Russian Airlines Offers a New Spin on the "Friendly Skies"
2010-07-15 17:30:00 Aside from my one girlfriend, it is a rarity that I see a hot flight attendant. That is until I saw the video made by the budget-Russian airline, Avianova.

Specifically, the Flight Attendants Association of Australia laments by saying "This type of provocative advertising using cabin crew in this light is not tolerated in Australia and should not be acceptable anywhere else." The FAAA camp further exclaims that, "Such suggestive advertising portraying cabin crew as part of the product they are selling sends wrong messages and puts cabin crew at...
Modern Pointe Shoes: A (very) brief Russian history
2010-07-02 01:40:00 Anna Pavlov in Dying SwanWhile I'm en my pointe shoe kick, who knew that pointe shoes actually used to be pointy? Yep, until Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova came along, pointe shoes used to be pointy and, if you can imagine, more painful than they are in today's dance world.Anna Pavlova (1881-1931) had feet unfit for pointework, with extreme arches and thin ankles. She needed more support than the shoes of her time, which, at that point (pun intended) ballerinas were dancing en pointe in shoes that made a sharp point at the toe, providing little support for dancers. Ballerinas were expected to support their weight with their bodies, not the shoes. Little to her knowledge, Pavlova introduced modern pointe shoes...

Joe Budden lets it all go over Rihanna's "Russian Roulette"
2009-11-18 00:48:00 Rihanna "Russian Roulette RMX" f/ Joe Budden Producer: Chuck Harmony - FULL, CDQ *Tibs Fav.â„¢ No more excuses if you're sleeping on Joe Budden. He obviously ripped through Rihanna's "Russian Roulette" within the past couple of days because he lets loose on a lot of current events, most notably his 'beef' with Fabolous, which he claims is not a beef in the song. Other clever references include his new girlfriend Somaya Reece (!), the Pacquiao-Cotto fight and a deadly punchline about Sammy Sosa's recent skin complexion. His flow is amazing when he adds some melody 2 his rhymes and the dark production certainly suits Budden well. You only get one Rihanna hook, which means that Budden goes in for nearly...

Russian Man claims Jesus of Siberia
2009-08-29 15:54:00 The beard and long hair are both present and correct.And with his flowing linen robes and beatific smile he certainly does a fine impression of a holy man.But to his believers in this remote corner of Siberia, Sergei Torop, a former traffic policeman, is the literal reincarnation of none other than Jesus Christ.Russian ex-traffic cop Sergei Torop sits on his wooden throne during a meeting with his followers in the remote village of PetropavlovkaTorop, 48, is the spiritual leader of at least 5,000 devoted followers, among them intellectuals, artists and professionals who flock to worship him in the small isolated village of Petropavlovka - more than 2000 miles from Moscow.Torop was ?reborn? as ?Vissarion? in 1991 just as Russia was facing a crisis of confidence following the collapse of the iron curtain.He is just the latest example of Russia?s predilection for 'personality cults' - a national obsession that leads back all the way to the days of Rasputin.Both Lenin and Stalin tapp...
