| ->> What? Just because there are a few racy pictures of her from the early days? I'm sure that there are similar pictures of most of us here sitting in some shoe box somewhere. Right? |

| ->> I think the humour in all this is obvious; "Gal With Camera AND racy portfolio gets the gig" and Putin attempts to keep a straight face. Plus, the way it's written is absolutely hilarious! |

->> You have no idea of the pressure when you are this good looking!
I was in line once at a deli in Beverly Hills to pay my check. Everybody was staring at me. I turned around and saw that Paul Newman was standing in line right behind me. I asked him about it and he said he had exactly the same problem. |

->> Ian, You regularly work with men and women who probably stop traffic and silence restaurants with their attractiveness. Have you ever discussed the downside of looking good with them?

->> @Mark - I, too, know a number of extremely talented photographers who also happen to be physically attractive. However, I don't think the question here is whether Yana Lapikova is physically attractive, but whether she's an "extremely talented" photographer...

Of course, it's all a matter of opinion, and the only opinion that matters in this case is Putin's. I dunno... maybe he just really really really likes her personal vision of cats. |

To be fair, that isn't just any cat. It's a hookah cat! |

->> Don't hate.
So she's prettier than you.
So she got a kick ass job.
Get off the keyboard and go hit a gym. When you're done, go perfect your craft. Then when you don't get a job the two obvious reasons will be that you're still not pretty enough and you still can't take a good photo. |

->> Mr. Witte,
You hit the nail on the head!
As soon as I clean the coffee off of my monitor I am driving to the gym, taking the elevator up to the 3rd floor, and getting on the Stairmaster for about 20 min (everywhere I read they say 20 min of exercise is all I really need - right?) - and in six week I should have a body like her's - correct? Well, at least one sitting next to me - I hope! Just kidding - already have one (sitting next to me) been married to her for 16 years today!!
By this point the whole getting the body in shape is mute -I got the girl! Anyone got a beer?
Just need to figure out how to turn down the talent in order to get those 'kick-ass' jobs out there.
Eric - You have to tap the melons a bit to see if their ripe first, did you try that?
PS - HAPPY FATHERS EXTENDED-WEEKEND TO ALL YOU DADS OUT THERE!! |

| ->> Jim , yes I've tried that, really pissed off my wife. Won't be doing it again soon.... she responded by pinching the tomatoes to check for ripeness.... lesson learned, don't play with your food. |

Mark,
The short answer is yes. Somewhat different for the girls than the guys as you might expect. The figure competitors have the bodies that Victoria's Secret models idolize. And I truly have experienced walking in to a busy restaurant with them and it going dead silent and every eye turned. The intensity is deafening.
Girls who routinely are on multiple magazine covers that you find at every airport and drug store are besieged by constant attention (which many many handle very well) but I hear over and over "haven't had a date in two years". Guys are just too intimidated. One girl I know very well, extremely well known, at events and shows never comes out of her hotel room other than to participate in her work related duties.
Guys actually do pretty good, but they too are constantly stared at, it's the obvious muscles. They put up with a constant stream of oddities; people want to touch and poke, try putting their hand around biceps. They hear real whack jobs in the gym nag at them "take off your shirt!". And then there are the stupid snide comments about "steroids"; like any of these ignorant fat guys would instantly be turned into Mr. Olympia if he backed into a syringe.
So again the short answer is yes and I can relate any number of stories. |
