Flyest, I don't know if you're talking to anyone in particular, but since I'm one of those people who thinks she looks good there, I'll comment.
I don't think anyone was attacking you (at least I wasn't). I so agree with you with the tacky way Russian (and Ukrainian unfortunately) women like to dress, and I'm overgeneralizing here I know, but I was there recently and a lot of women could really benefit to learn the meaning of "understated". With that said, I don't see Snejana looking tacky at all. Bling doesn't always look tacky and I think there, Snej is able to pull it off without looking so. I think because her clothes is otherwise so neutral (blacks/grays) the jewelery doesn't really make it over the top or anything.
Just my opinion.
