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,
