Gals with glasses

There are some that favor the goofy-looking glasses...

Dasha D & Zhenya

Makar, Blizia, Uli

Makar, Blizia, Uli--clearly she borrowed those glasses from Makar!

Sasha and Natusya

...and those that favor the sexy librarian look

Lera Tkachenko

Ksyu (with Nazar & Blizia)

Zhenya the painter

Can Zhenya be any more perfect??!!

Not only is Zhenya the Greatest Rhythmic Gymnast of All Time, supremely gorgeous, super buff, and a saint, but she's also good at painting!  In fact, as a child, she wanted to be a painter.  (She's still young; she can develop this talent!)

You can see a video of her painting (while being interviewed!) at 4:00 here:

Please caption me!

My girls take all kind of freakin' weird photos, but these were some awesome photos that truly need some kind of explanation/caption...so please feel free to offer your suggestions!

1)  Zhenya hiding from....??

2) I think Yana is trying to be funny, but Yulia G is clearly kind of disturbed...

3) Uli and Sasha Tikhonov (Olympic swimmer) at Larisa Ilchenko's wedding

Well, I could write a whole fanfic about this one!!  Here's how it would go:
Sasha: Uliana, I love you! Won't you marry me?
Uliana: [totally distracted and oblivious, thinks to herself] Where did Zhenya go?
Larisa [eying them suspiciously]: OMG!!! What does that Sasha think he's doing with my Uli??!!

Happy Earth Day!

In honor of Earth Day, here are my favorite photos of the girls hugging trees...

Makar, Uli, Nastia B, Anna Alyabayeva, Aliya Garayeva, Karolina, Nazar

Makar

Kondak & Yana

Uli & Makar

...planting trees...

Makar

...and stretching on trees

Uli and Makar

Dasha D

Blizia as canvas!

Oh dear...this is what happens when they let the crazy snarky brat run wild...Uli's not around, and it seems that Nazar is away (??), so there's no stopping the madness...

First she started on herself (as stealth-photographed by Ksyu)...

Makar the artist at work

...and then she moved onto her all-too-willing victim, Blizia!!

Mama Uli again!

Damn it, does she have to be sooo cute???!!

Sleepy time~

Hey, what can I say?  A girl needs her beauty sleep...wherever she can get it...

Zhenya--a little Sleeping Beauty!

Zhenya on one side...

...and Dasha D on the other

Makar

Clearly those blue puffy jackets are like sleeping bags...

Makar photographing Ksyu

Ksyu again

Uli looking so sweet!

Good night everyone~!
