No No No Naomi!

Posh Spice decided to have her extensions back and Naomi is suffering from Traction Alopecia - meaning she has been wearing extensions for too long and is now losing her hair.
Poor little Naomi!

Posh Spice with long hair again

Here we go! Victoria has her extensions back and I simply love it!
Although I am not a big fan of extensions, maybe due to the fact that I am lucky enough to have long, thick hair.
But wearing hair from a strangers person...it freaks me a little out!
I am certain David is extremely happy about her new look and will not be cheating on her with long, haired brunettes. (Hold on she still needs to eat a little more!!)

Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.

I just read BBC news online and I came across a new survey which has been done in the UK.
It basically doesn't give us any exciting new information other than that men lie more than women.
We all know men do not feel as guilty about lying as women do! Dahhhh!
But let's find out what the Top Ten lies of men are:

1. I didn't have that much too drink
2. Nothing is wrong, I am fine.
3. I had no signal.
4. It wasn't that expensive
5. I am on my way
6. I am stuck on traffic
7. No, your bum doesn't look big in that
8. Sorry, I missed your call
9. You have lost weight
10. It's just what I have always wanted

My advise let them lie! But don't feel guilty yourself about lying as long as your lie is a white lie!
Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.

Chanel Cruise Collection 2011

It' s a sunny beautiful day. Vanessa Paradis and Diane Kruger enjoy a glass of Champagne at the harbor of Saint Tropez. Whilst stunning models walk along presenting Monsieur Karl's new sensational Beach Wear Collection'11.
The colors are smooth, bikinis are girly and as it seems the 70s are back.
The collection reminds me of Jane Birkin in 'La Piscine'.

Congrats Karl! You don't seem lost anymore and your fashion is starting to look very Parisienne/French again instead of very opulent Russian.

Check this out if you live in Spore and in desperate need for a facial or massage!

Guys, I found the best website ever!
If you live in Singapore and you are looking for a cheap but excellent facial or massage go and check this website out http://www.icompare.sg.
It's worth it! But remember it's only first trial offers.
Have fun getting pampered!

NO NO NO!!!

It's a new month and I have the urge to be mean!
Let's talk about this week's NO NO's!


Heidi you look horrendous! Maybe all of your 20 hairdryers are kaputt or you were too busy with Seal in the shower and forgot about the time. We all know how busy you are!


Kristen fire your stylist! I know you are very young and for some reason I cannot picture you in a Chanel boutique but you look trashy on the red carpet! (This is not the first time!)
And my dear hero Karl what were you thinking? I assume you have a creative crisis you may be forgiven!


Naomi 'Shut up'! How old are you? Blaming your mommy for all your anger issues. I know you will never grow up at least not for the next 15 years. Too much fame, too much money, too much attention is unhealthy for a women like you.

Sorry, we cannot hire you! You have blood type B!

We get asked all sort of questions at job interviews and we just try to sell ourselves as best as we can!
We secretly know that there is nearly always an attempt of discrimination going on whether it is your skin color, your age, your relationship status or your gender.
In Japan it's on a whole different level. You will get asked what blood type you are!?!
I have been intrigued by the Japanese culture since a long time unfortunately I have not been to Japan yet but I studied Kumon. (Japanese method of learning mathematics)

What happens if you have blood type A? In Japan a person with blood group A is said to be dependable and self sacrificing.
Blood group 0 are people who are confident and decisive.
Blood group AB are logical and distant.
Blood group B are selfish.

Hmm, I guess if I ever have an interview at a Japanese company I will just tell them I am blood type 0. (Anything but B!)

Greece=Junk

Greek bonds are rated as 'junk' by the agencies. Some banks do not even invest into junk bonds.
I have been talking to Greek people and most of them actually agreed with me! If we save Greece the money will just be given to the same careless and stinking people. Also Germany does not have the luxury to just give 45 billion Euros away. The Germans are hugely in debt, it is guessed that in 2013 Germany's debt might be over 2 trillion Euros.

How will Greece pay the money back? A corrupt government which faked itself into the EU?
What is going to happen to Italy, Spain, Ireland and Portugal? It's just a matter of time until they will ask for loans.

People in most parts in the world do not get unemployment benefits or medical care. How do they survive? Well they just do! Life is tough!

It is time to wake up for Greece and reform itself.

Poor Swedish girls...

Madeleine and Elin don't run away! Please, tell us what's going on in your love lives!?!
Maybe it's not our business but we already know when you were born, where you have your favorite coffee and where you live and love. So, forget about Privacy Rule because the world is curious about the fact why you are hiding.
We already know about Tiger behaving like a tiger and Jonas probably follows the same pattern.

Girls stop running away and face the truth about your tigers, forgive them (after you kicked their butts and crashed their favorite car) and start dating penguins.

What a love affair!

