russian rhythms

Gotta admit, I shrieked with excitement when I saw Alina Kabaeva had landed the cover of Russian Vogue. I don't know why everyone's getting so uppity about it. Yeah, it's tacky, but isn't Russia kind of tacky? And her hair looks fucking fabulous. 

In fact Kabaeva and fellow Russian rhythmic gymnast Irina Tchachina have appeared in Russian Vogue before: 

Not wonderful, I think you'll agree.

P.S. There are a lot of rumours flying around regarding Kabaeva's alleged love child with Vladimir Putin. FYI the good members of the RSG rhythmic gymnastics forums remain skeptical about whether Kabaeva has even had a child. 

RG 4evs!
