^ Why does she begin to remind me of Natasha Poly and Gemma Ward in some of those pics ?

 

[Sweet rus]

my pleasure Pash
here is what models.com said about Natalia in far 1998

47. Natalia Semanova/Elite
A mysterious Russian beauty with the elegant carriage and a post-50's poise. Natalia has the classic frisson that designers like Valentino and Lacroix love to push to the forefront.​

 

[Pashen'ka]

^ That makes me nostalgic....

 

[Sweet rus]

and me too

Alright, so I don't know if these pics were posted before or not, but I was just sort of going through the files on my computer and found them along the way... Sorry, if they are, indeed, reposts...

By the way, why are you so nostalgic, Pash ? Judging by those polaroids posted some time ago (I actually think it was you, who posted them) she now looks better than ever... I hope it's not the comparison with Natasha Poly, that made you feel so... I know you like Gemma Ward, though...

 

[Pashen'ka]

^ Yep, I Gemma (I use to say that she's "my new Semanova"...), and btw I like Poly too...

No, I'm just nostalgic thinking of her golden years, when she was doing 30 shows each season or more and appeared in the best mags every other month...

(btw, I was younger too and this makes me even more nostalgic in a way...)


p.s.
I those pics, bright red looked great on her...

I has always loved those pictures of miss Red Hair Semanova. The two first are from French Marie-Claire (I think). I'm glad to see her back with a new ad campaign even if it's not a huge campaign as she was used to do (Giogio Armani of Blumarine).

Well, there's always a hope for her golden years to come back... I mean, with her drastic image change, why not ? At least, you can always hope... I do, anyway...

I asked about Poly, 'cause I noticed you don't really like it, when I compare her with Natalia Vodianova... I think you don't like Natalia V. much... Anyways, I hope that comparison didn't offend you or something... I just sort of think they look alike...

I don't like Natalia V. either. Tasha Tilberg looks more like Nat Semanova than Nat V.

I must confess that I'm indeed not a big fan of Vodianova (I mean, she's beautiful, but I like many other models more than her... )

blush: ...and perhaps one of the reasons I'm not a big fan of Vodianova is that when she came out everybody started to call her simply "Natalia" as if she was the only one with that name - and I was, like, "hey guys, what about my Semanova?" )

As for the resemblance, imho the girl that look more like Semanova is Olga Elnikova...

 

[VickiB]

^Yes I totally agree with you about Natalia V.

For the resemblance... Olga looks like Natalia S, Tasha Tilberg too (I keep going with that isn't it?)

Thanks. I think she looks great with red hair.

I can see a slight resemblance in some pics, yep...though I must confess I could never imagine Semanova with a nose piercing...

 

[VickiB]

^Natalia looks is more classy than Tilberg.

Have you noticed that Semanova was not on Supermodel web site... What a SHAME!!!!!!!!!!

And I miss her with red hair (with an huge bang)
