"shouldn't i be wearing one of them fuzzy hat things with a soviet sign on it?"
No, as it would probably clash with the bondage trousers
I have one though, and an officers peaked cap, along with the rest of the uniform among other parts of my 'collection'.
Like kitten, I am not that surprised at the appearence of Comrade scorch, combining a Kiwi confusion with a vaguely anti-authoritarian tilt of the head, all of which is complemented by a dazed stare with matching leather accessories. Somehow, however, it does not really strike me as the get up adopted by future communist leaders (or any sort of leader for that matter).
Maybe if you hit the vodka hard for two straight years (half a dozen bottles a day), you could develop the fleshy proletarian jowls of a Khrushchev or a Brezhnev, and a fine protuding gut that is the mark of all servants of the workers
Shave off that hair, and burn in a Gorby birthmark.
Grow a luxuriant mustache a la Fidel or Uncle Joe (but don't do it until you have followed through with the previous two steps, or you will end up looking like one of the Village People, and will attract all sorts of attention from strange men who will woo, wine and dine you in order to take your virtue
)
Develop a cruel scowl, as if you have been marred by the cold winter winds coming west off the Urals.
Finally, posture. None of this standing up straight. The true posture you need to work on is illustrated in this little joking anecdote about Russia:
"Two men were walking down a street in Moscow. One was carrying a large sack of potatos, and was looking bowed,burdened, downtrodden and tired of life. The other was carrying nothing, and was looking bowed, burdened, downtrodden and tired of life."
Only then can we worry about the hat.
Now, the process of getting a picture on the post. One has a photo, and can scan it in. Now, from there, is it simply a matter of attaching the picture, or does it needed to be uploaded to somewhere. If it is the latter, one does not know how to do it. Any hints will be appreciated, and rewarded with an old camel steak, with a side of sand.
Believe it or not, I lightened it up a bit. The flash on my digital camera is way too bright, so I didn't use it. I would've looked like a ghost if I had. But where's your picture, kOFc?
