Somehow the dark corner of the room in “Dikina” feels like an appropriate setting. Masha’s pale skin has a luminous, glowing quality in the light photographer A. Le Favori shines on her. In that light her dark auburn hair and her deep, dark eyes become even more intriguing.

This body type, long-limbed and lean, has a strong appeal. Made stronger, still, in Masha’s case, by the beautiful breasts she’s been blessed with. And her clothing — those thigh-high stockings, that sporty yet high fashion pair of boots — projects a quirky, rebellious quality, a bit of semi-punk attitude. Works for me!

I might have liked just a big more exploration of Masha’s more intimate anatomy, but I respect the choices made here (whether they were Masha’s, Le Favori’s, or a combination of the two). Whatever the case, this study in light and dark, red hair and pale skin is without doubt…hot!
