I have just discovered these crux videos, and especially Alice's scene thank to this forum. I am amazed how popular she became thoughout the years, perhaps she is the only crux model having a dedicated thread here?
Btw I totally understamd her popularity. A 100% perfect body (if we don't count the tattoo) with a very cute gurl next door face.
Have you ever concidered interviewing the producer of this video about that shooting day and about Alice's personality?
Or going further, have you ever tried finding a contact to Alice (in case she is open to) making an interview with her? Perhaps even she would be surprised to learn the admiration lasting to these days about her on this forum.

I'm afraid that Makar, the producer, has gone to a better place, and that Alice modelled for only a few years and is no longer doing so now.

Hi @donpedro , thanks for your first message and your appreciation of this thread. A large part of Alice's popularity stems from her expressive poses in the 'Crux Forest' session, which have inspired numerous photo manipulation artists over the last sixteen years. Additionally, the availability of her fifty published nude photo series means that she also appears as a character in many non-crux illustrations. She has featured in a number of story threads on this site, as well as the funding appeal thread and numerous publications in the archive.
There are threads dedicated to other crux stars, including Amy Hesketh (courtesy of @Baracus ) and Jane/Jenia (courtesy of @Reed319 ) but, despite the need for overdue content updates, this monograph is arguably the most extensive. As @Wragg notes, Makar is sadly no longer with us, and Alice makes a number of appearances in his memorial thread - https://www.cruxforums.com/xf/threads/makar-memorial.1300/post-364051
I collected Makar's comments regarding Alice from several threads on this site and the Crux Foundation, and these have been presented in the early posts in this thread. The other half of the Cruxdreams production team, @ImageMaker , kindly expressed his approval for launching this thread. The few members of this site who knew Alice through her modelling contracts are content to respect her privacy and let her pictures speak for themselves.
I would very much enjoy interviewing Alice, although she might prefer to keep her memories to herself. Ultimately, she posed as a glamour model on a part-time basis during 2007, and came to our notice for a single session with Cruxdreams. Whilst she may have enjoyed developing her talents as a model and actress, this was probably not a long term career plan, and I can find no confirmed dates for any sessions after Cruxdreams on 20 June 2007.
We are unlikely to find Alice, especially if she wishes to keep a low profile. She worked as portrait photographer's assistant in Moscow during 2014 - a role for which her modelling experience proved useful. Indications suggest that she is married, with children, and plausibly hoping that the younger generation does not make the connection between the nude model of sixteen years ago and 'Sergei's Mum'. I think she has her reasons for avoiding the past, and there is little to be gained by disturbing her.
As Makar said in 2010, 'I don't think we'll see Alice anymore. So, why not enjoy what we have?'
And the Cruxforums authors and artists have been taking their cue from these words and the inspiration of a certain muse ever since.

Wow, I didn't expect such detailed answer! Sad to read that Makar passed away.
Of course if we surely know that Alice does not want to be disturbed, I definitely agree that everybody should honour it.
Her story is not too uncommon from those times. Around 2007 (Iphone, the first smartphone was just announced at the beginning of the year) internet was not the same as today. That changed big time later, when smarphones became the norm.
Producers often promised for their models that their nude pictures/videos would be sold only abroad, and their relatives/boyfriends/etc would never see those pictures. Models did not understand the structure of the internet, they actually beleived that the term abroad has the same significance on the internet as in the real world.... These girls often quit the erotic business once they had been discovered by a relative, and they wished they could erase themselves from the internet. These days adult models are much more informed, and most models whom I know, are quite OK with that anybody can see them naked on the internet. Furthermore they usually tweet their own nude works on a daily basis. That is quite a big change compared to those early "pioneer" times... (if I remember correctly, the first adult streaming site opened in 2006, before that piracy was much less uncontrolled, and more for tech guys - a internet-wise uneducated relative couldn't just accidentally bump into most of these erotic productions. So in 2005-2006 when adult productions were still rather sold on DVD, their promise to sell those products were most likely honest promises. Nobody knew then that the same films will be - thanks to pirates - available totally free within a few years...
Alice (with family and kids) probably feel the same way, and I totally respect that.
I'm now going to read Makar's memorial thread (thanks for pointing to that!) it is extremely said to lose him in such a young age.
Thanks for the nice welcome guys! (I've been a member here for a long time, but rarely visiting, as crux is only a minor fetish for me next to my main fetish which is whipping. Actually "Alice brought me here" a few days ago...
And now I am happy to discover this nice place further!

