March 30, the popular singer Laima Vaikule - birthday. It's still far to the evening!
Lyme, you are so changeable, constantly changing the images. Is it self-expression? And on what does the choice of the next appearance depend?
From the mood . If it is - with pleasure I dress up in bright colors, I experiment. When a person does not want to work on himself, he becomes outwardly monotonous. I like to engage in the style of other people. I remember, I participated in the television project "People's Artist". I was let down by the dresser, so the selection of the wardrobe of my wards began to be dealt with by myself. For three months I had to look for ideas for them, reflecting their "I" in clothes and appearance. Every day I thought about their new style, that it was youth, fashionable, unusual and to their face. After the end of the project, I continued to experiment with my image for another six months, according to inertia. Then I had a powerful incentive to try on as many stylistic solutions as possible. It is a very laborious process.
Popular singer Laima Vaikule, do you spend a lot of time choosing a toilet?
I can search for a couple of years, what I dream about. It happens when I do not know exactly what I want. Only approximately understand the direction in which to move. I like to mix polar fashion trends, to seek new ideas, and this takes time. I do not have affection for a certain designer: who will show the most original collection in the new year, he will be my favorite. But in any case my style is sporty. I prefer it at home: I have three dogs, and clothes should not restrain movements. On trips I also prefer comfort. I sympathize with the American fashion. Perhaps those two years that I worked in the US, so influenced, but for me it is very important functionality in clothing. I will never wear even the most beautiful outfit that I like very much, if it does not give the feeling of complete freedom and flight.
Laima, do you listen to the opinion of relatives about the style?
No. If someone frankly expresses dissatisfaction with me, I will not communicate with this person any more.
My mother is already used to it and knows that it is useless to convince me of anything. All persuasions are for nothing! For me, the inner sensation, my self, is important.
Popular singer Laima Vaikule, how do you feel about accessories?
I appreciate originality. If the accessories do not have raisins, they are absolutely indifferent to me. I feed weakness to stones, paillettes. Now the brilliance is in fashion. For about ten years I was, like magpie, to attract in dresses everything brilliant. It all began with jewelry and costume jewelry. That's when I tasted the pleasure of my own style.
Laima, a shine in clothes displays the same bright overflows and in the shower?
He has nothing to do with my state of mind. On the contrary, brilliant outfits conceal my true mood or can lighten up a tired look a bit: this is the whole point of brilliance. Diamonds and Swarovski crystals make the face more vivid.
Lyme, it turns out that in times of turmoil and depression you are trying to dress more expressively?
When I step onto the stage, I skilfully hide my real mood. And in everyday life I wear a bike suit and sit alone, until my depression waxes. This lasts until the moment when my favorite make-up artist comes and we begin to have fun. I need a very specific approach. If a person loves me, then intuitively he will protect me and understand in what situation it is necessary to show as much caress and tenderness. If he sees that I am without the mood - to be as attentive to my desires as Andrei (Andrei Latkovsky - Laima's civil spouse) is. That's why we are still together with Andrey. Men like to repeat after Kikabidze: "My years are my wealth".
What is the motto of the popular singer Laima Vaikule on the topic of age?
I agree with Kikabidze. Becoming older, you understand the true values. I do not imagine myself now as silly as at seventeen. I can even see by my students how much they have grown older over the years, more interesting, more beautiful. I'm sure: interviews can be given only after seventy years, and until that time - all this is just stupid nonsense. With age, a person becomes smarter, more sedate. I do not prefer talking with a youngster conversation with a wise man experience. And - theoretically! - Do you imagine yourself near a man much younger? It all depends on the man. Some sixty years old are more stupid than thirty. A man should be talented and have an uncommon charisma. I can not imagine myself in the place of Alla Pugacheva together with Maxim Galkin, for we are all bright personalities, completely different. For this it is necessary to live the same life as she, and to meet the same Galkin. I do not like to fantasize much, I'm realistic.
Have today changed the tastes of the popular singer Laima Vaikule, priorities compared to the young years?
Previously, for me it was the main to expose the body. Perhaps, because I performed in a variety show, and there the concept - a larger open female body. Today I want to be looked at in my eyes: I already have something to say. This is the age difference of my tastes. When you are silly, you try to charm with external data, and mature people want to surprise with a clever conversation. And a deep neckline or a long cut of dress does not contribute to this. From the height of the current experience - what do you consider your youthful stupidity?
And I'm still young now! My main mistake of my youth is love for myself. It seems to young people that they are the center of the universe. But when a person does not see anyone around him, except his own person, he is a dummy. So today this age for me is absolutely not interesting. But this is how life is structured, that we must go through certain stages and it is important that in the course of time a person does not remain as empty. This is our life purpose.
One of the most acute current problems is teenage addiction. At one time, the popular singer Laima Vaikule was also faced with this?
Teenagers are curious creatures and try to try everything in the making, they want to get rid of parental care more quickly, they hurry to know life.
Few people learn from other people's mistakes, often on their own. And I did not become an exception. But this story is in the past.
Popular singer Laima Vaikule, you have to communicate with different people - a profession like that. Is it possible to detach from unpleasant contacts?
The humorist Mikhail Zhvanetsky has an original answer to your question: "The smell is good: do not like it - go away." In creative issues, I deal only with adequate people. Today's indisputable plus of my independence: I can choose the circle of communication myself. What is the most difficult for you professionally?
Waiting for inspiration. This can take five years. Worst of all, when you are waiting for new creative ideas, unusual forms of self-expression, but they do not come!
Lyme, how do you spend your vacation?
Usually I leave for Africa. This is a unique place on Earth, where a lot of untouched territories have been preserved.
What else are you interested in except travel?
Nothing. I do not always have time to do myself. I can not imagine how I can be distracted by something else in my furious creative rhythm.
Lyme, your professional and your daily life are very different?
My work is my life, and I do not share it.
Are you a character - a hermit or need a close environment?
Like all, I need the warmth of my people. And the main thing in this is stability and stability. But I do not like crying on my shoulder. I reluctantly share my troubles, even with my mother. Sometimes she takes offense when she finds out that I do not devote her to my problems. Do you have a good relationship with your mother? Very warm. We live together in the same house. I can not imagine life without a mother, because I know that no one in my life will love me like she does. Who are your friends?
My friends , time-tested, are men from my environment (doctors, musicians, artists, directors). I had girlfriends, women, but the ladies are waiting for attention to themselves, men in this regard are not so demanding. Perhaps that's why my friends are exclusively men.
Lyme, you have overcome a serious oncological disease. After such serious illnesses, people radically change internally. What metamorphoses have occurred in you?
I became different: I began to love people, animals, the world around me and see others besides myself. Became more kind and tolerant. I am ready to help those who need it, and earlier could easily forget about the problems of others. It is very important.
Lyme, is it more important for you psychological or physical tone?
First of all - psychological comfort, although physical is needed for harmony. Find a full agreement with yourself and with the world - a titanic work, it's very few people succeed, except priests. Only they have a spiritual harmony, and ordinary people are subject to the stresses of our turbulent life.
Lyme, is your graceful figure a gift of nature or a result of daily hard training?
I'm pretty well built by nature, so I was lucky: there's no need to train until exhaustion. I like to pamper your body with massage, tanning, sea water, swimming in the pool - no extraordinary procedures. True, I'm on an eternal diet. Sometimes I allow myself sweets, but then I have to pay the bills: sit on solid grapefruits and pineapples. With alcohol I'm not friends: my body simply does not perceive it. I can afford a little whiskey. I was convinced: the woman's way of life completely affects her appearance.
