Zhenya: Hairstylist with Greek Roots
Moscow Street Portrait: Zhenya, a hairstylist with Russian and Greek roots, knocks back a Coke while taking in the Moscow sunset. She has an interesting combo of black leather jacket, aviator sunglasses with what looks like soccer shorts and Black converse. The sports shirt reads 'Tokyo.' Black is clearly her color.
Tanya: ‘Good Morning Moscow!’
Moscow: Russians have a reputation for being gloomy and unfriendly, so I could not help notice Tanya greeting pedestrians exiting the metro with a big smile and a loud 'good morning!' as she handed out flyers to earn some money during the summer. Tanya says she would like to become an actress or a policewoman....perhaps she can kill two birds with one stone and land a job as a policewoman in a Moscow TV series some day.
Menfor: Sporting St. Petersburg’s Coolest Outfit
ST. PETERSBURG: I saw this guy standing along the canal in St. Petersburg during a beautiful summer sunset.
Hands down, he had the most original outfit I came across during my three days in Russia's imperial capital. Menfor - as he calls himself - is a former biker and factory machinist who now makes various 'trinkets' such as necklaces, including ones that 'protect you' from harm.
The accessories he was wearing on his outfit were incredibly varied - from a US-styled sheriff's hat and Harley Davidson belt, to Russian icons, hard-rock memorabilia and communist buttons.
To top it off, he has a flower pinned to his leather coat.
