Tru love. But bad match.

Who has a longer ponytail?
This girl in this picture is my wonderful, stunning friend, Ava. She is not a Russian girl ("a Russian girl would never be seen in public like this" - she said it, not me!). Jokes aside, although she looks like an angel right out of a Michelangelo painting - the focus of this picture is not her. Obviously, it is the man with the ponytail! What can I say? I have a strange obsession with the turtleneck and jacket combo. Also, I like the blazer over the mustard yellow t-shirt, gold chain outfit. Please tell me I'm not the only one...
Lady in Waiting : Moscow
I wouldn't say this woman's outfit is a new edgy development in Russian fashion. It's all very simple and it looks rather nice and clean. But what gets me always: is the heels. I'm always perplexed in how the girls here can walk on 5 inch heels all day. And...most of them can do it well, not with that horrible Quazi Motto *clonk clonk* posture. Some of my Russian friends tell me that they bring an extra pair of flats around with them so they don't get tired. One time I saw a girl in five inch heels and her ankles were bleeding, a lot. What's that saying about beauty and pain? Could you walk in these heels all day?

Tash Face: Part 2
Why do I love Natasha? Who knows, maybe it's the fact that we might be two long lost sisters from a trampled little village twenty miles west of Lviv, Ukraine? No, it's because even when she thinks she looks tired and overworked and bad, she still manages to look nothing short than beautiful. Ok, that's my Ode to Tash. I might shed a tear.
Tousled Androgy Last Stop Moscow
Everything was beautiful about this girl - she had an androgynous flair but her lips were dark red. Even though it is getting hotter in Moscow, many of the girls here will not let their bare skin show on their feet even though in America, the girls break out the sandals the moment is hits 50 degrees. Usually they wear very dark tan tights or black nylons as their socks - sometimes it looks a little odd. Yet this girl pulled her whole outfit together with the textured nylons. I wanted to steal her jacket - take a look at the sleeves!
Tonya : Nevsky Prospects
The sky was gray - in fact, everything was gray in St. Petersburg that day. But then I saw Tonya waiting for the bus on Nevsky Prospect. A lot of clashing but smartly done - a very plushy effeminate look complimented by darker pieces - brigade buckled boots and a great jacket. Plus, she was very sweet.
