Celebrate Anna Botova

For the first of our 10 days shooting 11 of Russia’s most beautiful women, all former Miss Russian pageant contestants (if you’re just tuning in, shame on you - See the first feature HERE), Russian Standard Vodka rented out the infamous Red Square (THEY RENTED OUT RED SQUARE). The whole thing. Just for us. (!).

The setting:  It was high-70s and the sun was shining though St. Basil’s historic crown. The square was empty, except for the 600 years of Russian history rising up from its cobblestone.  We had the state historical museum to the left of us, St. Basil’s to the right, and Lenin’s tomb behind us.  In front of us was one of the hottest women in Russia!

Check out Anna’s photos and how she lights up in front of the camera. And make sure to check back as we post behind-the-scenes footage from our shoot and an exclusive interview with Anna. 

Added bonus:  We loved Anna so much we brought her to Kalina Bar for a second round.  See more of her next week!