my main fetish which is whipping.
btw One of my most exciting reveries is to be hoisted up tightly with my ankles tied together and anchored to the floor. Well endowed hunks then strip me down to my loin cloth and smother my flesh with oil. Their hands sliding over my body arouses me to the edge of orgasm. Then they take up their positions around me and commence flogging me with savage leather whips and mock me as I scream out with each terrifying lash, but my kinky screwed up maschistic mind uses the pain to propel me into repeated orgasms. How I love to suffer their whips and wish I could last all day but . .
. . eventually I become so exhausted that my cries turn to whimpers. They take me down and drag me to another dungeon where they commence their black arts to try and extract a false confession. I resist for many days but finally I am forced to surrender, stupidly thinking they would then stop their wretched torments, but . . .
Nice to have your very detailed input Donpedro

It’s amazing that one photoshoot should still burn so brightly in our imaginations (especially @bobinder ’s!) all these years later, although not surprising when you take into account its supreme quality. Alice’s unique charisma as a crux girl shines out so dazzlingly, a beautiful, vulnerable waif, helplessly struggling forever on her cross. She will always be treasured by us crux aficionados, even if she doesn’t know it. I’m sure no-one wishes to trespass on her privacy now; that would be a terrible act of betrayal. She’s given us so much, it should be more than enough.

By actively searching on the net, after lot of hours, i found Alice where she's nowadays. Indeed she has a "new life" very different from her past life.Hi @donpedro , thanks for your first message and your appreciation of this thread.

Of course i will never unveil her VK profile link.
She's has the right to not be disturbed. And of course i will never dare to contact her.
But what can i say is that she's always a splendid and stunning woman 17 years later...
She's an absolute beauty, and of course i'm sure a very strong woman and mother to manager her family, because she made Makar's crux video and the suffering to bear with such a contract is the very evidence of the magnificent spirit of courage she has.

