I Have A Feeling This Will Be A Great Week: Irina Shayk in V Man Magazine

We were gonna plug this on Friday, but figured it would be wise to wait until today. V Man magazine did a amazing shoot with Irina & even scored an interview with the S.I. Swimsuit cover girl! You can read the full interview at V Magazine >>>
Derek Blasberg of V Magazine: I’ve got you on holiday. That makes me jealous.
Irina Shayk: You should be! I’m in Portugal, on a lake, and it’s so beautiful. You’re the first person I’m talking to today, in fact. When I go away I like to be quiet, but I made a special exception for you.
DB Are you Portuguese?
IS No, but my boyfriend is.
DB We’ll get to the boyfriend in a minute, but if you’re not from Portugal, where are you from?
IS People think I’m Brazilian, or they think I’m Italian, or Spanish. So I say I’m an undercover Russian. I grew up in Emanjelinsk, which is a small village in the middle of nowhere. It is very simple and quiet. I had a garden, and after school I would plant potatoes and tomatoes.
