my model of the moment.






images cred. models.com. TFS.

MOTM.
alla kostromicheva

not only is she insanely gorgeous , but is 100% ukrainian 
(like me & also possesses a crazy last name--- read: lisa HOLOWAYCHUK. it does not get more ukrainian then that.) 

she is so naturally beautiful that is must be a crime.
i mean those eyes. eyebrows. skin. cheekbones. her hair.


she just recently walked for calvin klein. donna karan. alexander wang. jil sander. gianfranco ferre. ysl. balenciaga... and it continues.

she is definitely on the prowl...
watch out.

She catched my eye too recently! I like how she has a very strong and mature look as opposed to all the other mdc picks.

She's really beautiful, love her Polaroids especially, and her last name, though it's not quite as cool as your last name, which I have fun trying to say (though I'm probably saying it all wrong). ;)

Anyway, it's been too, too long since we've last spoken (which is a good bit, my fault, I've been so busy), but thank you so much for your Facebook comment and encouragement! I'm not sure how much I will write, after all, when I say a zine or handmade book, I do mean something somewhat small (not like a 400-something page novel), and I'd like to mix my writing with images or illustrations or something else too. :)

Anyway, hope you are well, dear! <3

xoxo,
S-C

she needs to eat...and then she will be beautiful...back ribs are not cute...im sorry but you are a lot prettier than that model will ever be...

Love + Cake said...

Nice feature! She's gorgeous :)

WOW.
thanks guys.
you are far TOOO KIND with those words of yours!


anon:thank you for your honesty + sweet words.
i agree on the back ribs thing. BUT I also know that sometimes it is genetic. Especially some of these young models, from europe. No matter how much they eat they will simply remain the same size! I have a friend who eats SOOO much and is still skinny minny beyond belief! It is not pleasant to look at bones like that, i do agree, but I also know that it is natural for some.

thanks for leaving a message guys!

have a beautiful day.

i am suprised to see you like this model? just considering you always make such points of talking of eating disorders and skinny models..she looks skinnier that most we are seeing atm..so this was a little shocking..

Frances Davison said...

oh wow, the eyebrows! immense.x

zoë said...

oh wow yes she is gorgeous !
and actually she looks sort of like catherine mcneil in some pictures, at first glance ..
beautiful .

leeselooks said...

anon: i said it above too! that this is natural for some, and no matter what they eat they will always have ribs like that. One of my best friends is exactly the same, and she seriously eats more than a grown man.

bodies are bodies. a gift from God. we are all different and special.

many skinnier models exist, and i can't judge from pictures if it is natural or not.

therefore i think each one is beautiful, and if it is not natural i just pray they take the steps to get healthy. we can only help ourselves! so i simply thought she was beautiful and we share the same heritage, so i posted!
