Lonely Planet loves Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv came in 3rd on Lonely Planet's Top 10 List of cities in 2011. Well done Tel Aviv! I really love Tel Aviv. I love the constant change, dynamic, vibes... everything about this city. I just went out to buy something to eat, 2:30 am middle eastern time. The city never sleeps. I wish more people would visit Israel, not too many though, would hate Tel Aviv to end up like so mane other middle terrainian cities. But people should experience this pearl, the friendly people, the food, the nightlife (!), not everything is war and terror here.

3. Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv is the total flipside of Jerusalem, a modern Sin City on the sea rather than an ancient Holy City on a hill. Hedonism is the one religion that unites its inhabitants. There are more bars than synagogues, God is a DJ and everyone’s body is a temple. Yet, scratch underneath the surface and Tel Aviv, or TLV, reveals itself as a truly diverse 21st-century Mediterranean hub. By far the most international city in Israel, Tel Aviv is also home to a large gay community, a kind of San Francisco in the Middle East. Thanks to its university and museums, it is also the greenhouse for Israel’s growing art, film and music scenes.

Rihanna's hairdo

Not sure what to think of Rihanna's latest hairdo. The hot red looks great on her, but the Woody Woodpecker or bird nest she had over the summer is not my cup of tea. A little less shaving and a little more length would look more flattering, but that's just my opinion. She sure dares where others don't. And for that she deserves credit. The person behind her hair through the last years is Ursula Stephen, who gained a lot of fame for her work with/on Rihanna. Wanna know more about, then click here.

Toilet paper bridal dresses

I was surfing around and found an article about budget brides. They suggest making your bridal dress out of toilet paper! Not sure how long the dress would last, but it sure is creative an inspirrering. The dresses were commisioned by "Lily" toilet paper, the leading brand of the Israeli company Hogla-Kimberly Ltd. Reas the whole article here.

End of competition

What a failure! Not even one entered the competition. I don't know if it was the terms, the prize or just that my blog is so dead borring that nobody wanted to enter. Don't really feel like going on with the blog. I like spending time on posting things here, but in the end it's not really fun without comments from other people. Not sure what to... so on, change something or end the life of my blog...

My fave mascara

My favorite mascara is actually a drug store mascara. It's Maybeline's Define-a-lash. I prefere the non waterproof as it doesn't make my lashes hard. The head of the applicator is small wish is great for people with short lashes and little space between lid/brow/sucket like me. The bended shape of the applicator gives your lashes a natural curl. It's very easy to build up. The only down side is, that it is very wet when applied, so you might have to remove mascara from the area around you eyes.

Pic: I only applied one fast coat, so it doesn't really do the mascara any justice. I might have to take a better picture when the mascara has been applied properly.

Sparkling Barrymore

Drew Barrymore looked absolutely fabulous for her appearance on David Letterman with beachy hair and a sequined top. I know it's a long time ago (August), but I saved the pictures a long time ago and forgot to post them. Anyway, here she is for you who haven't seen her before.

Barrymore wore a Richard Chai sequined long sleeved top, paired with navy Camilla and Marc pants and gorgeous grey YSL suede pumps.
