A Romanian model with a Barbie doll-like figure insists her 20-inch waist comes naturally and not as a result of dieting. Ioana Spangenberg has been called a “human hourglass” by the British media because of her tiny waist. With a bust as well as hips that measure 32-inches, Ioana has a figure that makes her stand out, often uncomfortably.

In Romania, she has pointed out, being thin was seen as a sign that her family was not wealthy. While her friends were out on dates, she would often sit home eating in hopes of gaining weight. She was not comfortable with her looks until she met and married her husband, Jan. He encouraged her to pose for photos which ultimately led her to her modelling career.
