It is the fourth edition of the award and every year it attracts the increasing attention among Russian media persons, representatives of mass media and famous commercial brands. The name of the award has been chosen purposefully: the organizers used words from Ellochka Lyudoyedka's lexicon, the heroine of the comic novel by Ilf and Petrov Twelve Chairs which sense of existence consisted in dresses and high life. This comic name is urged to soften boundless love of the Russian beau monde to all bright and brilliant; after all there is nothing better than healthy self-irony and an adequate self-assessment.
