Anything Mr Putin can do so can I!(says our Prime Minister)
We must have a dedicated wall in the City Centre just for posters. No one can find out who is on anymore. Let us put a large space perhaps by The Beach where bands and singers and even artists can display posters advertising themselves.
I am flattered that The Stirrer has used my idea for keeping the noise down at the Abacus building. I hope it has worked. Certainly the controversy seems to have subsided.
We must make sure these Property Developers don't get their way!
There has been a distinct improvement in over weight females not wearing crop tops. I think maybe my Style Police are having an effect!
Keep up the good work, people!
Until next time,
Igor.

Greetings my friends and a very warm but wet welcome to my blog.
My good friend Captain Tongo called me the other day and suggested I think about ways to use urban space for gardening.
This is called Guerilla Gardening and I think it is a very good idea.
In fact I have come up with an idea for Spitfire Island in Erdington by B&Q.
We could be growing vegetables everywhere there is space!
Evidently Tescos are thinking of offering land next to some of their stores as allotments.
Good news on The Rainbow front. The Abacus has gone bust! Maybe the person who complains should be moved to upstairs in the pub!!!!
My efforts to stop ladies leaving the prices on the soles of their shoes is having results. My Style Police report a noticeable decline in numbers reported in the City Centre.
I love your summer sports. I am hoping to get down to Edgbaston this week to see some Underwater Cricket!
In fact I might design some new sportswear especially for your summer.
Welcome to my latest observations on the Style of Birmingham.
I think this man below looks very stylish with his matching boxers and pocket handkerchief.
A very smart way to attend the office!
Now I read with interest that the council are to spend £70,000 repairing the leak in the "Floozy in the Jacuzzi" Maybe they should send one of their engineers to B&Q to buy a tube of Silicon Sealant for only £6.99!
In Russia she would be called "Olgo in the Volga!" I enjoyed my trip to The Taste of Birmingham where I met a fellow countryman Ivan Bogeroff. Unfortunately we couldn't find any Vodka!
Captain Tongo was there and he promised me some fresh Beetroot for my Borsch recipe.
The team from City TV Birmingham are interested in me taking my show on the screen, so watch out for more news.
I will be visiting my Style Police over the next few days to make sure they are keeping up the good work. Especially the prices on shoes.
I hope we are starting to see sense in Digbeth. No more silliness. We want vibrant area, not quiet wilderness and boring people.
My thanks go to The Stirrer.com for showing my solution to the Abacus noise problem.
My Ice BBQs are available soon. Red is cool. Blue cooler and Black very STRONG.All you need are Ice chippings, some tasty Ice Bergers, Ice Kebabs and Iceberg Lettuce, a bottle of Romanoff Vodka and you have a party!
My Style Police are active around the city. Sightings of price stickers on lovely ladies shoes are coming down, but a glut of crop tops on big bellies is a worry and we must stay vigilant.
I'm recruiting extra Style Police, so if you want to join send your CV to Gary at Aston FM or contact Igor direct.
I had wonderful time at The Canada Day BBQ at The Earl of Edgbaston's on Wednesday. Lots of good people there having a good time. I took along a few bottles of Romanoff Vodka to help the celebrations.
Here in Birmingham we must do something about this crazy situation where just one person can complain about the noise from a music venue and the Council take action to close it down. ONE person! Why move to an area that has bars, pubs and music venues and then complain. GO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY!!! I am working on some special Igor Romanoff designer ear muffs for this poor misguided individual.
In the meantime I hope you like my cocktails, especially using Romanoff Vodka.
I will speak to Captain Tongo and give him my Aunt Irena's Borscht recipe.
Tomorrow I am going to the Media Awards with my good friend Gary James and The Earl of Edgbaston. I am looking forward to it very much. I think we will drink some Vodka!
Greetings my friends and thank you for visiting my blog.
I can report that the response to my Style Police is going well and we are asking people of Birmingham to consider what they are buying to wear.
Is this what you would call style???
Also as I said to Gary, "Ladies, check the soles of your shoes and remove those stickers."
I enjoyed the Lord Mayor's Show, especially when my friends The Earl of Edgbaston and Captain Tongo played with Steve Gibbons, and The Lord Mayor himself sang a song. Just look at his jacket, it could be an Igor Non-Smoking jacket. Marvellous!
