Finale Top Model in Ukrainian season 4 episode 18 watch online: The most spectacular fashion show of the project participants. - Part 2:
Maria Lesovaya is a model, blogger and food expert who, until 2001, was a simple psychology student from Yekaterinburg. At the age of 21, she took part in the television project “Top Model in Russian” and eventually won. Initially, no one bet on Masha, but with her victory she proved that the secret of success is individuality and determination.
Family
Masha's parents have nothing to do with the fashion industry. However, they always supported their daughter in all her endeavors and, without stopping, watched every episode of “Top Model in Russian.”
Now Maria is married to the artist Pavel Almazov, who appeared in her life at one of the most difficult moments, and still supports her in everything.
The beginning of the way
Masha got on the show not by chance. At the age of 18, she was already the director of a modeling agency, so this was not the first experience in her life. In an interview, she says that after a painful breakup with her boyfriend, a problem arose with finding new housing. Then the decision came to Maria Lesova: to go to the casting in order to solve the housing problem in this way.
She didn’t take anything with her to the competition: a swimsuit, shoes, a dress - all this was given to Masha by a friend who was not old enough. There was no portfolio either, just as there were no special talents: Maria could neither sing, nor dance, nor do the splits. The jury was captivated by her spontaneity and naturalness. So, thanks to sincerity and simplicity, the issue of further residence was successfully resolved - Maria Lesovaya was accepted into the show.
The first season was broadcast on the MUZ-TV channel since April 2001. The show was hosted by Ksenia Sobchak, and the jury included famous photographers, models and fashion designers.
"Top Model in Russian"
On the project, Masha was one of the most “real” participants. She called herself “Vasya from the Urals”, behaved like a “tomboy”, did not choose expressions and did whatever she wanted, which at first greatly irritated the jury and the presenter. Ksenia Sobchak has repeatedly made comments to her regarding her appearance, behavior and manner of speaking. Masha tried to grow and improve, but could not afford to lose her individuality. There were cases that, due to Masha’s shocking behavior, the judges even refused to consider her works at all and allow them to be included in the show. However, in the finale, the qualities that initially hindered the model suddenly played into her favor. Naturalness and straightforwardness prevailed over glossy faces and stereotyped behavior, and Maria Lesovaya became the winner of the project.
After the show
The victory in the show became a landmark event in the biography of Maria Lesova. As a prize, she signed a contract with the Wilhelmina Models modeling agency, a one-year collaboration agreement with MaxFactor, and received a photo shoot for New York Cosmopolitan. In addition, she began to participate in fashion shows, photo shoots and collaborate with famous magazines and designers.
Even during the show, “Russian model, Maria Lesovaya” became famous in New York. Immediately after the end of the project, she was invited to work abroad, but Maria decided for herself that the amount of work she received in St. Petersburg and Moscow was enough for her, and she did not want to go through 40 castings a day. Therefore, the model remained in her homeland.
Sneakers or heels
Everyone who has ever seen Masha in person unanimously repeats that they have never met more versatile person. Girl in sneakers, torn jeans, with nose ring and almost completely covered with tattoos, changes into an elegant dress and goes to the podium, where she demonstrates extraordinary femininity.
Over time, Masha finally abandoned the image of a standard model. She shaved her head and inserted a ring into the septum. Now the model’s body is almost entirely covered with tattoos, and the color short hair changes from blue to pink, depending on the mood.
Maria knows this one interesting feature, but claims that she never set out to play in contrast. Tattoos and robes are her life, and the podium and elegant dresses- this is her hobby, for which she also receives money. If this combination were not sincere and natural, others would certainly notice the falseness.
From model to donut and back
Maria Lesova's life after the project is like a roller coaster. Enchanting ups are replaced by heavy downs.
There was a difficult moment in Masha’s life when, as a result of serious stress, a hormonal imbalance occurred in her body, as a result of which she sharply gained weight. In his candid posts on official page on Instagram, the model talks about this period as one of the most difficult in her life: “My 17 kg came literally within two weeks.” The path to losing weight, according to Masha, was thorny. She tried sports, diets, and medication, but the results were insignificant and short-lived.
This situation negatively affected the morale of the model, as well as her career. Lesovaya was no longer invited to filming, she disappeared from the pages of magazines for a long time, and all the photos on social networks carefully masked changes in appearance.
