Video: Russian Dolls, Brighton Beach's Answer To Jersey Shore

2011_07_brightbea.jpg
You may be fist-pumping in excitement over the upcoming return of Jersey Shore, but will you be saying da or nyet to Russian Dolls? Russian Dolls is Lifetime's new reality show about Russian women (and men) living in Brooklyn. Sheepshead Bites got a hold of the trailer, and it does seem to live up to the producer's promise, "There will be plenty of vodka, techno music and guys wearing Adidas pants, leather jackets and gold chains, and driving souped-up cars. There will also be a lot of hot, decked-out Russian girls." Added bonus: Cocktail weiners in puff pastry!



Lifetime calls the show a "rare and entertaining look at Brighton Beach’s colorful multi-generational families whose dramas and dreams contend with their Russian heritage while living in this famous, alluring, vibrant and highly protective community." Which sort of fits the initial casting call for the show: "Are you the Russian Snooki or The Situation? Are you a super outgoing and fun-loving Russian-American that sometimes sneaks kalbaska, pel'meni and vodka from the fridge? Can people hear the Euro/Techno/Russian music blasting from your car before they see you pull up? ... The cameras will roll as you do what you do best—eat, drink and PARTY."
