As a surprise for his friends, Eli a.k.a. Arina made the finals of the Miss Virtual Kazakhstan beauty contest and proved he proved his point. So, he decided to reveal “his secret” in a video before the finalists of the contest were announced.
“I was pleasantly surprised by the reaction of the people of Kazakhstan and the fact that many supported my actions,” Eli told NUR Kazakhstan. “It was not my intention to simply deceive people, I wanted to draw the attention to the fact that adhering to the same beauty standards is not important. It’s the naturalness and individuality of each person that really matter, not something that is shown somewhere and labelled as fashionable and beautiful even if it doesn’t fit you.”
