Her path to the «top of Mount Olympus» was not fabulous and easy, but the girl has achieved her dream, and now her name is known not only in the native country. Having made herself, and her name is recognizable in the world, she is not going to «give her place under the sun» to others. Because «Slavic girls - the most beautiful in the world», and our models are a vivid example of this!

CHRISTINA MASTEROVA: "SNOWBOARD IS MY VERSUS!"
Serious and purposeful, sometimes even frightening with her ambitions. Since childhood, she began to develop quickly. This girl can be compared with an expensive sport car, which rushes to its aim at a such speed and is independent on all those who stand on the sidelines, and takes away all who stand in the way of burning beauty. She leads an active lifestyle. Mistress of mountains and snow avalanches. Snowboard - her element! Many would be surprised what you can find in her heart and thoughts. There, she is vulnerable and sentimental, soft and very sensual. However, Kristina so carefully protects her personal experience, that gives the impression of an independent nature, who is not afraid of anything or anyone. She really knows what she wants. Sets challenging tasks and executes them boldly, trying to enjoy life to the maximum, without a regret.
SUPERMODEL ANNA TIMOSHCHUK TOLD THE MODNY DOM MAGAZINE ABOUT THE WORKHOUSES OF THE MODEL
Аnna, Tell us briefly about your family, it is interesting as «the Steel Was Tempered», what principles in the education did your parents follow to?
My family is now in another city far away from me. But this does not affect our intimate fellowship. Relationships with family have always been warm. My parents have never used extreme measures as punishment, but have always been quite strict with me in certain situations. Probably only with time you can understand the past situation or certain actions of parents.
What are the 3 most powerful features of the character for which you are grateful to your parents?
Since moderate strictness in my education had still presented, it helped to extend such traits as the dedication, discipline and kindness in my character. For that I am very grateful to my parents.
My goal - is to find that balance between the own development, self-care and caring for my husband, children and
home.
Anna, tell me, how did your passion for modeling begin and how did you get into the modeling business?
I like beautiful magazine covers and slim girls on the photos since childhood. I always wanted to be one of them, but never put it as my main purpose. My interest in modeling started from a trip to Moscow, even from several shootings, for which I was invited. Since that time, this sphere of activity will always be associated with Moscow.
How serious are your intentions in modeling? Do you plan to conquer the world’s catwalks?
Once got in the circulation of the fashion industry, I had the opportunity to realize myself in many ways. But over time I realized that my passion are photo projects. This is where I really see myself and I think I do it not so bad. Because there are a lot of shootings on my experience. Always open for new and interesting projects.
What do you do, I mean, seriously do besides modeling? Are you studying?
You’re absolutely right, modeling is only one of the stages of my self-realization. In addition, I receive education in one of the most prestigious universities of the capital - the KNU named after Shevchenko, faculty of foreign languages. And in the future I am planning to link my profession with these acquired skills.
Why exactly this choice?
The importance of knowing foreign languages cannot be overemphasized in today’s world. Especially for people planning to travel around the world and communicate with people of other nationalities. As for me, I always see a perfect symbiosis between the passion of modeling and the studying of languages. In my opinion, the first without the second cannot do. Besides, I always like to travel. So my choice was obvious.
How did your great love to travel begin? Do you remember the country what you have visited for the first time?
For me, traveling - something more than a regular stamp in the passport, which is a widespread tendency in the contemporary world. By the choice of the following places, I relate with a great curiosity. I always carefully plan each trip. A country in which I first planned to get – was, not strange, America. For personal reasons I could not go there, so it is still a dream for me.
Which countries do you want to visit in the near future, and why?
As I have already told you, the first country - is America, after all the difficulties my desire become even stronger. Also I would like to visit Greece and Norway. Hopefully soon the dream will come true.
Your passion for photography, is it also in some way connected with modeling business?
No, it is not related. I like taking photographs in addition to modeling. This love I have carried since childhood. I’m glad that now I managed to realize it.
Are you a sports girl? Which sport do you prefer and why?
Yes, the sport has always been an integral part of my life. Brought up in me such qualities as patience and endurance. It is always a guarantee of excellent shape and a nice feeling. I find it difficult to give preference to one kind, if it’s possible I try to combine different sports. There are gym, pilates classes and swimming in my schedule.

