TRANSSEXUAL Nikki Exotika has spent £750,000 transforming from bullied “band geek” to Barbie doll – and is now looking for her dream real life Ken Doll.
Who is Nikki Exotika?
Nikki Exotika, 35, from Hoboken in New Jersey, USA, has been under the knife for nearly two decades changing every inch of her body to look like her plastic fantastic idol.
From the age of two she knew she was different, always putting on make-up and nail polish before becoming obsessed with Barbie two years later.
At school, while living as Jason Torres, she was bullied for her flamboyant style and self-expression, when she would hike-up her shorts and strut down the corridors in tight t-shirts like a runway.
Nikki received comments from “cover girl” and “pretty boy” to hateful homophobic names like “faggot” and “homo” as well as being beaten up but didn’t allow it to hold her back.
What was Nikki Exotika’s upbringing like?
Nikki, grew-up idolising Barbie and popstars like Madonna, after believing she was born in the wrong body from when she was a toddler.
She said: “I would get reprimanded for playing with my cousin’s dolls at four-years-old, even then I wanted to look like Barbie, it was always my dream.
“Then small things like I would always sit-down when I went to the bathroom, I never stood up, it felt like I was born with the wrong genitals even at that age.”
In school, Nikki she received cruel comments for her “eccentric” appearance, but at home she would raid her mum’s closet, apply heavy make-up and dream of being one of the stars on MTV.
Nikki said: “All I wanted was to be able to look in the mirror and escape the pain I had as a child, and look like a totally different person.”
She said: “I started using concealer in middle school and a little pencil to draw on my eyebrows, I would go in all pretty and nice, my nickname was ‘cover girl’.
“I was bullied every single day at school and after school I was always feminine, I would hike my shorts up and wear tight shirts and ‘pretty boy’ make-up.
“Some guys were nice and defended me in school but most of the jocks called me a “faggot’ pushed me into the lockers, punched, tripped, spit amongst other things.
“No matter how many times I was beat up after school or in the locker room, I never gave-up on being myself and living the way I have always felt inside.”
What surgery has Nikki Exotika had?
During her teens she discovered transsexual and transvestite bars, meeting trans-men and started taking illegal hormones and having body modifying injections to achieve her dream.
By the age of 19, she had gender reassignment surgery, after three nose jobs, two boobs jobs and an Adam’s apple reduction.
Since then she’s gone onto have over a million dollars-worth of surgery, procedures and other aids to help to transform her into a Barbie Doll.
Nikki’s done everything from breast enhancements, nose jobs, lifts, tucks, fixing botched surgery, voice therapy and more in her quest to look like Barbie.
Including a staggering $250,000 (£187,950) worth of hospital costs, $150,000 (£112,807) on Botox, fillers, facials and peels and over $155,000 (£116,560) on makeup, lashes, hair extensions and tanning.
Nikki, a proud mum of three adopted gay sons, said: “I’ve had over a million dollars of surgery, I only did the calculation recently and struggled to remember everything I’ve done to myself.
“My body has had gallons of silicone, I’ve spent a lot on changing everything from my head to my toes, breasts and body.
“I didn’t just want to be pretty, I wanted to be gorgeous, stunning, the ultimate – I never wanted to be the girl next door I wanted to be the sexy b**** down the block.”
What is Nikki Exotika doing now?
The solo-recording artist, who previously formed America’s first transgender pop group Secret Girls, is now looking for love with her eyes set on finding a perfect plastic partner who looks like a Ken Doll.
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.
“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.”
Nikki is part of the Plastics of Hollywood, the world’s first “real life doll house” showcasing characters who have collectively spent in over $4million (£3million) changing their appearances.
A TV show is set to follow the Plastics of Hollywood talent agency and their antics, as the characters tries try to find work outside of the world of surgical and cosmetic enhancement.
