Hot or Not?

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the hottest Russian woman working in the nuclear industry of them all?

Nuclear.ru and Rosatom are set to crown this year’s . . . MISS ATOM!

Who has what it takes to win? After months of primary research watching the Moscow streets, I’ve gleaned a few tips for turning the slavic heads:

  • Make Up: the more the better. When you cannnot see any part of your natural face, you have one more layer to go.
  • Hair: Don’t tease, provoke. Bigger is better and, like the ever-present mullets waving in the Moscow wind, the 80’s is always the most fashionable choice.

Don’t end up like this forlorn women dreaming of a stable currency or this artsy hippy chick who is so not going to win.

Oh, wait, the most important part of this post. The contest is based on online voting. Do you have any idea how many readers we have at ACW?

The voting begins February 20. We will “discuss” our designee then.