Yulia Frey on the cover of the 14th issue of the MODNY DOM magazine
M.D.: You took part in beauty contests since childhood. As a kid you perceive the increased attention to your «mini»-person?
Y.F.: We all know the saying - «in still water ...». If we draw a parallel with me, as a child I was an ordinary humble one. But as soon as I set foot on the stage as in me a passion woke or, as it is said, the willingness to win. You go to the scene, chaining the view to yourself, the blood rushes to your head and you collect all the will in a fist just in order to conquer the summit and climb on the podium of beauty! This feeling accompanies and motivates me in my life to this day. And that’s why again and again I want to return to the stage to feel all these once more.
M.D.: How an early appearance, in your opinion, has influenced your carefree child’s life, or it was not so «carefree»?
Y.F.: The girls are quite fragile and vulnerable at such a tender age. Their timidity and shyness do not give a complete feel of a beautiful girl. But my parents, many thanks to them, instilled in me a love not only for one’s neighbor, but also to myself, that helped me further to reveal myself deeper, to overcome my uncertainty somewhere inherent in me. After all, everything in life is based on the principle of the chain, if you ever begin to doubt in yourself, you will sow a doubt in the eyes of others.
M.D.: At what point did you realize that you like writing and you are ready to devote yourself to journalism?
Y.F.: I always try seriously to take any situation. It seems to me that in everyone’s life comes a moment when it is worth considering - if you’re ready to devote all your life to something? My parents developed me comprehensively, and one of my major hobbies was professional occupation of modern variety dances. Dancing these 8 years, as part of the show-ballet, we have won many regional, national and international competitions. But over time I realized that dancing - this is my soul, and mind tends to something more serious. I had a gift of writing, so it was a time to improve this talent.
Modern girls follow the principle: the more frank and bright outfit they will wear - more noticeable will be in the crowd. I’m of the opinion of Coco Chanel: «If you are astonished by the beauty of any woman, but you cannot remember what she was wearing - she then was dressed perfectly.» For me naturalness is always important, you know, it is a rarity these days. I have never understood girls who were trying to be like others. Recently I came across a phrase: «Do not be pathetic copy, because you were born an original.» The main thing is confidence, charm and charisma.
M.D.: The image of a modern girl - Desperate Housewife or steel business woman?
Y.F.: History shows that women have always had to adapt. From housewives in the Middle Ages to the feminists defending their rights. We are always lack of something - power, fame and recognition. We want everything at once, and get what we want. And the 21st century, women have learned to combine the two concepts and they are very good at it.
M.D.: Are there any qualities that you would like to exterminate?
Y.F.: I want to get rid of the habit of self-analysis and criticism of my personality. I would like to be able to let go of the past and sometimes to take things easier. But due to my character, it is not always so easy for me. I work hard on it.
M.D.: Do you think the «perfectionism» - it is an illusion to which we aspire to, or still, it’s really to achieve the ideal?
Y.F.: Ask anyone what the ideal - and you will get different answers. The conclusion is that this concept is quite individual, and everyone puts their vision of it. Accordingly, in the eyes of a person you will be excellent, and the other will not even notice your «highlights». But this does not mean that you should not strive for self-improvement and development. Always try to be better due to your abilities and opportunities.
M.D.: The sources of your inspiration - this is ...?
Y.F.: These are the people whom I admire, my ideals. They are for me both a motivation and stimulus, and an example of inheritance. We all have weaknesses, and at times they have manifested. At such moments exactly the life stories are able to raise the spirit. Sometimes the power of the spirit can effect on you, and to encourage to some personal accomplishments and victories. Do not be afraid to go beyond your surroundings, there are so many exciting people worthy of your attention.
M.D.: Do you agree with the statement that money spoil man?
Y.F.: With this I do not agree, the money likely show the true face of man. The main thing is how to use them. Someone cares only about his comfort, and someone helps another and engaged in charity. It is worth remembering that wealth - is incoming and outgoing. Today you control a situation and you have everything but you can have nothing tomorrow. This teaches us that it is always necessary to be a person if you have a huge fortune or a penny in your pocket.
M.D.: Have you ever had in your life turning moments, which later will affect your destiny?
Y.F.: As I have already recalled, dancing meant a lot to me. And having reached certain heights, it is very difficult to get off the «playing field». Because I think the turning moment it’s when I decided to leave my great passion, and devote myself to their future profession. My definition includes a sense of doubt whether I would regret later. Now I will say only one thing, it was incredibly difficult, but now I do not regret about nothing. Because of my choice, I’m where I wanted to be. The main thing is not afraid to go out of your comfort zone and discover something new.
M.D.: Do you have a secret seduction of men?
Y.F.: Every girl in herself is the secret that the man is trying to solve. The main thing to be able to present yourself in the proper way. I’ll tell you one thing - you have to be sincere and genuine. And to your «present» was «interesting» and «attractive» for men, you need to work hard on yourself and develop. That’s all my secret!
