My Obsession

The level of my obsession for Ulyana Lopatkina's Legend of Love knows no bounds.  Perhaps the Boy Scouts of America banned my kind for our obsession with obscure Soviet-era ballets that are never performed stateside.  Ulyana Vyacheslavovna's portrayal of Queen Mekhmehneh Bahnu is dripping with palpable passion and forbidden love.  The queen is in love with a local artist who loves her dying sister.  The sinister queen's fierce intensity is a level of emotion that only than most insane of Russian women appear capable of possessing.  Many love Yevgenia Obraztsova in the romantic role.  It should be no surprise that I love the tortured bitch.  She is truly and utterly fabulous.
