In Britain, Galina Rusanova is known as a respected artist, actress and author who rubs elbows with the rich and famous at London parties and charity events.  She would appear to be a real upscale, "society" type.  Last month, however, Ms. Rusanova took a trip to Los Angeles to meet some dude she met over the internet.  I'm guessing that the encounter didn't go so well...

On the flight back to London, the lovely and talented Galina went a little...  let's say...  'bonkers'.  Apparently, about three hours into the flight, Galina became a little agitated.  After mixing wine with prescription drugs, Ms. Rusanova began moving about the cabin, bothering other passengers and mumbling incoherently.  It was at this point, the Russian-born artist decided to drink a whole bottle of hand soap from the airplane restroom.  When the flight attendants tried to calm her, Galina attacked them and, at one point, she is alleged to have "dropped to the floor and started snapping like a dog...".  She even tried to bite a flight attendant.

Unfortunately, the pilots decided to end the episode early by diverting the flight to Bangor, Maine where the FBI arrested her.  (Apparently, the FBI has no sense of humor when it comes to drunk chicks, hand soap and airplanes!)

Wow.  That's one sloppy drunk...

You don't see over-the-top, extreme wino behavior like this very often.  In fact, in my thirty-something years of excess wine consumption, I don't ever remember barking like a dog and biting a flight attendant.  And it's been years  months  weeks since I've seen WinoBob drink a full bottle of hand soap.  It just doesn't happen very often.  But when it does, we all get to enjoy the story of a new Wino of the Week!
