RIA Novosti reports that former spy Anna Chapman wants to participate in the designing of a uniform for ground specialists of Russian space centers. Chapman was part of a Russian spy ring that was broken up this summer. She was later freed as part of a spy swap deal with Russia. She subsequently received one of Russia's highest medals for espionage."Chapman told me that she intends to participate in designing clothing for the Khrunichev [Space] Center, in what capacity, designer or financially, she did not specify," [Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center chief Sergei] Krikalev said. "As for me, I said we're going to do something similar for the [Gagarin] Astronauts Training Center, and Anna Chapman immediately expressed her desire to participate," he continued adding that further details have not yet been discussed. |

EXCELLENT. I'll be looking for a chance to steal and use that line. Maybe it's a classic, but I've never heard it before.

If some of her past outfits are anything to go by, you may find they only go on sale at certain 'specialist' shops! |

Not unless there has been a significant change to their sales strategy! |

Well, it looks like Ms. Chapman won't be designing outfits for Russian space workers. RIA Novosti reports that experts are designing a new uniform for Russia's cosmonauts but former spy Anna Chapman is not among them. "A few groups [designers] have moved from words to business independently, but Anna Chapman is not among them yet," said Sergei Krikalyov of the Gagarin Astronaut Training Center. |

She'll probably announce she's going in to space instead...I think I'm joking! |
