Karolina at a GUESS party!

Wow, talk about hobnobbing with the rich and famous!  The girls are always hanging out with pro athletes (and dating them!), but it looks like Karolina managed to score an invite to a recent GUESS party!  Very cool!

 If Karolina turned up in a GUESS ad in the near future, I would not be surprised!!

Happy Birthday Dasha D!!

Happy Birthday to Dasha Dmitrieva, who turned 20 today (June 22)!!

I plan to have a more detailed bio on the 2012 Olympic silver medalist at a later date, but for now, here are some recent photos of Dasha D.

And here's a collage of birthday messages/photos for Dasha.

Dasha's been hanging out in Italy for the past week or so (with her boyfriend, maybe?).

So Makar (!!) flew to Italy to celebrate with her!!  (Ul was supposed to go too, it seems, but she had visa problems.)  I'm shocked!  I didn't realize Dasha and Makar were so close--if anything, I would've thought Ulyana Trofimova, Dasha's bestie, would've flown out to see her, but it looks like she had to send her a long-distance birthday wish...

Between Dasha and Makar, they have a ton of caps...

...and a lot of bracelets! O_O

Dasha = red nails, Makar = French manicure

Seems like they're having a ton of fun!

Everybody loves La PLAGE!

After Makar, Ul and Donechka made La PLAGE look so fabulous a few weeks ago, and then took everybody they know there, it looks like the other RG girls have followed suit!

Here are Yana and Karolina (and Yana's dog!) hanging out there.

Hanging out with pro athletes...

Meanwhile, while the group girls have been in Korea, Ul and Makar have been doing what they do best--hanging out with pro athletes!! 
Last week they hung out with hockey player Alexei Morozov at Zhenya's wedding, and then went to a party at NBA player Andrei Kirilenko's house.

This week they met NHL player Evgeni Malkin, who just signed a eight-year contract for $76 million!  Nice, nice, very nice.

And, as usual, they went out on the town with their favorite gal (and driver!)--Donechka!

And here are their two routines.

Craziness in Korea, part 1

Earlier this week the group girls headed to Korea for the LG Whisen Rhythmic All Stars 2013 show.

Of course, this meant that they had to take some crazy photos on their way there...

Ah, how they love to scare the other hotel guests!
Unfortunately, Makar is still injured, so Elena Romanchenko was there instead.  (I would've thought that Diana Borisova would've gone instead, but apparently they are preparing for the Universiade in Kazan later this summer, and to compete there you have to be a university student.)
