  1. How much time do you want them give her??? She had 3(?) bad pictures in a row and they were not getting any better.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I know, I know...But if she takes the time now that she's off the show to figure out how to take a good picture she might be great. ;)

  2. I just read this and I love Eugenia even more. :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

    ""I started with a small agency in Russia and after that I went to

    Viva in Paris and then to DNA in New York. At first I wasn't

    thinking ...you know..about an international career. I had just

    finished school so I thought it would be nice to concentrate on

    this for a bit to see how it went. Then things started to move

    really quickly. I really loved working in Paris. It's a great city

    which I relate to very well. Then by the time I came to New York,

    things became really intense."

    Was it a lot of stress going from life in Russia to the pressure

    of cover shoots and opening Gucci shows , we query?

    Euguenia pauses, smiles as she searches for a diplomatic answer

    before exhaling slowly...

    "Uhmm, no. It's not that I don't get nervous at shoots or shows. It's

    just that there are much tougher things to deal with than

    fittings, or flying a lot y'know. No matter how tough it gets,

    there are much tougher things than this."

    What is interesting is the way Euguenia's rise testifies to the

    complexity of the global tracking system that is the modeling

    industry nowadays. The majority of client/agency activity is

    clustered around a handful of major urban capitals (NY, Paris,

    Milan, London, LA, Miami) but the speed with which a potential

    star gets tracked from a small Russian mother agency to the

    hippest shops of NY, Paris and Milan is headspinning.

    So when a valuable new player like Euguenia with her unflappable

    poise and her killer bod enters the picture, she is caught up in

    a machine that is moving even faster than in the days of Linda and

    Naomi, or for that matter Kate and Amber.:

    imn0tcreativ3: Oh how I love when way she thinks.

    Problem is the machine goes so fast now that weak girls crumble as

    if they were disposable paper dolls, never having converted their

    fifteen minutes of fame. Photographers get frustrated with the

    models who can't model with the assurance of the legends and then

    the calls go out to the Ambers and the Kates and the Carolyns.

    And so what are the long term prospects for this Euguenia?

    Again she laughs off the question.

    "I take it day by day, job by job. I really enjoy modeling and I

    want to do it for a while. I want to do it well. It's great, its an

    ...adventure "

    Out of curiousity, I ask her her sign.

    "Virgo" she offers

    Virgos. Quiet but ruthlessly ambitious. Very laid back about

    their ambition in public but stay up all night plotting their

    next move.

    Euguenia cracks up at that bit of astrogical analysis and for the

    first time her vamp goddess mask slips and the sweet schoolgirl

    in her peeks out.

    No wonder the Russian girls are running away with modeling's top

    prizes right now. In response to that observation Kate Orne offered

    "The Russian people have this depth to their culture that you can

    see in their faces, in the bone structure. You can see it in

    Euguenia's face. There's an aristocracy mixed in with the beauty.

    She has such amazing eyes!"

    And that means it's time for Kate to take her pictures. Which for

    the record are shot without a scrap of make-up, in natural light.

    "Listen sweetheart. We must shoot her in black and white. I love

    the way the shadows are falling on her face. Look at the line

    between her brow and that nose. "

    Euguenia is a part of a wave of new models built along a classic

    ideal. But it's not just a classic ideal of beauty but also about a

    classic work ideal. It's like one shrewd observer on the MDC forums

    noted: Modeling is back.

    In the words of the tipsters who emailed us "Please. No more

    model miseries. No more models who look at the camera like it

    insulted them and their mother. No more models who hate flying,

    hate modeling, hate walking runways Give us some hair tossing,

    jumping, energetic models who like modeling."

    And per that pointed prescription is a girl like Euguenia who wants

    it and consequently works it, offering the business a rare

    opportunity for a full range model, the kind who can rock a

    bikini and a showcase a couture ballgown, front a mass market

    beauty campaign and yet pose perilously for the edgiest of

    avant-chic spreads. She's formidable, this one. And she's only just

    begun."

  3. i totally love natalia! she's really gorgeous, especially her eyes. can anyone please scan the new vanity fair issue with her, carmen kass and karolina kurkova on the cover? i'd really love to see hi res scans of that!

    i was going through the article yesterday and this line by volodina really made me laugh.

    'We have beautiful eyes and skin. The Brazilians are finished'

    :p

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Are you sure you guys aren't confusing what she said with what Eugenia V. said? or maybe Russians just think alike. :D

  4. This is Nobody Not Really. Neo just fixed this account for me because it went a bit weird. ^^; I'm only 5'2". Maybe I just have long legs for a little person? o_o;

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I'm a jean addict soooooo

    sevens, citizens, rock n republic (if youre tall, they're super long), paper denim and cloth

    rock n republic; I looooove them but I'm too short and poor to actually buy them (they're like 170ish :shock: )

    I love paper denims and if you're short just cuff them once :)

    Check all of their website/store's at least one of them have to ship to the UK. As for any other clothes, I have no idea lol.

  5. LOL The UK airing is waaaay behind... we're still watching the one with Eva, Yaya, Amanda, Norelle, etc. I remember somewhere else people were saying they loved Anne and that Eva was horrible, but if you listened carefully, Eva never actually said she hoped that Norelle would fail; she just said "I hope someone else fails" and then Anne said, "Oh, so you hope Norelle fails?" and pretty much put the words in her mouth. Anne kinda insinuated that Norelle was fat, too and that Eva was a liar who pretended to be someone she's not and she didn't even hug Eva when she left. In my opinion, Anne was the nasty one; Eva never did anything wrong.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I agree; I always liked Eva all through-out. If you like her too I think you'll see more of her when the next season airs but I can't say for sure because a tiny thing airs during the commercials here. :fun:

  6. :hug: thx muffin your the best, Ive been buggin neo since before the board went live and hes too lazy to do it  <_<

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    :blush: :laugh: hehe I just had lots of time on my hands. :blush: you're welcome. :kiss: :heart: :fun:

  7. Some parts of that were funny but she kind of made Adriana seem like a bitch, but I guess I understand how she took it the wrong way. :ninja:

    I'm not sure about the carpet as an ashtray thing though...I used to smoke and everyone that would smoke in my house would carry around an ashtray with them because it's gross to leave it around. :laugh:

    Don't smoke

  8. Sometimes the site lags in telling you what people are doing.

    Like when someone is typing a response and it just told me my friend was still signed in for about 5 minutes after she was off-line..
