Anastasia in the kitchen
– I came to Moscow for 11 years from Krasnodar. In movies, I often play housewives and business women. And if she knew how, like my movie heroines, to walk over corpses to her goal, she would have achieved much more. But my career is developing very slowly. All I have achieved is the result of hard work. I graduated with honors from Gnesinka (pop-jazz department) and GITIS (workshop of Mark Zakharov). And these are not purchased diplomas, but earned by sweat and blood. For me, the taste of a well-deserved victory is much sweeter than what got “for beautiful eyes.” It’s no secret that pretty girls, having arrived in Moscow and choosing a career as a model or actress, receive many offers from rich men. Such people find you themselves. But I am a freedom-loving Kuban maiden. And I go to bed with the one I love, not with the one who fed and gave a ride in the Bentley.
– I came up with the design of the apartment myself. I ordered many materials from other countries. The Italian tiles had to wait for several months. But the repair itself was done by my uncle – one in just two months! I bought a chandelier for $ 6 at a flea market in India, and then my uncle and I altered it a bit. I also painted several stained-glass windows on the kitchen set with my own hand. I got carried away with the process and began to paint with stained glass paints – in the kitchen, in the bathroom …
I made a dressing room out of one room. I wished there were no wardrobes in the bedroom. The style of the main room was determined by a black crystal chandelier with gilding. I bought it and did everything else for it. Wrought iron console, bed, curtains in the color of the chandelier. Once I saw an insanely beautiful fox fur blanket in a store. It cost like two fur coats, but I could not resist …
I am very domestic, although with my type of appearance people perceive me as a bitch. And I don’t like parties, it’s better to wrap yourself in a blanket, take seeds, turn on a series for housewives and sob over it!
These are our kids – Lyalya and Donut. The breed is a Pomeranian. They are of a very rare snow-white color, this does not happen in nature, bred artificially. Because of this, dogs have weakened immunity – their health must be carefully monitored. We keep a special assistant for them, she comes twice a day, walks, feeds, and combs.
The apartment is small, so I actively used wrought-iron furniture, it gives a feeling of airiness … These shelves in the hallway are custom-made, so they fit perfectly into the openings. There is a collection of perfumes on the shelves: more than 100 fragrances! I collect mainly elite scents. There is a bottle that costs about 40 thousand rubles. This perfume was created by the French perfumer Killian Hennessy. He is the only one in the world who does not hide the components and proportions, since the components are so expensive that no one is able to repeat the fragrances.
An aquarium is built into the wall between the bathroom and the bedroom. Freshwater fish, each has a name. Boys – Bob, Elvis, all the girls – Isabella!
The bathroom is our little spa. The ceiling in the form of a starry sky is decorated with Swarovski crystals, of which two constellations are laid out: mine – Capricorn and Gleb – Cancer. Jacuzzi with chromotherapy – the water changes colors. You lie in the multi-colored water under the starry sky and watch the fish – what could be better?
