Olga. Let’s face it, it ain’t a pretty name. It just doesn’t sound pretty, and it certainly doesn’t bring to mind anyone pretty. Olga is old. She’s burly. Somehow she was never young and certainly never cute. She waits in a bread line with big black shoes on and wears a long, dark, heavy, wool coat. And she could kick the shit out of an ox if she had to. But perhaps this preconceived notion is due to our limited exposure to the name Olga. Perhaps it’s because we’re children of the Cold War and students of the film Rocky IV. Perhaps if we lived west of Berlin, the name Olga would roll off our tongues like the names “Savannah” and “Jen.” And perhaps if we had been acquainted with Olga Kurylenko long before a few weeks ago, then we’d already know better. Because it took just one look at the seductively charming face and magnetic green eyes of this 27-year-old actress/model from the Ukraine to wipe away all our preconceptions of girls named Olga and rewrite the book for all those to come, or at least the ones who are supermodels.

You likely don’t know Olga by name but, like Wicked Chops Poker, she’s kind of a big deal over in Europe where she’s been on top of the fashion scene for some time now. She’s been the main Bebe model and has graced the covers of all the top ‘zines, and she’s appeared in several films including starring in the widely acclaimed film “L’ Annulaire.” She’s also done a fair bit of lingerie modeling, and we’re not talking the kind of lingerie modeling you’re used to down at that crappy ole strip mall, you perv. We’re talking high end stuff here, like the stuff you’ll see after the jump…
