Oksana Fedorova - A Policewoman, TV host and just a Beauty
Thursday, 04 December 2008
It is hard to imagine a place that is more suitable for the birth
of a real Russian beauty than ancient Pskov. And it is where in December, 1977 the future «Miss Universe» and the
most popular among the manhood of Russia, the host of «Spokoynoy Nochi, Malyshi»
(Good night, Kids) children's show, Oksana Fedorova was born. Oksana was raised by
her mother, a medical worker, and by grandparents. Her father, engineer - physicist
left the family when Oksana was only two years old. When she grew up she tried
to find her father but he had already died by that time.
Oksana lived
in Pskov just to her full age. She had no doubts on her life choice
since early childhood she dreamed to become a police woman, that was such an
unusual dream for a girl. Inspired by her dream she entered the Police School
just after graduation of the secondary school. She showed progress in her study
and distinguished to the extent that she was seconded to the St. Petersburg University
of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Moreover, Oksana started her
study not at the ordinary faculty but at the faculty of Supervisors for Municipal
And Regional Departments of Internal Affairs. Oksana was awarded a Diploma with
honor in the rank of senior lieutenant.
Afterwards Oksana
was employed in the applied sphere of her professional activity as an investigator
at the Line Department of Internal Affairs of the Pulkovo airport in St.Petersburg.
However, the young girl realized that she would more enjoy scientific work
instead. And consequently Fedorova started her postgraduate work at a
military academy and was employed as a lecturer of civil rights at alma mater, namely
Saint-Petersburg University, Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian
Federation. By the way, Oksana
defended her Candidate's dissertation successfully and the theme thereof was
assigned as «Civil and legal control of private detective and guard activity in
the Russian Federation».
Yet, more curious
people might inquire, quite logically on how come that the lecturer and a
scientific worker participated and won at various beauty contests? As
appeared, Oksana just seized the opportunity at a chance. It might sound quite surprising
but it happened that at a concrete period of time Oksana experienced problems
with the shape and exclusively for the sake of her figure she started attending
gym club. It turned out that the gym was owned by the Shaping Federation of
Petersburg that was arranging a city beauty contest that time. Yet, it would be
very surprising if the shaping class organizers had not noticed such a
beautiful woman and had not invited her to take part in the contest. So, Oksana
accepted their offer, she participated and she won!
Awarded «Miss
St.Petersburg» title in 1999, Oksana was eligible to take a part in the
National Contest. She succeeded in this contest as well and in 2001 году Fedorova was awarded a title
of «Miss Russia». Afterwards
in the following year Oksana let herself to the international level and
presented Russia at the prestigious Beauty Contest in the world "Miss
Universe".
The contest
«Miss Universe-51» took place in San-Juan, the capital of Puerto-Rico in 2002. Sensation
in regards to this event was very tremendous: over 600 million TV audiences
observed this Day of judgment live in 176 countries of the world. Oksana competed
with 75 girls to be crowned as the most beautiful and the prettiest pretty in
the world each of the above was recognized as the best girl in their countries.
Upon abundant serious tests and contests the jury identified the five of
finalists. The five included Oksana as well as Miss Venezuela, Miss Panama,
Miss China and Miss South Africa. China and Venezuela finalists won the prizes
but Oksana Fedorova was awarded the first prize, the Crown of the Winner, "Miss
Universe" title, various prizes of 250 thousand USD cost, a number of various contracts
and the opportunity to study at New York School of Cinema and TV for two years
with the scholarship and apartments in Manhattan.
Nevertheless, Oksana refused to perform numerous commercial contracts
and travel along the world within a year, the fact occurred almost for the
first time throughout the history of the same contest. She decided that the high
title is definetley wonderful but her own life and realization of her arrogance
are more important. And she decided for preparation and defense of her dissertation
instead of dreaming about glamour and beautiful life. In view of the above
Oksana was deprived of her high title in four months by the administration of
"Miss Universe" contest which was sent to Venezuela representative.
And what happened?
Oksana did well without the title «Miss Universe». She stepped into her
TV carrier upon defense of her dissertation. For instance, she was a TV host of the legendary children's show «Spokoinoi
Nochi, Malyshi» (Good night, Kids), a co-host of TV show on repair; she featured
in various reality shows, for instance in «Dances with stars». At
present Oksana accented all her professional potential and perspectives to
develop TV programs for children and youth.
As for the
personal life of this green-eyed beauty, all men are left behind in Russia
since Oksana Fedorova married to Philippe Toft, a young Deutsch businessman on
August 10, 2007.
Lingerie for women was just the plain underwear until the 20th century when it became the mean self-expression, as the subject of esthetic admiration. A piece of lingerie seen in between the women wear looked quite shocking to be shame and no one thought of designing luxury items based on lingerie, leaving alone works of art. Today every woman dreams of having a pair, or even more, of luxury and high quality lingerie to associate with sexuality, sensibility and attraction with male.
Today the knitwear is presented in so many styles and
it is so popular that no single autumn and spring collections can do without
hosiery. Knit
women's coats are offered in classic, sporty, romantic, vintage, casual and
ethnic styles. The demand for knit coats
grows in line with the more increasing range of color and texture of woolen
yarn as merino wool, angora, alpaca, Kashmir. Globally known brands launch knit
coats for women in their latest collections and most celebrities today appear
wearing knitwear for many occasions and that's hard to picture that some time
back it was something different.
First established in 1980, the brand by Carolina Herrera is one of the well-known fashion brands; collections by Carolina Herrera make a conquest for the public love and demand due to elegance and delicacy of the fashion wear models. The collections were successful, though Carolina Herrera opened its perfume line first in 1988 presenting Carolina Herrera for Women. Carolina Herrera 212 is known to be the bestseller first launched in 1997, and today this fragrance takes its niche among the most recognized perfumes of the world.
First established in 1860, Chopard is one of the reputed watch and jewelry houses producing incredibly beautiful, fascinating jewelry items and watches of dream. The house also launched a number of celebrated fragrances as Casmir, Wish, Madness and Infiniment. Despite the long and solid history of the brand, it appeared only recently in the market of fragrances with the first fragrance Chopard launched only in 1992. Six years later, in 1996, the Chopard House presented its Mira-Bai, the fragrance which is still in favor among women keen on oriental scents. Mira-Bai shows no intentions to compete with such a fashion-setter in the sphere of oriental compositions as Guerlain Shalimar, though the fragrance by Chopard takes its niche among the classic perfumes in the market of oriental perfume.
