We're off! Here are our fancy Russian Visas. Needed even though we're only there a week! Big brother is not messing around about knowing who is milling around their country.
Did everyone see Oprah's new favorite Gadget? The Kindle - which holds an insane number of books/papers/etc on a tiny little computer book--easily downloadable and the books are cheaper! I only mention because I happened to catch it last week, and thought it was pretty cool but not necessary for me... and then I went to pack my carry-on. Am I serious? Its a 10 hr flight and one week -- not 80 hours and 5 weeks. But I just couldn't choose! I'm reading too many things, and always need mags for less concentration. Maybe Ill look into the Kindle :).
Have a great week and I will be trying to blog over there! As a side note - YEY PHILLY! We'll have our fingers crossed that tonight is the LAST game of the World Series as we cruise across the globe. Please cross your fingers for us too!
Here is two a great weekend for the Phillies on their home turf! Look out Tampa, you don't mess around with Philadelphia!
One of the large department stores in the Red Square! Anything is possible right?? Who ever said we needed warm coats - we couldn't agree more. We're already freezing with an NYC October! First stop might be to pick up one of these -
(Ill be sure to get a good shot of Shannon in one for you)
That is Russian for "Vogue in Russian." And this is an image from their November issue. There has been a lot of talk about the Russian Vogue editrix, Aliona Doletskaya, lately (my main source - page 6) and her possible take over of the ever present Anna Wintour? Bologna, she says in a recent NY Times article. Even if the mag was introduced 10 years ago during downtrodden times, and their circulation is now up to 200,000 and their ad pages to 340 (US Vogue ad pages were way way down this fall, even lower than other US mags). We're happy to see fashion is being noticed and studied over there. We also like that this style section article says of Russian fashion, "Yet in Moscow, where Vogue has its offices, tastes are shifting, as reflected by the stepped-up presence of American designers in her magazine. 'The full-on extravagance, the red lipstick, the diamonds, the furs, all that is passé,' she said firmly. “'The Russians are getting far more sophisticated.'”
That's hello in Russian. Have we told you DM is headed to Moscow on Sunday for business? Who are we? And does anyone have any suggestions??
And this is what we look like this afternoon. Hoodies and ponchos hard at work.
Dakota Martin is helping to sponsor this event this Saturday - hosted by the Adeona Foundation and benefiting The Cooke House. The Adeona Foundation was founded in part by a friend of ours and it raises money for various organizations with the common theme of helping children. The Cooke Center for Learning , where the proceeds from this specific event will go is the largest private provider of school-based special education services in New York City. You can learn more about both organizations on their sites. Also, if you're interested in attending, you can purchase tickets on their site. Shannon and I look forward to dressing up, especially since we wont be in the US for the real Halloween :(. So join us Saturday for a good time and a good cause! Shannon and I will be there with plenty of polos in hand ;)
