great picture. It is so big.
Begging pardon for the observation and its intended pun (which many must have done before…):
it would be impossible for me to play Irina and not feel a Krush for her – also, she would probably Krush me… hehe – sorry again..
I cannot discern any makeup on either player from this photograph…should have been a double-forfeit.
Seriously combative expression on Irina’s face. And that hat. Does the hat mean she came to do battle? It looks sort of like an Elizabethan helmet, without the iron.
