Even in the silence, Sonja moves like music is playing.

SHE HAS rhythm. She has style. Her long skinny body is a musical instrument, her well-defined ribs the keys of a piano; her jutting, sculptural hip bones like the curve of a saxophone; her smooth skin the snare of a drum. Musical similes come to mind perhaps because Sonja works in a record store in Kiev and likes to go to live concerts whenever she can.

It had never occurred to her to become a model and she always imagined she would work forever in the music world. But a friend suggested she went to a casting and the moment she removed her clothes she realized that she liked being naked, she liked the eye of the camera following her every movement. It brought out the music in her.

She still works in the record store, but she is enjoying the new freedom of being a nude model.
