I think many of our readers, and of our readers as well, in one way or another, have heard about the show "Top Model in Russian", the domestic version of the famous show "Top Model in American" with Tyra Banks. Today the questions of the magazine mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ are answered participant of the third season of the show "Top Model in Russian" Natalia Pampukha... Natalia, although she is not a winner, will surely be remembered by those who watched the show. Natalia is a bright and undoubtedly beautiful girl and model. But she's not just a model, she's a plus size model. Natalia hails from St. Petersburg, received an art history education, she writes a blog on LiveJournal and Twitter.

1.Natalya, please tell us your parameters (height, weight, clothing size) for our readers.

Hello. My parameters are 118-94-120 - I have a good proportional figure, which I am happy with. I wear size 56. But the main thing, dear girls, is not the size - but your condition in general - to be in good shape and take care of yourself. For me, as well as for girls of generally accepted model sizes, it is important to maintain a waist and good skin condition.

2. Did you work as a model before the show "Top Model in Russian"? Was the profession of a model a dream for you or did it just happen?

Today, working as a Plus model is the meaning of my life and what I am constantly improving. But I can't say that I dreamed about it since childhood. It's just that at one point a year and a half ago I realized that I like acting and, more importantly, I'm good at it. As Coco Chanel said: “An ugly figure is a figure scared from head to toe,” so the main thing is how you carry yourself.

3. Participation in the show "Top Model in Russian". What did you expect from this project? And what did he give you?

Participation in the show is a great success, a winning card that I and 13 other girls drew. Moreover, I am the first plus model to take part in the Russian version of the popular American show. “Top Model in Russian” is a very difficult test for professionalism and love for your profession. At the show, I was able to reveal my new facets, try myself in new images that I might have been afraid to show before. In general, I am grateful to the entire team of the show for the unique opportunity to learn from the best masters of the industry.

4. What advice can you give to plus size girls who dream of becoming models?

My advice is this: do not put yourself inhibited! Do what you really want to do, and as a good friend I met on the show said, “At first it was very difficult for me to get used to the idea that I didn't have to be liked by everyone. But when I got used to it, it became much easier to live. " So, dear girls, if you like modeling, go to work! Of course, plus-size modeling is just developing in Russia, but the more you will contribute to the promotion of the industry of non-standard sizes.

5.Natalya, what do you think a truly handsome person should be? What, in your opinion, is beauty?

My views are in no way at odds with the general. A handsome man is one who shines from within, who lives in harmony with himself. Beauty is not centimeters. Love yourself and you will be loved and beautiful to those around you.

6. Your motto for life.

I will end with the words of the beautiful Merlin Monroe: ““ Life isn't about finding yourself. it's about creating yourself "(And my free translation:" Don't look for yourself, act! ").