The decision came suddenly and turned out to be the only correct one. From friends, Maria Lesovaya learned about the “Kolovada +” system of step-by-step cleansing of the body. This is a set of special powders and vitamins, with the help of which, subject to strict adherence to the rules of administration, a thorough cleansing of the body from waste and toxins is carried out.
After undergoing several cleanses, Maria regained her previous weight, improved her health and found a new occupation in life.
Forest people
On Masha’s Instagram pages you can see posts with the hashtags #forestpeople or #lesovayateam. Under them, the model posts posts related to her new line of work. She created a whole team of fans of cleansing the body using the Kolovada + system. Under the leadership of Masha different cities groups of people are created who gradually undergo cleansing, communicating on forums and chats, sharing experiences and results with each other. Some of the photos are truly stunning. In comparatively short time people seriously lose weight, and the results are over long time simply amazing.
Having returned to her previous body, Maria returned to filming and shows. Now she maintains her blog on Instagram, regularly posting stories where she advertises various salons, gives useful tips and simply comments on what is happening around.
In addition, she regularly holds meetings of her team of fellow cleaners, under code name"Healthy lifestyle-party". To facilitate the period of cleansing the body, Maria records videos in which she prepares delicious and healthy dishes from permitted products, and also supports like-minded people with words and motivating photos.
Maria says that today the meaning of her life is to help people believe in themselves and make life better. She gets great pleasure from realizing how many people will be happier thanks to her advice, and receives an incredible charge of energy from this.
Today Maria Lesovaya is again experiencing the rise of her career. She looks great, is engaged in her favorite profession, has many plans and goals. She radiates kindness and optimism and encourages fans to believe in themselves and never give up.

Today we take a look back at the past and present and take a look at what the show's winners and favorites looked like then and look like now.
In mid-October, Tyra Banks announced that the 22nd season of the show “America's Next Top Model” would be the last, and this news instantly spread around the world, reminding everyone of the brightest participants in the project - their beauty, transformations, perfectionism, drama, and in some moments of absurdity.
Dacosta finished second in the third season of the show and had big success in your profession. In addition to appearing in magazines such as Interview, Essence and Vibe, the model has collaborated with Target, Marc Bouwer Olay, Isaac Mizrahi and Garnier. Modeling was not the only platform for her self-expression: last year, Yaya starred as Whitney Houston in the television film “Whitney.” IN currently is raising a child and starring in the TV series Chicago Clinic.
Stoltz, like Dacosta, recently turned 32 years old, but she was a candidate for victory in the fifth season and did not become a model in the end. The girl left her job as a fashion model to be a correspondent for MTV, and later retrained as director of stock sales at Bank of America.
Tipton took third place in cycle number 11 and is now in the midst of a boom in her career. Only now Anali is showing herself more as an actress: having made her debut in the comedy “This Stupid Love” and starring in the TV series “Manhattan Love Story”, Anali has every chance of becoming famous in 2016, because Five films featuring this 26-year-old Minneapolis native will be released.
The winner of the very first season of the show found herself in editorial work and starred in two reality shows, during the filming of one of which she met her now ex-husband- actor Christopher Knight. In the time since filming the first season of America's Next Top Model, Adrianne has worked a lot as a model and has been on the sexiest lists more than once.
Now Marcille Pigford (her middle name) became the winner of the third season and has worked with DKNY on several occasions. Now the young mother is focused on acting career and is content with only small roles in films.
Having won the eighth season of the show, Jaslin continues to work as a model in her native Puerto Rico and sometimes goes to New York for Fashion Week (this season she could be seen at the Michael Costello fashion show).
Lisa D'Amato
Lisa won the competition on her second try: in 2005 she took sixth place, and in 2011, in the season where all the stars of the show gathered, she took first position. Now the 33-year-old model is busy with music and raising her two-year-old son.
Lisa D'Amato
The winner of the 15th season of the show is remembered for her shyness and high growth(1.94 m!). Otherwise, the girl has not made her presence known since 2011: she does not appear at public events, and she does not post a single photograph of herself on her Twitter page. Such a shy girl.
CaryDee English, who took the top spot in season seven, continues to take the modeling industry by storm. Judging by her Instagram, she is very, very active.
Maura, who won the title in Season 4, works as a model, appearing on the covers of Elegant, Look and Wink. She also wrote a book and released her first single in March of this year.
Linkletter, who won the show's fifth season, has collaborated with several major publications, including Elle, enjoys life with her husband, and often reminisces about the project (and why not, when she has a ton of cool professional shots?).
