    Russian ex-spy Anna Chapman disarms the fashion runway

    Anna Chapman, 30, the infamous Russian ex-spy deported from the U.S., sure has a sense of humor: On June 8, the foreign beauty was spotted strutting on a Turkish catwalk, escorted by two men dressed as secret agents.

    Clad in a stunning red-and-black print gown at the Dosso Dossi show, the redheaded celebrity looked quite the James Bond character. Her payment? The clothing line's owner, Hikmet Eraslan, said he donated to Chapman's charity foundation for children with poor eyesight.

    High profile: Russian ex-spy Anna Chapman, seen here on June 8, also walked the runway during Moscow Fashion Week.

    Chapman certainly hasn't stayed undercover since being deported in 2010 along with 9 other agents. She's been enjoying her celebrity status — modeling, hosting a weekly TV show in Russia, editing a business magazine, posing in lingerie for Maxim magazine (naturally), and even dedicating her time to a youth charity organization.

    Surveillance videos released by the FBI feature undercover Russian spies, like Anna Chapman, being investigated before being deported back to Russia. NBC's Michelle Kosinski reports.

    A scene from "Nosferatu," a film from F.W. Murnaus's 1922 silent classic. The German film was the first adaptation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula," but because it was unauthorized, the characters names were changed.

    I saw this photo from a fashion show in Dubai today and it immediately reminded me of F.W. Murnaus 1922 silent classic film "Nosferatu." Is Halloween in the air? See more photos of vampires on the big screen.
