Look at me updating every day! As promised in my last post, here’s a digest of what excited me in the week to come:Afisha picnicOn Saturday if I wake up early enough (I doubt it) after going out with fabulous Martyn A. of “Moscow Out” this Friday, I will be in Kolomenskoe sending my love to Mujuice at the Cut2Kill performance. But probably I’ll turn up just in time for These New Puritans (6pm). Apart from musical goodies, here’s what’s also on offer all day: lectures, bric-a-brac market, wakeboarding pool, a yacht fest, board games (I know – funny succession), delicious food and so much more. /About_Us/Blogs/MOSCREAM/2009-8-6.html http://www.russiatoday.com/About_Us/Blogs/MOSCREAM/2009-8-6.html Thu, 06 Aug 2009 11:28:00 +0300 Going absolutely mad on night shifts.Nausea and wretched sleep is making me moody. So beware, world, we've got another angry girl with opinions on opinions. Lately I’ve turned an evil eye on hipsters- a vast group of youngsters balancing between ultra-fashionable and oh-so-last-season.I even drew a beautiful picture to illustrate my annoyance.The funny thing is that honestly speaking I don’t even care. I mean hipsters, goths, politicians, journalists, lesbians, “nashi”- they’re all terrible as groups, although I’m sure lovely as individuals. /About_Us/Blogs/MOSCREAM/2009-7-27.html http://www.russiatoday.com/About_Us/Blogs/MOSCREAM/2009-7-27.html Mon, 27 Jul 2009 07:40:00 +0300 Hate myself for being so lazy with this blog. Tempted to make a New Year's resolution: ‘I promise to regularly update my blog’. Fancy a midsummer New Year's party to celebrate that? Anyway, I was meant to write about glamour in Moscow. But then got terribly bored even thinking about it.No need to dwell upon this. Glamour is a post-Soviet craze for everything shiny and pretty. It's just embarrassing and silly. Let's talk smart things. Like bicycles without breaks - Fixed Gear. Fun and games! I haven't been so excited by anything in ages. /About_Us/Blogs/MOSCREAM/2009-7-6.html http://www.russiatoday.com/About_Us/Blogs/MOSCREAM/2009-7-6.html Mon, 06 Jul 2009 01:44:00 +0300 It's raining in Moscow.Keep in mind she's no eye-candy even in the sunshine, the rain makes the old hag look desperate.She's no longer "Moskva Zlatoglavaya" (gold-domed Moscow, called that for the numerous orthodox churches showing off their golden domes in sunny weather). No. Now she's gray, dull and well... looks her age- 862.Anyways, this glum palette sets me into a very Katy Moran mood.As a UK based artist she must know a thing or two about the rain.Read moreAs for me, I just can't wait for the weather to get back to its normal +30c sizzling heat to go wakeskating. /About_Us/Blogs/MOSCREAM/2009-7-4.html http://www.russiatoday.com/About_Us/Blogs/MOSCREAM/2009-7-4.html Sat, 04 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0300 I was away on a well-deserved holiday and then worked very hard but finally I made it back online. As I'm focusing on the arts side of life at the moment, I've been quite productive and I'll show you what I came up with myself, as well as some sources of inspiration. Meanwhile, I made a mid-year resolution to use up all my art supplies until next July.Here's a sneak peak about what I'm talking about:This is a bit of a challenge as normally I work with two colors- red and blue.See:I am aware of other colors, however and I'll prove it in my next post. /About_Us/Blogs/MOSCREAM/2009-4-29.html http://www.russiatoday.com/About_Us/Blogs/MOSCREAM/2009-4-29.html Wed, 29 Apr 2009 17:44:00 +0300 Voice of concern time. We recently ran a story about stray dogs. There are apparently 30,000 of the poor things on Moscow’s streets. Here’s the story itself if you missed it, mind though that it’s quite a disturbing sight.Anyhow, I had the chance to speak to Darya Taraskina, president of the charity animal rights fund BIM and she blames unreasonable breeding for this horrid number. That’s basically human cruelty, ignorance and indifference.Meet Indie the dog. I picked him up in April 2006, and I’ve never regretted doing so.
