LatvianGirls.net EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Marika Ģederte, President of Latvian Blondes Association

Latvians by nature are negative and sceptic to every thing people do, there are always more negative than positive. Prostitution usually is created by wrong politics of country. Those who are looking for such opportunity, always will find it, and I don't think that parade can stimulate prostitution. I believe the prostitutes don't take a part of such activities normally. I know ladies who participated that they are serious in business, active life, they are housewives. Being public person for some time, I don't listen to opinions and comments any more, I just do.

It was funny to see that close to 70% chosen pink, even requested dress code was red, pink and white. First parade showed up also some mistakes and let us learn for future. That is why we choose yellow for next year, telling society that blondes prefer also other colors. If parade would be in traditional costumes (which we also had this time) or whatever they wear, it would not have such attention. We requested team work and most stylished, most funny, most original, most sportive etc. got prizes. Participants had good sense of humor, they were proud to show up that they are blondes and this is brave step.

Yes, the most popular ones are the Jorksheer terrier, Russian toyterrier.

Latvians have perfect body proporcions, prefer healthy lifestyle, in general they are good in shape and attractive. We always joke that blondes prefer good shoes than dinner. I believe Latvia is kind of paradise and dream country for man as woman here taking care of themselves more than in any country even they are married and have kids. Man loves woman also with eyes and appearance here in general is more esthetic than in Great Britain.

Woman has stronger intuition than man and in crisis situations woman has more natural power than man

To my mind, Latvian political situation now is close to chaotic, short term economical and political overview which will bring us back to 1997.

There are a lot of different shades of Blonde hair and Latvia definitely has own Latvian shade. Some brunette when she put fake hairs during the parade told: "Oh my God, never in my life I had such attention from man. I will change my hair color after parade". But this is not what we want. We have to love our hair, ourselves as we are.

Yes, I am typical "Latvian blonde", light grey blonde. Just after they high school I wanted to become platinum blonde, so I colored hairs lighter. We always joke – when we become smarter, our hair boots become darker

Legally Blonde - I am mother of five and the half years old son, already 13 years in business, having Master degree in business administration, I am chairwoman of board and owner of 3 companies in Latvia related to cosmetics, College of the cosmetology, UVB Ltd. and MG agency Ltd. President of Latvian Aesthetic Association, President of Latvian suntanning association and member of European Suntanning association. I am also married for 13 years. Officially holding titles as Mrs Globe Latvia 2005 and Mrs Universe 2008, I am public person in Latvia. In fact, Riga will host Mrs Universe 2009 beauty pageant for married woman because of my winning last year in Bulgaria.

To be successful we need balance in life – career, family and fun. Hope this could be the best motto for Blondes.

Depressions and bad moods become Latvia even more powerful each day, but what You did, really deserved a good impression! All our project maintainers liked it. Not a miracle You have had so many replies from all over the world. As usually it happens in Latvia, we don't see the things in front of our eyes, but it seems this time You've got luck to catch them. Thank You for Your actions - and good luck in the next years!
