    Hot In The Hive: Matryoshka Measuring Cups

    If you happen to have a Ukrainian grandmother like I do, you may be able to relate to my childhood experience of having to kill seemingly endless durations of time at her house playing with her collection of silly Russian nesting dolls while she "babysat" me. Yeah, I was five, but I wasn't easily amused enough to think that taking the little people apart and fitting them back inside of each other sufficed as a good time at Grandma's. Although I was bored nearly to tears at the time, now that I'm technically an adult, I can't help but be drawn to these cute Russian doll measuring cups, called M-Cups after their actual name, Matryoshka dolls. While the dolls themselves may be a completely functionless ode to the old country, when brought to the realm of cooking, they're actually a brilliant idea in kitchenware organization and space-saving! Plus, with all my childhood practice, I could probably break a record with how quickly I'm able to stack them up and put them away after completing a well-measured recipe!


    Price: $11.99
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the M-Cups to the Hive.

    Where would you go to celebrate the launch of a Russian Winter Festival? Moscow? St. Petersburg? Gorky Park? Wrong - London's Trafalgar Square! That's where Russian stunner Natalia Vodianova - fave mannequin of Gucci, Marc Jacobs, and Calvin Klein - teamed up with a gaggle of supersized Russian dolls decked out in traditional Russian garb. While Natalia looks sexy as ever, I also kind of like the flower print shirt and yellow kerchief on those plump dollies!

    Russia. The country that brought us the Ballet Russo, caviar, and Kandinsky. Plus one of the greatest creations in human history. No, I don't mean War and Peace. I'm talking vodka, people! And when it comes to warm winter style, the Russians are notorious for getting it right with dark, social realist colors, richly hued makeup, oversized furs, and winter boots that are as functional as they are chic.
