Fugly or Fabulous? Workin' It in 1890s Russia

Look at these guys rocking their 1890s military uniforms.  I suppose the "Blue Steel" hadn't been invented yet?  Just look at this dude.  It takes a certain kind of self-confidence to pull off a huge freakin' dragon on your helmet.  Then again, maybe that was a chick magnet back in those days.  "Wear a dragon on your helmet, man.  Girls love dragons on helmets."
