Fast confession - Dominika Myslivcová: Jealous Suitor Overplayed his Cards, Police Intervened
The 23-year-old busty blond makes various impressions at once. Dominica Myslivcová alias Czech Barbie, who became famous mainly by wearing only pink colour and through advising women and men in respect of various areas of life on the internet by means of videos, clearly knows what´s what. The young beautiful businesswoman turned up for the interview with Prague LuxuryLife exuding confidence, quite simply knowing what the public wants. So she provides it and in turn it gives her a luxurious lifestyle.
Dominika, you have just returned from a holiday in the Maldives.
Yes it has been my dream place since I was a little girl. And thanks to the fact that I am on the Internet, make videos from different beautiful places and have a lot of followers on social networks, I was contacted by a travel agency - its name is Luxurious Holidays and was all arranged for me.
That is super. I am a generation older, but I know that there are many YouTubers whose earnings depend on the number of views of their videos. You have many followers…
My greatest achievement was when I made the video Barbie Girl and that has around 70 million views, which is the most of the whole of the Czech Republic, and thanks to that people became aware of me. In addition, it was a spontaneous thing, nothing thought-through, I had no idea that it would be such a success. So I told myself why not, people are interested in it, they are entertained. The pink colour and so on. So, I stuck to it.
So you are a YouTuber.
Well, look, I would not say that, today there are so many YouTubers that I cannot keep a track of it. And I don´t make that many videos any more either. I am trying to go in a little different direction. I want to achieve more on YouTube.
However, you have been doing it for a really long time. When you were sixteen you appeared on the Jan Kraus´ show and at that time there were no YouTubers yet.
Yes, but I have started when I was thirteen, I actually had to be one of the first ones. When I founded the blog, I started to make these various videos, all sorts of photo-stories - I have also worked for a bit for the magazine Bravogirl, I wrote the agony aunt column for them. So at that time there really wasn´t anyone like me. Mainly, there was no Facebook or Instagram in those days.
How does a little girl from Ostrava come up with something like that?
I do not know, at that time I was doing competition-level dancing. Eight years, each day workouts, and competitions at the weekend. So I was somewhere all the time and somehow I was one day sitting alone at my computer at home, I was bored, and I saw some blog and I liked it so much that the diary I wrote on paper, I started to put on the internet instead. I added various photos, for example mainly from those competitions, then I started those photo-stories, then the agony aunt column, where I advised small girls for example how to put on make-up. And it stuck with me.
I have noticed that everywhere you go you say "ciao meow” as a greeting…
Well it simply is like that. I once said it somewhere mistakenly and people like it so much… it will probably stick with me my entire life.
So all of this is your job.
Well, yes. People ask me a lot about what I actually do, so I say that I am doing internet advertising, I make videos. They do not understand that I can make a living from it, but I really do. I do not know how long it will last, but now I make a living out of it and a good one. In addition, most companies advertise on the internet, which I find even more effective than putting it in some magazine, so I hope that it will go on for some time.
But a lot of kids think that they can make a living this way too.
Well yes, but I think that today the internet is so satiated that I wonder how long it will last.
There are plenty of envious people, I assume that you have also some experience with that.
Of course I do. Already when I began, when I was little, quite a few people ´hated´ me. At that time I was put off. I do not want to say that I have collapsed, but it was unpleasant and incomprehensible. When a person whom I have never seen, attacks me and my family… it´s horrible. But I have to say that I grew thicker skin. It is more difficult to throw me off my balance now. I have seen a lot.
Can you be more specific?
So for example when I flew somewhere on holiday, people wrote to me that they wished the plane would fall down.
Is that a fact?
Indeed and my family… my family don´t read it anymore, but when I was younger, they took it badly. They did not like so much criticism of their daughter. But now they just don´t read it and that is good. When anyone says anything against me personally I am cool with it, nothing throws me off balance, but as soon as someone says something about my family - the people I like the most, I go crazy.
I have seen your Mummy in one video you made and she looks great.
She is 43 years, she is my best friend. Now we are even closer since I now live in Prague. I have been here for two years. We call each other every day.
Do you study anything?
Yes, marketing in creative industries.
I am just asking if you have some sort of back-up plan for the time when all this is over.
Perhaps it will end one day, but I think that I am such a determined person that I think that I will think of something else and I will go on. I would not reconcile myself with having to make a step backwards.
You look beautiful, you are slim, blonde... what about men? They must be smitten.
