interview:

ELLE: you know,the most beautiful women of the world,says that they were ugly ducklings in their childhood,and what about you ???

BAR: contrary,my mom always tells me,I was very beautiful kid.in fact I look exactly as I used to look at the age of 5.of course my boobs are bigger,but all the other parts of me didn't changed a lot.

ELLE: what is your beauty for you ???

BAR: mostly I take attention on internal beauty.

ELLE: but if we talk about the foreign beauty,what do you think,are you beautiful ???

BAR: I maybe will say "Yes".

ELLE: how would you described the type of your appearance ???

BAR: I would say "Healthy".

ELLE: very well,this word suits you a lot! and how did you achieved this effect of health ???

BAR: very easily - good night sleep (good sleep at night).and in the morning I take the shower and feel great.

ELLE: do you have any recipe for internal beauty ???

BER: I'm trying to be good person,good friend and be happy,cuz I think it reflects to all the people around you: when you're happy all the people around you are happy,you must be grateful for all you've got,for people you've got around and you love.

ELLE: are you happy now ???

BAR: yes.

ELLE: what the feature you like about yourself most of all ???

BAR: I'm even sure I can call it feature... you know I love all the things that related to the concept of family.I spent great time with close people,when I invite friends home.I don't want to go to the parties and don't even arise the desire to know new people.I feel very good with my little family,with my mom, dad and three brothers.

ELLE: wow small family,you've got older brothers or younger,how old are they ???

BAR: 35, 24 and 14.

ELLE: a perfect evening is ...

BAR: an evening with family,dogs and friends.Barbecue, all the beer, hummus.

ELLE: do you have many dogs ???

BAR: Rottweiler, Jack Russell Terrier and two Pekingese.

ELLE: aha,understood. three brothers and four dogs - this is a small family,and beer and hummus - maybe right food.

BAR: all the people must know their body,what's helpful for it and what's not. I'm not very well from the greasy fried and fatty.of course I may eat French fries (laughs),but only once in a week. I feel much better when I eat healthy food:vegetables, chicken, olive oil.

ELLE: how does your work-day pass ???

BAR: I wake up five minutes before they must be in the car, put on gym costume,brush my teeth and eat.

ELLE: a water,coffee and grapefruit ???

BAR: no.then until they make my hair and make-up,I finally wake up,drink coffee,eat something and start working.

ELLE: so many girls dream to be a model.which one is mostly in your life - hard work or brilliance ???

BAR: modeling is very hard job.whole life of the road,you need to get up early and work till the late.you must be very disciplined.it's not easy when you're not ready for this.there's no word,this job gave me self-confidence.but it happens and contrariwise - this profession maybe affect bad on self-esteem.however, work in an office nine to five, too easy.tell you exactly,working as a model isn't luxury anymore.

ELLE: what you feel,when people recognize you in the streets ???

BAR: I'm embarrassed.

ELLE: are you gonna take a bodyguard ???

BAR: no no.I think it's very Russian! (laughs).most of the bodyguards are Russian in Israel.really seriously.

ELLE: ha-ha,willingly I believe you.what do you think,could you be a housewife, who from morning to night,goes to spa ???

BAR: no.I think,if it did not work, would be very unhappy,pathetic, lazy.and so would have looked.working is absolutely necessary,even if you have the whole money of the world.

ELLE: what will you do,when you finish modeling career ???

BAR: My main activity will be motherhood,I also want to learn architect and design - I'm very interested in it,also psychology.I really want to know a loot about different religions.love picturesque a lot.

ELLE: mmm, so many interests,have you ever tried to draw ???

BAR: no,I very much love looking at talented people's paintings and afraid a lot that I can't draw as good as they do.

ELLE: well,you can create excellent images.Is there any role in movies,you'd like to play ???

BAR: I'd like to play in romantic comedy.Well I'm not dreaming about becoming new Meryl Streep or getting an Oscar.I just want to play in cheerful movie,just like the movie,I love watching - about love,but not very serious.the movies like Jeniffer Aniston usually plays.

ELLE: whether to change your makeup looks ???

BAR: oh yes.without make-up I feel so naturally,but by nature I am modest and shy.with make-up I'm different person and ready to play the role,which is necessary for specific moment.

ELLE: if you are asked to leave only one make-up thing with you,which one would you chose ???

BAR: Eyelash curlers.it is necessary for each girl,if nature had not awarded her with long curling eyelashes.I've got blond hair,and short,direct eyelashes,and when I use it I feel absolutely different person.

ELLE: and what about clothes ??? you've got any of them,in which you feel special ???

BAR: I love simple clothes,jeans and T-Shirts.I think,for some stupid reason all the women feel herself best in full dresses (laughs).I usually buy beautiful dresses,despite of I don't even need them anymore and know that will never ever wear them,I just love shopping and as a result I always wear jeans and T-Shirts (laughs).

ELLE: do you have favorite designer ???

BAR: Stella McCartney,her clothes are very simple and convenient,very womanly but somehow boyish.

ELLE: it seems you love simple jewelry.

BAR: Yes. (shows her thin gold ring in a chain.)I love little and original jewelry:Pendant, Bracelet or Ring,which isn't conspicuous.gigantic jewelry and brilliats _ it's not mine.

