I’d like to see what they all look like now.
Wow they look normal! Where are all the duck faces and hooker clothes?!?
Not bad at all. I wish there was a way to tell if a girl could keep her good looks till this day (20 years later). Maybe meet her mother. But by then you are already in a kind of relationship, it is difficult to get out gracefully
the magazine was called “Soviet warrior” actually
long live socialism!
Very lovely girls, love them.
