..Check these out .. ;)...



On the third day of his visit to Russia's Tuva region in southern Siberia, Russian President Vladimir Putin worked on polishing his Marlboro Man image.






The trim 54-year-old is a hit with the ladies. "What a hunk!" wrote one female SPIEGEL ONLINE reader from the US. "I've only seen Putin as a meek little Russian leader. ... Well, this most certainly shows (him in) a different light. He's a real man's man!"





Here Putin appears to be auditioning for a part in a Village People tribute show. We know the 80s are back, Vlads, but can a world leader really pull off fingerless leather gloves? And why the shrubbery in the belt?
