There's a whole world of Barbie wannabes out there, but Nannette Hammond of Cincinnati, OH might be the new reigning Barbie queen. Hammond, 42, is a wife and mom of five who loves Barbie so much that she's spent over $500,000 getting plastic surgery to look like her.

And her family says they're completely on board and very proud of her. In fact, it's her husband and kids who take the pictures and videos for her racy Instagram account, where she has over 32,000 followers.

As a kid, Hammond was "obsessed" (you think?) with Barbie and had over 50 of them. In an interview with News Dog Media, she says: “I loved playing with those Barbies. Growing up, I felt shy and self-conscious about my looks and wanted to be just like the dolls.”

My kids are healthy, my husband treats me like a princess every day. When people say I look like Barbie. . . or I live this Barbie life, it's better than Barbie."
