A little girl grew up in a big house and in a big family In Burunday. She was the eighth child and as the youngest received the most love and affection. Favorite of her father - she became more beautiful, she understood it when she was five and she said aloud, "I am kasyusya" (I am beautiful). And although no one doubted she proved it by getting the title of "Miss Kazakhstan" at the age of seventeen and now she is preparing for the upcoming South Africa contest "Miss World."

- Dana, is there now anything more important than the future contest, for example, admission to college?
- No! I do not even know what university I will enter: I used to think about the profession of a gynecologist, and now I am thinking about the profession of an accountant. Beautiful shell is not everything, I need education... I studied at school with “swings”: Chemistry - 5, Physics-3, my English was not very good, I liked French more. I was learning it for five years in a dance school, until I have been taken away - my parents became very religious, but that did not stop me from graduating from the course for models when I was thirteen years old, then I worked in the agency "Fashion Design" and "Pension P". I participated in all the shows until I felt some sort of apathy: a year stayed at home, doing nothing, waiting for something. And got it at last! My elder sister offered to call the "Sun Belle," I called – and it began!

- Did you doubt or was completely confident in your victory?
- I set a goal and, like all Sagittarians, went to it, not looking back, without a doubt. The fact that the jury was bribed was out of question! At the first rehearsals rivals did not take me seriously, and I felt like one of the best: the best walk, best dance, picture myself in the image better than others. Podium is everything for me, I bloom on it and the audience, probably, saw it. Amazing: six months ago I dreamed about seventeen roses for my birthday, and I was given - five, seven ... After the competition - I had hundreds of roses!

- How did your relatives, family and friends embrace your victory?
- My parents did not know until I arrived with a huge bouquet in Burunday and said, "I am Miss Kazakhstan!" They did not understand at once because of the suddenness. Then they slaughtered a ram, invited neighbors, and made a small party in my honor. Classmates called and congratulated: my graduation party coincided with the triumph of the contest - two holidays at once!

- Today fans, journalists are all around you. How do you feel yourself in the spotlight?
- Impressions, of course, are still fresh! Attention spoiled me, I am accustomed to the gazes, and sometimes I want to say: how am I tired of you! After all, I am an ordinary girl, and sometimes a gray mouse. Usual upbringing and education. My mother is a teacher, my father is a veterinarian. Like everyone else, I cook, wash, clean and milk cow very quickly. At home in Burunday there is only one mirror and it hangs badly - so I'm pretty without a mirror! In life, I feel like a very feminine and romantic, on the stage I can be fatal, and then associate myself with a predatory cat or a leopard...

- And how about love? What kind of man must be near the most beautiful woman in Kazakhstan?
- As with all women: a man with whom you can feel like a stone wall. My friend is six years older than me; I can not communicate with my peers at all. He is a lawyer, we have different interests, and he replaces my girlfriends and friends. By the way, I am not amorous, and will never suffer for someone who is not worthy of me! For the first time at the age of thirteen I fell in love head over heels, and did not really fall in love with me. What is the "first kiss"? I did not understand, a little tough and I forgot about it. I do not want to get married! All men are so strange! There are of course exceptions - one of thousands ... But now it is not important: all of my time I am learning English, history, do shaping - I have a contest awaiting for me ...
