Lovely Russian skating costumes

Okay I just could not resist posting a link to this website where you can purchase some of the top Russian skating costumes. My favourite is No. 147!!! :)

That's great! I laughed when I saw your post. A long time ago, we had a commercial on TV that featured a Russian Fashion Show. The announcer would say "Swimwear!" "Evening Wear" etc. in this thick accent. The same model would come out wearing the same prison-matron grey dress. The accessories made it fashion: a beach ball, an evening purse. You get the picture.

I was expecting that when I followed the link. Number 147 is just as humorous.

Thanks!

Oh, I remember that commercial. It was hilarious. I think it was for Diet Pepsi. The women in the fashion show were all quite large and ... uh... not very feminine. And the dress was practically a grey sack. It was so funny! Thanks for that trip down memory lane. :)

Can I get the GUY in the costume instead ;)

wow!

some beauties on display there. No. 147 is very eye catching.

i believe i saw some of my all time favorites in the mix:

1. Piano keyboard motif
2. The ripped 'n' wrongly sewn back together tuxedo vest/shirt/jacket (aka "the Looney Tunes Orchestra Conductor"
3. "Is she a Lady...Or a Cello?"
4. Illusion Fabric w/ Flowers O'er The Boobs

Sadly, I did not see this year's model

5. Giant Butterfly/Swan On My Dress (Because I'm Skating to Madame Butterfly/Swan Lake)

147 is more than eye catching, it\s scary!!!

147 is ...interesting.

I like 122 and 88.

147--Do you think they forgot they were doing a costume for figure skating instead of the circus??

The skaters looks are classic too!
