No mirrors in the gym, please

Watching the Gymnastics World Championships in Melbourne, my lovely life noticed that one of the gymnasts was named "Anastasia Lukin". Harmless, right? Well, it appears that a Russian shortening for Anastacia, one that the commentator had a penchant for, is "Nastya".

Poor old Nastya Lukin. "Nastya Lukin" than who, I wonder?

Life is Beautiful
I'm glad you've got a nice thing going on there. I reckon she's Nastya Lukin than your beautiful WIFE...

I thought you said life on purpose --> you know as in "my wife is my life" etc. and I attributed some beautiful romantic characteristics to you... aah well.
