Vladislav Rikunov’s new “warm, woody scent” is the result of six months of creative observation and inspiration, the Belarusian perfumer told The Daily Beast. Rekunov’s creation, “Leader Number One” eau de toilette, was designed in Belarus, made in France, and approved by Putin himself, according to the perfume’s distributors. The fragrance is on sale in only one place: in the heart of Moscow, on Red Square.

3. Contrary to some beliefs, this one was not created by Sarah Palin

Though the ad appeared in a university newspaper the same day the newspaper wrote about Palin's appearance there.



I laughed my ass off.

But Trump will need to catch up: does he have his own calendar yet, complete with shirtless photos, like Putin?
