Miss May 2017
Lada Kravchenko
The authentically humble model: a unicorn-like myth or a real, if rare, phenomenon? Moscow-born May Playmate Lada Kravchenko will have you convinced such beings walk among us. Her cool, classical beauty may conjure such words as flawless and intimidating, but she would like you to know things aren't always what they seem. “Many girls judge themselves harshly because they look at other people on
Instagram and think, ‘She's living the perfect life.’ Nobody lives a perfect life.”
While her life may not be perfect, Lada, who currently resides in Manhattan, has created one full of variety. She has lived in Paris (she speaks “a really tiny bit” of French), Milan and Hong Kong, and she's a three-time attendee of Burning Man. Broad-minded and independent, she's also currently single. “Half my friends are like, ‘What's wrong with you?’—like I'm supposed to have some guy with me,” she says. “My response is, ‘You know what? I just want to be by myself. I'm fine.’ I like to dance. I like to go out with my friends. So many girls fixate on guys and don't make a life for themselves.”
Innocent flirting, on the other hand, makes her feel sexy. “I know it's ridiculous, but I have a best friend who's a guy and I flirt with him all the time,” she says. “I know nothing's going to happen because we're like brother and sister, but it just feels good. It's fun.” Surprisingly, Lada isn't used to guys hitting on her. “If I wanted to be approached, God, I would waste my life, for sure. It doesn't even depend on how good you look. Guys are intimidated. They don't approach girls.”
This means she's well-practiced at taking matters into her own hands. “I'm very straightforward, so my flirting unfortunately looks more like an attack,” she admits with a sheepish smile. “I make eye contact, right? And then I come up and just start making small talk, asking what he's drinking, how his day was, all these questions.” Whether or not she employs her assertive-flirting tactics, Lada loves a proper night out. “I'm completely obsessed because when I was younger I was a nerd and spent a lot of time at home, studying and cooking.” It's clear a livelier existence is better suited to her dauntless personality. “Security is the most boring thing on earth for me,” she says. “I just want adventures all the time.”
