“I love my pictures, to look se*y outside the gym, to be like a se*y woman,” Moroz said. “Light makeup, beautiful dress, a bikini, I like to show my body because people get aggressive with why I show my a** or b**bs. I like it, I like to show it, I enjoy when people write me good messages. Sometimes, people write aggressive, bad messages but I love taking emotions when people say, ‘oh I like this picture, Marina. You’re so beautiful, sexy.’ I start slowly and slowly and I love this so much. It’s my hobby.

“People are usually like oh you didn’t go to the gym, but I train everyday. They rest I always go run or something, do exercise, yoga and when I have free time, I make pictures, going to pool, going to beach. People think I make pictures every day but when I have free time, I take a lot of pictures.”
