Talk about beauty and brains. 22-year-old Charlotte Poole from the UK may not look the part, but she has a BA in law and psychology, as well as a masters in fashion marketing.
Charlotte started dolling herself up to look like Barbie when she was 15, and says she loves the Barbie doll look of Melinda Messenger and Pamela Anderson.
She has spent thousands on her looks over the years, and wears figure-hugging corsets, dyes her hair platinum blonde and even increased her cup size to 34F.
Her look drew cruel comments from women who thought she was a 'brainless bimbo'.
With 2 degrees, a masters, as well as 12 GCSEs and 3 A Levels under her belt however, Charlotte is far from dumb. She also holds a high-flying job as a social media coordinator for a fashion company.
Charlotte says people are surprised when they find out she has a masters degree, and thinks it's funny to see their reactions.
Charlotte tones down her look when she has exams, goes for job interviews or when she is at work.
Her real-like 'Ken' is her 23-year-old boyfriend of four years Samuel Pyle.
Mr Pyle said: ‘Obviously I like the way she looks but we’re together because we are best friends and intellectual equals.’
