FTA:

"The party was organized by influencer Anastasia Ivleeva who instructed her guests to dress to the theme of "nude illusion."

Her guests, paying around $11,000 a ticket, did so with gusto, wearing skin-toned mesh and lace, with Ivleeva herself wearing a $250,000 diamond body chain, The Washington Post reported.

One rapper, named Vacio, showed up in just shoes and a strategically-placed sock, The Post reported."

Or as Hollywood calls it... "Thursday".

"From The Article."

Yeah, I didn't know either and had to look it up.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers did the sock thing while playing on stage in front of an audience back in the early '90s.

They played Woodstock with less than a sock.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Multiple Russian influencers are issuing groveling apologies and losing work as outrage at the "almost naked" party on December 20 continues unabated.

Now, amid growing outrage, Ivleeva faces a class-action lawsuit filed December 26, in which plaintiffs are demanding she pay $11 million to a veterans' charity, per the independent Russian outlet Meduza.

Other attendees lost well-paid work, finding themselves dropped by brands they promote and having TV specials and concerts canceled, Meduza reported.

Pro-censorship activist Ekaterina Mizulina said the party was "a shot in the foot to the entire policy of our state," and called for a government-level boycott of the celebrities involved, The Washington Post reported.

One of Russia's top TV propagandists, commentator Vladimir Solovyov, called the partygoers "beasts" and "scum," The Washington Post reported.

It also suggests that the economic privations and grind of military service involved in the invasion of Ukraine are much closer to mind for the Russian public than Putin had first hoped.


The original article contains 469 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 66%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Next time, just send an invite to Putin and his cronies?

That thumbnail picture looks pretty tame considering the headline.

How to Russians handle the gym shower?

lmao this kind of degeneracy happens everywhere, it's just usually not policed unless the government wants to make a statement

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Always confused why people call people having fun going out of their comfort zone - not harming anyone - "degenerate". Is it just because it's something you wouldn't do? Is it because it's so far out of your comfort zone?
