Style is primarily not about clothes. Once you have something to tell people about yourself you are hip.
The manner and tools you use while speaking are not at all important. Some people tear off toilet paper in their own unique way, but wear usual jeans, some people wear Balmain jackets and they don’t give a damn to the paper. If you are dressed stylishly that may make people take your pictures for a blog on street style. That may also stand for the fact you are top-notch, though it may not as well.

Some people like to drink vodka, some — whisky and for some newly drawn milk is the favourite. The same about the cloths: some people get crazy about Paris style, others — about London one, and some do wear chiffon blouses with dahlia. And I guess when people say that they dress better in London than in Moscow they do the same thing as just to assume that whisky is more tasty than vodka. I for one think that whisky smells like bog.

Once one female friend of mine put on fuchsia coloured tights and started off to work by the tube. After having looked at the fuchsia accessory one of the aunties in there burst out with the following replica: “I wonder how many more freaks we have in Moscow nowadays!”. The fact that your legs look more like sausages wearing this kind of tights does not mean that others are welcome to gobble just like you. You’d better stop first.

All people are brands. “Look at Vasja, he is a unique scumbag. Well, this is Masha, she’s a proper gold-digger. George Bush is obviously a freak — he can’t distinguish between deflation and inflation”. How do you know, Bush may write sonnets in amphibrach instead of going to bed. Masha preserves her innocence for a white-horsed prince. Well, nobody seems to be concerned about it, including Masha as well. Hey, what are you waiting for, for what kind of prince, if you are wearing a mini-skirt?

“Dom-2” is not desirable to be banned. I cross my heart that some primary school teacher in Penza turns on her TV every other evening and each time she is excited about the fact that she is so high-toned and cultured individuality comparing to all these freaks. It gets you so high to feel that you are better than others. Well, you don’t feel like that when you shift to “Culture” channel, don’t you? It obviously makes you underestimate yourself.

«Man doesn’t live by bread alone…, — the phrase addressed to those fond of buying bread in “Volkonsky”. - When did you last address Pushkin’s pieces, reread the scene of Bazarov’s death, worry about Pier Bezuhov?” I agree that it’s not bread alone that man lives by but neither it is Lev Tolstoy. “…by every word proceeding from God’s mouth”, - it seems that there’s no any mentioning of Tolstoy in the Bible.

USSR are more alive that anything else. Earlier it was like: “I haven’t read Pasternak but I do condemn”, now we have something like: “I am not a lawyer but Hodorkovsky is to be sent to jail.” Thanks God they’ve started reading Pasternak.

USSR produced the most lasting radio sets while other countries made the smallest ones. I, for one, counter a radio set to be more important that Gagarin’s shot. I agree that Gagarin is a cool guy, a hero and cosmic exploration is a good thing to do too. But his 108 minutes of being there resulted into the fact that now I have to live with this set for the rest of my life. So my conclusion is: fuck this cosmos.
