How long have you been working as a model?
This is my first experience as a model
Where are you from originally?
Russia, Samara
Do you have an unusual talent or party trick?
I can show off my biceps and triceps like a real bodybuilder, since I have been working out in the gym for many years.
What would surprise people if they learned about you?
I am a doctor by education, I have been working as a cosmetologist for over 20 years. I prefer procedures that emphasize natural beauty and individual features.
What are your ambitions as a model?
I like to convey the idea of beautiful aging. As life goes on, both appearance and outlook on life change, a person becomes more integral, there are fewer discrepancies between how you look and how you feel. The more you accept your age, the more opportunities and options you see for how to design your appearance so that it is pleasant to look at, and at the same time feel comfortable and protected.
