Russian Spygirl Update
An Anna Chapman Russian Spygirl doll has been released and sales are brisk according to the UK manufacturer. The $29.95 doll comes in two versions: the topless naughty schoolgirl look and another look the manufacturer is calling the predator, both accessorized with toy handguns. I’m suspicious this company just keeps dolls in inventory and if someone infamous hits the news and the company can push a doll out quickly who resembles their doll stock, so be it. This doll doesn’t look like the Spygirl at all and I don’t see where the topless naughty schoolgirl look ties into her spying activities. Although it probably does tie into boobs equals bucks.
A political quickie: Vice President Biden appeared on the David Letterman show and when Letterman put him on the spot about the Spygirl issue, Biden joked that he wasn’t the one who sent her back. The inference was that she was sexy and sexy was enough to stay in the US, espionage aside.
In other Spygirl news, she apparently released word that she would never do a porn video, though this word didn’t come thru official media channels. Playboy supposedly extended an offer for her to pose for their magazine. No ‘da’ or ‘nyet’ on whether she has accepted or turned down the offer to go topless for cash. Playboy Magazine does need a boost and capitalizing on the Spygirl might pump slagging sales of the iconic men’s magazine. In general, the internet has killed porn magazine sales. Hopefully, we haven’t heard the last from the Russian Spygirl, as it would be a shame if she slipped into obscurity.
