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

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.
