Asuka K.

I have the same opinion, because that stereotype of beauty has never been appealing to me. But there's something else about her I guess. Oh well, it's early here, so I'll have better words to describe her later.

I'll go with Eugenia

@Betty: I've gotten most of the text off, I'm working on the removing lipstick now.

I could change lip color, and I'll try my hand at the other tasks if you'd like me to.

More on the way

Rianne

Pleased to help you, Sahara! I've been busy lately, and feeling quite ill after eating some not so thoroughly cooked meat. But I'm trying to get my sufficient time online. I'll pm you on WFT.

What's the favor , Sahara?

I saw that one before, but you beat me to posting it. Yay for the 5th page Celebration!

Josie

A Rianne set I made, enjoy.

Yes I was thinking the same, I'd love to see an editorial of her.

19 years, but no luck on finding more on her birthdate yet.

I see what you mean, and maybe can relate, Sahara. I guess it's Doutzen adorable looks, yet she's able to be sexy, but not too much so. But Rianne has more sexiness to her, but there's more to her than that. Doutzen and Rianne do have some similarites. Like Rianne is an edgier verson of Doutzen, with a bit more stronger features. I hope that came out okay, because I just confused myself with my own words....

You're welcome, I appreciate being able to make any Diana fans happy. I'm hoping to get more info about her, such as birthdate, etc.

You can just call me Asuka, lol. Well, here are the pics I've gathered so far. Some may be reposts, but I'm sure the majority of them aren't. More where that came from later..

Sure I can check for you, I'll explore other resources too.

Now at 200 posts

Yes I'm on WFT, but not tFS.

Thanks, and yes we can all help make Diana more popular.

You're very welcome, I'd like to contribute to this thread as much as possible!

I've always liked some thing about her, but now that is rekindled. She's in my top ten. Which makes me think, I've never 'officially' set up a top 10. I have some work to do. Anyway, I'll be making some sets featuring Rianne as well as wallpapers. So those items should be posted soon enough.

THE setting was a lavish party on Liberty Island to promote a new Russian vodka, Imperia, in the United States. All around, veterans of the New York party scene were experiencing Moscow on the Hudson in the form of free-flowing vodka, gobs of caviar and wandering gypsy musicians. But standing at the foot of the Statue of Liberty, Natalia Vodianova, a Russian supermodel who is the face of Calvin Klein, seemed more intent on some old-fashioned American networking. And when she greeted Donna Karan with a smile and an embrace, the two quickly got down to business. "Meet my friend Diana," Ms. Vodianova said, taking the arm of Diana Kamalova, a shy, blond 19-year-old student from the Russian republic of Tatarstan. "She could model for you." Ms. Kamalova, who looks like a Slavic cousin of Mary-Kate Olsen, studies finance at Baruch College and has almost no modeling experience. But Ms. Karan was impressed and invited her to audition for a fashion show. "She's really tiny, but she's really cute," Ms. Karan said later as she boarded a ferry back to Manhattan. "She reminded me of the first time I met Natalia a few years ago. She didn't speak English so well at the beginning, either." Ms. Karan was not just being unusually kind to a Russian newcomer. She was picking up on a fall trend. From fashion to film, from art to sports, New York is having a Slavic moment. Fifty years ago such a notion might have elicited images of drab clothes and empty stores. But the Russia in the air today is of a more opulent post-Soviet world, peopled by entrepreneurial businessmen, ambitious socialites, emerging artists and exotic beauties. The moment started in early September, when tennis fans at the U.S. Open became taken with a seeming horde of young female Russian players, nicknaming them the "ovas" for their similar sounding last names. Then came New York Fashion Week, with the catwalks dominated by models from Russia and Ukraine. Next the Guggenheim Museum opened "Russia!," billed as the largest collection of Slavic art to be shown outside Russia since the end of the cold war. Meanwhile the fall clothes from Anna Sui, J. Mendel, Oscar de la Renta and other designers are heavy with Slavic accents like embroidered peasant blouses, Cossack boots and military greatcoats out of "War and Peace." "A few years ago New York was all about Brazilian models, Brazilian music, Brazilian thong bikinis, and everyone was drinking caipirinhas," said Natalia Zimmer, a senior men's wear designer at Marc Jacobs who moved here from Ukraine in 1997. "But everybody's always looking for the next new thing, and maybe the next new thing is Russia." THERE'S an explanation for this, at least among fashion-forward Manhattanites. "New Yorkers love Russians because they're just like us," said Diane von Furstenberg, whose father was born in Czarist Russia. "They have so much energy and thirst and the desire to make things happen." Russian immigrants have steeped themselves in New York's melting pot ever since the first major wave of them came to the city in the late 19th century. But never before have they seemed so visible, successful and media-savvy. It has taken almost 15 years since the collapse of Communism for this new breed to light up New York's radar. A few are jet-set visitors who made their fortunes in Russia during the early 1990's, when the government privatized industries, making assets like oil refineries and steel mills available to a select few at fire sale prices. With their places now secure at home, they have turned to New York to buy apartments, do business, collect art and finance cultural institutions. The visitors are cross-pollinating with the rising stars of a new generation of post-Soviet immigrants who grew up in New York, coming of age with "Seinfeld" and "The Simpsons." But whether they are American citizens or frequent fliers here, this new wave is a far cry from the cartoon figures many New Yorkers imagine when they hear the word "Russian." They are neither insular denizens of Brighton Beach swaddled in head scarves, bull-necked mobsters in track suits, nor overdressed New Russian nouveaux riches on wild spending sprees up and down Madison Avenue. Note: There alot more to this aricle but the rest is irrelevant to Diana.
