Tell me what kind of shoes you love, and I will say - who you are. This truth does not work when it comes to Tatiana Bulanova. The singer buys completely differently sometimes the styles and colors, and it is difficult to say, in which copies its true "I" is hidden.
Obviously one thing: in the collection still more evening classics. And this means - her mistress professes traditional values. She feminine, patient, loves family. Even participating in the "dance with the stars", the singer did not part with his collection. He took boxes with shoes with them to Moscow. Not because it sought to change shoes like gloves. In secret Tatyana admitted that the contemplation of loved ones "Trofeyev" causes her peace and a tide of creative forces.
- I have a huge number of shoes, I collect them for twenty years. I do not know exactly how many pairs are at home - probably seven hundred and eight hundred. And since I love classic models that are relevant out of time, then many exhibits use at concerts. I like in the shoes strictly defined things: the shape of the heel, the nose, the degree of openness of the fingers is important. I pay attention to the texture, quality of the skin, fabric and jewelry. There are several couples in the collection, which I put on only one or twice or did not wear at all. But they are so beautiful that I can't part with them.

- Why did the collection begun?
- The first gorgeous shoes appeared in me in 1991. Black, lacquered boats. They approached almost all the outfits and looked very stylish. I spent a long time in concerts. These shoes are alive and now: throw away a couple, in which I once fell in love, the hand did not rose. They laid the beginning of the collection. I removed the boat into the box and put in the wardrobe. Since then, a rare copy of the collection leaves my house. In general, I very carefully wear shoes and carefully care for her.
- What did you wear the USSR in the era?
- I have a very small leg - thirty-fifth size. This feature got me from Mom. Such a cousushkina stop doubly complicated the purchase of shoes. Not only that the fashionable shoes themselves are a deficit, so also the size is not running. I remember when I studied at school, I got boots by Blat. Some I wore on five to six years. Therefore, I know how to take the shoes. Immediately after purchase, it is necessary to make a roll. (Of course, if you do not plan to walk only indoors.) This will help not spoil the sole, which is on good corporate shoes from thin skin. I have my own master, I go to the atelier near the house where everyone knows me for a long time. After each socks, I definitely my sole with a brush, I give shoes to dry and put them back to the "native" box. I have a lot of different brushes, as well as care products for suede, leather and even a cloth. I am with great respect to my exhibits.

- Are all instances on the heel?
- ninety-nine percent. I am a little good, and without heels on the stage (and in life) I just can not. I have, of course, uggs and moccasins. But this is not a weekend shoes, but for trips, walks in nature or a hike to the store.
- How are all passionate collectors, do you constantly think about replenishing the treasury?
- At least on tour or on vacation abroad, first of all I go into shoe stores. I have shoes from America, Germany, Japan, Argentina ... Yes, all countries are not listed! There are models in the collection, which, for example, not trendy, but they still like me. Like any collector, the frequency of purchases depends on the circumstances. Honestly, dream shoes do not always have enough money. After all, the designer shoes stands not cheap.
- What is the most expensive couple in the collection?
- These are "crystal shoes", which in the house of Leningrad trade did for me to order. I called the size, we long discussed the details ... As a result, gorgeous scenic shoes were turned out, which shimmer and sparkle. I will not call the figure, but it is with big zeros. In general, I have several pairs existing in a single instance. Designer Alice Tolkachev, for example, also made shoes specifically for me.

- I look, you have a lot of shoes with rhinestones. Do you love it?
- Only on stage. In everyday life, the opposite: rhinestones look vulgar. I do not understand how you can go outside in sparkling shoes. On the stage they work as part of the show. I have several models with silver, gold and black rhinestones. Something ordered masters, and something even glued itself. It is not so difficult and much cheaper. But the "Cinderella shoes" from DLT are good and the fact that there are large rhinestones ahead of them, special. I am very shore "Crystal shoes", I try not to flutter them without need.
- And what shoes were on you during the show "Dancing with the stars?"
- There was special shoes in which it is impossible to walk down the street. These are shoes on heels and a very soft leather sole, so they are light on the legs like slippers. Two pairs were picked up in a special store, I bought one myself. It turns out that the dance shoes have their own rules. Classic (for example, waltz) can be shown only in closed shoes. And Rumba and Cha-Cha-Cha - in the open. Heel height also varies. By the way, my partner Dima Lyashenko also had special men's shoes. They differ slightly from the usual. After the completion of the project, all three pairs remained with me, in the Moscow apartment. I think may, by separating them with rhinestones and will use for the scene.

- Is there a spoiled exhibits in the collection?
- Some broken in half a heel, I killed them back in 1997. I performed in these shoes at every concert, because they were very comfortable. Silk, with rhinestones, they still lie in the corner of the wardrobe.
- What is it for bright yellow, slaughter color "Labuten"?
"This is Sarah Jessica Parker." In Russia, such shoes do not sell. I could book it only on the Internet. They are very comfortable, despite the sharp nose. And materials from which they make shoes, always high-quality. A distinctive feature of these studs is such a special convex thoughts from behind. In my opinion, he only adorns the model.
- Do you have a favorite copy in the collection?
- Not. But there are elegant shoes that I have already cleaned several times, I changed the heel, but it did not find anything more convenient yet. And often work in them.
- Men your collection replenish?
- Many couples gave me a husband. He has already studied my taste. Percent for eighty Vlad is in color and size. It is especially pleased with the fact that I can find practical application to all instances. Even some fright shoes that do not wear in everyday life, I can use on stage. And about my size, they are crushed with mom: if there are no shoes, do not sell them anyone. I am secretly happy: why part with them?!

- It happens that during the next lookouting treasure suddenly falls in the hands of a forgotten copy?
- In fact, I have everything under control. Shoes are stored in boxes, each of them is signed. From time to time I return to my catalog and refreshing memory.
- What happened to your wedding shoes?
- It was not shoes, but white guipure boots. I bought them in the cabin along with the dress. But since we went a lot on foot around the city, taking pictures in different places, then the boots were wet and stained. November was in that year very slurred. I decided to wash the rarity, and boots ... sat down. I had to throw this beauty. Probably, this is the only estimated collection of the collection for twenty years.
- Admit, you could break up at least with one trophy, give someone?
- Honestly, I did not think about it. Sons they are unlikely needed, and the size is special, except that the teenage girl is suitable. But it seems to me that you should not give shoes. Well this is not a broken one and not a pendant. This is very personal, individual. It's not a fact that another person is ideal for what pleases you.
- Can you on the shoes to determine what is before you?
- Of course, in detail I can make a mistake, but the character and addiction will understand. I often look at shoes when I get acquainted with someone. Not on the company and price, although it is also for someone marker. For example, I know that the boats love creative nature. Platform shoes often wear narcissist ladies, dreaming of being the center of the company. Ballets are homemade, good women, and shoes without backs - a business woman. In the book on psychology, I thought that the same broken heels point to the fact that a woman is a good mistress and mother. If the heel is erased at the outer edge - it means that the person is initiative, and from the inside - the appeal.

- Do you know other collectors of shoes?
- I personally do not. But I heard that Madonna has the same passion. She has under a thousand shoe pairs. And some singer's shoes are not wearing at all - they are so fragile and valuable.
- Collection affect your mood?
- Sure. When I am sad, I lead myself as the heroine of the film "Sex in the Big City". She opened the boxes, laid out the shoes around and could consider them hours. This story is about me. I also love to look at my collection. They are all so different! Velvet, silk, suede, reps, leather, lacquered. And all the colors of the rainbow. I love to touch the heels, because the form is very important for me. It happens, you fall in love with the heel in the store and immediately buy this pair, I don't even look at the price.
