Who Are You, Anastasya Makeyeva?

And why have 14,000 people opened my review of The Rider Named Death in the past 15 days looking for you? And an additional 8,000 have clicked on your person page, which is a dead end.

I know that you are a Russian model, and that my site is one of around 42 English-language sites Google produces when readers search for your name (it was at six before last weekend). But still. My other reviews feel neglected. Nine Songs, which is the worst movie I've ever paid to see, attracts only around 500 readers each month, and those readers tend to include the term "nude" or "sex" in their searches. But not your fans, Anastasya Makeyeva. Only 160 of your fans asked for pictures, and they just want you—your state of dress or undress is irrelevant to them.

I'd like to think that your presence on my site is generating more traffic to the site in general, that I'm gaining new fans impressed by the fact that I watched an obscure Russian movie, but I doubt this is the case. They click on that one review and move on. At least they're doing it in droves.

Simply because she is the only woman *without* a picture in this list:

Which is currently the first link anyone sees when opening hotmail.

I guess lots of people got *very* curious how she looked.

So, was she hot?
