Putin and the 2012 Olympic team

Here's a trip down memory lane!  I already posted about Putin meeting with the 2013 team after the Universiade this year, but here is the 2012 Olympic team meeting with Putin!

Ul, Putin, Ksyu

(I think it's hysterical how Ksyu just towers over Putin--she's such a giant!!)

Nazar, Putin, Blizia

Karolina & Putin

Putin & Makar

Putin & Blizia

If I were Alina Kabaeva, I might be a teensy bit jealous...Putin does look oh-so-pleased to be hanging out with the girls, doesn't he??

Putin & Dasha D

Especially with Zhenya (but who wouldn't be?!)!

Putin & Zhenya

Putin & Zhenya

Kick-ass caps!

Well, caps are so essential to an RG girl's wardrobe that I've devoted an entire label to them.  However, I thought it might be fun to pick out my favorite caps, especially after Blizia posted a pic of this awesome one!  (I want it!)

She and Nazar certainly have several kick-ass caps!

Blizia & Nazar

Nazar

 Of course, the snarky brat has some fun caps (literally)...

Dasha Kukushkina & Makar

...and I am especially fond of this one, since it seems to perfectly evoke her smart-ass personality.

? (some girl in Elista) & Makar

I also think these GIRL/BOY caps are really fun...

Ksyu

Blizia

 ...and here is one of my most favorite "captastic" pics.

Matya, Donechka, Makar, Blizia, Ksyu

And let's not forget our Team Russia pride!

Zhenya

Zhenya

Zhenya is GQ's woman of the year!

Congrats to Zhenya on winning!  She deserves it! 

And I have to say, she looks great!  I thought she might have really let herself go now that she's pregnant, but so far she seems to be in pretty good shape.  Her arms look like they are thin like they were when she was competing!

 

 

I don't really care for the cover shot, though..she looks a little washed out or something.

Everyone wants Ul's red cap!

Ul has this red cap that she likes to wear...

 

...and when the other group girls stay at her place, they seem to like to take photos of themselves wearing it!  Likey so:

Makar

Ksyu

(I think Ksyu might be wearing Ul's shirt too--haha!)

Crazy people have invaded Ul's apartment!!

Well, it seems like Ul is out of town working on "Dancing with the stars"--either that or she's been practically living at the dance studio because she doesn't seem to be home at all!  So Blizia and Ksyu have been crashing at her place, and they have gone positively wild!

Blizia in red, Ksyu in magenta

Makar was there was well a few days ago, but then she headed to St. Petersburg..?

 (I cannot tell who the legs on the couch/floor belong to...Ul?  Blizia? Hahahaha!)

More photos from Yulia & Egor's wedding!

As promised, here are some more pictures from Yulia & Egor's wedding!

Egor & Yulia (with Ksyu and Makar in the back at a table)

 

?, ?, Egor, Yulia, Ksyu, Makar

Hahahaha!

 

Congrats again to the newlyweds!  ^_^

I can see it now...Yulia has a baby next year just like Zhenya, and they both have little girls, who grow up to be RG girls, and of course they are super talented...so then they are rivals, but they are also cousins and best friends~!  :P

Makar got a tattoo too!

Well, last week I reported that Dasha D got a tattoo, and now it seems that Makar got one as well! 

I can't say I'm surprised, since Makar has been wanting one for awhile--heck, she and Dasha D might even have gone to the tattoo parlor together!!
As you can see, Makar picked a very clever design...

I guess this means she's not really going back to RG, because I can't imagine that Viner would allow her to compete with a tattoo on her shin!  ;_;  (Though she still seems to be injured--bursitis in her knee.)
