Lena and Yulia are real naughty girls. It's actually part of their charms…
They are also fake lesbians. And it's part of their charms as well!
You can't fool history forever! In 1346 BC, some clever people thought they could hide Tutankhamun's tomb. It was discovered nonetheless in 1922. For two decades, we thought that Albert de Monaco's sexuality was exclusively dedicated to the joy of pushing a bobsled surrounded by studs in leotards. On 5 May 2005, Paris Match revealed his manly secret. In 2003, your favorite magazine had already interviewed the duo t.A.T.u., for the first hit of the two lesbian stars, All The Things She Said, and until this day, you didn't know about it! One of our reporters had been sent to a Parisian palace to meet Yulia and Lena who were barely 18 at the time. The two lolitas were waiting in their bedroom, lying on a double bed where he was asked to join them. Four or five other adorable girls were also walking around between the bedroom and the bathroom, babbling in Russian, playing on a computer, one of them was even painting her toe nails. A translator was translating the questions. While answering, Yulia the brunette and Lena the redhead were rolling around on the bed, fondling each other, chatting with the other girls, comparing their belly buttons, laughing and pointing at FHM's reporter… And the translator would sum up those five minutes in a more than brief: "They say they like Paris very much." That "interview" was therefore never published…
For their new album Dangerous & Moving (Polydor) and their hit All About Us, we were assured that the titillating minxes of the Russian pop would behave. It was not that obvious during the photoshoot since Yulia was constantly petting her Lena like a poodle. The interview itself happened face to face and… sitting down. A bit vengeful, FHM's reporter had a clear objective, to hit on them to see how they would react!
Lesbian or not? At the time of the release of ATTSS, all the press was wondering…
Yulia and Lena: …
Ok… What was the worst article written about you?
Lena: There was plenty. While reading them, i was thinking "Ah, i've really done that?" For example, i discovered that i was pregnant from my producer. The newspaper seemed so sure that i wondered if maybe i should check!
What are the compliments that you like to read about you the most?
Lena: That we have very beautiful voices and that we have become top professionals.
Yulia: And that we are the first Russians to have conquered the world!
If you are nice to FHM, we will publish the compliments you want to read!
Lena: Hum… We'd rather let you make your own opinion.
Your album is titled Dangerous & Moving. What kind of danger can come from two young girls like you?
Lena: It’s not us who are dangerous, it’s life, the world and all those people who have no respect for others.
Yulia: Haven't you noticed all those robots who surround us?
What do you like most and least about each other?
Lena: I like everything about Yulia! Nothing wrong there! She's my friend, my sister. I can call her at 4am and tell her that i'm not feeling well, i know she'll come over.
Yulia: Me too, i like everything about Lena, even if she has some little flaws: sometimes she cries and yells at me. You know, i could kill for her!
What do you envy about each other's physical appearances?
Lena: Nothing.
Yulia: Me neither.
But, Yulia, look: Lena has much bigger breasts than you!
Yulia: I'm not jealous. I'm just amazed how you men are always attracted so much to Lena’s breasts!
Lena: It's really not fair! Because, believe me, Yulia also has very beautiful breasts!
During the photoshoot and still now, you keep touching each other. Why is that?
Yulia: I feel better in life when i can cuddle with Lena. We are stronger that way.
It's not sexual then? It’s more like petting a dog?
Lena: Thanks for the compliment!
Yulia: We have a lot of other friends, but it's not the same. We both live the same life as artists and there are things that we can only tell to each other. There are no other girls closer than we are.
Why do you think that men like to watch girls touching each other so much?
Lena: I don’t know. We do what we like and we don’t care what other people think.
At the end of the AAU video, it looks like you're going to kiss but it stops there. Why?
Yulia: Because we didn't feel like it. You can never make us do something we don't want to.
But it's only a video, not real life…
Lena: We already did it in ATTSS, that's enough.
In the video, you're drinking quite a lot of alcohol. What was actually in the glasses?
Lena: Water!
Yulia: We are not alcoholics. I know it’s difficult to believe of Russians, but it's true…
Also in the video, you're driving a beautiful car. If someone wants to seduce you, what fast car should he be driving?
Lena: It doesn't matter. I have quite a lot of money, so i'm not interested in other people's money.
Yulia: It’s us who could impress you with all the money we've made!
Great! Because the salaries at FHM are not impressive…
Lena: You are humble, it's a quality!
Glad you like me! Lena, give us some advice to seduce Yulia…
Lena: I can't. If something happens between you and Yulia, it should happen naturally.
If you don't help me more, i'll write that you are protecting your couple…
Lena: Of course i'm protecting her but that doesn't mean that we are lesbians.
And you, Yulia? Some advice to hit on Lena?
Yulia: It'll be difficult… Lena has a boyfriend.
Let's go back to the AAU video, one of you is molested by an half naked muscular man. What do you like most and least in a man?
Lena: I like a man to have the qualities of a man. But also sincerity and understanding.
Yulia: Me, I never expect anything from anyone. I'm a tough girl!
What is the most crazy thing that you have done for love?
Lena: I came back from Japan where i was touring to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday in Moscow. I just stopped at my place to make myself pretty and i went straight to his place! He thought i was 3000 km away.
Yulia: For love? Nothing.
Come on Yulia, it may happen someday…
Yulia: I would only do something for love if i felt like it at that very instant!
There is a song in Russian in the album, a very sexy language. What languages sound sexy to you?
Lena: Russian, and… French.
We have a chance then! I'm going to say something in French to you and we'll see if you fall in love. Ready?
Lena and Yulia: Hum, ok, go on!
"Vous кtes de dйlicieuses petites princesses perverses." (You are delightful perverse little princesses.)
Lena (to the translator): What did he say? Was it nice or mean? (The translator translates.) Ooh! Sorry, but no, i didn't fall in love. And we are not princesses!
And you, can you speak French?
Yulia: "Beaucoup. D'accord!" (Very much. Ok!)
Lena: (In French and as fast as a Kalachnikov): "Il йtait une fois une petite fille qui s'appelait le Petit Chaperon Rouge. Sa maman l'appelle et lui dit qu'elle doit apporter un petit pot de beurre а sa grand-mиre. Bonjour. Ca va? Ca va bien. Pourquoi pas? Merci beaucoup!" (Once upon a time there was a little girl named Little Red Riding Hood. Her mum calls her and tells her that she has to bring a little pot of butter to her grandmother. Hello. How are you? Fine. Why not? Thank you very much!)
