In honour of Marat's setting sail for horizons new, I hereby launch this thread!

11 June 2009, Naberezhnye Chelny, Tatarstan.



May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.


Traditional Gaelic blessing

Oh dear - I was waiting for this!
I wouldn't read too much into these pics, girls - look at the rest of the pics from the night, look who else was there, and remember that NAsty has been working long and hard to ingratiate herself with Dinara and Dinara's circle of Moscow friends for months - it was almost inevitable she would not let an opportunity to get herself photographed with Marat again pass by!

In the context of a huge party I would not conclude that this makes the idea that they are a 'couple' any more real than it was before her sudden appearance as Dinara's "new best friend" at the Kremlin Cup party - calculated to get her back in the news as "marats bride' - and to boost her profile having been virtually invisible for the last year and a half - and just in time for the release of a new song by the girly troupe (I just can't think of them as 'musicians' - or a 'band'.. even 'singers' is a stretch...) how transparent can you BE, I ask you - but then subtlety was never NAstya's forte... lets wait to see how long it is before she starts blabbing to the yellow press again - she probably feels she needs to do some more groundwork first - be seen with him a few more times instead of just his sister - but she won't be able to keep her mouth shut completely.... a leopard can't change it's spots(not even if they paint themselves all over and pretend they are a kitten...)

Looking at these pics, if they were together 'romantically' (I use that word carefully), then surely the body language would be intimate ? compare the pics from the Kremlin Cup party 2 years ago(if you can stand looking at that paisley print dress and ugg boots again...) with these - they look like just like all the other photos of Marat in nightclubs with someone or other - just another 'fan-poto' in terms of the body language.

Marat has said more than once that he always remains amicable with his ex girlfriends (although I can think of one notable exception, the one he refuses to even think about) and for all we know, far from arriving (or leaving) together - Marat looks like he just stopped by on his way somewhere else - Its so totally Marat - going to what was always going to a 'fancy-dress' party on the Saturday of halloween ( I assume it was 'fancy-dress - with Nasty you can't always tell...Meoowww hSssssssss !!) dressed like...well - yeah, a bit of a granddad - but he was there to stand in the semi-darkness by the bar and look, not touch ...

Of course NAstya will be pulling out ALL the stops to capitalize on her connections to the Safin family whatever they are - or am I being too harsh and cynical? - but we have seen it all before and I will be GOBSMACKED if this lasts any longer than previously - ie: it will all die down in a couple of months ..... BUT, if he HAS decided to re-visit and old story (which I find almost impossible to believe, frankly,) then we should all just wish him happiness in his choice, right?

...sorry monkeytattoo - I was composing my above edict and had a problem posting then I edited - I agree with your more succinct summary posted above!
....I have to conclude.....the pneumatic blonde really is quite revolting....surely NOT, marat...:eek:
However, remember this - Mama Rausa will be watching all this very closely from the wings - her daughter AND her son.....and miss french maid will be matchsticks before she's knows it - it's not so much a question of how - but WHEN....:cool:

Hey, people, what is it actually that you have against Osipova??!

OK, so you don't like her physical appearance. I have seen countless posts here about how you find her tacky, tasteless, etc., etc....in my opinion, it is totally un-elegant to mock somebody's looks. And, off the record, I personally find her pretty and totally understand why a man could find her attractive. Not to mention the fact that...pretty or not pretty, tacky or not tacky, plastic or not plastic...isn't she the only one around here who actually had a thing with him??? All other Marat Safin former lovers, flings or one-night-stands lurking in here are politely required to out themselves).

Second, you make such a big deal about how she may carefully manipulate her way back with Safin via his sister, his father's army comrades or maybe his cleaning lady!!! AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO KNOW?! Maybe she still has feelings for him, after all I presume none of us here could object to a woman's refusing to let him go? What are we all mainly doing here other than enjoyin a litte Safin centered escapism?! Please, just don't give me the "we're here to talk tennis!" b...t!

Finally, maybe she does it for publicity...here I would just like to say that each of us, in our jobs, do more or less un-pretty things just to keep the business running...and in this economy, could anyone really blame us? Then why blame her?

Summing up, I really do not understand all this fuss about this lady...if you don't like her for this or that reason, then stop talking about her!!

Not to mention that if she ever drops by and reads such things about herself, it could be really hurting for her … and that's just plain mean.

Hey, people, what is it actually that you have against Osipova??!


Well, all of the above - and probably another quite long list if I thought about it, since you asked - I'm not requiring you to agree with me - and I am not stating anything as fact - I merely observe what is presented in the public media for all to see and comment on - problem? not as far as I am concerned.

I don't think I have 'mocked' her 'physical' appearance - her dress sense and her taste - sure I do - in a city full of women where dressing like a hooker isalmost a uniform, somehow she always manages to look the commonest slapper of the lot - and that's actually quite an achievement....(and yes yes, I KNOW all about how different is the sensibility of eastern-european women when it comes to 'fashion' - lets face it, there are so few men relative to women in Russia that they all HAVE to conform to the teenage spank-fantasy stereotype if they are to stand ANY chance of getting a man - even a short, fat, old one...)that is MY opinion - of course you may think she is the epitome of elegance - go right ahead!

And, um, without being too un-elegant about it, since when was Marat "Mr exclusive" ? as for your assertion that
"each of us, in our jobs, do more or less un-pretty things just to keep the business running... " I beg to differ - I don't know what you do, but that not not how I do business - and lastly - if you don't see anything wrong with manipulating someones friends or family in order to gain a perceived advantage - then we clearly have very different ideas of 'right' and 'wrong'....

Wow, give it a sighting of Nastya and this forum immediately springs to life!
Before tempers start flaring, (and please don't shoot me for saying it) I just think we should just agreed to disagree :p
Some people dislike Natya (whether her appearance, her lifestyle, her dress sense, or whatever) others think she's not that bad. Fine! To each his/her own. Accept that and let it go.
Let's just enjoy the now more rare Marat sightings in all his splendour :D

p.s. I went to KC a couple of years ago and had the 'pleasure' of sitting 2 chairs away from Nastya :) In person and without make-up she does have a pretty face, so I can see why Marat is/was attracted to her.
On another note, and although I'm on an entire different level from Nastya, as a fan I did my share of 'crazy' stalking things just to get a sighting or a word with Marat and although I was never offensive or intrusive nor have I ever invaded his private space, I know some of my friends at times thought I was a bit too crazy :) It's all in the eye of the beholder.
If he and Dinara don't care and are still friends with Nastya, why should we care?

Dearest dear Monkeytatoo,

OMG :)))))))))))))))))))) the orphans :)))))) I also called him a bitch :)))))))))))))

I just can't belive you made such an extensive research of my "work" with MTF (that I must admit I found quite funny out of this
small antology that you put together, may my vanity be pardoned)

I'm half histericaly amused by the fact that you seem to simply not get a joke when you see it, half afraid by the virulence of your reply. Dear, I swear I am not Nastya Osipova!

Woman (you simply must be a woman, no sexist thing intended!), take it easy, relax, try to enjoy your time here, on MTF...you know marat would want you to :))))))

Or is this simply because of our previous quarrel (was it this summer?) when I tried to defend the (now apparently defunct) MahRaht agains you?

Whatever the answer to the question above, you must be kidding about such reactions...

^ It really is! Now if only he could bag the odd tourney now and again. ^^ Thanks for pics, Soozka :wavey:

For some reason, there's not been many pics of the Cayman event. The only one I found of Marat v Courier is squashed, so I'm hoping more will surface in the next week or so.

v Courier, 6 November 2010.
