Russian Student Covers Her Car in One Million Swarovski Crystals

Привет! (Privet!) = Hi in Russian...a tip off to today's topic. How're you doing? I'm glad you could click by. Fill your mug and grab a virtual treat while I tell you about someone with more money than...well, you know.

21-year-old Daria Radionova has been attracting a lot of attention on the streets of London with her swanky, crystal-encrusted car. The Russian student apparently wasn’t content with her Mercedes CLS 350; she wanted something more ‘unique and special’. So she spent £20,000 (a little over $30,000) to coat the luxury vehicle in a million Swarovski crystals.

The sparkly car is currently parked outside the Levin Hotel in Knightsbridge, in West London. The neighborhood is well-known for rich Arab kids speeding around in their garish supercars during the summer. Among the well known cars in the area are a gold Range Rover, and an assortment of Rolls Royces, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis. Daria had to do something different if she wanted her car to stand out, so she chose to cover every last inch of it with crystals, including the door handles.

I hope she has insurance, a 24-hour security guard, alarm systems, et al. I'd even recommend a force-field if she can figure out how to set it up - or more likely, pay someone to do it, eh! Although Knightsbridge is a respectable area, once the word gets out, the undesirables may come looking.

Me? I'll stick with my eight year old Nissan...until we win the lottery, that is. Then watch out!

See ya, eh!