Politics is corrupt, we all know that! I am a little annoyed by the fact that everyone is against Merkel (Frau Nein) about her choice not to support Greece at the moment.
Greece faked papers to get into the EU and since when is the EU there to support broke countries. It's just like a tricky love story.

Germany and France are King and Queen of Europe and at the moment they have a 'little' dispute. The Queen thinks that her husband should help the poorer outside the country but the King thinks of his own country and beliefs it is sometimes wiser to let the poorer learn from their own mistakes and let them work it out themselves. The King is bored by the Queen's 'yucky' attitude who pretends to be Mother Theresa, hence he falls in love with Russia. Russia has the body and touch of a 25 year old. She is corrupt but yet has so much more resources to offer, she is full of provocative and raunchy ideas.

My advice: The King and Russia shall never get married! Enjoy the affair whilst it lasts! Queen get off from your white horse and stop being soppy! (It's not attractive!)
We are all looking out for ourselves!

BVLGARI and Julianne

Advertising is annoying and disruptive!
I know some women only buy magazines such as ELLE, VOGUE, TATLER etc. because of the ads.
Occasionally l like to page through heavily photoshopped advertisements.
It's always the same 'Superwomen' covered in beautiful and overpriced clothes, carrying a handbag and covered in jewels.

But one special ad by BVLGARI caught my prompt awareness. The photos remind me of an oil painting hanging on the walls in the antiquated Louvre.

Julianne Moore looks absolutely stunning close to an eccentric jungle goddess.

This is unquestionable true art! Well done Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot.

Lindsay Lohan Fall Collection '10 (DO NOT BUY)

Lindsay Lohan is not my favourite! Sometimes she looks like she hasn't showered since days and for someone who can afford daily manicures her hands look disastrous.

We all know that celebrities love indulging in fame so once they have established themselves as an actor/singer/model they nowadays also try their hand in fashion designing.
The list is endless!
We can buy Gisele Bundchen flip flops, Paris Hilton hand bags, Heidi Klum maternity wear and Birkenstocks. For the likes of my beloved Gwen Stefani and even Posh Spice fashion designing seems to come naturally to them, whilst others fail miserably.

Lindsay Lohan's new collection is a disaster. Have a look for yourself. We know the 80's are back but give it a little more taste Lindsay.



Anything with a name on it sells, so I guess she'll find some silly teenage girls who will buy her clothes with their pocket money.

Good luck Lindsay!

Squeeze it!

We have been seeing those Bandage dresses for a while on the red carpet.
I got myself several Herve Leger Dresses. (I live in Asia, I get them much cheaper)
And I love to admit these dresses are just hot!
Fight the fight…squeeze yourself into Herve Leger even if you end up having an argument with your boyfriend/husband/best friend to close the dress….it’s worth the fight tell them to try harder and zip it up!
Put some high heels on and you feel like a top model and a size smaller.
I have no idea where my most beloved love handles and thighs have gone to?!!
This dress performs wonders!

Fanny pack spotted in Thailand!

'The fanny pack (US), belt pack (US), belly bag (US), Buffalo pouch (US), hip sack (US), hip pack (UK), or bum bag (UK, Canada, Oceania), moon bag (South Africa), the Joe bag, or man bag, is a small fabric pouch secured with a zipper and worn at the waist by a strap around the hips or waist.'

I am in peachy Phuket at the moment. The beaches are great although the water is not crystal clear.
When you cross through the streets of Phuket you certainly think you are back in the 80s.
You will spot Caucasian women in their 40s with short, spiky hair, way too tanned and with a fanny pack around heir hips.
God, I love fanny packs! Fashionable in the 80s. Nowadays it's an unforgivable fashion faux pas.
I remember my mom had at least 20 fanny packs and of course I had a Barbie one.
I totally understand why travelers/women wear the 'ultimate' fanny pack, it's much more comfortable than carrying a hand bag, you certainly shouldn't bring your Muse bag to Thailand.
Thailand is not the place to show off - just be yourself, and show your unmasked face (Yes, I am not wearing any make up!) That's what traveling in Asia is all about!

I am sure most of you have already been or you have read tons of articles about this stunningly beautiful country. We all know that a lot of tourists come to Thailand to only release some of their sexual frustration.
It is quite shocking to watch horrendously looking white men with very, very young Thai girls.
In a way I understand those men! Thai girls are so friendly, attentive, charming, naive and very pretty. I love those girls, too! What a great culture, everyone is smiling here.
Even German and Russian tourists are smiling.

In my own opinion it is a little sad - how a culture can also be downgraded to 'sex'.
You don't only see guys in their 60s buying themselves a young Thai girl.
Oh, no! Girls if your husbands and boyfriends fly with their friends to Thailand for a short trip....I would certainly give it a very high chance that he will not reject all those pretty, little faces on the streets trying to grab his best friend and screaming 'Sucky! Sucky!' at him!

