This has been buzzing for awhile but the details are not clear. According to AnNahar a  woman named Jenivieve was attacked by an unidentified armed man while waiting in her car parked at Nahr Il Mot next to CityMall on Sunday. The poor woman was stabbed in her breast four times and thrown on the side of the road.  She was taken to the hospital. Apparently this only happened at 10:00 pm and she was driving a Yarris. That sicko stole her car and fled the scene. Frankly I’m starting worry about the security situation we’re facing in Lebanon. Another story broke out today about a female shopkeeper working in a jewelry store North of Saida was shot to death in the head by a gang of robbers! What are the safety procedures being taken to prevent such criminal acts and are our security forces failing us because frankly I’m not feeling so safe anymore!  Stay Safe Everyone. Bisoux

My girl thought she found the man of her dreams, until he announces  a month later that he really likes her but he still wants to have his ” freedom.”  Freedom to see other people.  Not being your typical Lebanese girl my girl agrees to this openness IF AND ONLY IF she too can enjoy the perks of having the comfort of being with someone while enjoying open- access to the buffet. Fair enough. No?  And well what do you know… he says ” NO WAY.”

She dropped him in a heartbeat. Sure this guy’s a retard but you’ll be surprised by  how many guys have the nerve to be so vocal about the double standards they think they can practice in relationships.  His justification  ” I’m a guy, it’s different.”  Now how many times have we heard this one before?  I’ve heard the biological make-up excuse which frankly disgusts me, you know the one they use to explain why physically it’s ok for guys to see other women, but with a woman you’ll always ” know” where she’s been.

I’ve heard the social excuse  “what would people say, if they knew the girl I was seeing was seeing other guys?” I’m sure many of you can name the other lame excuses that comes with such an explanation.

So, why is it socially unacceptable for girls to “see” more than one man, but guys can brag about dating multiple girls? And how did we not shoot this hypocrisy down from day-one? Bisoux

What do you mean you want an "open relationship too?"

I was invited to dinner last night and I must tell you, the tablecloths was identical to whatever Sandra has on!

The always daring Penelope.. Simply Stunning

I see what she was trying to go for.. but NO... it doesn't work.. Major Dissapointment from the Queen of Fashion

OMG! Stop inviting her to these events... She looks like she bought this from Toys 'R' US !

Even you Charlize? The textile?.. the tail? and the... flower boobs?? Who allowed her leave the house like this?

Any other color and Demi could have butchered this look.. but it really works for her!

It's not her fault, really. Blame it on the person who invited her to The Oscars!

How very Disney of you Miley, but I am strangely liking it! JLo should take some tips from you if she insists on dressing up like you

She looks like she may be carrying triplets. It looks like what you would see in the toilet after drinking too much

Honestly? Is this guy in highschool or something? Because we assume that since he dated Jessica then he probably you know, did the dirty deed with her. But did he really have to come out and tell Playboy all about it? How  very immature and downright ungentleman-ish of him.

Here is what this douchebag had to say to PlayBoy:

“Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say,” Mayer gushes. “It was like napalm, sexual napalm. Did you ever say, ‘I want to quit my life and just f*****’ snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to f*** you, I would start selling all my s*** just to keep f****** you”

And Jessica’s reaction to Oprah:

“I’m not angry, I’m not angry. I’m — well, I’m a little bit angry … I’m a little bit angry. Um — well, I don’t want people to know how I am in bed. I guess it could have been a lot worse.”

Will there be no end to this woman’s assaults. Yet again we hear another story about Ms. Campbell either throwing a phone, beating, slapping or in this case whacking her driver’s head on the steering wheel. Get this crazy B***& behind bars before she seriously hurts someone! She still has a rockin bod though. Bisoux

We all have that one friend in that sort of relationship- she wants to take it to the next step he doesn’t. They’ve been together for years,of course he won’t just leave her , he simply doesn’t have the balls to because the fact is he DOES like her but he also likes himself more and dealing with the consequences of a break up or living in the fear that one day he may realize he did a big mistake- is just too risky for him.

So what does he do? He drags it on. He doesn’t promise her anything- but he does throw her some false hope every now and then and she’s more than willing to take it and run with it.

I dunno if it’s the masochist inside her or the optimist, but she just won’t leave him, she will threaten to leave him, a lot, but he knows she’s bluffing- she’s done it way too many times and she always comes back to him, unconditionally. She figures, well he’s been with me for years- it’s a good sign.

So what do you think? Will her persistence pay- off or is she beating a dead horse? Do share… Bisoux

The Bar

I decided to try something new this weekend and hit up Jounieh instead- apparently the bar scene has been happening there for awhile there, walked through the old souk and found this crowded spot called Lush- great music and good crowd. Bisoux

I joined Facebook, to connect, share pics and events with my current friends, meaning friends I actually hang out with, who I’ve spoken to in the last couple of months, friends who I like.

I DIDN’T join Facebook to connect with that girl in 2^nd grade who I barely said two words to in my life, because I still have nothing to say to her. So just knowing that this person has access or is REQUESTING access to view my profile frankly bothers me.

Or what about the colleague that just started working at your office a week ago and now wants to be your Facebook friend, or better yet that contractor you met with ONLY ONCE  and that you met HALF AN HOUR AGO and sent you a request. The idea of that person going home and remembering to search for my name on Facebook, freaks me out!

The funny thing is some of these people want to be your friend, but it’s not like they EVEN WANNA TALK TO YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.  It dawned on me this morning that I haven’t EVER spoken to friends who’ve added me for years now. You know why? Because these people are simply just curious to know what ended up happening to you and like to creepily scan through your photos for their own entertainment ( stalker-ish) purposes.  Don’t tell me to limit my profile; my friend’s list on Facebook just went from 465 to 73.

I have a wedding this weekend and I’m dreading it. Not because I have to spend the entire day getting my face painted and my hair crusted with hairspray ( ugghh)  But because of the obvious fact that weddings in Lebanon now resemble, a circus. Allow me to elaborate  but one post just won’t do it.

Let’s begin with the Zaffeh- how is pretending to be Cleopatra carried around on what seems to be a stretcher, by a bunch of clowns in colored nylon suits even tempting? And if your going for the “cool” jazzy zaffeh, it’s not cool. It’s embarrassing! A wedding is NOT a show; brides do not need to greet their guests with a welcome dance, why do they even have to make a freakin entrance? Whyyyyyyy? We all know who’s getting married; we are not voting for anyone, it’s not a contest, why do brides feel the need to parade around  their terrified new husbands? I don’t get it is it like “look I found Mr. Right and he can do a little dance for everyone.”

It’s also become a competition here, it’s the talk of the town,“ OH MY GOD, Ghada’s wedding cost $192282892982200 , my man better throw me something more lavish.” Poor Ghada, what they don’t know is that  her new hubby and her may no longer be able to afford the ishtirak ( generator fees)  after the fiasco is over but you know what … at least she got married in Biel ;p Bisoux

Not much of a difference from where I'm sitting
