Russian term or phrase: лаффки- чмаффки- обнимаффки
- Куку, я тя лю !)
- О, прет! И я тя тож !!
Лаффки- чмаффки- обнимаффки

Простите, я знаю, что по правилам нужно one term at a time. Но тут особо не разделишь ничего! В общем, это одно из толкований (предположительно, детских. В данном случае мне так не кажется, но вроде вся работа именно о детском творчестве) какого-то арт-объекта. Фото объекта нет.((

- love you
- cool, i love you too
all loved up - that's me and you

you were warned - i don't do poetry!

Asker: Wow, why on Earth you DON"T do poetry? =) You're good! I have no clue what all those descriptions have to do with art. The only explanation can be that it's not about classical, but contemporary art. There are quite a few weird descriptions there, but I just felt this one was a bit too much for me...