M.D.: You are a sport girl. Which kind of sport do you prefer?
Y.F.: For me, sport - not the way to stay slim and fit, or rather, it is not my ultimate goal. I love to ski. Having tried almost all kinds of sports, I chose this one with a purpose. To be truth, everything is relative (laughs). I love the mountains, I love the fresh air, I love the feeling of height and when land runs out of my feet when I am on the speed. The feeling of weightlessness and «the wind in your hair.» It is worth living!
M.D.: How do you feel about children?
Y.F.: I just love children! We need to learn to live from them, they are great psychologists (laughs). I quite often have to observe a picture when the baby on the floor of the store beats in hysterics, demanding to buy a new toy ... Great Paulo Coelho once said that «only a child can teach an adult to insist on». But this is really what we adults often do not have enough. And if each of us adults, having a goal, strive hard to it, some lives would have been much more successful!
M.D.: Your big goal is also somehow connected with the children?
Y.F.: Yes, you correctly said, it is not a dream but a big goal ... I dream to open in Moscow real Disneylend, where the entrance will be free for orphans!
ALENA OVALI: "The art of being a woman"
Our guest is feminine, bright, charismatic with an incredibly beautiful and radiant smile Alena Ovali. Photo-model and loving mother immediately wins hearts at the first meeting. And no wonder, because when dealing with this girl, you will immediately feel the positive energy, which attracts and energizes others, this is due to a simple, but mutual love for life, for people, for the world.
We decided to ask a few questions to Alena, and that’s what she told us …
M.D.: Alena, last year you pleased fans, appearing in several advertising campaigns as a brilliant photo-model and were a welcome guest on the presentations in Odessa and Kiev. And now you rarely attend such events. What has changed?
A.O.: Despite my full and active life rhythm, I always find time for my friends, family, loved ones, and try to prioritize correctly: now more and more time is devoted to dialogue with them and loved the house. Now I’m really happy and my real pride and joy is always near me - it is my son Denis! He is 14, and I believe that it is not difficult, as many think, but an interesting age. To continue to be friends, it is important to understand each other and a lot to talk, have a common interest. For example, he is now interested in professional football, and I see that he is very good at this. And I see how it is important for him my support during training and games. By the way, I do it with pleasure: football - very firing game in terms of emotions and experiences (before I did not think so - smiles).
M.D.: Judging by the fact that your eyes shine with happiness, we can safely suppose that in addition to the house you do what you like, which can be considered a the business of your life?
A.O.: My job - this is my hobby and a part of my life. Tourism, like any journey, fills and inspires. Coming into contact with the culture of different countries, customs, religion, new places, person always opens something new. Isn’t it wonderful? I enjoy traveling! New places and the feeling of traveling by itself- that’s what always gives a feeling of boundless freedom and releases from worries and everyday life.
We would like to note that Alena, despite her external elegance and fragility, quite confident woman who has an open heart, the love of herself and others, the ability to appreciate and respect herself. In addition, in this incredibly sexy and smart girl, the perfect combination of female wisdom and the ability to reach out to everyone. These qualities are very important in the modern world.
M.D.: Many people ask: «How do you manage to combine femininity, beauty and active business life». Share the secret?
A.O.: Putting hand on heart, I will honestly answer: I had to give up many tourist destinations, because most of my time I dedicate to myself and loved ones. From the business I remain the curator in the tourist business, happy to share my knowledge with those who are looking for new experiences and willing to discover the world. In addition, as previously told press, I still give master classes for young ladies in the Kiev school of style. I’m sure that the secret of my success lies in a very simple formula: it is necessary to give the world more than trying to get and to do everything according to conscience and never be lazy. If you stick to this simple rule, that things are going well.
M.D.: Alena, tell us what else you are fond of and how do you spend your free time?
A.O.: My horoscope significantly influences on my character, thanks to this, I am very persistent, hardworking and love to discover something new. I am very interested in cultural studies, do yoga, develop myself in the beauty industry, like an image maker and stylist, fond of design and floristry. Also I love to work with people, teaching them to feel their beauty. I consider the most profitable investment - an investment in yourself. Therefore, I do not stop learning, improving my skills and developing: I do not only learn, but also practice, use and share learning information! It fills me.
M.D.: Alena, and finally: what music do you listen to? What is now in the playlist?
A.O.: You know, I prefer to listen to music based on mood, so from time to time vary the composition. Sometimes it can be a calm, quiet and romantic music, and sometimes - the energetic pop or dance. Songs will not be enumerated , but I can say the main artists that I like: Maroon 5, Adele, Rihanna, Joe Cocker, Celin Dion, Sting and many others. I like how modern artists, as well as those that can be safely called the creators of the history of music.

