A new Audi for Ul!

First a new hair color, now a new car!

She sold the Audi A8 she got from winning gold at the 2012 Olympics...

...and got an Audi Q3 (?) instead!

Surely she will be driving the other girls all around Moscow in her new car very soon!

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!

Dasha D's designer sneakers

Dasha D's been sporting some very cool (and very expensive!) sneakers recently!

Like these super colorful Louboutin beauties:

They'll set you back a cool $2400. O_O

In comparison, the neon Gucci sneakers she's been wearing are totally a bargain!  She's got the pink ones...

...and the yellow ones!

See the interlocking Gs--the Gucci logo!

Lucky girl!!

At the ballet!

Recently I haven't been able to post as much as I would've liked since I've been indulging in my first great love--ballet!

So in honor of that hallowed art form, here are some photos of the girls at the ballet!

Zhenya at the Bolshoi

It seems that Irina Viner has her own private box at the Bolshoi Theatre, and she takes the girls frequently.  Lucky them!!

Blizia, Ul, Makar, Ksyu, Karolina

Ksyu & Nastia M

Of course, rhythmic gymnastics is very related to ballet--especially when you have performances like this! Swan Lake RG style!

Zhenya in front; Natasha 3rd from last; don't know the others

Privet, Prada!

I've already written about how LV scarves and Burberry gear are de rigueur for the RG girls, so now I thought I'd document their penchant for Prada purses...

Nastia B & Ul

Looks like Ul's got them in two different colors!

? and Ul

And Makar's got a matching one!

Makar

All sorts of luxury goodness in this photo!

Katya (with an LV belt too!), Zhenya, Makar (?), Yulia G (with LV scarf!)

Privet Prada!

Me and my Mac

Of course the girls all have iPhones (or multiple ones)...but a Mac is totally necessary too!!

Zhenya, Yana, Natusya

Ksenia, Karolina, Blizia (?), Uli, Makar

Makar & Karolina

Uli, Blizia (?) and Makar in back

If all else fails, you can be like Makar and use it as a pillow!

A-yachting we will go~!

One of the perks of being on the Russian national team is getting to vacation on yachts (thanks to the head coach, Irina Viner, and her husband Alisher Usmanov)!

Here are some pics from the team trip to Croatia in 2012

Karolina, Nazar, Blizia, Makar, Uli, Zhenya, Ksyu, Sasha

Blizia, Uli, Zhenya, Nazar, Makar

And here are some photos of Usmanov's AMAZING yacht, which the girls got to ride after they did so well at the Olympics!!

Traveling in style!

Dasha D

It even has its own helipad!

This is what it looks like inside...

Of course, there are multiple jacuzzis...
