Ambitious Ksenia Barbina have made a successful career as a top model and conquered the Internet not only with bright photos, but also with interesting and useful con-tent. A girl who managed to create a successful blog, read by a million people. Today she is a fashion expert, famous for cooperation with various designers and world brands. Her images can be found on the pages of Elle, Harpers Bazaar, Vogue where, in addition to «preview» of memorable images, she talks about traveling, beauty-procedures and art.

I never understood what is the secret of my so-called «popularity». Probably, if you live a busy life, travel, visit tasty places and meet interesting people, it always attracts followers. Someone becomes interested in where you dress, and for someone it’s your story. Everyone finds something special.

 MD: Ksenia, you are very beautiful and bright girl. We are sure that the number of your followers speaks exactly about the fact that people are interested in you and try to copy. How does such success appear?

KB: Thank you very much, I’m very pleased. In fact, I do not consider myself a celebrity, I’m an ordinary person, like everyone else. Never pursued the goal of becoming popular, it came out by itself. I like to share the moments of my life, to show the part that is often hidden. This is opportunity for people to know me a little more and make an idea of me as a person. Photos from shootings are not remained without attention, because people are always attracted by everything bright. But I am a very cheerful and open person, I can also joke from myself – people like it.

 MD: You are invited to appear in various shootings and commercials. Tell us more about your modeling career.

KB: I’ve been fond of modeling for a long time, since I was 15, but I did not have much choice, I was always very tall and slim. Therefore beauty contests helped me to become more self-confident, to struggle with complexes and eventually helped me to become who I am now. Shooting in advertising, on television, in TV shows, interviews and work abroad – what only I don’t have in my modeling career. But I never took it seriously, everything was always at the level of a hobby, nothing more.

 MD: Have you ever thought about participating in beauty contests? In my opinion, you are definitely destined to success! KB: I’m madly flattered by this. Yes, I have repeatedly participated in different kinds of competitions, even casting Miss Russia, but since I did not pay much attention and time to it, I often made a choice in favor of relations or studies, although I had won many times.

MD: Share your main principles of life with our readers!

KB: I believe in Kant’s categorical imperative, which amounts to the fact that people should act the way you would like to be treated with them. I can definitely say that there is a boomerang principle. Everything always comes back, bad or good. The principle of learning: every person we meet can teach us anything, everything happens for a reason, it’s lessons. And the principle of the mirror: before you judge a person, you should pay attention to yourself.

MD: In addition to the ideal appearance, you are an educated and erudite girl! How do you find time and how much is it important for you?

KB: In my family, special attention has always been paid to good manners, upbringing and education. Therefore, it would be impossible to remain uneducated. I have several higher educations, a red diploma and all kinds of courses and practices. To say that I love to learn is to say nothing. It seems to me ridiculous when adult people write illiterately, for example, it does not matter who you are, but to know even your native language is the basic foundation. Therefore, beauty, of course, is good, but being educated for a literate person is the foundation, without which it is very difficult to live, whoever you are.

 I always spend a long time analyzing and developing plans for periods of black days or a period of unscheduled work. That is, I always have some kind of reserve or thoughtful way out of this or that situation, although otherwise I cannot say that I’m a terrible planner and amateur to do everything in advance, quite the contrary.

 MD: Your have an appearance of an angel, but what about your character? Is it the same or submissive?

KB: Signs of the zodiac often determine the character of the person. I am a scorpion and it speaks for itself. I am familiar with the features of this sign. I am always outwardly very calm, steady and tolerant, but if you managed to cross the border, then prepare for righteous anger. I am a non-conflicting person and it is quite difficult to make me angry, you really need to do something superfluous. I’ll calm down only when the enemy is completely defeated. Otherwise, I’m always very loyal, sociable and friendly. It seems to me, and as a partner in the relationship, I am very stable and I consider it my duty to be the support for my man.

 MD: You have a very strong and friendly family. You grew in love and care, it feels immediately very much. How do you see your future man?

KB: It is really so. My parents are the example for me, they have been together for more than 40 years, still love each other, care and respect. I was lucky to be born in a family where there is always an atmosphere of love and comfort. I do not remember that parents even swore for some serious reasons. Therefore, I see my man a prototype of my dad: intelligent, strong, kind, caring, successful and loving his family. Of course, I understand that, perhaps, these are too high requirements for my partner, nevertheless, probably this is the thing that is necessary to create a strong family. And I, in turn, will provide him with a stable rear, where he will always be waited, loved, groomed and cherished, but this will be also in response to his efforts.

MD: How do you maintain beauty and body in this form?

KB: In fact, I would not say that I have some specific methods for caring for myself. These are some basic things, skin cleansing, nutrition and protection procedures. Ordinary cream, nothing more. The cosmetologist from time to time and then as a preventive measure. I do not attend the gym, I still do not have enough time. But I have a pretty active life, so sometimes I forget to eat lunch or dinner or just do not have enough time for it. Therefore, everything superfluous basically does not stay long, despite my love for sweets and baked goods. Without this, I cannot imagine my life and I do not know what can affect my rejection of these delicacies.
