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

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!

Karolina & Paul Marciano, the designer and co-founder of GUESS

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

Happy Birthday to the high fashion model!

Yes, pretty much all the top girls end up doing some modeling at some point (and many of the retired gymnasts model professionally now), but there's only one girl who's competing right now that I think could truly make it internationally as a high fashion model.

And that is Natalia Bulycheva!  Happy Birthday Natusya!  :)
(Yes, there are quite a few Aries among the RG girls, aren't there!)

As you can see, she was totally adorable as a child.

Now she's training at Novogorsk and competing, but she's not quite in the upper echelon of the Russian RG team.

Her legs go on forever!!

But that's okay, because I think she can totally make it as a model! She's like 5'11" and has endless limbs and looks totally awesome in photoshoots!

And despite the fact that she has this awesome second career, she seems like a total sweetie pie!
She's clearly one of Zhenya's faves, which MUST mean that she's awesome.  I've never seen Zhenya be so smoochey with anyone else--not even her bestie (the other Natasha!)

Natusya & Zhenya at Zhenya's birthday party!

Although she's clearly close to Zhenya, Natusya identifies Dasha D as her "mother," while she herself claims to be Maria Titova's "mom"! :)
