When she's not on the beach, you can find her...being nominated for a Golden Globe for her role as Edie Britt on Desperate Housewives; singing a different tune after using the "I just wanna be friends" line with Michael Bolton.

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!

Tour the largest country in the world with 11 of its most beautiful women.

Girl on Film traveled to Russia to shoot 11 of its hottest girls, courtesy of the Miss Russian Pageant and Russian Standard Vodka.  We stayed in the most luxurious hotels, visited the finest restaurants and clubs and, of course, enjoyed a lot of very tasty vodka, all while photographing some of the sexiest women ever to set foot in front of my lens.  It was the best time of my life, and for the next 15 Thursdays, I'm going to share our adventure and personally hand-deliver to you the hottest photos ever taken of these already gorgeous Russian woman. 

It starts today with images of all of the girls, but be sure to check back as we celebrate them one by one.  And to build suspense, we're going to give you a hot pic each week of the following week's beauty.  As our friends in Russia would say, Пожалуйста (you're welcome)!

All of our models are former Miss Russia pageant contestants specially chosen for this project.  Now they've shed their tiaras for a walk on the Maxim side.  I hope you have 1/100th as much fun watching them as we did shooting them.
