When I think of “male models”, personas like Zoolander and Hansel come to mind. It’s hard to not picture them as beautiful but ditsy guys fixated on just their appearance, until I came across Russian model Stanislav Jakuschevskij.
When he commented on one of my Instagram posts, naturally I checked who he was and I was pleasantly surprised. Actually, it wasn’t only his photos that kept me browsing but his lighthearted, self-depreciating humor à la Conan O’Brien that floored me. He was also kind, down-to-earth and funny with his replies to those who would comment on his posts. So I thought I'd share this discovery :)
So buckle up for some of his hilarious captions and enjoy! If you want to read more, just check his Instagram profile. He does a wicked Moonwalk as well (copy-paste the link to see https://instagram.com/p/17oSV2PRI-/ )

He's a great storyteller
His caption:
"[Before-after taming the beard-beast] You might ask: 'Dear intergalactic planetary captain of awesomeness Jakuschevskij, why do you have curlers in your hair? Are you trying to be fancy? Is that what it is?' And I might answer: 'Fashion' and moonwalk out of the room in silence keeping eye contact while the wind blows through my beautiful curls."

He's currently looking for a place to stay in Milan and this is what he wrote...(if you can help him out, email him via love@two-giants.com)
"I will come to Milan on October 20th and need a room to stay for a month (maybe more). For starters, a bed or a sofa or a rug or a wooden floor would suffice. I am a grown man I sure can handle hard wood. This sounded wrong, you know it, I know it, lets face it, I am extremely fun to live with, so spread the word that it halls back at me in form of rooms in Milan!
"If you share this message to your friends in or around Milan, a unicorn will softly kiss your bum cheeks every morning to wake you up.
"If you don't share this, Chuck Norris will roundhouse-kick your crotch every morning to wake you up. It's up to you.
"My fate and the fate of your crotch lies in your hands, friends. If you're not sure, let me motivate you with this famous quote from Nelson Mandela: 'Help Stas find a room in Milan! And Worldpeace!' - Mandela (probably)"
He's a Jamie Oliver in his own way

1. One generous table spoon of sparkling golden beard.
2. One handful of some wicked darkness aka the black beard.
3. One knife pinch of explosive nitro redness -> la barba roja.
4. Drown them in a mix of Deep House/Since Fiction Jazz and observe the madness.
5. Be amazed. Fall in love. Fly to Mars. Promote synergy. Hit on Deborah (like a boss). Get rejected (like a boss). Cry deeply (like a boss)…ok ok I got carried away. It was a great dinner party."
