anastasiya and Ruslan have unfollowed each other on social media and are no longer photographed together.
The Flower Fairy remains unfazed by her relationship status, expressing no yearning for family or children. Instead, she cherishes her solitary existence, harboring a peculiar dream of a giant butterfly becoming her closest companion. Among her more down-to-earth aspirations is a collaboration with the eccentric Russian stylist Sergey Zverev, who she believes might be a more suitable match than any mundane suitor.
The only country where Anastasiya Shpagina feels genuine admiration rather than apprehension towards her appearance is Japan, the birthplace of anime. However, lacking proficiency in Japanese, relocation is not on her horizon.
Plastic Surgery Controversy
In 2017, Anastasiya Shpagina found herself at the center of a major scandal. Although she had never formally admitted to plastic surgery, she publicly revealed the truth during a tumultuous period in her life. Anastasiya had long been dissatisfied with a perceived hump on her nose, yearning for a straightened septum. In 2016, she received an email offering a discounted plastic surgery procedure in exchange for promoting the clinic. Anastasiya interpreted this as a fortunate sign and eagerly accepted.
In January, she met with Timur Nugayev, a surgeon at the "Parada" clinic who would later perform the surgery. Rumors circulated that Anastasiya developed a cold prior to the procedure, but the doctors proceeded with the operation regardless. Complications ensued, and Anastasiya experienced nasal bleeding and discomfort.
Determined to fulfill her advertising obligations, Anastasiya posted images of her healing nose on her popular Instagram account, praising the clinic and recommending the surgeon to her followers. However, within a matter of months, as her nose began to shrink, Anastasiya became alarmed, consulting experts who concluded that the surgery had been performed incorrectly.
A bitter conflict erupted between the blogger and the doctors. Anastasiya recorded a video recounting the details of her ordeal, accusing the surgeons of botched rhinoplasty and leaving her with impaired breathing. The video went viral on her YouTube channel, amassing millions of views within days.
Soon after, a second video emerged, revealing that Anastasiya had received threatening messages from representatives of the clinic, including a note left at her doorstep. She filed a police report, but the authorities declined to pursue the case, citing lack of immediate threat to her life.
Concurrently, Anastasiya faced a barrage of online bullying from individuals opposed to her views. Members of anti-blogger groups created unflattering photo collages, wrote derisive posts, and accused Anastasiya of recklessness and stupidity.
Desperation drove Anastasiya to seek help on the popular talk show "Let the People Talk." Experts urged her to pursue legal action, and she agreed. Anastasiya emphasized that her primary goal was not financial compensation but rather the revocation of the surgeon's license.
However, many celebrities in the show's audience defended the surgeon, recounting their own positive experiences with Timur Nugayev. Host Andrey Malakhov also failed to support the victim, turning the episode into a chaotic and sensationalized circus. Following the broadcast, bloggers and ordinary viewers alike launched a furious backlash against "Let the People Talk."
Media outlets speculate that the Anastasiya Shpagina scandal contributed to Andrey Malakhov's dismissal from "Channel One."
