Guys, I do wish you were here. There is absolutely nothing like the russian summer and Perm is a good place to spend it. I was walking through Gorky Park today, admiring the scenery, and decided a fashion report might be in order.
Summer means shorter. Hemlines go up and necklines go down. One young lady I saw in Gorky Park absolutely destroyed every law of physics and motion known to man. Her skirt had descended to lattitudes of the pelvis normally seen only in a nudist colony. A great looking lady in her 40's was wearing a white fishnet dress with thong panties and a flesh colored bra. Nipples are definitely in or more correctly out. The key thing is that there are so many beautiful women and girls who are dressed in exciting fashions without the sluttiness so often found most places.
I have lost 12 kilos since I got here last April because I walk around so much. The reason for much of this walking is just to enjoy the sight of so many attractive females. I you'd like to lose a few pounds and don't mind the possibility of a little eye strain, come to Perm in the summer.
