December 2, 201014 yr WOW! via ANV Cavalli dress. Russian model Natalia Vodianova © celebrates with members of the Russian delegation after FIFA President Sepp Blatter announced that Russia will host the 2018 World Cup on December 2, 2010 at the FIFA headquarters in Zurich. England, Russia, Netherlands/Belgium and Spain/Portugal were all bidding to hold the 2018 World Cup. ----- More via ANV
December 3, 201014 yr can someone explain about natalia and the whole bidding?On top of technical plans, schedules and projects, the countries have to basically convince FIFA that they can promote a great show. It's not a matter of just organizing matches. It's the whole spectacle. And business - big, big, big business. FIFA expects the hosts to make the most of the occasion, so that's what Russia had to show. Natalia is Ambassador for the Socchi Games already; she's also famous, accomplished, has an outstanding professional profile and is engaged into promoting Russia abroad. I can only guess she was invited to be part of the Russian delegation because of all that, and also because she represents the modern Russia. Natalia lent her face and credentials to the bidding - it was a campaign, after all. I must say, I watched the whole presentation and was very impressed by it. Judging by what the Russians did during the Olympic Games (although it was another time, another era), I can only suppose they're going to offer a tight, well organized, very entartaining World Cup. It was a fair decision - and long overdue!
December 3, 201014 yr Ah, thank you for your warm words about my country, acfr1968! but to follow on this somewhat off-side topic, I agree that it is long over-due. I was so tiny when the last Olympics, held in Russia, happened (1980) and it was a great one! I will never forget its ending and that music, it reality was uniting. Worth watching on the youtube at a spare moment.

Worth watching on the youtube at a spare moment. It's true, pautinka. I'll never forget the opening and closing cerimonies in 1980. Mischa is probably one of the all time top mascots ever. Really cute. On another completely different matter: 1) Just browsed UK Haper's Bazaar Jan 2011 issue. They have a whole article with pictures dedicated to Tom Ford's show in New York ("Mr. Tom Ford's back"), but Natalia. Another major disappointment... 2) Natalia was wearing Roberto Cavalli yesterday, in Zurich. She did catwalk for Cavalli in Milan. Do you guys think there might be a possibility she can snatch a Cavalli ad campaign? Just wondering. You know, last time she was seen orbiting the Louis Vuitton scene, she had already been signed for the LV 2010-11 FW campaign. Cavalli would be really cool, I think. It's one of my favourite designers. http://www.facebook.com/RobertoCavalli/posts/111710918897324
December 3, 201014 yr thanks you so much acrf for explaining to me I still wish that natalia does something different with her hair at least put it in pony tail
December 3, 201014 yr Natalia Vodianova helps the Russian World Cup 2018 bid Lucky Charm Lauren Milligan 03 December 2010 SHE may have an English husband, and three children born here, but yesterday supermodel Natalia Vodianova was lending some much-needed glamour to the World Cup bid of her native Russia. The Vogue cover girl's presence obviously had the desired impact since - despite the attendance of David Beckham, Prime Minister David Cameron and the Prince of Wales on behalf of England's bid - Russia won the FIFA vote and will host the World Cup in 2018. Vodianova attended as part of a delegation which saw Russia triumph over bids from England, a joint bid from Belgium and the Netherlands and a joint bid from Portugal and Spain. Russia's Prime Minister, and former President, Vladimir Putin did not attend yesterday's announcement in Zurich. Russia's World Cup will be hosted by 14 cities in the largest country in the world, including St. Petersburg, Moscow and Sochi. The country will now have to embark on a stadium-building project as it currently has no 80,000-seater stadiums.

Carolyn Murphy - $3.5 million I honestly, truly, desperately don't get this list. Whatever Natalia does, no matter how many new contracts she signs, her position doesn't bulge. But, ok, I won't pretend I understand this whole calculation, 'cause I don't.
December 3, 201014 yr thanks so much ariti natalia looks so fine i love when she dosent try so hard with bare face and casual clothes
