^Thanks so much. I've never seen that cooking/interview footage. She's always lovely.....and missed.

I wish we could have a translation of that cooking tv show interview.

The very talented Eric Guillemain posted a few months ago an entry dedicated to Ruslana on his blog.

Sonnet


And it was almost a girl and came to beOut of this single joy of song and lyre
And though her green veils shone forth radiantly
And make herself a bed inside my ear.


And slept there. And her sleep was everything :
The awesome trees, the distances I had felt
So deeply that I could touch them,
Meadows in spring :
All wonders that ever seized my heart


She slept the world. Singing god, how was that first sleep
So perfect that she had no desire ever to wake ?
See : She arose and slept.


Where is her death now ? Ah, will you discover
This theme before your song consumes itself ?
Where is she vanishing ?...A girl almost...


Rainer Maria Rilke

Someone in the comments asked more about Ruslana and this is what he replied...

Dear Irina,
I met Ruslana while photographing her. I asked if she would sing for me. Sing about her inner life. Sing with her body. I said I needed her to be the artist, and I would just stand there as a witness. She agreed on the terms and trusted me through the whole process. I didn't realize at the time how much she was giving to me and the world...It grew on me though, as editing the pictures I was discovering in front of my eyes. She was a real muse and disappeared before I could continue the quest.
But may be that quest is continuing on another plane and I will remember her always.
About re-publishing the whole session, I think this will be done as a part of an exhibit I am preparing.
Thanks for your words and attention.

Hello everybody,

I want to post a video of a girl that reminds me of Ruslana for a little bit.
Sorry for not posting new pics or videos but I wanted you guys to have a look at this girl. She is Dutch! I do not name her official name, seems at comments to be Simone? That is all I know. Do not forget to see in a HQ.

PS Diana, thank you so much for posting that interview video, I love it!!!

 

[Fantomette]

She looks like Simone Doreleijers (DNA, Paparazzi model management). She took part in the Elite model look the same year as Ymre Stiekema but her thread wasn't updated in a long time. I don't really see any resemblance except maybe when her hair is light like in this picture.

Hey Fantomette and Diana,

Thank you so much for your comments, that's the girl I was looking for. I think she is very beautiful but unfortunately I do have to say she looks a lot less alike of Ruslana as I thought she would (visiting her thread). I am really glad I now found out her name haha and I'm Dutch and could not even find her at the internet lol.

Anyway I have to say I still love to visit this thread to see some old pics of her...so I hope this threads keeps alive for as much as possible. The same about bellazon, that's a great site as well.

I have to admit that Ruslana is way more beautiful, even though sometimes I thought she looked like there was a sadness in her eyes visible. But maybe that's just me.

Glad you liked the video then
