Michelle Obama’s visit to Moscow included a trip yesterday to St. Dmitriy Orphanage and hospital, which receives funding through USAID and the UN Development Program. There, she met about two dozen children, some who sang for her, played the piano or gave the first lady handmade gifts. Afterwards, Mrs. Obama met with nursing students (in the same building) who do outreach work to sick in the community.

There's no one who will go such extravagances for a mid-season show but Karl Lagerfeld--this Pre-Fall 2009 he showed his collection for Chanel in Moscow to a star-studded audience. Lagerfeld offered up the most extravagant of frocks and suits, in luxe fabrics with rich embroidery. What makes this an easier pill to swallow is that the collection is actually part of Chanel's métiers d'art collection. Launched by Lagerfeld in 2002, the line is meant to demonstrate the talents of the house ateliers. WWD called it "a trend to hyper-luxury and fanning pre-collection mania". Which is why, to some, it could just be seen as couture clothing with a ready-to-wear label.

It's been awhile since I've seen a pay phone, but then again, I don't live in Moscow either. After hearing Comstar UTS and Moscow’s City Telephone Network plan to construct 200 Wi-Fi pay phones in Moscow, I was all ears.
RF Design explains how new phone booths scheduled to be installed in Moscow will allow all Comstar customers access to access the internet. The new phone boxes are said to be installed in train stations, airports and hotels as customers will be able to use pre-paid cards, SIM cards and MGTS phone cards to access the internet.
According to CrunchGear, these new and improved pay phones will let people connect to a Wi-Fi network using their laptops.
