Another post dedicated to twins. To the twins, the Gorban twins, Irina and Ksenia. Long time favorites and known to be lookalikes. No wonder, they share many features. Might be an euphemism. Sweet, sweet euphemism. Obvious. Too obvious ? Not sure. All depends on how you look at them. Imagine you're changing your point of view for a couple of minutes. Read this from left to right then from right to left. The same letters won't look the same any longer. Won't sound the same, actually. It's exactly our feeling towards the Gorbans. They don't "sound" the same. This funny idea came while reading the french word nombril in the newspaper. Which you would translate by navel. Or belly button. Almost the same. Almost. There is a different mood behind each of them. A different way to look at the navel... or the belly button. C'est selon. One seems cuter. Does it sound cuter ? It depends once again, depends on how you write it, how you pronounce it. Also on the other words around. Same for the Gorbans. Sounds messy ? Probably. Not obviously, though. Up to you. Who's the navel and who's the belly button ? Can't even tell. One thing is sure, both have editorials out. Irina was in Nylon, Ksenia is in Spanish Glamour. Crimson and clover. Over and over. And over again. Endless story for complicated minds. Polas are easier to get. Luckily.