Don't forget if you want to be part of my Style Police send a photo and a brief description of yourself to Igor Romanoff, C/o Gary James at Aston FM.
As I said on my last blog I have wonderful news. I am excited to tell you that I have been commissioned to install the identical hubcaps from the Selfridges building here in Birmingham on the outer walls of The Kremlin. Work is already underway. I am painting them Red for Russia.
I still think that they should be pink here in Birmingham. You can see in the picture how good it looks.
I have also submitted my designs for illuminating Spaghetti Junction so that it can be seen from space. I have a cousin already up there in the space station so I hope he will be able to see it.
I hope you will send me your CVs for the Style Police. I want to make sure the citizens of Birmingham are dressed correctly. No more crop tops on fat people or baggy jeans around people's buttocks. This has to stop! Please send any photos and resumes c/o Gary James at Aston FM.
Please look out for my Blini shops, I have included a recipe below. It is very good with cream chees and smoked salmon.
Thank you for listening and reading my blog.
Igor.
Blinis
Ingredients
300ml Milk 1 Bay leaf 1 tsp dried Yeast,
50g plain flour, sifted
a pinch of Sugar 4 egg whites,
2 tbsp sunflower oil
Method
1. To make the blinis. Gently heat the milk with the bay leaf in a saucepan. Add the dried yeast to a large mixing bowl. Add the sifted flour to the yeast.
2. Slowly whisk the warm milk into the yeast mixture, discarding the bay leaf, making a smooth thick batter. Mix in the sugar.
3. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Using a metal spoon, gently fold the beaten egg white into the dough. Leave the batter to rest for at least 10 minutes.
4. Heat a heavy non-stick frying pan. Lightly coat with oil. Drop tablespoons of the blini batter into the pan, spacing well apart. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the blinis. Turn the blinis over gently using a palette knife or spatula and cook on the other side for a further 2 minutes.
5. Transfer the cooked blinis to a large flat serving plate. Repeat the process until all the batter has been used to make blinis.
Greetings to all my style conscious friends. I am sorry it has taken a while to update my blog but I have been having very important meetings with my fellow countrymen. I will reveal all in my next broadcast with my friend Gary James on his show in 2 weeks time.
I hope you have all removed your braces and belts and allowed your trousers to slip down your buttocks. It is the only way to let these young people know how stupid they look!
I forgot to mention the photograph albums this week. I really think we should print out our digital pictures instead of filling up our mobile phones. It would be much easier to see the pictures than trying to see them on a tiny screen.
Look out for my Style Police. They will be patrolling a Primark or New-Look near you!
Welcome again to Igor Romanoff's style page. As you can see even famous people are already wearing codpieces, so what a good idea to introduce a zip and be able to keep your belongings such as car keys, credit cards, and of course your mobile phone inside. I will return in 2 weeks time with another style tip for you all.
Welcome again to my wonderful world of style. As you may have heard on my piece with Gary James on Aston FM my ideas for making your home more personalized using designer door knobs. Here are a few that I think work really well. Maybe you can think of some that reflect your own personality or occupation. Let me know.
Here are some early images of the Earl of Edgbaston's Ferrari V12 powered Nano. We think the Chinese engineers may have a little headache fitting it all together!!!
I am sorry for the delay in posting my blog from last Wednesday. I have been very busy travelling around Europe studying all the wonderful styles and fashions. Tune in next time for another fantastic tip. Here are some pictures I have found to illustrate my idea for Designer Bathing Caps. Notice how the girl in the bar looks so cool and relaxed. Until the 25th my friends,
Greetings and welcome to my blog. As I told Gary in my piece, Non-Smoking Jackets are a wonderful new style to behold. Here are just a few I have found. I even noticed Eddie Izzard was wearing one in a new film just last night on TV. Until my next broadcast, Igor.
Welcome to my blog. If you missed my piece on Gary James Show here it is again. If you would like to buy one of my wonderful Igor Romanoff Designer Fridge Magnets, click on the Underarm Productions link and go to my page. They are not available in the shops and only cost £5.00 including postage. I will be speaking to Gary again on Wednesday 18th February when I will have another style tip.
Welcome to the musings and observations of Igor Romanoff, Style Guru. Listen to my morning spot in the Gary James Show on Aston FM 89.1FM every other Wednesday at 8.15am.
The first one is Wednesday 4th February. You can hear them again on my Blogspot. Thank You.