Always wondered where she was. Good to know she moved on when necessary
Happy Birthday Alice 13 May 2023 - 35 years old today
(Image hosted on DeviantArt Sta.sh. Full size picture - https://sta.sh/01hp1lezbed4 )
This year's birthday celebration picture shows Alice posing in a costume shoot, in an apple orchard somewhere in the Moscow Oblast. There has been some speculation about what happened to Alice after she retired from nude modelling in 2007, and here we have a brief glimpse of her later activity.
During 2014, Alice was employed as an assistant at Dream Photo, a firm specialising in high quality portrait photography, designed to appeal to a target audience of female Muscovites. The service provided was comprehensive, including a make-up and hair stylist and a wide choice of costumes to wear. Alice's previous experience as a model qualified her for the role of photographer's assistant, responsible for advising and posing the clients - and she often had the opportunity to demonstrate her talents, including modelling a variety of ballgowns for publicity shots.
It is worth noting that whilst Alice had not posed for any of the major erotic publishers for a period of seven years, some of her nude series were still being released as new publications at this time. The previous year (2013) had been the first in which there were no new erotic publications featuring Alice. However, all three series from Vadim Rigin's 'Red Velvet' session were released by Erotic Beauty in April 2014, followed by Alexander Lobanov's 'Drops of Rain' (MPL Studios) in November. The following year would see the publication of the final Rylsky pictures, specifically a re-issued 'Angel of Love' and 'Backstage Vol 15'.
This means that in publication terms, Alice was a current erotic model during the time that she was employed by Dream Photo. If this was common knowledge, the firm must have congratulated themselves on hiring such a versatile talent, even if nude photography was not their speciality. Most of their work was carried out in their own studio, but occasionally the operation would venture outside to shoot on location, in natural light.
The Apple Orchard session was arranged to accommodate a number of clients who wished to be photographed outdoors, against a background of apple blossoms in early summer. Shooting took place on 1st May 2014, with the stylist and wardrobe departments attending the location, and the event was duly recorded by the camera.
Alice arrived, wearing a leather bomber jacket over a denim waistcoat and jeans with brown, lace-up ankle boots. In anticipation of posing later in the day, she received some attention to her hair from one of her colleagues. The blonde girl is actually the second assistant - the hair stylist was busy with clients at this time.
One of the clients has selected a white ballgown, which is being carefully arranged for a seated pose. Alice's denim waistcoat reveals her distinctive shoulder tattoo as she spreads the dress on the ground. With her lower back exposed, her dorsal tattoo would also be clearly visible to anyone standing behind her. The male, arranging the gown behind the model, is the lighting assistant.
Taking a break, Alice runs the risk of being caught in an unguarded moment by the photographer, but she is quite relaxed in front of the camera. This candid, backstage scene is both natural and charming, as the casually posed subject blends comfortably into the arboreal landscape.
In the first of three pictures, Alice accompanies another client into the orchard to begin her session. The following two pictures show the same client and Alice individually, posing beneath the apple blossoms. Alice chose to model a gown with a strapless, white bodice and a long, coral pink skirt and train in diaphanous fabric. Whatever the impracticalities of the garment, it contributed to a sensational look for the photo shoot. This lo-res image is the only picture I have of Alice posing in costume on that day, and so I decided to attempt an improved version to celebrate her birthday.
The new background shows bright sunlight filtering through the apple blossoms, which is a good match for the lighting on the figure. A new head, also with appropriate lighting, was sourced from Femjoy's 'Shelter' series to provide higher resolution in the face. The picture presents a delightful spectacle of complimentary colours in the juxtaposition of pinks and greens, and I wanted to reproduce this vibrancy in the manipulation. Consequently the high contrast, complimentary colours and shallow depth of field of the original picture have been emulated using various filter and gradient effects.
Whilst the result is an imaginative scene with a timeless quality, produced by photo manipulation, it is also intended to be a documentary reconstruction of a particular moment in Alice's life, and a celebration of her role as a model.
Thanks everyone, for the positive reactions - indicating that Alice remains appealing even whilst keeping her clothes on.Happy Birthday Alice, we will forever want you dancing "on the wood"
And thank you Damian, for reminding us of her enduring appeal as a Roman Decadence manip model and crux star!

"You guys calling these A cup boobs? That's fucking nuts. Nah, a B cup for sure. On the small side, but a B cup."
"You sure about that boss? You have some pretty small hands, you know!" ("Ha! Ha!")
"Fuck you guys! Check 'em out for yourselves."
"Um, your hands? Not sure I want to do that . . ."
"No, fuckwad! Her boobs!"
("He probably thinks his dick is really huge, too. Ha, ha, ha!")
"I heard that!"
Thanks - yes, 'Esprit de Makar 6' shows Alice crucified on the beach at Jurmala in Latvia. The manipulation was created for the anniversary of Makar's birthday in February 2021 -
https://www.cruxforums.com/xf/threads/makar-memorial.1300/post-589752
Both the original subject and background photographs were taken by Makar in 2007. Alice was extracted from a sepiatone photograph, entitled 'Falling', which has been colourised. Makar's Jurmala seascape is an atmospheric image with strong colours and high contrast. It makes an unusual choice of background for a subject which started out in monochrome, but the result combines the complementary, dramatic elements of both pictures.
