Dear Friends and Fans,
As you may know by know I was chosen to participate in the (in my > view ) most amazing primetime TV show ” Dancing with the Stars”. I could not be happier - as I have been a fan of this show for years. Now even though all professional dancers on that show have simply outer-worldly skills and star charisma, I am beyond happy that I was paired with my partner Derek Hough. Now of course I am dedicated to my training, but I ‘d like to know

from you:
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR WINNING STRATEGY ? ANY TIPS ?

I finally made it back to poland after 17 years! how embarrassing but now is the time and decided to come back and show I am proud of my home country. I arrived a couple days ago and im totally jetlagged. Can’t sleep through the whole night but I guess I should be used to it since Im always traveling. I became friends with the polish presidents foreign policy advisor and he invited me yesterday for a vip tour of the presidents castle. I took some video of the rooms so will post on my website when I am back in the states and figure out how to do so :) unfortunately I didn’t get to meet with the president cause he was busy but if I was there a little erlier he was doing a special event for kids. On monday in europe its chidrens day and many organizations do things for children that are less priviledged. I am also here for that reason and today I am running an event for orphaned children, fosters and some that are blind and giving them toys. I cant wait to meet them and just the smile on their face will make my year :) I am planning on coming to poland every 2-3 months and organizing charity events for children and also my main cause animals. If anyone has special ideas for me next time and or contacts for orphanages that may wanna be inolved and also pet rescues and shelters that would be wonderful. for those in poland or those that have polish satellite you can watch me today (may 30) on DZIEN DOBRY TVN I ll be on sometime between 9-11……..kisses

Fur - the ultimate ignorance & cruelty

Since I am a huge animal activist and Humane Society of America and PeTA supporter I want to speak out against FUR. Over the christmas holidays I spent time in Vail to snowboard and  relax with the family …
I couldnt believe how many women were wearing fur coats! It drives me crazy. And we women are supposed to be the gentle, sensitive gender??!@#$%
A lot of the people who wear fur must live in the land of Cool Aid where ignorance rules… They avoid the truth about how  a large part of the fur industry is run. And then there are those who know and still wear fur  -  obviously just heartless human beings that just dont care. Well, karma is a bitch….I hope they are aware…..
Many of the “fur-wearing species” actually  think that they look sexy and rich wearing a dead animal on their shoulders. In reality the only people that would wear fur are those with very low self esteem and major insecurities -  that even includes famous music stars that obviously need constant attention or those that have no clue about what pain these poor angels go through.
The truth is that often the animal is skinned alive and then bleeds to death. Recently european authorities discoverd a fur shipment from far East that turned out to be cats and dogs fur - ever seen a video how they are piled up in cages and skinned alive? It ll cause you sleepness nights……But when one buys a fur coat, I guess all that matters is “look at me” and not ” who and what suffered the most unimaginable cruelty for this?”.
It’s beyond disgusting and dispeakable that in 2009 this still is going on.Most of this goes on in china and south korea and that is why I try not to buy products from those countries but almost everything is manufactored there, so it’s not easy to avoid it.
In any event: for those that have a heart or even just common sense, please spread awareness to your friends and as many people as you can.
And I encourage you to donate to organizations that fight animal cruelty worldwide….
like WSAP (www.wspa-international.org)
Just take a few minutes to read through the websites and get an idea of how much all our help is needed.
please watch my PeTA photoshoot and video 

As featured on www.Bestswimwear.com - Getting in shape

Of Course my job as a model  is mainly about looks  - and staying in shape is an issue when you are like me and like to eat.
Since I am getting asked a lot what I do, here my personal regime, that I layed out more extensively on the top swimwear website www.bestswimwear.com

I ‘m not big on breakfast, but don’t wanna miss out on nutirients, so I usually have a shot of Mona Vie in the morning…It’s an Acai juice.
cleanses and really keeps your appetite under control while giving you some good amount of antioxidants…

I recently switched to being a 95%fish-tarian and feel good without meat…if I have a strong craving for meat, I have a steak…but interestingly enough my craving for meat is  decreasing.
so I indulge in sushi (!!) and salads and seafood dishes and pasta….

in the evening I usually go out for dinner and eat pretty much what I want…BUT watch the portion and carb  intake ….But key is for me : trying not to eat later than 6pm, unless it’s a big night out with friends.

as for alcohol: when it’s party time I like my vodka and obviously its lower calorie than Wine, champage or sugar loaded cocktails. the super light version of  a little buzz is Vodka with diet coke.

as for sport: I am not big on the gym. So for those who wanna develope muscle mass fast without having to become a gym rat, try Powerplate
(google it)… just 20 min one time a week get me the result I need to stay in shape….No, I am NOT kidding you…(it’s Hollywood’s best kept secret to stay or get in shape fast)

But now  I am curious how YOU stay fit and what your diet secrets are….
