Vittoria is a transsexual of German origins born 48 years ago in Brazil and now living in Milan, Italy. More than 20 years ago she went through about 300 injections of liquid silicone to shape her body into that of a woman; tragically, she discovered she was intolerant.
Once injected, it is almost impossible to remove the silicone, so the only way she had to control the intoxication was to go through massive cortisone-based treatments.
After so many years of intoxication and cortisone treatments her body is now consumed. She still works as a prostitute along a highway near Milan, but she never gets undressed with her clients because she doesn’t want them to be aware of her condition.
In her spare time she builds custom Barbie dolls; she buys naked plastic bodies and dresses them up, transforming them into something completely new and unconventional. Her talent is really appreciated in the world of the “custom Barbie making”.