ELLE: you are so wise reasoning girl! but you should have some vices.tell us about your secret vices.

BAR: I'm mad about sun,love sunbathe,but lazy to use sunscreen.I know that i have to use it.

ELLE: please take care of yourself.can you tell us 5 or ten thing that you love the most in your life ??? besides the sun,we already know how you love it.

BAR: OK.Let's try.I love family,friends,reading,traveling, I love ... (I don't know to say it or not,cuz it maybe sounds strange) ... how many things in life you can feel. I also love animals and sense of home.for example,in hotel I've got all my thing around,computer,clothes-and to feel like home I brew tea.and instead of a spa,I can sit in pastels in rainy day during few hours.I like it very much and that' how I pet myself.

ELLE: you must have amazing mom,few people can graft their children with such love at home.

BAR: yes,I am delighted for my mom.she's very strong woman.I admire that she can hold the house and family.she's got everything in control.

ELLE: what do you think about Russian women ???

BAR: I think they embody our view about how the woman must be: strong,sexy,confident.they attract you,they've got such strength,I even can't find the world,but when you look at them you say: "this is the woman!" (laughs).

ELLE:have you ever been in Russia ???

BAR: no,but I want a lot.I'm going to do it this year.I've heard many interesting things about Moscow and ST.Petersburg! (interesting if Leo had told her about Northern Capital - Journalist of ELLE) I'm looking forward a time to finally see it with my eyes.

ELLE: looking forward to see you!

She looks totally incredible!!! SHe got two covers - so I just can`t understand which one I prefer more!! =p

THE PICTURES FROM ELLE RUSSIA ARE SIMPLY STUNNING! It's been a while since I've seen photos of such quality and elegance. Bar sure represents style, refinement and authentic beauty! The clothes are also so gorgeous.

Thanks Roxee and emily and everyone who shared pictures!

Thanks Palmina for the new pictures of Bar in LA. Love her womanly shape... it's such a refreshing change wo see a model with meat on her thighs and hips!

... and Sick, Thanks a lot for the first part of the translated article. It is very, very appreciated! I always love to read Bar's interviews!

Thanks everyone for all the news and photos and the interview!

My favorite ELLE photo is the one in the shorter dress, she looks a little like Monroe!!

Ugh, I just cant stand those JustJared-haters!

Wonder what they look like when they are eating after a work-out

Ugh, I just cant stand those JustJared-haters!

Wonder what they look like when they are eating after a work-out

their problem in JJ is jealousy and because they are unhappy and NOT loved people!

and WOW, this is the most amazing and glamorous photoshoot Bar have made in her career until now! She looks perfect, the clothes, her hair, the make up, everything is just flawless!

thanks everyone for the pics and thanks sick for the translation!

I edited my post and now you can read the full interview

enjoy!

Thanks for the interview!!She is always talking about her family and her desire to be a mother. Very lovely and sweet!

Since Bar and Leo are together in LA again..

When are the oscars??

Could it be that Leo's bringing Bar??

I assume they won't walk the red carpet together, but maybe we can see pictures of after-parties and stuff

Thank you very, very much, Sick for the whole translated article. It is very generous of you and we greatly appreciate your efforts for posting it here.

As expected, Bar gave very cautious and safe answers. Like all celebrities who refuse to reveal private matters in their lives, the interview was probably discussed in advance with her PR or agent. And it seems obvious that it was done in Israel as she talks as usual about her brothers, her mom, her friends, how she loves healthy food, her simple make-up... all the stuff she generally mentions in interviews. That's ok. I wonder when in the coming year she plans to go to Russia.

thank u sick

Thanks so much Sick for the translation. It is so appreciated!!

Shes so sweet in all these interviews. She seems like shes so nice,down to earth and a go-with-the-flow type of person. Its great to here Bar talking about motherhood, and talk about simple things. She seems like she would make such a great mom!

Poor Bar, when you are a celebrity and constantly under the watchful eye of the paparazzi, chances are you’re going to get caught with your mouth open eating ... the tooth stick moment is very unfortunate.

But looks like she has lost weight and she looks cute.

Thanks fashiondream for more pics!

And yeah it is unfortunate that she got pictures taken of her when she was busy eating, not the most flattering pic of Bar, But it only shows shes human like us!

Sightings: http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/sightings_...7nkJQbj56TP0ctL

... LEONARDO DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli watching Kanye West perform from the DJ booth with friends DJ Cassidy and Q-Tip at Nike basketball's event at Drai's Hollywood on Friday night . . .

Sick, thank you so very much for translating the Elle interview!

-More about Elle cover:

Bar Refaeli, who I usually associate with aggressive sexual attraction, looks rather delicate and feminine on the cover of Elle Russia March 2011 issue. The Israeli model wears a white lace Dolce&Gabbana dress for the front page.

The entire pictorial for Elle Russia March 2011 edition looks wonderful. Bar is featured in pretty and tempting dresses from Chanel, D&G, Yves Saint Laurent and other fabulous designs. All the outfits are very elegant and sophisticated.

your welcome girls!

thanks fash for more pics,well this isn't good pics but she's a human just like us

thanks Roxee for link and new info
