(Interesting: Note none of the top 10 are blonde... all seem to be
brunettes.... this is kind of a new thing, no?)

I figure I can get away with being OT, given this nicely gets us away from the
whole nationalist frenzy.... and as much as Mr.Atkinson amuses me..... a cute
gal wins every time..... and she appears to have brains in even greater
proportions (except for the bit about being a
lawyer...)  ;-)

Some interesting articles about Russia. What (oddly) caught my eye was the
military picture showing a tank crossing some water with a team of guys in a
boat rowing in the foreground. Also, take a quick look at the poll on the
bottom left. Interesting who isn't on the list..... (or would be covered by
"don't know")....

Jon, when is the Russian beauty queen/cop mini going to be available
from the gentleman's collection?

I vote for a miniature. I wonder what the licensing fees would be?

It is? Why would you say that?

Playboy runs about 10 of 12 blondes on an annual basis, so there's a peceptual
gap. I guess Hef is just nuts about blondes.
