Perhaps you should read the post before commenting?

Surely NOT just because it is ridiculously expensive. But, I must remind myself, as my wife is want to do, "It is Ruuuuuusia!" John, (aka Ivan deGulag) Alec L,

I would say, however, that this mentality is heavier on the роскошь than the art. Even though the "New Russians" movement is technically over, the fetish for status symbols and flaunted wealth certainly isn't. A good indicator is the popularity of the ridiculously expensive and illegal iPhone. Or the ubiquitous Hummer limos here in Petersburg.

Let me offer this about Vogue. It is one of many places where Men worship Women and their innate beauty, and Women worship the beautiful things, (shoes, clothing, etc.) we men make for them. Grammar lesson: "artistical" is not a normal proper construction in English, except in a sarcastic or intentionally humorous context. Artistic Duo would be a better construction for that thought. Still, keep up the good work!! - John Josefina,

I miss 'normal' SU's 80s. Back then "artists" were doing serious jail time for "art" like that, Yes thats where they belong. Yeah Josefina, what can I say! I miss ‘normal’ SU’s 80s.
