Project RuSu 365
Not always so successful or interesting, & not always daily, though certainly a reflection of our daily lives - more like pick of the day. Our goal - to share our world and improve our skills. Thanks to all the members of the SmugMug Daily Community for your support and input. Feel free to leave feedback by clicking on 'Add Comment' below. We look forward to hearing your thoughts. The photo of the day will always be in first position. Thank you for looking. - Rustem Safronov & Susan Gilman a.k.a. RuSu. This gallery was started on October 26, 2010.

Just back from getting my holiday manicure and took this shot of one the hair stylist's stations. I wanted an appointment closer to the holidays, but it was today or Jan. 20th, if you can believe it. Generally, Russian women spend a large portion of their salaries on cosmetics & salon procedures so it can be difficult to get an appointment. I once offered one of my staff a 20% salary increase during her annual review & she scoffed at it saying it wouldn't even cover her monthly cosmetics expenditures. No, I haven't jumped on that bandwagon. (12.12.2011)
Have a good Monday!

Thanks for all your comments on my turkey/Thanksgiving Day shot. It was nice to see at the end of a horrific day during which my pocketbook with all my documents [everything imaginable] was stolen. Spent hours at the police station where the police convinced me to report it as lost rather than stolen - long story. <br />
<br />
The good news is that I received a call that someone found my bag & although the money & some other things were gone, thankfully, my passport & other important documents have been returned.<br />
<br />
Hope those who celebrated had a wonderful holiday & are enjoying the weekend. (11.26.2011)](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/Project-RuSu-365/i-MwLQbR4/0/ea82df94/Ti/A_edited-3-Ti.jpg)
