Now That’s a Chair!

Times may be tough for regular Joes like you and me, but the Russian fat cats are partyin’ like it’s 1999 in Moscow’s annual Millionaire Fair. The Russian capital is home to 60,000 millionaires and 30 billionaires (in fact, it has more rich people than any other cities on Earth) – and conspicuous consumption seems to be their mantra.

REUTERS has an interesting photo gallery of this year’s Millionaire Fair (which is filled with beautiful young women looking bored!). This one above is a chair fit for fat cats or super villains, designed by Raw Design: Link – via Oddly Enough

“…young women looking bored.”

I used to get invited to fancy automobile events. The strangest was when Rolls Royce was presenting their new convertible. While then men were checking out the cars, the women were checking out each other. Scoping the competition. I mentioned that to the sales manager. He told me that security was there mostly to keep out young women who wanted to meet men who could afford a Rolls.

That looks like a set piece for a movie where there is a tyrannical earth emperor and that is his throne. Just have a few tigers lounging around and it could work.

Aside from being ridiculous, that chair looks uncomfortable.

It all seems so….gaudy. It’s like they have no sense style or decorum. I’m glad I’m not one of them.

Sorry I was referring to the Reuters photo set.

That chair has to be in the next Austin Powers movie…if there is another one someday.
