For a simple layman, an artist is almost a celestial, a man of amazing beauty, grace and grace. But in fact, these are ordinary men and women working in irregular schedules and dreaming of rest. The embodiment of the stereotype of the easy life of a celebrity wanted to become a singer Barbie. This is really a very beautiful girl that no one will remember now. Why did her star roll?
It was the 90s
During the formation of the national stage, there were many successful starts and spectacular ideas. Stars flaunted in tracksuits and leggings impossible in their brightness. The popularity was comprehensive and unique, and it was easy to fly to the top, but very few managed to stay there. Remember the army of fans of the group "Ivanushki", fans of Andrei Gubin. After all, they cried under the windows, dreaming of at least touching the idol! The Russian singer Barbie appeared on the wave of the popularity of the hip-hop genre and the breakthrough of Zhenya Belousov with his romantic and sexual ballads. The production duet of composer Viktor Dorokhin and poetess Lyubov Voropaeva became seriously interested in the genre and came up with the image of a beautiful puppet girl with girlish problems and interests. The embodiment of the image was 17-year-old Marina Volkova.
Fashion tribute
Singer Barbie appeared due to the popularity of the doll of the same name. Then not only children but their parents went crazy about the new toy. Barbie became a model of perfect feminine beauty and grace. Marina Volkova corresponded to the invented image primarily because of her pretty appearance. The repertoire for her was selected quite suitable. Singer Barbie sang songs about eyelashes, cosmetics, love and other cute nonsense.
Process started
Initially, the girl expected career growth: in 1992, she released her debut album "The Alphabet of Love." This was followed by invitations to the program "Ostankino Hit Parade" and "Up to 16 and older." And suddenly it was all over. Marina Volkova broke the contract with the producers. As it turned out, she got married. Information about the girl’s future life is almost completely absent. The producers were very annoyed and complained to reporters about the optionalness of the girl and her frivolity. Fans quickly forgot the pretty face.
Life after the scene
The former singer Barbie herself admits that relations with the producers did not go right almost immediately, because they forbade her to communicate with peers, friendship with boys, dates. In the girl’s life there was nothing but work that was interesting to her, but still secondary. Nevertheless, Marina tried to build a solo career, which she did not succeed. So the singer Barbie disappeared from the sky. Her biography made a sharp turn, and years later various rumors appeared about the girl. So in a number of Russian magazines letters came from former classmates of the star, which talked about hard fate and alcohol dependence. The letter said that Volkova lives in a tiny "Khrushchev". The light on the fate of the faded star was shed after the broadcast on Channel One, which talked about media personalities of past years. We also remembered the expressive singer Barbie with a huge supply of energy and a mood for eternal positive. She really gave people joy and many viewers associated her with childhood and carelessness. Volkova did not have a personal life, the family broke up, and did not justify the fact that Barbie sacrificed her nascent career. Marina Volkova still has not received higher education to her 40s with a ponytail.
She works as a secretary to the CEO and receives a very average salary. I must say that outwardly little has changed Barbie. She remained a rather interesting woman, but ceased to be a "doll". Adult viewers could not imagine that there was a girl with the pseudonym "Barbie". The rock singer did not come out of her, but she managed to visit and be remembered as a bright pop singer. The Barbie hit “You color your eyelashes”, on which many mixes were created, was especially remembered by the people. The top ten compositions also included tracks such as "My teacher", "Dance", "Be what happens", "Watch with a secret." In addition, according to the results of the audience’s vote, Marina Volkova, known as Barbie, was included in the list of the most beautiful celebrities of the 90s. This did not bring success to her, but at least female pride amused her.
