Many thanks to one gentleman, who recently sent me all of my photos.

However, you can search for it, at your peril, with the DuckDuckgo browser.

It was a background feature about Dasha (aka Anya, Alexia, Maya, Julietta, Sonya A, Lera), one of the most popular models for LS Studios.

What follows is the text of the actual post, largely unaltered by me except for the occasional clarification or grammatical edit.

In 2014, a woman going by the name of Maya posted a statement on a Russian Blog dedicated to former child models about her time with LS Studios, and what happened during that time.

The following is a English translation of the source link Sadly, the original link was not cited in the post.

Note that Maya gives conflicting accounts on why she stopped modeling in 2004.

I had a great family with lovely grandparents, and my parents loved me.

Back in the days, there was an TV ad about a company that provided an opportunity for children to become actors or actresses.

The ad was so good and tempting that we (my parents and me) bought into it blindly.

And at the end we didnt expect that one day they would ditch us.

They said that all those sets were published on foreign websites (mostly, American) and offered to make nude sets.

She spent a lot on things (food and sometimes clothes) to get me ready for photo sets.

Each time it cost about 200 Hryvnias (about 28 in early 2000s).

The thing is that I really enjoyed the process of making photo sets.

Each girl liked when staff helped her with makeup, haircuts and getting dressed and treated her as a Hollywood star.

The company had a tiny sewing room, where they produce costumes and stunning dresses.

Oh, by the way, I want to mention that they didnt force us to strip.

We played while they were making photos with us and it was just a fun thing to get undressed.

As I am speaking for myself, I have no idea whether they did something with other models, but nobody touched me thats for sure.

Under normal circumstances the only people I was touched by were the makeup artist and hairdresser.

The staff in general worked very hard to make sure, that models didnt make friends with each other.

I think they did it on purpose, because they were changing crews very often.

They were worried about our feelings for that matter.

I guess. The weird thing was that I was only given 3 photos from each set.
