Would You Date a Bald Chick?

You probably already heard about the lovely Rita Kamel who shaved her head either from her blog or from the many Retweets she got on twitter! It’s the hot topic of the moment which led many of us to ask, why? Yes. Why would a pretty Lebanese girl simply decide to shave her head and go bald just like that. But you see this didn’t just happen out out of the blue, Rita planned it out to the very last detail, like one would do for a trip, getting her family on board, her boyfriend ( who happens to be bald too!) and even her co-workers. Rita even got a wig custom-made to wear to work.

Luckily for us Rita eloquently walks us through the many reasons she went through with it. Here is what she had to say when it was over:

To tell you the truth, I didn’t care what people would say nor how they would look at me. I was out just being myself. All I can say is that I have never felt more comfortable and confident in my entire life. I  have never felt sexier or more attractive. Courage? Guts? “Balls”? I really don’t know. My heart did not race during the shave and I was smiling all the time.”

Her  friend also gives us an insight of the different feelings she experienced in “ A Bold Move.“  Here are some of the reasons why Rita went through with it explains Mireille:

1 - Breaking the chemotherapy taboo

2- Breaking the conventional beauty standards

3 – Raise awareness and funds for cancer

Rita’s move really got me thinking, she went somewhere many of us wouldn’t dare to go. Is it because we associate our hair with being feminine or is it because we live in a society that just wouldn’t understand let alone accept a bald by-choice woman .And how genius is it that Rita is doing her part in breaking these barriers.

Most importantly Rita’s boyfriend who  supported her all the way and is seen in the below pic kissing her head ( sigh.) So ask yourselves this: If you had a boyfriend, would he still love you without your long locks? Would he still find you sexy, hot, irresistible?  Better yet, would a guy especially a Lebanese one, date a bald girl? ( Thanks Shanty and Rita)  Bisoux

Sly Yet Genuis Dating Tips

I read somewhere that dating is all about competition, and how naturally we’re inclined to want something that is unattainable which led me to my latest dating tip.

  1. Send yourself some flowers with a fake card that says something like ” your always on my mind.” Make sure you leave him in a room alone with the flowers so that he can catch a glimpse of them. This way he knows how lucky he is to be with you.  If he asks who they’re from just say  ” oh some guy I met during a work meeting.” This will keep him on his toes!  Bisoux  

    You'll keep him guessing!

    Warning: The above tip only works at the very first stage, or else he could accuse you of cheating.

The Top 8 Items In A Typical Lebanese Woman’s Wardrobe

1) Skin-Tight Skinny Jeans, most of us would develop breathing problems in them and their strong enough to give the skinniest of girls love handles. Must be embedded with jewels on the back-pockets.

2) Stripper boots, (must reach knee length and be scary-pointy, preferred in shiny black pleather or beige leather) they can be worn absolutely anywhere, shopping, doctor’s appointment, business meetings, parent-teacher meetings and even jogging. ( won’t leave house without matching Bag and Belt)

3) The Bag- Louis Vuitton is most preferred but also accepting Burberry, Fendi and Gucci. Fake or real will do for the main purpose: ATTENTION SEEKING. Usually held up high close to the head or neck.

4) The gym attire- whether she’s in her early twenties, late 40’s or mid-60’s she WILL get her booty marked with a pair of Juicy Couture’s.

5) Sun-glasses- the brand must be labeled in BOLD print on the forefront of these Ginormous shades, Dior or Roberto Cavalli, the people need to know what she has on. Bling is a MUST.

6) Lenses- blue, green, yellow, turquoise, hazel, khaki, you name it. It doesn’t matter that they’re about to pop out of her head, SHE’S WEARING THEM TO THE BEACH!!!

7) The clubbing top- when she goes clubbing, she HAS to dress the part. Black is very popular and tiger print is an all-time favorite, it gives her that S&M dominatrix look. Again she will leave nothing to the imagination, cleavage is critical, how else will she save so much on drinks?

8) The Stockings AKA Collant- she knows she looks like a street-walker, but isn’t that the point? They’re enough to stop any man dead in his tracks. Her kid may tug at them all day and cause some rips, but that just adds to the effect.
