Saving lives. It's what an angel does. Angels have been known to recsue us from our demons, sef-destructive ways to physically saving our lives. Here at Angels Playpen, we know angels come in many different forms, children, parents, men of valor and women of kindness. However, we celebrate the angels who so often never get the recognized for their contributions outside their beauty. Today we have Valya Romanova, who not only saves us men from death of desire but works with surgeons saving real lives.

The angel before us, though seemingly descended from the heavens themselves, is originally from Mesquite, Texas. Fittingly she is now living in the city of angels; Los Angeles. There she shares her home with four adorable canines; B.B., Belle, Brutus and Benji. A true angel, she is charitable whenever possible, giving to causes that touch her heart. She finds pleasure in charitable acts, spending time with family and friends, traveling and shopping.

“I am on the countryside in Sweden and I am sitting near a window and I see fields and a small hill with some trees,” our angel states. “Missing a blue sky because it’s a cloudy day.” Cloudy day and all, her mood is sunny. She answers my questions with a refreshing candor, embracing the exchange I find myself absorbing her words.

Oooh! There’s a cockroach…  Of course I am just kidding in an attempt at humor, toying around with our current angel’s biggest fear in life. I know I have failed, however, my ploy works as an introduction to Solveiga Mykolaityte. A Lithuanian angel with high-fashion looks, couture aesthetics and glamorous poses, whose story is one of mystery and obvious ambition. “I come from Lithuania,” she says, repeating the  well-known fact, “but now live in New York.” Both of her parents are Lithuanian. “I am 100% Lithuanian,” she announces proudly. “So I am [a] real Baltic girl.”

“I’m in sunny Florida,” says our angel, “and I see a definite beach day out my window.” A picturesque scene of an angel seated in her home surrounded by heaven is practically hand-drawn in front of me like a sketch by an artist in Times Square; picture perfect. As she tells of the vision before her she seems content and happy as if she is seated in her favorite place in her home, which actually turns out to be her kitchen.

“My name is Kara Cooper, I’m a model from the Okanagan, BC area,” is her opening statement, beginning a tour of words that will ultimately show much of what we need to know about the angel. “I’m at home and I see a lovely view from my window,” she says being open and mysterious in the same breath. Growing up, “I was pretty shy actually,” confesses Kara. “I was often quiet when first meeting people, but would open up once getting to know them better.”

Life is about choices. We have all heard this before. The model before us is known just as much for the choices she makes as for the breathtaking beauty she is. One major choice she made was a vegan lifestyle forged out of her love of our planet. “I know for a fact that I am on the correct path that I’ve always wanted to be in,” Creestaaal says of her choice to go Vegan. I myself, am a struggling humanitarian so angels like Creestaaal become beacons of inspiration, idealism and consciousness. “I would love to inspire many to make the compassionate choice and go Vegan,” she continues, “I would love to be a role model for everything Vegan.”

“I’m Puerto Rican, Italian, German and Irish,” says the eye-catching beauty before us. She is quite the mix. “Ha ha,” she laughs, “I know [it’s] a lot! People are always surprised when they hear my answer. I actually get asked quite often because I am told I look mixed.” She does. “The Puerto Rican and Italian come from my mom and the German and Irish comes from my dad,” she concludes. “My name is Lucy Marie but you will rarely hear anyone call me by my name,” she says excitedly. “It’s either Lu Lu or Lou.”

Hawaii was amazing! A trip to remember. Tanny Marie has just listed the tropical island as one of her favorite destinations. Thoughts of the trip flash in her mind as she sees her image smile back at her through a mirror in her bedroom. Miami and New York City also make the list; both are great for dining and partying. Choices made with future decisions certain to increase her list, the world need beware. Being a model will aid in her traveling, it’s one of the perks of the profession. Born in Houston, Texas and raised in sun-filled Florida, Tanny admits she’s a “total” beach bunny. Spaniard, German, French and Irish, the multi-national beauty lives conveniently by a beach. To her delight there is also a nature trail and track for her to indulge. “I love [the] outdoors,” she says.

It’s early morning, though it’s quiet now, this is New York City and things could change in a flash. I take the time to ponder life, love and the pursuit of happiness; three things that mean the world to me. Sometime we forget that we are living a certain life that has a meaning and a purpose, so many never get to discover this about themselves so they remain in a kind of purgatory, unable to progress and mature. For those of us like this I would make a simple suggestion; do something you love and keep doing it. Through doing what you love you will find meaning and purpose. For Brittany Pennington, her decision to become a model brought positive changes, gave her life substance and reason. “I am more confident in myself and for once I really have a passion and love for what I do,” says the dark haired, tatted-up beauty.