M.D.:Veronika, hello. Let’s begin our interview. You are a singer, actress, model ... And who are you more? or you haven’t decided yet?
V.V.: Hello, I’m very artsy person, I’ve been singing since I was little, I got into acting not a while ago and modeling is just exciting experience for me. I don’t see myself as a supermodel, although I do like photoshoots but definitely wouldn’t be able to work as a model full time, mainly because there is no creative output in it for me. On the other side, I can spend hours on the studios recording or nights at the rehearsals.
M.D.: Where are you from? Tell us briefly about your childhood and family. It would be interesting to know how such an extraordinary person was grown?
V.V.:I was born and raised in Kaliningard, Russia, small beautiful city by the Baltic Sea. I grew up without my father but my mom was an amazing mother a child only could ask for. She helped me overcome aftermath of the car accident I’ve gotten into when I was 5 years old, as doctors promised it will forever affect my nervous system, she decided that immersing me into the arts might help with my Injury. A year later I had my first stage performance.
M.D.: You moved to New York. Why America, why this city? Tell us about your great love for megacities?
V.V.: Yes, it will be 5 years in October since I moved here. To be honest I never thought I will end up living in United States. I always wanted to move to a bigger city like Moscow just so I can get more career opportunities and more freedom but at that point of my life I’ve got into serious relationship and it was very hard to keep them in long distance so I made a decision to move there. From the first sight new york’s craziness scared me, I lived far enough but would visit it once in a while. Eventually I haven’t even noticed how I completely fell in love with the city, to the point I decided to move as much closer as I could.
M.D.: As I understand at the moment you combine studying and work. Where does such a fragile girl find so much energy and excitement, so much love, and the will for life?
V.V.: As soon as I reach the new top I start looking for the new goal right away. I am never satisfy with what I have, I always believe that I can do more and better. For that a lot of people trying to slow me down and suggesting I should take a break, but I’m never tired, I believe that this world has so much to show to us that every single day is a new story and I want to find out as much as possible about all this gifts life is holding for us.
M.D.: How and when do you find time to relax and recharge with such a tough schedule?V.V.: It is very crucial for me to restore my strength and energy balance. Whenever I have some free time I always try to spend time with the nature.

