Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin

That, or a kick-ass red lipstick

And it seems I am not the only one.  I have had a lot of search queries leading to this post, also about Natalia.


Everyone has their ideas about beauty, and what they find to be beautiful.  Different people have different ideas about how they want themselves to look - this is what I would want.  Okay, not exactly like her, but I'd like to look graceful and a little bit doll-like.  If only.


Google translate says her name in Russian just like you say it in English.  Are Russian letters pronounced the same as other European languages?  Google images provided all the pictures.

She's not as well known, and I guess she got propelled to extra-Spanish fame via the Mango campaign she did with her sister, but Monica Cruz is gorgeous, like a French looking Penelope.  (Because I am of Oriental extraction, I can differentiate between people from the different countries of SE Asia / the Orient, like Korea, Japan, Philippines, Thailand etc. I can't explain my reasoning.  Similarly, one of my English-born friends can differentiate between people from different countries in Europe.  France has a variety of looks their people have, some are pale, some are darker skinned... Monica could pass as French, in my opinion, in the right style of dressing.  She looks like a cross between Penelope Cruz and Emmy Rossum, and that's how I got the French interpretation).


Apparently, she was a double for Penelope whilst filming On Stranger Tides because Penelope was pregnant??  Can't say I noticed, but then.. I often can't see the wood for the trees.
