My agency party is next week and it is Russian themed - as in, commie threat, KGB, cold war, Bond vixens. Being held at a club called Red Square here in Toronto. I already secured myself a black russian fur hat and Hammer and Sickle pin for the fron of the hat, and will be wearing a sultry black dress. But I need more ideas. I have the nauiseating feling I will be surrounded by 30 other girls in black dreses and Russky chapeaus. What can I do to stand out from the crowd?

So, would this be called a... Communist Party?

Man, that was a terrible joke. Anyway, maybe you could get a male friend who is shorter than you and you could both go as Boris and Natasha Badenov from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. I can't really think of any other famous Soviet women. Maybe you could go as Lee Harvey Oswald's wife or that lady who slept with JFK.

I second the Natasha and Boris(maybe because my name is Natasha) but she wears a purple dress alot and black. Your husband could dress like Boris. Good luck and have fun.

I know it's too late to buy from ebay but maybe you know someone with one.
A russian amber necklace would be nice too.
I have all these things as I'm part Russian so you can borrow them if you can get to CA :)

I think this necklace is great and a conversation piece as well. Would be a pretty choker.

Wow - quite the deluge of suggestions! Though the necklaces and \shawl are gorgeous, I'm going for more of a campy russian look, not an authentic one.

I guess I'll stick with the fur hat... and maybe grow my armpit hair to match!

(waiting for the rotten tomatoes to fly...)

Hmmm...I don't know, but I guess you should make sure that it doesn't say "FREE Sample"!
