RWD Third (3rd) Annual (sort of) Beauty Pageant!!

[Admin]

Some of you may recall the previous RWD Beauty Pageants, found here -- http://www.russianwomendi...orum/index.php?topic=2180, and here -- http://www.russianwomendi...um/index.php?topic=6645.0

Our First RWD Beauty Pageant was something of a surprise to me, with preliminary results indicating a successor to perennial favorite Anna Kournikova would emerge from the group. Then, in a last minute surge to the finish, Kournikova asserted her dominance and won the competition.

Our second RWD Beauty Pageant had no such drama. From start to finish actress (and Bond girl) Olga Kurylenko ran away with the competition.

This competition presents 14 of the most beautiful women from the Former Soviet Union. They range from professional dancers, to runway models, to popular actresses.

The poll will run for 21 days, and is set to show results only after you have voted.

For our many guests who lurk in the background, photos are only viewable by members who are logged-in, so please create an account and cast your vote!

Enjoy!

I think the most beautiful Russian actress is Elena Korikova, but she is not on your list.

Add this one too while you are at it..

Briefly met at the Hilton in Venice while she was doing a shoot there.

She enjoyed tickling my son but I wasn't so lucky 

Who is she anyway? Spoke RU.

[Lily]

vwrw, although I voted for Dasha Astafieva, I fully agree with you.

Besides, if I correctly remember your photos, you look like Korikova yourself

Lily, I would be happy to agree with you, but unfortunately, I do not resemble Korikova. From my friends after they watched the movie “Mask” and recently from an American woman in mall I heard that I resemble Cameron Diaz, but I disagree with this statement either.

Dan,

In addition to the direct votes about the most beautiful RW, your thread is gathering votes (number of times photo viewed) about what attracts the most attention of RWD members.  The answer - either we have a lot of Chicago Cubs fans, or it is the answer we all knew beforehand.   To have made it fair, you could have included photos highlighting other body parts.

With great certainty I say you most resemble Mila.

Sorry, could not resist.  BTW, I never felt offended by that episode years ago.

Having spent a great deal of time looking at VWRW I think I will agree but only from the nose down.  They eyes are very different,  Perhaps Diaz for the eyes, I haven't paid that much attention to Diaz.
