As Sofia Vergara was saying the other day in reference to her obstinacy in posing revealing selfies on social media, if you’ve got it, flaunt it. Anastasia Strashevskaya has definitely got it, having just been named the woman with the longest legs in Russia.

Attached to this article is a photo of the young stunner and her amazing long stems, which measure an impressive 106 cm (41.7 inch). And that’s not even the most impressive thing about her, as you’re about to find out in a second.

The 18-year-old beauty queen, crowned Miss Longest Legs at a national beauty contest, hails from Siberia and says she’s not even given modeling a second thought because she’s determined to forge for herself a career in law.

She will use the money she’s won for her education and to donate to charity, and it seems like she will be having a lot of math to do because the Daily Mail reports that she took home a £1,600 ($2,640 / €1.935) cash prize, beating 52 other contestants to the punch.

Other titles in the pageant included Miss Sport, Miss Smile, Miss Brunette, Miss Blonde and, how could it have gone missing, Miss Bikini.

“I have wanted to be a lawyer since school and deliberately came to this institute,” Anastasia says of being a student at the Novosibirsk Institute of Law, swearing against a career in modeling or, at least, not one that would come at the expense of her education.

“I will not leave it under any circumstances and in the future I want to engage in civil law. Part of the money, I plan to spend on a gift for my parents and more I want to donate to children with cancer,” she says.

“This victory gave me a great joy, because I was dreaming about this. In fact, for me, it's like a dream. Right now I do not feel like a winner, nothing has changed, my life goes on. My family is very proud of me! I just believed in my fairy tale and in my dream – and it happened. It was my decision to take part in this competition, but my friends supported me very much,” she continues.
