One to watch: Natalia Barulich, ballet dancer turned sexy model

You may have caught model Natalia Barulich in our latest edition of the 101 hottest celebrity Instagram pictures of the week last week, because once we laid eyes on her, we knew she had to be included.

So tell us a little about yourself Natalia?

I’m a former ballet nerd. I studied for 17 years and it was my obsession. I was home schooled in high school and picked on for always being different. It’s ironic, all those people who teased me are now coming out of the woodwork due to my success modeling. I’ve always been true to myself and am incredibly passionate about what I do. I admit I have have a quirky personality, but that sets me apart from being just another model! I love to entertain people and make them laugh. 🙂
