Irina Shayk Review

Hey Guys this is Irina Shayk, last April due to the Corona Virus Pandemic, my flight was cancelled and I got stuck in London with nothing to do. The lockdown was so boring and I noticed that I wasn't the only one who was bored; Cara Delevinge and other prominent models were posting their mobile numbers on Instagram to entertain themselves, so I did the same and within minutes I was contacted by a mysterious man with a sexy voice.

He said his name was Danny London, but I should refer to him only as Mr London. I thought this was a bit eccentric but I couldn't be bothered to quibble so I agreed. I found him to be very charismatic and I ended up speaking to him the whole evening. In the end we agreed to meet the next day near my apartment in Mayfair. He told me that he lived in Notting Hill so he could be with me in no time

So the following day we met and got a coffee from the Costa Coffee Machine in the Esso Petrol Station on Park Lane, it was the only place to get coffee in Mayfair during the lockdown. We then walked around Hyde Park and spoke about many things.

He explained to me how it was actually the Democrats and their interference in the market that had caused the sub-prime mortgage financial crises of 2008. Previously they had threatened to raise the capital adequacy ratio of banks unless the banks lend to disadvantaged members of society. So the banks acquiesced but then resold the bad debt at a discount causing it to permeate throughout the financial system.

This was something I had not heard about before, my Russian background had led me to believe that regulation and The State was a positive force. I wondered what other interesting information he could tell me.

It quickly became apparent that Mr London was a very handsome and deeply intriguing man and I decided to spend the whole of the following week with him.

It was clear that he had many varied skills

I discovered he had an interest in photography so we agreed to do a photo shoot and he even styled my hair for the shoot himself. He explained to me that when blow drying my hair I don't need to keep pulling the brush through it, over and over again. But instead, to save effort, I can just wrap it around the brush, pull it tight to create tension, and then just apply heat from the fan all along the taut hair strands until the hair is dry. He explained that the tension will create the smooth finish.

Wow this life hack simply blew my mind; I had been needlessly exhausting myself all these years, if only I had met Mr London earlier.

On one of the days it rained and Mr London noticed that my ceiling was leaking

He told me that he knew a little bit of carpentry theory and would be happy to look at my roof for me. When he said this I didn't have much faith, but the maintenance people were not around because of quarantine, so I agreed. He was up there from 6am in the morning until sundown and managed to successfully stop the leak. He explained that the flashing in the valley had not been fitted properly and was allowing water to penetrate which in turn had caused the Cripple Jack Rafter to rot. He told me he had fitted a new flashing and had replaced the rotten rafter as well as adding new insulation.

Wow..... this was great, although I couldn't understand where he got a spare rafter from considering it was the middle of lockdown and all the timber merchants were closed, but I didn't concern myself about that for too long. Coincidently the next day my neighbour's roof also started to leak for some reason.

The leak had damaged the plasterboard in my ceiling and Mr London offered to replace this as well..... but I said he had helped me enough already.

Finally, my modelling agency managed to secure me a flight back to the States so Mr London drove me to Gatwick via the A3 in a BMW he had rented. I said I was happy to get a cab but he insisted.

He did 90mph in the fast lane on the motorway and I must admit I was a little bit scared, but he calmed me down by telling me about the psychological benefits of Taoism and how all people should live in harmony with the natural flow of the universe. When obstructed by forces beyond our control, we should demonstrate a self generated restraint, remaining patiently in place and accumulating virtue until our virtue becomes a great reservoir of force- then there will be no great error.

I thought this was funny because he wasn't showing much restraint where his speed was concerned but I thought it was a nice philosophy and we got to the airport nice and early.

All in all I was very impressed with Mr London; he was well rounded and multi faceted and it became clear to me that the previous men I had dated, namely, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bradley Cooper, were actually just One Trick Ponies, with nothing much to offer me but narrow minded tunnel vision.

When I returned to America I wondered if I would ever meet another Renaissance Man like him.
