Tip #5 Give him a flower!
Ok it just dawned on me thanks to Joelle’s comment, I vaguely remember hearing something about MP Nayla Tueni actually proposing to her husband on air by sending him flowers but I just can’t seem to find any photographic evidence. I mean what better than a flower to show him you like him? It can do most of the talking for you. I know, I know I’m getting really good at this ;P Ladies , if your going out tonight, give this a shot, let’s see if this works! Bisoux

Gisele tells a Brazilian magazine “I gave birth in the bathtub” She will be featured in a photo shoot, just six weeks after giving birth. I have a feeling she’s going to look better post-baby than most of us who had never even had babies! Oh well, at least I know what a burger tastes like

This article posted in USA TODAY describes Beirut as the place where the “city’s young and beautiful are bellying up to the hottest night spot, the bohemian Gemmayzeh neighborhood. Model-chic Beiruti women, sporting skinny pants, stiletto boots and cascading tresses, cluster in groups or with dates inside the hip bars, pubs and restaurants that line this milder Middle East version Bourbon Street.”
It goes on to describe it as ” Sex and The City Meets South Beach.”
“Beirut is like a Lebanese Babylon, where Arabs can dance on tabletops, swim in bikinis and kiss their girlfriends in public,” says British journalist Warren Singh-Bartlett, a 12-year resident. In summer, the famous beach clubs hold their own against the playgrounds of Greece and Spain.”
I love how every journalist that writes about Beirut nowadays makes this discovery and starts comparing us to Lebanese Babylon or where otherwise strict Arabs come to release. Don’t get me wrong it’s a good article , but get over it people, this place is happening, its been happening for awhile so get over your discovery and lets party! Bisoux

He hasn’t looked good in ages with that nasty goatee of his and she, well, she is one of the most beautiful women in the world but seems to still think she needs to starve herself. Somehow they’ve managed to become the world’s most intriguing couple, everyone wants to know all their dirty little secrets, including me! So did they or didn’t they break up? That question’s been circulating around gossip rags all week. I have a small confession: I secretly want him to leave her and go back to Jen. Of course Jen shouldn’t take him back. You get the picture. Bisoux

Nutella Cake and Iced Capp
I went out with a colleague of mine who is a chocolate connoisseur after work last night. We had this To-Die-For Nutella cake at Segafredo ( Gemmayze). Soooo goood. You know what this means: twenty extra minutes on the treadmill tonight. Totally worth it. Bisoux

What’s interesting about this picture, is Arab Politicians rarely ever show any signs of public affection while out with their spouses let alone on an official trip. Its pretty sweet that they’re holding hands!! I’d give Madame Hariri a 6/10 for her outfit she could’ve def done better, but she sure is rocking some serious Bling on that watch. Bisoux

Tip #4: Give him your camera and ask him to take a pic of you and your friend.
This works for both girls and guys and its GENIUS ( if I must say so myself.) It’s one of the best conversation starters by far. He’ll take the pic and you’ll both look into your camera to discuss it et voila… your conversating!
I did it in broad daylight too! My friend and I met up at Indigo in Le Grey this new hotel in downtown Beirut for our lunch breaks and there was quite the stunner sitting by us. Luckily I had my camera on me! He took two pics of us and when I saw it I went ” oh no I’m so not photogenic” and he was like ” what are you taking about your very pretty.” I asked him to join us and he did, with his friend.
Thank me later for this one… I know you will

Why haven’t some of us evolved enough in Lebanon, to understand that wearing fur is only encouraging a cruel cruel practice that we should be condemning! I find it so ignorant when I see one of those Taunts walking into a restaurant or wherever so proud of themselves. “o00hh look at me I’m wearing a dead bear on my back, he was just skinned alive for me.. no biggie really.”
Or has a shopkeeper ever told you so proudly ” hayda jilid asly.” And they get shocked when they see how turned off I am. I can’t touch that stuff!! If only these people, realize that this ain’t no fashion statement, this is barbaric and backwards, nothing classy about wearing a dead animal. Lets Evolve. Bisoux