Thank you. Well probably sometimes they are, but what I sometimes see around me is horrible.
Do they send you invitations?
Yes, they offer me a date, marriage, life together… everything. I find that people on the internet lose discernment. What kind of messages do I get? And photos? That is even worse! I do not know what they want to say, what they think, when I receive photos of genitals…
You have also met with a really crazy guy, because of whom the police had to intervene?
Yes. Once I took pictures with Filip Matušínský, two years back we were taking photos for a charity calendar. I was wearing something a little revealing, lingerie. And some fan that is really crazy about me, found his telephone number and threatened him that if he ever takes photos of me in a bra again he would kill him. He threatened him. We did not understand at all. We reported it.
And last year, I still had that pink car… I could not be overlooked. So another fan, who has been writing to me for about six years, was standing by the car when I was coming back from a sun bed session. I recognised him from the photograph, I became really frightened, I did not want to go near him. So I sat down in a restaurant and waited for him to leave. He stood there for two hours!
And what about other men. Do you keep in touch with Charouz?
Some articles have been published, even with a photo of us having a breakfast together. It was a scandal, I do not understand why, we just sat opposite each other, eating. He has been representing me for the past two years, so we might be seen together in the future, too. This is about all that one can say about it.
And do you have a boyfriend? What will he give you under the Christmas tree?
As I say, there are plenty of men around me, but I am waiting for the best one to turn up and when he does, everyone will certainly find out about it.
Who accompanies you on those beautiful holidays then?
Girlfriends, family…
Do you think that a holiday with a girlfriend is better than with a boyfriend?
When you´re in love, the most beautiful holiday is with a boyfriend.
Have you experienced it?
Yes, I had a four-year relationship, so we spent holidays together.
I was entertained by a photo from Dubai, where you have a wonderful view and you commented it by the words that you grew up among panel apartment blocks and that you are used to having such a view… (laughter) Those people had to be flabbergasted!
It is true. But I told myself many times that maybe I am exaggerating, friends sometimes say that I provoke them too much, but when I see how the people comment it, how envious they are… so I get an even better boost if write something like that. If their reactions were not so extreme, perhaps I could calm down. (laughter)
Let everybody say what they like, a lot of people condemn me, in accordance with the photos on Instagram most people brand me as a stupid blond, but do you know how it sometimes is, not everything is clear at first glance. Moreover, I really don´t care who thinks what about me. For me it is important what people that I know personally think about me.
Did you ever test your IQ?
No, but in school I have always been the best at such tests. To the surprise of everyone, including the teachers. But I certainly plan to do it, I have a kind of an idea about one video...
Where do you see yourself in ten years time?
Although I am a terrible careerist, I would like to do what I am doing or have my own programme, or my own brand of clothes, I have a competition for girls Miss Princess, so I would also like to press that forward, but in a decade I see myself with a partner who will love me and I will love him… and perhaps a baby...
Dominika, somewhere there is some video of yours where you say that beautiful girls do not have to work, that they should be supported by a man, but here I did not hear that you want to be a princess that works...
There are men around me that think that I am an incompetent blond and who would perhaps give me everything, but my goal is to arrange everything myself, do it by myself. I want to earn my own money, so far I have succeeded.
I have also noticed that you are involved in charity work.
Yes, I have always been emphatic. I have empathy for people and have a great relationship with children. My Mom is a photographer of children, pregnant mothers to be… Well and sick children? It breaks my heart. When I was little, I took toys to children's homes. I tried to do everything possible to help, even though I was not famous. Two years ago I learned about one girl, who needed money for an operation and physical therapy. That is why we made that charity calendar. I think that I would like to establish my own foundation. But that is still far away.
Please, I would also like to ask, were you somehow involved in politics?
Well…. that was not the best idea. In the beginning I thought that it would be great. I thought that I could help in this way too, that young people could start to be interested in what is going on in this world. It was not as if I wanted to do my utmost to engage in politics. Well it was not exactly right. I was glad that it ended, it was a terrible pressure. Those people… they did not click with me.
I am also interested whether you attend any foreign language lessons?
Now I will finally start, with Jana Postlerová.
What about the plastic surgery?
So far I haven´t had any, only hair extensions.
Let´s finish this interview on a good note. What are your objectives for 2018?
I am not making any resolutions, but next year I would certainly like to travel a lot, to pay more attention to charity work and go ahead with my own programme, which should be about me.
