Can I even read this book? Well…no. But I just received an autobiography on my beloved Maria Germanova all the way from Russia, and I’m not gonna let a bunch of Cyrillic alphabets stand in my way!

To be perfectly honest, I had despaired of ever receiving this package. I don’t typically order many things from that part of the world and wasn’t sure how long it might take to arrive (and it seemed like it was taking forever! Although maybe I had only ordered it three weeks ago. Hm. I should better manage my expectations.)

In a prescient missive heralding things to come, I received the below image link via Instagram yesterday from a friend. This is a great re-enactment of Maria Germanova’s Blue Bird costume–doesn’t the Laughing Cow cheese container disks just totally make it?! Brava to the creator! And as it happened, the book arrived not an hour later.
