Snejana Onopka

[Flyest]

My gosh..in her last video she's strained, tense, forced, unnatural and sour.

If she doesn't like doing interviews then she shouldn't...she always seems like a bad collocutor! I feel like she doesn't have anything to say so she always ends up slightly dum.

 

[Hoother]

I don't think she looked strained, tense, forced, unnatural or sour at all... I don't think she would have done the interview if she didn't want to. Maybe the dumbness you're picking up on is the slight language barrier.

 

[gossiping]

at the end when she smiles, she is soo sweet. i love her in interviews.

 

[naya]

She's so beautiful in that video! I love it when she smiles too.

 

[Flyest]

ugh I know but after 5 years in this business the language shouldn't be a barrier, I think we all can agree on this I know she turns all giggly just because she feels uncomfortable speaking in english but that's when she turns out being fake, to me. that's all. I always secretly hope she improves her language skills and people skills and changes for the better.

I agree with you.
She doesn't look unnatural and forced to me in this video. She is so nice and cute.
We all know that she doesn't like her job, but she can't tell that on tv

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

Aww so cute, at least she know that (all) she wears is jeans and t-shirts and pretty shoes.

and a giant croc clutch

 

[loonaka]

she is so beautiful but she looks sad or bored in almost every picture

 

[Karen0193]

She looks really cute in that video, a bit akward but cute
and she's such a pretty bride.

 

[MyNameIs]

LOL, she always describes every collection the same way "It's really beautiful. I love it." Haha.

 

[xerq]

i think it's miracle that she even talked to them

 

[khyrk]

She's too precious in that interview.

I agree with on this one a MILLION times !!! She says she likes to travel however she never goes to fashion parties and she does fashion weeks to a minimum ! And when the interviewer asks her what she wears outside of runway, just look at her face just before she speaks, we can clearly see that she's annoyed and doesn't want to answer the question.

Snejana, please be joyful and stop looking tired ! you've got plenty of time before and after fashion weeks to sleep !

And I also agree with you about the language barrier, she should ba able to speak English properly by now !!

 

[lady stardust]

omG..soo off topic..
she can say what ever she wants..
she's still a super model..
Go Snejaaana

Seriously? Why does the whole world have to speak English. Who knows, she might have learned to speak French or another language since she's been a model. But that's up to her. There are lots of models whose English is anything but perfect. Adriana Lima is a VS Angel and still often doesn't know how to say something in English.
I don't feel like Snejana owes us anything. I think the interview is cute even if she does seem a bit insecure. I don't buy this whole "she's pissed off or bored 24/7" thing. To me she just seems like a shy and insecure person. Nothing wrong with that. And even if she was the coldest b*tch in the world, that's still not our problem. She could have just said no to the interview if she didn't want to do it, just like she obviously doesn't go to castings or fashion week if she doesn't want to.

 

[Lax89]

Sorry but Adriana Lima doesn't really count since she's not the kind of supermodel who does fashion weeks ! and come on, Snejana is the established model whose English is really lacking.
She is only shy and insecure when she has to speak English because when she speaks in her native language she has a lot to say and doesn't seem to be shy. A little off-topic so I'm going to stop here.

 

[Psylocke]

So a model that walks the runway two times a day for 3 weeks a year has to speak perfect English but one that's a spokesmodel for an American brand doesn't?

But OK, you're right, that's off topic. Just thought it was weird people were complaining about her not making any public appearances and when she does make one (i.e. the interview) people are complaining because she doesn't seem über-excited. I, as a fan, am just happy to see new Snejana footage, no matter what stupid and boring questions she has to answer there.

 

[Lax89]

Well back in 2006-2007 she walked more than 2 shows a day.

I'm a fan of Snejana, I'm happy too when there are new interviews but sometimes it's just frustrating that she doesn't really seem to enjoy modelling.

 

[iluvjeisa]

She's very together these days. Her English seems just fine....maybe there are cultural reasons she doesn't really speak freely in the FTV type interviews?

 

[MyNameIs]

I know, I think her English seems fine too. For someone who doesn't live full time in an English speaking country, you can't really expect her to sound like a natural born speaker. Plus I would bet she probably gets nervous during interviews and forgets even some of what she knows.
