I am Eva Believer. My stage name became my religion, because nothing might be achieved without a strong belief!

I have a huge career in my past. I have a Master Degree in Performing arts such as an Opera, Piano, Musical Theatre and Drama Theatre, also TV and Cinema. I have been working in the most popular TV sketch comedy show as an actress for almost 7 years. I have been filmed in almost every talk show and have been photographed and interviewed for the well-known life style and fashion magazines in Lithuania and UK.

Also, I had a classical music band, well known in my country, based on singing opera mixed with a modern rhythm. I had an honour to perform for the country's president, different country's embassies, stadiums, TV shows and various stages, accompanied by orchestra or piano.

One of my main jobs today, which is also my passion and the aim I’m striving to, is modelling. I am happy to say that I am successfully working as a size plus model in UK for a fitting, catwalk, fashion, photographic, promotional, commercial, catalogue model. I do pose for painters as well. I am always in search of something new, dramatic, touching and deep...I absolutely adore the moment when camera is capturing different modes like joy, sadness, pain or passion. Also I think that professionalism is the bare necessity working in modelling industry!!

 

I would never think in hundred years that I ever will be working as a model!! I came from the country, where size plus modelling doesn't exist as there's no single store or brand you could model for or shop for the size 18 and upwards...I always had a bit bubblier personality and the wish to be feminine and fashionable, so just imagine how hard was to create any look coming from my fantasy while all what I had in my cupboard was a pair of black boring trousers made by my local seamstress and few black, baggy jumpers, I accidentally found in second hand shop.. Living the life full of constant criticism towards my body complexion and overweight, coming from people and media,( I got used to weight 17stone) I gave up unconsciously and after having a proposal to lose weight healthy in alternative medicine centre ,on one of the TV talk shows, I finally accepted it! I lost approximately 7stones in 9months...Looking back at the time I could not state the fact that having almost perfect body I also had more of the body confidence! It’s like an obsession, the more you try the more minuses you see in yourself and never would tell yourself , looking at the mirror, that today you are who you are and must be grateful and loving! My body could not adapt to the such a quick and major weight loss, so my health was ruined, which as a results I still experience today...genetically I never was meant to be slim like my size 10 sister! So the weight slowly came back, as I had so many challenges in my career and eating salad with porridge on the daily basis was nothing I could handle no more...

 

Since I moved to UK, my life changed completely! As I said before, I stepped into modelling industry very accidentally and unplanned. To be honest with you, I never thought I was born to be a model in terms of my bone structure or particular look that I’ve got. Also I had a zero of experience as a model and did not have any idea where to start from!  I was lucky to meet quiet few amazing people, who introduced me to this industry, also taught me and disclosed quiet few modelling secrets. It’s challenging to be size plus model as you always need to prove that being a big girl you are able to look tasteful, beautiful or fashionable as well as smaller size models are. I love my job, new people I meet, different experiences I face and also travelling to the different locations is mostly enjoyable too!

 

In the end I would like to invite everybody to be realistic but never judging, because that’s what I experienced and I think that’s where the positivity comes from!  Just stand in front of the mirror this morning and ask yourself if you are happy about what you see. And even if your appearance is nothing you like, just remember, no changes can be made before you do not embrace and accept yourself at the present moment! I am sure you can find at least 3 beautiful things about yourself so take these beautiful things with you when walking down the sunny beach with fashionable swimwear and smile being proud of who you are!!
