She has a dream - to star in a perfume commercial, she combines several professions and gets sincere pleasure from each, she knows how to heal the soul and how to look as if a producer is sitting at the next table. Diana Gloster - blogger, actress, singer and new girl in the Pink style - spoke frankly about her favorite thing, moving to Foggy Albion and love at a distance.

Interviewed by Alina Dolya.

About London. My move to London is a whole story with a lot of backstory. After school, I entered the Faculty of Law at KNU. But after studying there for two years, I realized that I couldn’t do this anymore and didn’t want to. I felt withdrawn and unhappy. Therefore, I transferred to the correspondence department and went to study in England at Music Production.

About the vlog. The first year in London I felt lonely. I often watched Russian bloggers and at some point decided that I also had something to say and it wouldn’t hurt to dilute the content a little. So I sat down and recorded the first video, which got enough a large number of views. Now I understand that my vlog For me it will always be a priority when it comes to my favorite activities. It turned out that I completely accidentally found an outlet for my creative energy and I’m still surprised that I didn’t do this before. I always worry before the release of my video; sometimes, I admit, I can do something that will definitely cause discussion.

On the technical side, I love the whole process. Video editing is like painting a picture; I have a picture in my head of what it should look like. When I sit down to edit, I don’t feel time, but I feel the video in every detail. I know that my vlog makes people smile because I try to inspire and always share my thoughts and experiences.

About television. I am the hardest on myself. When I was invited to audition for TV, I doubted it for a long time, but still decided to try my hand. At the casting they immediately put me in front of a camera with a microphone and that’s it, I felt that it was mine. Thanks to my work as a TV presenter at ID Fashion, I travel a lot, meet new people, and get incredible pleasure from it all. In addition, work allows me to be a better blogger, improve and develop.

About the career of a singer and actress. Since childhood, I have shown an interest in singing. I sing in different styles, but I can say for sure that lyrics are an integral part of me. Now I'm recording the first tracks. This is very exciting for me.

I want to be an actress, after starring in the Ukrainian film “Kiev Cake”, I fell in love with this profession. When you get into an acting environment, you open up, something incredible happens to you. I realized that I could do this all the time and never get tired. I even plan to go to acting school to gain new knowledge and improve my skills.

About beauty secrets. My skin suffers from flying, so I use aloe vera masks, which are very nourishing and soothing. I never wipe my face with a towel, only with paper ones, it turned out to be effective. Lipsticks are my passion, I love them bright colors. You can always determine my mood by the color of my lips. I’m one of those girls who are always “on parade”; my sense of self depends on it.

About sport. I am a very active person, I dance almost every day, these are completely different directions. I recently went to pole dancing and I love it, it’s a great workout for all the muscles. And when I’m traveling, I use the 30 day challenge app, which helps me stay in shape.

About inspiration. I am inspired by life and love adventure. Some funny stories always happen to me, sometimes psychologically complex, but it seems to me that this is preparation for something very important in my life. New acquaintances inspire me; I always find in people those qualities that I lack. And I immediately fall in love with them, I try to adopt something, learn something. I also really love architecture, this is what inspires me 100%. Aesthetic beauty can heal the soul.

About personal relationships. A long-distance relationship is an opportunity to stretch out the candy-bouquet period for several years (smiles). The main thing is communication. After all, the most common problem among couples is the lack of dialogue. As they say, “he doesn’t talk to me, and she doesn’t listen to me.”

Advice to a modern girl. I believe that we should be better than yesterday, and not better than others. IN modern world There is often a feeling that you always have to prove something to someone. In fact, it really constrains us, we spend too much time on the opinions of others.

It is important not to sit still, get out of the house, thanks to communication with the outside world, amazing things happen. And, of course, dream and do only what you like. I am against what they say you can’t sit with your butt on 2 chairs. Maybe it’s not possible with two, but with 4 it’s definitely possible. We have one life. If you close yourself off, then what is the point? You need to do whatever you want.

• Where did your musical attraction begin?

From early childhood, as long as I can remember and don’t remember, I dreamed of only one thing - to become a singer and perform on stage. This wasn't a recent decision where I just got bored and suddenly decided to start singing. I sang everywhere and always, at all kindergarten, school and university concerts, I always dreamed only of the stage, and studied vocals. I stopped at nothing in this pursuit, and some of the best teachers in London helped me with songwriting, voice training and dancing. After many years of knocking on a huge number of doors, sending my videos to many producers, I received my first response.

