Dearest Mary/Nataliya/Henry,

You put my emails on the wall ‘next to your sleeps’? I must say, while this attempt at ‘connecting’ frightened me, it also made me cry. Good cries. The type of crying usually only associated with suddenly being reunited with an abusive ex-lover on a low-rating day-time talk show. So, thank you Mary. (Can I just call you Mary again? I don’t know I made you change your name. Mary is magical name. Silly me.)

Sorry about the photo. I should have explained. It’s like one of those ‘Magic Eye’ pictures where you have to go crossed-eyed first to see it. Try again. A few times. Til you get. And take a photo of you trying so I can see if you’re doing it right.

Mary, my sweet little unicorn hoof, do you like midgets? I bought one today. It’s only 25 years old and not yet toilet trained. It keeps me up all night with its crying. Dear god. I should have just gotten a puppy or meercat instead. What was I thinking? I have named him Tina. Short for ‘Tinactin’ – my favorite brand of antifungal cream. You’ll meet him when you arrive. He needs to be on a leash, otherwise he runs away. He’s very fast. Like superhero fast. Not as fast as Superman, but faster than Batman. Somewhere in there. Anyway, that’s why I have been so busy and not able to write you back. Between toilet training Tina and gathering pairs of animals for my ark, things have been NUTSO, Mary!

DEBBIE DOWNER ALERT! Geez Mary, way to kill the mood with what it’s like living in Russia. I get it Mary, but let’s just save these sad little accounts for our first tête-à-tête (ohhh, guess who just got ‘heart flutters’? Survey says ME!). Anyway, send me your address so I can save you and send you fun happy playthings.

Thanks for answering my questions Mary. I now know everything I need about you to make my decision about helping you come to America. That should be a movie: “Coming to America”. It would be about you (obviously… or an African Prince…we’ll sort that out later). I’d answer your questions Mary, but again, they weren’t very good. If you think of some good ones, I will totally answer them.

I loved the photo of you “dancing good with bear”, you’re right, “I did see”. I saw it in my dreams…and my nightmares. I love your photos Mary. You really are “Hollywood Princess”. I am sorry I ever compared you to Mickey Rourke. If anything, you’re a mix between Charlize Theron, Steve Buscemi and Tilda Swinton. HOTSKI! I do love getting your photos Mary. They touch me. In places I didn't even know existed. They touch me much like an uncle touches his 7 year old niece when they are alone.

Anyways, gotta run, Tina just rolled in his poop and I’m still missing a pair of “White-faced Saki Monkeys’ for my ark (harder to find than you’d think)

KISS YOU!
S.

p.s. Photo of me attached. It’s a close-up of somewhere on my body! Guess Where!?! Put it next to your sleeps!

Dear Nataliya (your new name!),

So sorry for my late reply. I’ve been super busy building an Ark!

This is fun, right? Going by a new name? I’ll be honest with you Mary/Nataliya I was a little disappointed you didn’t choose ‘Henry’. It’s actually my all-time favorite Russian girls name. But as they say, ‘your body, your choice’.

That was one hell of a dream you had. It felt so real, like a typical day for me, especially when you mentioned how “we with You walked in park and a fur-tree ice-cream” – talk about déjà vu!

So about the $950 you just so casually threw into the conversation. Sounds like you’ve taken a good long swim in Lake You and really come up with some answers. The main answer, being ME. I thought long and hard about this request Henry. (Can I call you 'Henry'? I know you picked 'Nataliya' as your new name, but 'Henry' just feels so right- like eating a bowl of oatmeal wearing angel wings, ya know?). I want the best for you. I want you to walk in parks and eat fur-tree ice cream. I want you to continue to ‘flied somewhere in clouds’. You deserve it Henry, you do.

Anyway, the big question is: will I help you? Let’s just say I will help you the same way mercury poisoning helped Jeremy Piven get out of that piss-weak Broadway play “Speed-the-Plow’. But first, I need you to answer some personal questions to help me justify my decision.

QUESTIONS TO HELP ME JUSTIFY MY DECISION:
1) Where is your nearest 7-11?
2) Are you allergic to any types of wood? (not including balsa)

Weeee! okay now you ask me questions!!!!!!!

