FEBRUARY
19, 2006 --
LPR
went to the Russian & Turkish Baths, Valentine's night
-- not for a "schvitz" but at the invitation of
Gemini (Jamie) and Scorpio (Larisa)
to photograph the first dance party in the 144-year history of the baths.
This is the fourth Valentine's party organized by Gemini and Scorpio, which
attracted about a hundred "artists, writers, performers, musicians and
tech geeks" according to the email about this "bash" that reached
LPR.
Pirogen were made by Scorpio and were delicious.
Music was provided by Romashka.

LPR got the above
photos of Gemini and Scorpio (www.geminiandscorpio.com)
and, mainly, of the "gypsy" band (www.romashka.net)
-- noting that the atmosphere, with celebrants in swimming pool attire,
was convivial -- and the pirogen were terrific.
