A kind visitor to our guestbook left a link to some photos of Helen at a party at the British Embassy in Moscow. See the photos here.

Wish I could've been inside Moscow's British Embassy on that date if only to see Helen sleekly attired, and with a rumka of Stolichnaya in one hand and a wafer laden with fine-grade Beluga caviar in the other.
I've heard somewhere or another that Helen's of Russian descent--or at least that her father was a onetime Russian military officer. If true--or even if untrue--I'd like to offer a bit of advice here to Helen and her countless millions of fans worldwide:
I was privileged to receive a very gracious e-mail this past week from former British Ambassador to Moscow (1988-92), the honorable Sir Rodric Braithwaite. Braithwaite, a confidante to former Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev and other key figures within Russian leadership during the period of "Perestroika," has recently produced perhaps the finest book I've read over the course of the past fifty years on the subject of the World War II battle for Russia's capital city, entitled "Moscow 1941: A City And Its People At War" (Knopf Publishing 2006). For those of you who enjoy history, Sir Rodric's book is highly recommended by this historian: Indeed the book's so beautifully written and professionally researched that I wish that I had been the one to produce it.
With that said, here's wishing all the very best to Helen, her website moderators, her millions of understandably loyal fans, the staff at Moscow's British Embassy, and Sir Rodric Braithwaite for his particularly kind e-mail and stupendous book.
