Russian Brides
In the past, Russian women’s photos were actually displayed in catalogs with price tags, which is how the term “mail order bride” originated. Fortunately today, there are online services, such as HotRussianBrides.com, which offer the communication tools necessary for open-minded bachelors to pursue friendship, romance, and yes, possibly even marriage with women overseas. Since SNL’s premise is to basically spoof and mock everything for a laugh, of course their portrayal of the Russian bride stereotype is no different.
This is what was thought close to a decade ago:
There may still be organizations out there that offer Russian brides for sale, but the successful and legal ones simply provide men with an online dating opportunity to talk and meet with Russian women. Since the industry has the term “mail order” attached to it, the stigma persists that these women are bought and sold, but this is not true. The legitimate organizations charge fees for services such as helping people meet, exchanging emails, phone calls, gifts, and setting up meetings. The courting and relationship building is still controlled by the gentlemen and ladies involved.
This is what we are discovering today: Russia took an idea and used sex, drugs and rock and roll over the internet, so to speak. They appealed to the idea that lonely men will glom onto pretty women from overseas and they used that to hijack information on the dupe and the USA's computer networking systems. (I am not a techie, I know I am being simplistic here)
And then there are Slovinian brides here illegally. It turns out she is on an "Einstein pass" as far as why she is legally in this country. This is fraud, because she was a model. The only people that are afforded this Einstein exception are people who have an extraordinary gift, such as an exceptional TALENT to let one pass unencumbered, into the USA. Melania has no such exceptional talents. She was an OKAY Model in Europe. She posed nude in mags too. She was hardly an EXCEPTIONAL TALENT, even if Models were considered in that category.
They were more for scientists, architects, entrepreneurs that were thriving, etc. NOT models. Not Melania. Some palms were greased and maybe that is why she puts up with the idiot. That, and a very hefty paycheck. We know he likes to pay off women to shut up.
If she wears hats like this, it is hard for him to reach her.
I don't believe I've ever used the world cute to describe an ad anywhere. If anything they, along with gifs, are annoying and data consuming, thus adblocker.
