In Russia, many men now carry purses.

I'm not really sure what else to say about this.

Who's your Asian friend that wrote the above comment?? :) I thought it was very enlightening...

Oh!! The Russian man purse! They were starting to be all the rage when I was in Moscow. Memories!

You brave, brave soul. Wish we could talk in person once you're back. Coming to UT anytime soon?

YAY! You're back (in the blogging world)! :) And you're in RUSSIA!! I was just thinking about you today. I'm excited to hear about all your adventures! Love you!

Men in St. petersburg were way ahead of the guys in Moscow on the purse thing...saw it on my mission, can't believe that was like more than 10 years ago! great pics!

Gotta get me one of those man purses. How did you celebrate the Fourth of July?

Allison said...

Well! I'll be interested to see if this apparently long-standing tradition in northern Russia has penetrated to the south ...

Molly, just for you, I'm leaving the sketchy asian link intact.

Cherie -- I will be in Utah hopefully sometime this fall and would LOVE to catch up in person!

MBK -- I think Rachel has already figured this into her souvenir budget for all the men in your family.

Jocie -- miss you too and so wish I could have been there for the blessing!

Wanders -- I celebrated the 4th by wearing a patriotic Gap shirt and thinking about how much better my toilet is in America than the one I have here.
