Unbelievable Women Who’ll Blow Your Mind

#1 Queen of Corsets

Although there are a number of women quickly catching up with her, Cathie Jung is currently the record-holder for having the smallest waist in the world. The new trend might make some of you squirm and feel just the slightest bit uncomfortable but more and more women are turning to wearing corsets every day in a bid to get the desirable Jessica Rabbit-style hourglass figure.

Corsets definitely aren't the comfiest garment you could pick out of your closet and we're not quite sure how these women tolerate them all day, every day!

#2 Petite ’n’ Hippy

If âÂ€Â˜hips don't lie' then we wonder what truths could be told from Mikel Ruffinelli's eight foot-wide hips?! Weighing in at a hefty 420 pounds she's only 5âÂ€³4 tall, meaning she wears her weight all around her hips.

Despite plastic surgery allegations, Mikel Ruffinelli claims that all her female relatives are âÂ€Â˜hippy beauties' and she gets hers from her mother and aunts.

#3 Big Assets

Some men believe bigger is better but we're not quite sure how they'd handle this German model's goods.

As you can probably imagine, âÂ€Â˜regular' clothes don't quite cover this beauty so she needs to resort to having clothes specially made for her.

#4 Pointed Pearly Whites

Most women would undergo corrective treatment to avoid pointed teeth but not this woman. The Mentawai tribe, coming from Indonesia, are a classic example of how beauty is perceived differently in different cultures. Within the tribe, having sharp and pointed pearly-whites are seen as beautiful, and women, once they reach full adulthood, actually undergo extensive treatments to create this look rather than correct it.

It seems funny to us that many Americans are shelling out hundreds and thousands of dollars to get perfectly straight and dazzling Hollywood smiles and in this part of the world, our version of perfection is seen as ugly.

#5 Human Barbie

Valeria Lukyanova is a girl who's name you might not know but who's face or body you've probably seen! The Ukrainian beauty has been given the title of âÂ€Â˜Human Barbie' with plastic surgery and makeup enhancements to make her look just like that a real life Barbie girl. Despite the title she doesn't actually like the name, referring to it as "degrading and insulting" but "complies with it" to keep in tune with the image she has created, adding #Barbie hashtags to photos.

Alongside plastic surgery, Valeria Lukyanova runs for an hour every morning and spends a minimum of three hours in the gym straight after to perfect her look. At times, she'll even go for five or six hours. We think that might be a lot of work to look âÂ€Â˜perfect' What about you?

#6 Bouncing Botox

Botox is all the rage these days with most women wanting bigger, poutier, more luscious lips. Kristina Rei is just one of those women and for over six years, she has been perfecting her pout with the help of a little cosmetic enhancement to look just like her cartoon character idol, Jessica Rabbit. It has reportedly taken over one hundred filler injections to perfect the pout, an obsession that started after being bullied at school.

In order to get her juicy lips to this plumped-up size, she's had to spend a whopping $6,200!

#7 Erika ‘Amazon Eve’ Ervin

Erika Ervin is the tallest supermodel in the world, standing at 6âÂ€³8 ft tall. In fact, she was recently on the hit TV show American Horror Story and if you thought it may have been stilts or some super-special effects to make her the size she is, you'd be wrong. She's transgender and was actually born a man. It was back in 2004 that she completed the transition into a woman, and after recognizing that most directors were casting her to be the âÂ€Â˜monster' when she tried to get into acting, she changed tacts to become a model and a fitness trainer, choosing to play on her strengths.

It's quite ironic how when she gave up on the idea of acting, she was cast the beautiful role in American Horror Story Right?

#8 Nineteen-Foot Dreads

The real-life Rapunzel, Asha Mandela, has dreadlocks that are, on average, 19.5 feet in length! When measured, some of the random strands of her dreads were even measured to be around 55 feet in length! Dreadlocks are hard work at the best of times but 50 year old Asha has dedicated her life to the cause.

She has held the record for having the longest dreads in the world since 2008 but we're wondering how long it takes before someone else jumps in with even longer ones?

#9 Super-Strength

Polish-born Aneta Florczyk showed super-strength from a very young age and was encouraged by her parents to make the most of what she did best. It was a smart decision for her and she starting actually competing in sports by the time she hit her teens.

Aneta won the Zambian World's Strongest Woman Competition just a year later in 2013 and she still holds the strong-woman title to this day. That's some super-strength!

#10 Super-Small

One of the most uncommon forms of dwarfism is a condition called achondroplasia. It is what has caused Indian-born woman, Jyoti Amge, to grow to just just under 2âÂ€³6 at her current age of 22.

Jyoti Amge is the smallest woman in the world. Stood next to this soda pop bottle, you could almost call her pint-sized!

#11 One-Armed Surfer

It's not very often you can say a shark attack caused you to lose a limb but American professional surfer, Bethany Hamilton can say just that. After fighting with a shark and technically winning, she suffered at the hands of losing her left arm to the beast. This never stopped her though and within a year, she was back in the water again causing an inspirational climb to fame after the 2011 feature film Soul Surfer was released.

Definitely an unbelievable story! Probably not one we'd want to recreate

#12 Steroids

Candice Armstrong was once a London-born barmaid who changed genders because of steroid use and a battle with body dysmorphia, where the mind doesn't see the true reflection in the mirror. Working out for more than three hours a day some days, she couldn't see what other people were seeing the bulging biceps and rippling abs.

They say exercise is good for you but exercise and steroids? We're not sure that makes for a great mix.

#13 10,000 Calories Per Day

If you want to know what happens when you eat in excess of ten thousand calories per day, Charity Pierce can show you. Weighing a hefty 789 lbs, she's now considered housebound, unable to stand up let alone walk more than a few steps.

Just so you know, 10,000 calories is enough to feed a family of four. That's four adults too.

#14 Joined at the Hip

Brittany and Abigail Hensel are a very special set of twins. They are conjoined twins. In case you're not aware what that means, they share the same body. They have one arm and one leg to control each plus a number of vital organs, and although this looks like one person, it's most definitely two. As kids, co-ordination between the two of them was inevitably difficult.

We know siblings can be close but this is something else right?

#15 Super Legs

It was clear something was wrong from a very early point when Mandy Sellars was born and for two weeks, her mother wasn't allowed to see her while the docs tried to figure it out. Mandy has a disorder that means her legs simply won't stop growing and they have now ballooned to a pretty incredibly size. Focus on her left leg and it once tipped the scales at a whopping seventeen stone alone!

After years of living with infection after infection, in 2010 she finally had the leg amputated before it "killed" her.

#16 World’s Ugliest Woman

Okay, so the title is pretty harsh but Grace McDaniels lived up to the name with pride after running away to join the circus and becoming the star of the freak show, commonly called the "Mule-Faced Woman". She won The Ugliest Woman in the World back in 1935 and she went on to not only get married but also have a son.

If the world's ugliest woman can live happily ever after (sort of), there's hope for the rest of us!

#17 Masses of Makeup

They do say that red lipstick makes a woman appear more attractive to a man but we're not sure this amount of red lipstick is quite the look you should be aiming for.

At least she's dedicated to the cause.
