This was our only way of making money back then.”, , Anya admitted that she was very conscious of her appearance and once even tried to kill herself., , She also dreamed of undergoing plastic surgery, but had no financial means to consider it a realistic option., , Anya said: “While I was waiting at a train station with my grandmother one day, I saw another girl with a burned face like mine., , “We talked and I asked her how she got her injuries. The girl was electrocuted. To me, her face looked worse than mine. That day, I realised I was not alone.”, , Later in life, Anya got married and try to start again but has been left at the same time that she discovered she was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter., , Anya told Newsflash: "My daughter's name is Dasha, she is 11 years old. She is used to my face.", , She was also lucky enough she says to have met Alexey, who she is now living with as her common-law husband.

A TV show promised to help me get a visa to go to the US and have an operation there, but it never happened.”, , She said: “I didn’t study or work. I didn’t even get a job. I have accepted I will never be chosen for any jobs because of my appearance.”, , The family is now looking for a new home in a larger town or city where they hope to be able to turn around their fortunes., , (T4 / ends)

Kristina Kugler : AI Art
Pierrette Godinot : Kristina Kugler effectivement, quand on voit 2 pouces sur une même main et uniquement 3 doigts à l'autre.... il y a quelques indices
Emilie Em : Robert Capa est né en 1913..
Inter Brette : Emilie Em, quelle précocité chez ce Mozart de la photo
Valérie Bron : Impressionnant
Inter Brette : Valérie Bron, enfin quelqu'un sensible à la puissance de cette image et qui ne s'arrête pas aux détails ("quand le sage montre Van Gogh, l'idiot regarde les doigts")
Marie-Pierre Raymond Rosso : Inter Brette ce n'est pas l'idiot qui montre les doigts mais l'incohérence de votre phrase pour ne pas dire mensonge
Inter Brette : Marie-Pierre Raymond Rosso, désolé, je voulais dire "quand l'idiot montre Van Gogh, les sages regardent les doigts"

Décidément, j'adore ce réseau "social" où, quand quand tu dis bonjour aux gens, tout ce qui les intéresse, c'est de vérifier le nombre de tes doigts. Je crois finalement que je préfère m'adresser à Alexa
