 Alisa, hello. You look great! I wonder if you consider yourself beautiful?

 Yes, of course!

 So, right, and even without a doubt?

 Of course! If doubted - I would have said straightly.

 Who taught you this –parents or school?

 You know, it happened somehow, no one taught me this, just prefer to be honest - it is easier to live.

 All in all, it is correct point of view, but, unfortunately, difficult to defend it... And when did you first feel yourself beautiful?

 Yeah, I always knew it! Even was surprised that others did not notice it.

From kindergarten?

 I think even earlier.

 And who first told you about this?

 To be honest, I was told about this rarely - whether shy or simply do not want or may be do not consider me.

 You are a successful woman, founder and director of the creative school, mother of three beautiful children, and, in addition, the Queen of Beauty. Did your self-confidence lead to success or success created confidence?

 A hen or an egg? (Laughs). I do not know! Actually, all these are not still enough for me - confidence and success!

 And plans for the future, of course, are also royal?

 As well as any Queen has..! (Laughs)

You became such by yourself and teach girls in the school to be beautiful. What is the secret, so to say, «formula of success»?

 There’s no secret, I am an artist and teacher, too. In addition, the art critic by the second education, from 14 years I was on the podium in Russia, Europe and Asia. From this I made my «formula of success»! Painting – as a key beauty, catwalk - as a way to confidence and self-assertion!

 And if more?

 You know, podium - is a «proof ground». All is clear: how you go, how you hold and left ... In general, if you can get out?

 As in the verse: «dare to go on the streets?».

 Yeah, I heard, but there seems to be about another, though, the meaning is the same. In both cases - a «movement against the current». The song - against the authorities, on the podium - against their own fears and complexes.

 A painting - the second puzzle in the portrait of beauty?

 Painting - the key to understanding the beauty. I am convinced that only by creating beauty with your hands, you can truly understand its nature!

 This means that the girls at your school, draw and defile, and as a result – do they become beauties?

 (Laughs). Well, not only paint and defile! There are 12 disciplines at School, though, these two, in my opinion, are the most important!

 In this case, it would be natural to include your teaching idea into a system of compulsory education. Imagine, «different» girls entered the first class and after 10 years – all are beauties!

 Well, in principle, this is my dream! I have no doubt that it will be like this!

 And do you bring up your daughters with this system? You’ve got three of them, am I right?

 No, two daughters: one is two years and another - only year, and elder son - four and a half. So far, they are only kids, too early for podium! Although the son plays hockey - it is necessary to make a real man of him!

 Is it hard to raise three children at the same time?

 Mother and husband help me- together we cope.

 And still, do you prepare your girls to be queens?

 Yes, of course, and not only them! Every girl entering adulthood should be Queen! Then our world will be changed for the better!
