Favorite Pictures in Russia

[slim 1,530]

I love seeing "crowd shots" from Russia. Fashion there covers an amazing spectrum!

Does anyone know the official age when women start wearing the headscarves? It seems like they're all Paris fashions, high heels, make-up, hair done, great shape.... then boom! Baba Yaga.

Either way though, they sure give the Rap guys a run for their money. "50 cent aint got nothin on Baba's do' rag over there!"

"Word up, G. Word up."

Not a picture that I took, but it's one of my favorites. It's of the Kremlin in Kazan, stolen from the Wikipedia entry.

All right you guys... Time for some real Russian photos instead of the "tourist" stuff!...

Me with some of my best students at the Kazan' school I taught at.

My friend Rob in Yoshkar-Ola after a night out at the disco. Amateur!

I've got more if anyone's interested!

LOL! Interested? Of course!

I just have to say...in the second picture, the first thing I thought of was "ohhhh, REAL toilet paper! Lucky #######! Oh, there's a guy on the floor too."

Actually, I prefer the Russian cheap stuff. It, well, cleans better!

More photos soon...

One tourist and one personal this time...

Uh-huh, if you don't mind losing a layer of skin at the same time. And while I don't generally like losing a layer of skin anywhere, that's one of the areas I *least* like losing it.

Nice pics!

You just need to toughen up the area! Remember our ladies have used it for years!

Thanks about the pics. Maybe I'll post more tomorrow...

Hey if that's how our ladies got so tough, they can have it. My uncalloused tush will remain so!

Hey guys, those are some real nice and fun photos in the last few posts.
