Ruslan Korshunova ( the 5 foot 8 high-fashion model from Khazakstan better known as "The Russian Rapunzel"), jumped to her death from the ninth floor balcony of her NYC apartment this Saturday. She was only 20 years old, and would have turned 21 tomorrow. She has been in French and Russian Vogue and has worked for the likes of Vera Wang and Marc Jacobs. She was definitely a bright star in the world of high-fashion with a very bright future in front of her. Her modelling agancy, IMG released a statement of condolences for the family of the deceased. Friends of the late model say that she had just returned from a runway show in Paris and seemed to be "on top of the world"... Sad.
Let this be a lesson to all. Money and beauty does not always equal happiness. Don't envy those in the glam and the limelight, because we never truly know what demons and monsters they struggle with in their seemingly-perfect lives everyday. Do not strive to be like anyone else but yourself. Thank the Almighty for your blessings, and pray for your sanity... And I'm OUT!

That is so true!! Having been a survivor of attempted suicide I know all too well about the demons!! Everybody always thought that I was very happy but I was dying inside. I am glad I did not die and I was able to get the help that I needed. Things are not always what they seem and unless you talk to someone about what you are feeling, you will eventually end up attempting suicide. God bless!!
