A psychiatrist who competes in beauty pageants has been nicknamed 'Dr Barbie' by her patients - and says she finds it 'empowering' to be compared to the famous doll. Saskia Fauguel, 28, first started getting compared to the Barbie character in her hospital when she dyed her hair blonde.
Patients, she revealed, also began to comment on her glamorous dress sense, compared to other doctors who routinely wear scrubs. But Saskia, a former Miss England finalist, said she likes the comparison because it spreads a message that 'you can be whoever you want to be.'
She said: "A lot of my patients don't always know that I do pageants. Sometimes I'll go and take some bloods from them and they tell me that I look more like a supermodel than a doctor. Some of them call me princess and doll, but then others do call me doctor Barbie, especially now that I've got blonde hair.