Name: Diana Gloster

Age: 22

Area of ​​activity: singer, video blogger, TV presenter, actress

Diana, you are a very versatile person, you have a whole list of your activities, but is there a direction to which your soul lies closest?

Of course, there is such a direction, and for me it is singing. For me, the career of a singer comes first. Naturally, I try myself in other different roles, but my main two professions are a singer and a video blogger. In any case, blogging is fading into the background, it's more like a hobby for me. But I never stopped singing, I don’t even remember when I started, because it was in early childhood.

- Is Gloucester a pseudonym?

This is my real last name, and that says it all.

Since childhood, have you wanted to become a TV star or did your parents, in particular your mother, actress Vita Chigrina, insist on this?

From early childhood I twirled in front of the mirror, gathered people, children around me, performed in front of them, sang, danced. It was my personal desire, but I had no desire to become a TV star, I wanted to always be in the center of attention, on stage, sing, dance, do something creative and creative.

- While studying at university, you moved to London. Why exactly there, and what contributed to this?

I chose London because England is one of the advanced countries in the music industry, and at the same time it is not as far away as America, which is even more advanced. All my life I lived with my family, with my little sisters, and I didn’t want to go so far for such a long period. Plus, having visited the USA, I realized that London in terms of atmosphere, feeling, mentality is for me perfect place in order to live.

You became famous after you started your blog under the nickname JustDLady on the Internet, where did you get your inspiration from?

My inspiration was the desire to find an outlet for my creative energy. I had a lot of ideas, a lot of different ideas. I didn't know how to use them. At that time I was studying, there was no opportunity to work somewhere. That's why I started blogging. And it was probably the best decision of my life.

- Do you like popularity and interest in you and your blog?

Of course, because, firstly, this is a big responsibility, since I have many little sisters, I’m used to responsibility, I’m used to the fact that you need to be a serious person. So I enjoy popularity, but I take it as a responsibility to let people know how I impact them, first and foremost.

- You were a presenter on the ID Fashion channel, would you like to continue your career as a presenter?

Of course, I just want to try myself in a slightly different role, perhaps in a different format, because ID Fashion had a rather narrow framework, one narrowly focused topic. I really want to try myself as a presenter, but in another show or program where I can open up, although at any moment when I have time, I would love to go with ID Fashion to the next fashion week.

In 2014, your debut film called “Kiev Cake” was released, were you invited, or did you yourself express a desire to participate in the casting?

The director found me through blogs, through my videos, he liked my type. He invited me to the casting, he was interested in what I could show in front of the camera. It turned out that this role was intended for me. Lisa's character is very close to me. Sometimes it even seems to me that he still lives inside me.

Unfortunately, the time when the film came out was very unfavorable. You could even say that the distribution failed; the film was seen by a very small number of people. Soon this film will be released on TV channels, people will see it, and I think there will be some proposals. At least I'm really looking forward to them.

- This year you attended the Grammy Awards, many critics called your outfit unsuccessful, how did you feel about it?

It depends on which critics, because there are many critics, but, for example, Vogue Australia, Vogue Russia, several world-famous publications in England and Spain put me on the list best dresses on the Grammys red carpet this year. Therefore, I focus more on publications that are indicative, rating, infinitely cool, and I was very pleased with this. Even if we ignore all these publications, while I was there, I saw people’s reactions. When I entered the path, all eyes, all the journalists were fixed on me. This was a great feature. My dress was even appreciated by Taylor Swift. She walked past me and said that I had a wonderful dress. My jaw immediately dropped, I was confused, froze and couldn’t believe it. For me this is the highest rating.

- What do you do in your free time, how do you relax?

I have very little free time, but when I have it, I really like going to the cinema. I love the smell of popcorn, even if I don't eat it myself. I absolutely love this atmosphere, I love watching good movies or cartoons. Sometimes I can just lie around and read a book. But this happens very rarely, because, as a rule, when I have a free minute, I immediately sit down to edit the video.

- What is your view on daily life?

I look at life with great interest and curiosity. I always wonder what will happen tomorrow. I just try to enjoy every minute as much as possible, every process in my life, the people I meet, the events that happen to me. Because this is important, and if you don’t pay attention to it, then life will fly by, and I want to remember as much as possible.
