Meet The Human Ken Doll Justin Jedlica



Most little girls played with Barbie doll when growing up and some adults still have her as a collector's item. Today i'm talking about Barbie's man Ken doll but in this case, is human unlike the lifeless Ken doll.


Justin Jedlica was born on August 8, 1980 (33) and grew up in Bronx New York. He became famous after undergoing over 100 plastic surgeries. This lead to the media calling him 'The. Human Ken Doll'. This self-professed “artist” and “pioneer of the modifiable male aesthetic” has no intention of stopping his surgical alterations. 



"My father and mother were both originally from the Bronx, New York and both shared a common religious and ethnic background, being Catholic and of Slovak decent. I was brought up in a lower-income household of six, the oldest of four siblings, three boys and the youngest, my sister", said the outgoing Justin. 


He went further to say, "as  a first born child, my parents were fairly strict with me. My father had wanted his first child to be a boy; a child who would reflect his interests, beliefs as well as physical attributes. I was anything but what he had expected. Instead of sports and cars, I was drawn to the arts and had an affinity for the “finer things in life.” I had an intense passion for sketching and sculpting the human form, for music and for performing. I watched television longing to be one of “those people” who lived in luxury, glamour and “fabulosity.” My community, my family, and my friends didn't seem to understand me or my interests. I always felt that I was destined for more grander things, but wasn't sure how my life would be any different from the one I had experienced as a child. Before I had even graduated high school, I began searching for a plastic surgeon to "fix" my nose. I was seventeen. My family was not supportive of my decision to schedule my surgery. Therefore, without their blessing, I was forced to wait until I reached the legal age of consent, eighteen. Four days later, I climbed onto the operating table and underwent my first cosmetic surgery. Years later and a consistently increasing number of procedures, I continue my journey of modification. The process itself is cathartic for me. The restructuring of the contours of my face and body in an effort to customize myself perseveres as I grow as an individual. I plan on maintaining my looks and continuing to present the most optimal version of myself." 


In about ten years he has undergone over 140 cosmetic procedures. These  includes rhinoplasty, chest implants, shoulder implants, bicep implants, triceps implants, brow shaving and lifts, cheek augmentations, subpectoral implants, thigh implants, gluteoplasty, lip augmentations and calf implants.

Justin Jedlica is a gay married man. He resides in The Trump Tower in Chicago, Illinois with his husband. The couple got married after dating for 5 years. Justin 'Human Ken doll' says his husband is in support of his body enhancement surgery and doll look. 
"He tells me that my plastic surgery turns him on… he doesn’t have any qualms with it. It was something we talked about even before we got married, because I was like, ‘We’re not going to get married if you’re going to give me shit about my surgeries!’ He was like, ‘Oh, I know that’s part of you, it’s totally fine.’ He’s not opposed to having work done either. It really was a moot point; it wasn’t an issue at all. I think he thinks it’s kind of cool."


Hope you had a great time reading about our human Ken doll, would bring you Barbie some other time #hehehe.
