ANASTASSIJA MAKARENKO
MAY 2014
 

With a regal beauty and icy blue eyes that demand attention, Anastassija Makarenko is our pick for May 2014's model of the month. From Russia with love, the blonde stunner initiated her modeling career in her mid teens, after her mother sent photos of the five-foot-eleven-inch charmer to several model agencies who competed to represent the then sixteen year-old. Makarenko has since been signed by several agencies worldwide and has appeared in numerous fashion publications and advertising campaigns around the world. Currently based in Los Angeles, the statuesque beauty has been the long-time girlfriend of Hollywood star Mickey Rourke.
