Area. Do you have a dictionary?

Dictionary.

Dictionary. Do you have a book?

No. Russian-English book, you have.

Ah.

Bring, bring. Yes.

This, Russian. Ah, English.

So,

seven is Russia, and you put...

Erm, yes.

Press.

No.

Write down your number.

Ah, it's not in service.

We cannot call from this number.

This phone doesn't work.

Here is me, getting my hair done in Japan.

I remember the birth, being a model,

and I hated it so much.

I've never been so down.

I remember days where I would

just literally stay in my apartment

and stay in my bed all day.

I just couldn't even get out of bed.

I didn't know what to do with

myself. I felt so depressed.

All I would think about is,

"OK, what am I going to

really do with my life?

"Why am I doing this?"

"When can I go home?"

I realised that I didn't

actually have to have

a death of modelling,

because I started scouting,

and I could actually now be

in control, and that was fun,

because I could decide

when I want to travel,

and I could pick the models,

and I was still a model,

so all my friends were models,

a lot of them, so I just started

sending them to Japan, so right away,

I had an instantaneous business.

The best thing I did was

buy my little house.

And then I made more money

when I sold it, which I'm doing now,

so I'm actually reaping the benefits

of my modelling career right now.

So this is my favourite little spot.

I had these boxes made

for these little mini prints.

Stockings.

Hands, gestures.

See, I'm trying to hide

my camera under the table...

...so that they don't know

that I'm photographing.

Sometimes I wouldn't

photograph the girl's face,

I would just photograph

her feet or her hands.

Sometimes I would try and

find the legs, match the legs,

which legs went with which body.

Hey, does that work? That works.

Doesn't it?

Oh, no. Doesn't work.

Wait, almost works.

This is the same. This is the

same bathing suit, though, look.

That fits that. If I had it

on a tripod, then I could.

A lot of times, you do shoots,

and you never see the pictures in the end.

The pictures can be

sold to a magazine afterwards,

and so you won't make any money,

because agencies don't want you

to know what's going on, anyway.

It's better for them, because if you

don't really know what's going on,

how much you're getting paid,

what are your expenses,

they can get more money out of you.

You have to be really on top of everything,

and at 13 years old, she

won't be on top of everything,

she'll be like, "Oh, my God, I'm going

to Japan. I have all those jobs booked,

"I'm going to make

that much money at least".

But they don't know that

they're not getting those jobs.
