You're blocking the mirror, drossy girl: We Russian women love to be beautiful ("Soviet Block Party," Marya Summers, June 21). The heels, the dresses — it's all about glamour, fun, and entertainment. The difference between Russians and Americans (both women and men) is that Russian people do things while Americans prefer to watch for entertainment. So to watch or to be watched... that's the difference. My opinion: Being watched is much better.

Do it for yourself, glitz girl: I think the biggest difference between the author and the Russian girls here in the United States is that Marya obviously does what she wants and the Russian girls do only what they think men expect them to do.
