If you read SbB regularly, you know former world-class Ice Dancer Anna Semenovich. After a mildly successful competitive figure skating career, she’s gone from obscure Ice Dancer to Russian showbiz celebrity. (Apparently it isn’t the same thing after all.)

(That a scarf, or a tongue?)

I’ve posted plenty of photos and videos of Semenovich over the years, but hadn’t seen this absolutely delightful dress that she wore to one of her recent performances.

That conveniently leads me to the hottest topic of debate the past decade in Russia.  Does Vladimir Putin cheat on his wife the former World Figure Skating Championships competitor have fake breasts?

(Russians bogarted our Titan missile technology)

After looking at photos from Semenovich’s skating days, the topic is apparently the Russian version of our own “Is Johnny Weir gay?” debate.

(Does Anna Semenovich have fake breasts? Is Johnny Weir gay?)

Of course, that won’t prevent Anna’s *fans* from closely examining the evidence in order to relieve their suspicion.

Along with entertaining Semenovich continuing to maintain her breasts are natural.

Unlike maddeningly-natural Romanian tennis player Simona Halep, who we introduced to the world in late April, I can’t claim to have launched former figure skater Anna Semenovich’s now-worldwide appeal.

(What lovely earrings)

When I first posted photos and videos of her last year, the regrettably-named Russian had already seen her fake boobs career asplode as a *pop star* in her home country.

(She is, sadly, wearing a top.)

Those photos of course included the most epic animated gif since I discovered this page.

(Reminds of PhilMick-caddie chest bump after holing fairway five iron)

Thanks to images like that, I resisted the urge of an epic weekend in Atlantic City with Jayson Williams’ posse to instead constantly click my YouTube Semenovich search bookmark. Read more…

I needed something to blow off steam from the monumental NBA trade today that rocked The Basin to its core, so I’m happy to report that I’ve discovered a figure skater turned actress/singer/model to help us all decompress into the weekend.

(You’re kidding, right?)

Her name is Anna Semenovich, and she was a Russian Ice Dancer who competed internationally from 1995-2000.

After retiring from skating, she underwent a rather remarkable physical transformation and has since expanded her, uh, career to singing and acting.

Plenty more pics and vids after the jump. Read more…