Self-care is important for me as well as it helps me to restore my feminine energy.
M.D.: At this moment you are at your last year at NJCU (New Jersey city university) of Musical Theatre Program. What will change once you get your degree in this specialty and what do you expect after graduation?
V.V.: Honestly, nothing will dramatically change for me. I just will have more free time to go to auditions but as I am a big believer that we should be learning throughout all our life, I still will be taking some type of classes to improve my art, I still will be seeking for opportunities to get better at what I do. At the moment I also became very interested in health and nutrition study and even decided to get certification as a holistic nutritionist.
M.D.: In addition to studying, you develop a successful career as a model, working under contract with one of the leading modeling agencies of America, msa models. Are you satisfied with the working conditions in your agency?
V.V.: I didn’t start as a model with Msa, my story is quite exceptional. I always was curious how it is on the other side of the modeling business so I got hired as intern for the office in Manhattan, months later some clients sent in some samples and we had no models at the office at that moment to try them on so I end up trying them on, next day I sign up my contract with the agency and dropped the intern position.
M.D.: Besides working and studying, you find time for you big passion - singing, we know that you are working on your first album now. How will you call it? What style are you working on and who helps you with the singles recording?

The style is various since it’s the first album so there are lot of experiments with the rhythms and sounds, but definitely you will be able to hear some pop sounds in it.
M.D.: Moving to the new city, you for sure have brought the most necessary things with you. Is there something that you have that reminds you of your home and family?
V.V.: Living in the time of the most innovative technologies I didn’t even have to bring anything with me to remind me of home, Im constantly talking and texting with my parents on the phone, even do video chats with them sometimes. The only thing I miss sometimes is Russian food. When I feel nostalgic about it, I just visit my favorite Russian spots in Manhattan, which always have the great vibe.
M.D.: And what are the principles and rules of your life that you will never change even when changing the location and living conditions?
V.V.: The most important rule in my life that I follow is never expect anything from anyone, always rely on yourself. This, so far, helped me to adapt to any situation or circumstance in my life. It helps not to raise your hopes and expectations and don’t feel upset when they are not met. Besides, we can’t know for sure what’s going on in other people’s lives and why they act the way they do.
M.D.: There is a statement that every person on earth has their own destiny. Do you believe in it? If so - what is the mission in your life?

Being on stage for me it’s a great responsibility, I want for that short period of time while people watching me, make them happier, make them forget any problems or sadness they are dealing with.

M.D.: What, in addition to good physical shape, do the exercises give you?
V.V.: I do, sport is a huge part of my life. I do up to 4 trainings per week and adding cardio exercises to it regularly, but I rather do running outdoors, especially love to run along the ocean boardwalk.

M.D.: What can you advise young women who are planning to move abroad?
V.V.: Moving abroad is a very tough step since it’s changing all your perspective on your life, home country and people around you. You have to take a responsible decision that it’s exactly what you want because there are gonna be a lot of difficulties along way. First, you’ll start thinking that you made a mistake, every single thing will be compared by you with the way it is back home, your consciousness will be fighting every moment with «wrongness» of the new culture, language, traditions. But trust me, once you start accepting yourself as a part of this new world, you’ll realize that is not wrong, it’s just «different». So my advice - keep patience and stay positive about changes in your life.

Remember yourself in the childhood?
I was the workaholic in my childhood, the child who tried to do all the best, but without real talents. Since early childhood I have known everything about me and environment. I was that type of the child, who grew early. I understood what was good and what was bad. I liked to be in the centre of the attention, but it was not very often for me. Since early childhood of mine I felt that I was not unique and trying to be original I achieved the aim by my work and knowledge. That’s why the rod of senity was grown inside of me. Which I use today. When I was a child I had a dream to become the trainer of sport dancing. I am still like this grace kind of sport. I hae been gone in for sport dancing from 7 years old till 15. And due to it my figure became sporty and slim, which is good for the job in model business.
What can you say about you at the teen age?
When I was teenager the wish to be noticed was grown. I tried to do all my best to stand out and to give the good example for my peers. I went in for charity and dinners of the organ music. I took part in the dramatic performances and wrote poems, but i could not find my real place my avocation! It was very important for me to find myself. About when i was 15 years old I saw the channel of Fashion TV at first time. Then I understood, that I could to go across the caltwalk demonstrating the beautiful nice evening-dresses by couture very well too. And that my appearance is on the same level that the appearance of other models of this fashion channel. In 2years I wan the regional competition of beauty Ford Super Models, where I was noticed by the foreign scouts - managers of the agencies, who looking through new models. In several months I signed the contract with the agencies in Milan, Paris and New York.
What is your life-statement?
I do not have the life-statement for every day. Life is very multifaceted, and we can not use the same statement which we like. But I have one proverb which I like more. This proverb was proclaimed by the medieval episcopate Franciska Salsky «Rien par force, tout par amour». The literal translation from french (nothing by force, everything by love).
Who was your idol?
I did not have idols and do not have. I never wanted to be simmilar to smb. There were not posters with the celebrities, I lived in another world, where I wanted to be myself and work under my achievements. But now with ages I understand that I have that person, who is someone to be. Who is an example. This is my husband - Omar Harfouch. He taught me a lot, and only with him I built the model of life which I represented in my childhood.
