Separated At Birth
Yup, these two are definitely sisters from another mister.
If Mona Abu Hamzeh who hosts a talk show on MTV Lebanon called Talk of the Town (Hadis el Balad) had a twin sister then it would be actress Cobie Smulders most known for her role as Robin Scherbatsky on How I Met Your Mother.
Freaky Freaky, but not half as scary as this eery resemblance between Lebanese icon Fairuz and international pop star…
IVY Feasts, For A Change
There’s nothing more I love than to sample new dishes in atypical settings. When I got invited to attend 2011’s Feast For Change last Wednesday hosted by the Syndicate of Owners Of Restaurants In Lebanon I was quick to accept. The feast was truly one fit for a king, situated in the charming gardens of Sursock Palace.
Close your eyes, picture some of the finest restaurants in Beirut, now envision them all in one place, offering you an unlimited amounts of their specialty dishes… all whilst you sip on some wine and enjoy the live entertainment… yup that’s the life my friends! A special shout out to all my fellow bloggers who were there as well, enjoyed your company.. from a distance 😉
Here are glimpses of some of my favorites for the night,

This disgrace of an Ad @stephanienour tweeted this morning calls for the re-invigoration of the Open Letter To Men I wrote back in December.

The Rising Trend Of Facebook R-rated Honeymoon Albums
Jack is undoubtedly one of the world’s sleaziest men. If a grease ball would manifest itself on earth, it would surely be him. Before his status on Facebook changed to “engaged” he was roaming around town hitting on anything and everything that could walk. I happened to come across him at a dinner. He literally hopped over, sat right next to me and tried to charm me with his intellect. He’s not ugly, he’s just unbearable. Take away, the cake-y hair gel, the ridiculous over-sized Ralph Lauren polo logo, the excessive chest hair, the gold chain around his neck (and matching bracelet) , the cowboysish shoes- (don’t even get me started on those shoes), then he may, JUST may, pass as a good looking guy.
He’s a hard worker, having landed a job at one of the top consulting firms in the world and trust me, he NEVER fails flaunt to it; his business card precedes any introduction. He called me “ ya hilweh” and said I would make a great addition to his team at work- after only two minutes of meeting me. This was a year ago, I somehow got suckered into adding him on Facebook, what’s worse, I actually chatted with him on Facebook chat once. Just once. What?? I was feeling vulnerable!
Anyways, it seems the man was on the lookout for Lebanon’s top airhead to make his wife. Actually, let me rephrase, he landed the Lebanese version of Catwoman! Why some men wanna make aspiring porn stars their wives is beyond me, but let me get to the point.
She practically wore a negligee to the wedding, he, a silver suit. They looked absurd, like a low budget scene from a cheesy 80’s video. There are pictures of him lifting her up in the air whilst guzzling into her cleavage during the wedding. A sight for sore eyes.
And now the honeymoon pictures are up and I can’t tell you how giddy I was when I saw them on my Facebook homepage. I wasn’t however expecting the R-rated factor. Yup, really raunchy pictures of the both of them, almost naked in Hot tubs on some magnificently exotic island groping each other. Even worse, shots of them about to give each other hot oil messages, shots of her giving him “come-get-me-tiger” looks and too many rose petals everywhere.
I know I know, I’m partly at fault here, after all, no one slapped my wrist and forced me to witness these unconventional displays of affection, but have we not gone too far? Whatever happened to sacred intimate moments , have we lost all our sensible notions of privacy or are we too busy enjoying sharing everything with the world to care anymore? Bisoux

The Miss Lebanon 2011 Competition- What A Joke!
Did anyone go through the painful ordeal of watching the disaster that was Miss Lebanon 2011 yesterday? I’ve never cringed more in my life while watching the pageants answer the judges’ questions,trip on stage and attempt to dance or preform. No really, it was out of this world! I had to cover my face with my hands for half the time, I was sooo embarrassed for them and I don’t even know them. And the judges? Almost every single lady judge except for the amazing designer Reem Acra had overdosed on Botox and facelifts before the show, how can such women possibly be chosen to select the fresh face of Lebanese beauty when they clearly don’t realize the abuse they’ve inflicted on their own faces and how fake they come off to regular folks!?
Every year the contestants in Miss Lebanon get less and less, I’m not gonna say pretty, let’s just say less up to Miss Lebanon or beauty pageant material. We’ve all heard the same thing, many beautiful girls that would qualify come from ” good” families who would not allow them to enter a pageant. I don’t know if that’s true or false, all I know is that if the folks over at this Miss Lebanon Committee can’t find some decent looking girls to throw a pageant, then they should seriously reconsider throwing it in the first place. Now I get that the new Miss Lebanon 2011 has a huge following, many friends and fans, perhaps my standards of beauty are all messed up but I don’t think the new Miss Lebanon Yara Khoury deserves that title, both physically or intellectually. Don’t get me wrong, I am by no means insinuating she is ugly, she is a pretty girl , but by no means or under no beauty standard does this young lady qualify to represent Lebanon locally or better yet at ANY international beauty pageant. Why don’t I let you guys be the judge?… Bisoux
