Some pics from Makar's birthday party!

I couldn't find more than these two, so I guess it wasn't a very big party!
I forgot to mention earlier--Blizia died her hair black!!! O_O

Blizia, Ksyu, Makar

I'm pretty sure that Makar is wearing one of Ul's caps (again)!!!  And jeez, that brat is fond of her USA flag prints!!

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

 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.

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

Ksyu

Blizia

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

And let's not forget our Team Russia pride!

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!)

Makar's crazy dyed hair!

Well, it seems that Ul and her bestie Makar are awfully fond of changing their hair color!
Earlier, I posted about Uli dying her hair blond, and then back again...now it seems Makar couldn't decide on a single color, so she went with both!

And it does look pretty freakin' cool!  As befits our resident badass blue-eyed brat!
(And I think she looks much better stunning now that she fixed her eyebrows!)

In general,the snarky brat seems awfully fond of two-tone things, like these jackets...

At La PLAGE, as always

Yes, she is good at color coordination!

...but sadly, I think the new haircut means she won't be going back to the team anytime soon, unless she plans to re-dye her hair or chop it off...I can't see Madame V letting her compete like that!  O_O

Basta concert!!

So what did Ksyu and Blizia do when they got back to Moscow??  Hang out with the other RG girls, of course!!!  At a concert!

 Makar and Donechka fought and then made up..?

This is what it looked like from the stands...

...and this is what it sounded like (with Ul and Blizia)!

Summer camp's over; time to compete!

It was the last day of summer camp in Croatia today!  Tomorrow the girls are flying out to Kazan to compete in the Universiade!

Dasha Svatkovskaya, Di

Here are a few more photos of the girls having fun in Croatia!

Ksyu

 I love Ksyu's aviators!!  I want them! :)

Blizia and Nazar are sporting some awesome caps!

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!

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...

...and at the hotel.

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.)