Righto, i've got work to do - roads don't paved themselves - but as you say: “I look forward to hearing from you with VERY VERY VERY BIG impatience!”

Your friend,
s.

p.s.
I sent you a photo of me. It's a little blurry, but i'm the one sitting on the white tiger wearing the hat. I ware hat too!!!

Dear Mary,

Thanks for your latest email. Cool story about you petting a ‘black cat with a beautiful eye’. You have a magic touch when it comes to words, Mary.

So, here’s the thing. I want to talk to you about your name. It’s not the most authentic Russian name is it? I’ve gotta be honest with you, I feel like I’m getting a little gibbed. I’ve put together a list of names. I want you to pick a couple and we’ll go from there.

Here’s the list. My favorites have a star next to them.

AUTHENTIC RUSSIAN NAME LIST (Please choose 2)
Irina
Svetlana*
Anastasia
Olga
Nataliya*
Henry*
Tatiana

Mary, you’re so sensitive. I didn’t say that I didn’t like your clothes, I just asked what was up with the denim. You do please me Mary, so no, you do not need to send me ‘sexy sexy’…at least not yet.

So 'yay' about you coming to New York. The closest airport is JFK. I’d pick you up but I’m lazy and it’s best you learn how to get around yourself. University of Life, Mary!

I’m loving the photo of you with all your stuffed animals. I’m so glad you still feel it’s socially acceptable to have a bedroom full of stuffed toys even though you are 27. I hope you’re not thinking of bringing all your stuffed toys to America though Mary, I’ll let you bring 3 (max.), unless you’re willing to cover their share of the rent. Then that’s a different story.

Great questions again Mary. Clearly you think hard before crafting them.
I shall answer them using my usual easy-to-read template.

Do you have car? Only assholes drive in NY, Mary.
Animal? This is a stupid question and I refuse to answer it.
Are your gentle? I have the hands of Franciscan Monk. I’ll let you touch them as soon as you arrive (I do ask that you wash your hands thoroughly though before we make contact – I don’t like germies)

Alright, I’m gonna go clean out my closet so you have somewhere to sleep when you arrive. You’re cool with sleeping standing up, yeah?

Love ya!
Your friend, S

P.S.
Be safe in Moscow. Get me a present?

Hello my dear!

I am so glad to see your letter again,I think I am a lucky girl.
I sorry agan my spelling is not to your standards. I try my hard to check my spellings and make you happy. I want to please you. I make my youngest sister check my spellings.

You are not to be liking my clothes? I wear what is popular in Russia. How can I please you?You wanting sexy sexy?

You to ask me many question so I answer them to my best. Yes I am liking carrot. My youngest sister had rabbit for many years. We feeded it carrot. It liked a lot.

I brush my teeth many time a day. I have good teeth. In Russia is hard to stay looking good in mouth because it cost much. Looks is all I have, but like I say I am no Hollywood Princess. I want to be. You can help me?

You ask strange question. What is last furry thing you touch? maybe I not understand? This mornignn I touch cat I find in street. Its black cat with beautiful eye. I want to keep but my mother says we not have enough money. When I move to America to be with you perhaps we have many cat.

My friend I have many dream.I want to leave Russia, I know it sounds ugly but I know that I will be lost here like many young girls before me. It is not place to grow children and have stable future. I want to meet my right man.

I think in future I can work as fitness trainer I have a certificate. My mother is my great problem too, she has a great dream to see me married and she wants to make me happy but I think it is only my business I am not a little child. She tells me every day that I should get married very soon...

To be fair I am not sure I am able to explain all in first message I want to say so much! I just want you to know that I am not afraid to work, I am fairly goal oriented and I am sure you will be not disappoined to meet me in real life. I am going to spend three months abroad to work in any good place, agency promises to help me because it is only the way I can leave Russia. I will have all documents to travel in a few days and i will travel to moscow then, from moscow I will travel to you and they ask me about name of the city i am going to work, if you do not mind to meet me please tell me the name of your city and nearest international airport! I will book my flight from moscow!

Do you have car? Animal?Are your gentle? I want to know many this about you. Your interests, tastes and hobbies. Tell me!

Kiss you! I will miss you already
Mary

p.s. I send more photo of me. I want photo of you. I can’t wait!!!!
