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.

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.:

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."

aw thanks you  :kiss:  :heart:  :kiss:  :heart:  :)  I'll show you a few others if you really really want to see them lol. I can't PM them to you so I could post them in your thread when you're on (if you want them) and then take them down once you have them. I don't like the idea of my pictures being on the internet to long....creepy :|
