This is a wonderful site with pics of the famous Russian artist Nicolay Bessonov:

It's a great, interesting website about Romani (Gypsy) culture and history. And you will see lots of pics and videos, in which gypsy women dance and live barefoot.

Thanks for that link. Some of those women look amazing....I love their style with the colourful long dresses.
It is a shame that some of the photos look as if they have been photoshopped or put together like a collage.
Nice find anyway.

Cheers,

Hi all

Some new pics posted in the Svenko website. Those Gypsy girls are way cool! I wonder how tough the soles of their feet are, they must be used to walk barefoot on all kind of surfaces and weather.
