Because I’m a sucker for true love, I spend most of my free time surfing websites that specialize in the sale of mail order brides.
Call me batsh*t crazy, but there’s something about the idea of logging onto PayPal and having your soul mate arriving via UPS shipment two weeks later that I find almost serendipitous.
Sadly, not all of these 110-280 lb. packages are serious about finding the wealthy stranger of their dreams. Many of these women are actually scam artists, using their fondness for woody perennials and aversion to fashionable clothing to lure in lonely foreign men.
So, in an effort to help future foreign wife consumers, I’ve come up with a game I like to call “Return To Sender”.
The rules are simple:
1. Look at the following mail order bride profiles.
2. Pick out the one you think isn’t really a mail order bride.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page for answer.
Winners will receive 50$ off their next Russian Amputee* Mail Order Bride. (Click here to see options.)
*Please note- All amputees come fully-limbed.
PS. Since the answer is at the bottom of this post, naturally I will be going by the honor system.
Good Luck!

Answer: Obviously Tatiana is not really a mail order bride.
She’s a tree.

Just Making Convo 
Svetlana’s hair looks like something they would still be cleaning up at Chernobyl.
Why would anyone pay for a mail order bride? Obviously, if you wander around in the forest long enough with a dart gun full of tranquilizers, you’ll run into one in the wild. BOOM – free bride.
Exactly! Sometimes I wonder if they think American men are all like Grizzly Adams.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I don’t always think that. Just sometimes.
Where can I get one of those fancy leaf-hats? I feel like if I had one of those, I’d have the confidence necessary to start dating again. LET’S DO THIS.
I’m making us matching ones as we speak. (I hope you’re not jealous, but mine has a horn.)
i swear i almost choked on my salad…hilarious….
Thanks, Jacky. To be honest, that’s my biggest concern for Alena…
Those trees are going to press charges. Trees are like that.
I know, right? I blame Environmentalists for always trying to hug them.
When I read your blog my kids are always napping and I have to stifle my laughter, so it kind of sounds like I am Ekaterina having a splinter removed from my arse cheek.
Brilliant, as usual for the modern day strolling minstrel’s daughter. I’m a fan. I will totally let you sign my boob when we meet.
Really? Sweet!! I promise to use my quill with the rounded tip.
I don’t like playing “Post Office” with mail-order brides. I give her a “special delivery” and she complains about my “dead letter.”
That probably has more to do with the fact that only geriatrics send letters by post anymore.
I’m sorry, but did you actually stumble across a sexy tree-molester bride site? Because from all trees everywhere, I am highly offended and feel used and abused by these ladies. And to have one of them strip me naked and wear my clothes on her head? I feel so dirty.
You know, there really should be a Tree Abuse Hotline. Maybe I can use my “Eddie Bauer Preferred Customer” status to pull some strings.
Until then, if you need to talk, call me. I’m here to help.
Reblogged this on 1 Million Reblogs.
Man, i was really convinced Tatiana was genuine
You weren’t the only one, NM. It was her inverted jazz hands that fooled me.
This lovesick comedy is wonderful. Also maybe diagnostic. There is recurring theme of wood …
I hope that you’re profiting from your amazing sense of humour.

The Russians named a tree after me, if that means anything.
(And by “the Russians” I mean “me”.)
Oh, Right, you must mean the boner tree. It only grows in Chernobyl. Upside down with its roots to the sky. Or something like that … It must be quite an honor to have a tree named after you. Yet another reason to admire you.
I prefer to call it the “Always up for a good time” tree.
(Mostly because it’s the only way I can sleep at night.)
These are my brand of women. Too hard to decide. One is trying to kiss a horse and two are trying to screw trees.
I’m not going to lie, at first I thought the horse pic was an ad for another Tori Spelling Movie of The Week.
You are batshit crazy. See I did it. THERE!
I thought Julia was a tree lover until I saw Ekaterina riding that log. BUT then I saw Luba (who might need some more Luba) and realized those two were just posers.
HA! Why can’t I stop laughing at your Luba joke?
Oh right. Because I’m batshit crazy.
See…admitting it is the first step
I thought the first step was applying the Luba?
You are amaze balls. and i’ve missed you incredibly.
I’ve been too busy freaking out about turning 30 tomorrow. i gave the blog a makeover, since i couldn’t afford one for my own face.
I”m back, for the most part. And i’ve missed you’re site so terribly that i almost posted a Craigslist missed connection ad.
I’ve missed you too! So much so that I almost answered a Craigslist missed connection ad! Okay, maybe the two aren’t related. But still. That doesn’t make you any less my cyberboo.
(I have no idea what that means.)
All kinds of awesomeness, I read your blog because you look into these things for me. Why all the trees? Who cares, it’s funny!
Exactly! Trees are funny! Especially the mockernut tree.
Er, I think I need another Redbull…
I just discovered your blog and am so happy that I did. You are insanely funny. I am an instant fan!
Thanks, Mimi! To be fair, I did get most of my material from Mother Nature.
I am glad to see that Russian women are so outdoorsy! Bet outdoorsy even better in Russian winter!
They really are! Not to mention the fact that their ushankas really bring out their eyes.
Hilarious! Thanks for this!
I only wish the Russians felt the same way. Judging from my inbox, they don’t take kindly to people mocking their love of nature/wealthy older men.
Thanks for stopping by, LMPB.
Hilarious as always.
1. Is “I Love The Trees” the one on the left or the right?
2. Do any of these come with a return policy?
1. I’ll say the right. (Only because I’m pretty sure the one on the left is Tori Spelling.)
2. Good question! I’m guessing the answer is no, though they may offer an exchange with receipt.
I just found your blog: love it! Following : )
Thanks Cakes and Shakes. ps. I love how your name incorporates two of my favorite things, like ever.
