How can you speak about the girl not knowing her. What for you offend her? If the girl is beautiful and also the blonde this does not mean, that she is the prostitute.

These girls work in our affiliated company. As far as I know, these girls not prostitutes in general! These girls are not bitches too! They are ordinary 17-19-old little girls who have arrived to Moscow to study. Their families not rich enough to provide their study and life in Moscow and consequently they should work on 12-degrees frost and thus to remain clear minds. Simply they could find to themselves a groom and ask him money as many girls in Russia do. But these girls have preferred to remain independent. For it I respect them.

If, for example, Natasha would work as the prostitute she would not work as the promoter, truly? These are different things and jobs.

When I studied at university on the third course I have got acquainted with the similar girl. She was very beautiful, studied perfectly well, always put on perfectly and on a fashion. Many girls envied her. When I have got acquainted with her and have found out her closer, I have been strongly surprised.
Appeared, that she had arrived from the Siberian city of Kurgan, then lived in a dorm with two other girls. In spite of the fact that a life in a dorm is loose, she did not begin to smoke or drink hardly. Then she had told me about her family in which there were three more children. She knew, that she is beautiful and was a success at guys, therefore had decided to find work suitable for her that it was possible to have time to study. Then she earned not very bad so she had money not only for her life but also she helped her family.


Please, vorteks, not be such categorical and have no such prejudiced attitude to beautiful Russian women. Wink

My point was to help Cyndy understand Mogs-Mediashark coded correspondance. If you don t know that russian prostitutes are called Natashas in Turkey, you can t understand their private jokes...Looks like you ignored this point as well : http://www.cdi.org/russia/johnson/6064-11.cfm

OK, vorteks, you are right. I beg you pardon.
But Natasha is the most popular female name in Russia and Ukraina. Smile

I thought they might be in that age range. Do you know where they are from, then?

They might not have a lot of money but they are in good shape. Smile

I've always liked the name Natasha (and Natalie). I would respect their independence, too. I am learning Russian from a couple of girls and they seem really nice as well. I'm glad to hear/perceive a different "side."

As a yogi and a dancer, I would NEVER wear high heels for walking about. I might wear them on an evening out, if I was going by car and not having to stand around, walk about in them, if my outfit absolutely required high heels. They wreck your spine and the bones in your feet. You have to be nuts to do that kind of damage to your body on a daily basis Shocked

Most women (in my eyes) don't look good in high heels but a lot depends on the shoe and the height of the heels. They stumble too much on uneven floor surfaces. They pull their knees back to counter-balance which makes for an ugly shape to the thigh and they throw their spine out of line, getting a sway back with a protruding stomach. It's a great way to ruin your joints and spine.

My own personal hate are high heeled boots with pointed toes. You can't do worse for your feet than that... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose.

I prefer to see a woman able to walk loose at the hip and with a swing. To me it looks feline and graceful and far more sexy. You can't do it in high-heels though, you can only strut.

Thats why it doesnt pay to get cheap about what kind of boot you buy, when you are in the business!
