Just found out that we made the WordPress Hotblog Top 10 Today!
I caught a brief glimpse of it since WordPress is constantly updating their ratings among the 400,000 other blogs that they manage. Thankfully I was able to do an image capture and you can view it here at the bottom of the page.
Obviously this could NOT have been possible without the incredibly rich and deep participation that you folks have put into this. I hope you feel as good as I do with this news because you certainly deserve it.
When I get news like this it just makes me feel like we are one more step closer to making a small but noteworthy difference in this world of ours.
I have to admit I kinda feel like a proud papa right now..

Thanks guys..
Nice to feel like we are starting to make a little bit of a difference.. so spark it up!
Sorry, dont smoke. But I have a glass of champagne on you guys the next time I open a bottle. Ever since I found this blog by accident, looking for awarded blogs around the world, I am thrilled. As it happened I just fell in love with a cuddly woman in Moskow by that time and could fully underwright what was said about Russian women. Although this romance just ended during my last stay in Russia, I will 100% go back. And maybe Moskow is just not the best place to start: I met a few career oriented woman there, who where educated in the west and seem to have abdopted some of the western habits. But lets concentrate on the good majority.
hey rw man, just a quik question. Is it possible the woman in the west know about the hidden secret of the woman in the east and try to keep it from us western menby using lines like “all russian woman are hairy”?
Thanks Harry for your kind endorsement. I am sure you will find many other great women outside of moscow as well.
Aaron.. I’ve heard lots of funny lies in my life but that has got to be one of the funniest! Of course women from your hometown are extremely threatened by what we are all talking about here. So it’s just a matter of how low are they willing to go to show their jealousy and insecurity.. So far what you say pretty much takes the cake. Have fun with it! GL
Reminds me of a funny story…
I had taken my Russian angel out to my family’s place in the hill country of Texas for some horseback riding (which she LOVED)… On our way home we stopped off at a little country cafe for some chicken fried steak, gravy – you know, some good ol’ country cooking…
We were playing “Durak” a Russian card game while we were waiting for our food… Our waitress asked what we were playing, we told her the origins of the game, and she was very surprised to learn that my girlfriend was from Russia…
I believe her exact words were, “But you’re not big and hairy!” – to which we both sprayed our ice tea all over the place…
We figured she was just a country bumpkin without much of an e-jum-ma-kashun. I would imagine that those sorts of perceptions stem from complete and total ignorance.
Most inaccurate perceptions do
One lie I remember was reading an article in Vanity Fair 2 years ago comparing the fashion sense of Russian and Eastern European women to that of common street prostitutes. Of course the article was written by a female.
I do not even have to mention the volumes of evidence of the female fashion sense of a majority of US women. Just go outside and look.
The old canard that Russian women are hairy is old “cold war” babushka stereotype. Hell, the Beatles even wrote a song contrary to the stereotype in 1968 in Back In the USSR. For those not familiar of the lyrics:
“Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn’t get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
You don’t know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.”
“Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it’s good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
You don’t know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.”
“Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia’s always on my mind.”
“I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
You don’t know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.”
“Show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy’s farm
Let me hear your balalaika’s ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm.
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
You don’t know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.”
Get use to the flak guys. These professional and well educated women (whipped male allies) of the West see the real threat to their supremacy and have to DENY all responsibility that fault lies with themselves and not some scape goat.
Russian women hairy? That’s a new one to me because I’ve yet to meet one who even remotely hairy other than where she’s supposed to be hairy. That shows just how little Americans know about people other than themselves. Now, I see my share of American women who probably go through bottles of Nair (hair remover)like no tommorow because they have legs much hairier than mine. Go a week without using the razor or Nair, they might look like Pan minus the goat horns, the cloven hoofs and the pipes.

OK here is my poison Black hair green eyes. Or Red hair and gray blue eyes. That is what I am looking for or A dark honey color with green or hazel eyes. Me I am typical American dark blond hair and Dark blue eyes.
The ‘hairy’ comments above really made me laugh, due to one particular incident. After I’d been in Russia a week or so, my Mum emailed me this:
“I really needed you last night when I tried waxing my legs at home for the first time ever! … I could write a story about it! What a time-consuming process… Kept thinking, where are you when I need your advice? Of course you will have to grow yours for the Russians.”
It seems the ‘hairy Russian’ myth is quite widespread indeed!
