Russian Hockey Team

I'm sure you all heard about the hockey team Lokomotiv that died in a plane crash about a month ago. Russia loves its hockey, so it was not uncommon to see this in the streets:

This is on New Arbott--a very busy street in the center of Moscow. It's a pile of flowers outside a sports store with jerseys of the players that died. For weeks after the accident piles of flowers such as this could be found in a lot of places. 

It's extremely sad, but if you come to Moscow and join a team and die, people that love you will put flowers all over the city for you. Now since that's highly improbable, and you'll live through a visit to Moscow easily, think of what your fans will do for you when you're alive! Come visit and see! Until next time, до свидания!

Mullets&Braids

Just a short blurb about Moscow: Hairstyles. 


 So first: People here can get really creative with braids. I always try to take pictures, but I guess my people watching skills are not THAT good, because I end up following people for two whole departments of IKEA only to get a blurry or cropped picture. I'll work on that. 

So yes, this is the girl I followed for a long time. And its not even that good of a picture. She has a braid that starts at the bottom of her head and fountains at the top with a pink flower. I thought it was too interesting to let it pass. Man, I'm creepy. Maybe I'll work on that too.

Well, believe it or not, the woman in the black also has a braid that sort of wraps itself around the base of her head. It was cool.

Alex Self, I just had to throw this in there for you. <3 MaHH loHHve. 

This woman's hair is just AWESOME. So fluffy. I almost went up and pet her hair like a dog's. 

Ah, our next hairstyle is demonstrated here. The mullet. кефаль. der Meeräsche. Business in the front; party in the back. ;) For some reason beyond me, they're socially acceptable here. 

I'm seriously considering people watching as a career. You probably think (or hope) I'm kidding.

Aaaaand the grand finale, the mullet ponytail. For anyone out there who gets this, it reminds me of Zarahemla. But this would be a little harder to scalp. 


So, for those of you who enjoy people watching and need a new market, looks like Moscow is the place for you! Come visit! Until next time, до свидания!
