Who is elena perminova

Once upon a time in Siberia, a young Perminova grew up dreaming of being a model. But where there is light, there is darkness. Then one fateful day… she was caught and arrested in jail for a night. Her hero came in the shape of Russian member of parliament Alexander Lebedev — who, at the time, was campaigning for witness protection and chose to help our young, imperiled heroine. Elena left Siberia, and went to study economics at the Moscow state university, where, aged 19, she began dating Lebedev.

Elena made her own patches for her jeans and always wanted to be a model, 'because we didn't have a lot of money'. She started modelling aged 14, and by the time she was 16, she was on the cover of a Russian fashion magazine, the title of which translates as Guilty Pleasures. She had also fallen in love with a man who was 16 years older than her, a small-town drug dealer - although she did not realise this at first.

I couldn't live without him. He was my life. Soon enough he was asking her to deliver drugs to people. I spent two days crying, and then I said, "Please, I have to be with you, I am coming back. I thought I was so grown up. But I was a child.

I didn't even understand who was good, who was not good. I feel still awful about it. At this time, Alexander Lebedev, former KGB man, was in the Duma the lower house in the Russian parliament and campaigning for witness-protection laws.

Elena's father got in touch, and the family went to visit him to bring Elena's case to his attention and ask for his help. He's super-handsome, really talented; just like a real man. By now I'm sure I've made it abundantly clear that I'm really, really into the head-to-toe white thing. Well, lucky for me and maybe unlucky for y'all if you're sick of me yammering on and on about it , not-too-tight white trousers keep appearing on the red carpet as well.

It looks like the infatuation with white clothing isn't going anywhere any time soon. Sure you're not supposed to wear white before Labor Day, but I'm not supposed to do a lot of the things I like doing, so here are three super-cute ways to rock the look now! Cutie bean Jessica Alba wore her cropped white trousers or are they suuuper pale blue? Either way, they look white with a jazzy green coat and matching green top. The pops of black keep this from looking too Easter-eggy, but the mix of green and white looks really fresh and happy.

This would be a super easy look to replicate! Candice Swanepoel is a girl after my own heart! I love her all-white ensemble, and simple black sandals—so, so chic! Your subscription will end shortly.