I don't know how mad I would get if my husband or boyfriend would travel to Thailand and sleep with a Thai. I think I would most certainly 'kill' him if he slept with a Ladyboy.
Ladyboys are gorgeous in Thailand! I wish I would have their legs!
But those Ladies have way too much attitude!!

For now I am trying to ignore the sex tourism in Thailand and I will just lie by the beach, enjoy a cocktail or two, eat Pad Thai and get as many massages as possible.
Because that's the essence of Thailand! It's about total relaxation and my fanny pack which carries everything you need - credit card, passport, Labello and indifference.

Iran I send you a red Carnation

'The carnation, scientifically known as Dianthus caryophyllus, is a historically rich and meaningful flower choice. With its scientific name dianthus roughly translating to "flower of love" or "flower of the gods", depending on the source, this flower is one that has been revered for centuries. One of the world's oldest cultivated flowers'

If you give someone a red carnation it can also mean 'your heart aches for you'.

I have been surrounded with the Iranian culture since I played with Barbie.
For some reason I feel connected to this mystical and captivating culture.
Strangely, I feel much more comfortable being in a room surrounded by tons of Iranians than I do in a room full of Germans. (Yes, I am German!)

'Media Mafia' feeds the world with these headlines:

• Two Iranian teens, two reactions to their father's jailing Wed 31, 2010
• Obama demands deadline for Iran Wed Mar 31, 2010
• Iran building two more nuclear enrichment plants Mon 28, 2010
• Iran-New wave of blogger arrests Mon Mar 22, 2010
• Reformist newspapers banned in Iran Mon 1, 2010
• Iran says the world 'will regret' sanctions Tue 16, 2010
• Clinton warns Iran of becoming a military dictatorship Mon 15, 2010

I can honestly tell you the picture is far bigger and more complicated than you think.
Tehran was more liberal in the 70's than West Berlin.
Emancipated Iranian women walked around in short skirts, high heels, showing their beautiful thick dark hair.
The country had just as many 'Hippies' as any other liberal country did.
People were free!


In 1979 the 'Islamic Regime' kidnapped this freedom.
I do not want to get into the reasons why the revolution started. I don't know enough about this certain event but I can assure you that the Western World especially a certain country which likes to call itself 'World Leader' had it's involvement in this dramatic historical event.
It is not my intention to only blame the U.S for this happening. As I truly believe that the Islamic Regime wouldn't be in power without support from the Iranian population.*
Again, it's hard to judge from someone like me who lives outside Iran and by descent contains no Iranian blood.

My purpose is to bring this intriguing culture a little closer to you; to understand that these people are truly beautiful.

You can spot an Iranian woman with her immaculate threaded eyebrows. (I am so envious! I am blond, hence I do not have any eyebrows.)
Her eyes remind me of a Persian cat (Oldest breed in the world and bloody expensive.)
She will play a little bit too much with her make up and hair but I can forgive her, she can still pull it off! She doesn't eat much because as in any other culture she thinks that being a size zero is pretty. Personally, I couldn't be skinny in Iran. I would eat Polow, Khorest and Kebab every single day. I actually gained a lot of weight when I went five years ago. Everywhere you go an Iranian Mommy will hunt you down placing all different kinds of Persian food on your plate even though the plate is already covered with food. (Trust me you cannot escape!)
Let's get back to the Persian girl. She doesn't speak openly about her emotions. She is raised to think that a real lady keeps her problems to herself. (Hmm??!) She is all about grace.
If she is wealthy you will never see her ears and fingers au naturel. (Diamonds are a Persian's girls best friend)
She has the power to death stare you but (a tip for you) just give her a sincere, warm glimpse and her eyes will start to smile.
Iranian men are a different topic. Because of their supreme complexity they actually deserve a whole blog on their own. (Yep, I have dated a few!)
Shortly cut...! Do not ever touch the pride of an Iranian man you will loose him forever but most of the time he looses himself in that pride.

I remember as it was yesterday. Visiting many families in Tehran, Shomal and Isfahan. Their homes were all furnished with Persian carpets, glass tables and mirrors and they aired with the fragrant aroma of fruits and nuts fusing together, children running around grabbing everyone's attention, gossiping ladies sitting on the sofa and quiet husbands smoking a cigarette.

I have been warmly greeted by everyone. A lot of kisses and hugging! Saying 'goodbye' can actually consume a whole hour.
I felt accepted! I know that Iranian's can be very good actors because it's in their culture to be polite. Frankly, even if they acted I appreciated the effort, it felt like home to me.

When you come to Iran you will feel sorrow. You watch how people are trapped in their homes. You cannot simply hang around at Starbucks and go shopping at H&M. The Cafe's are uncomfortable and the religious police (Committee) can come any minute and ruin your fun. It is far more entertaining to meet at a friend's or relative's house, listen to Gogoosh or Iranian Rap, have a cup of black tea and page through the Book of Hafez. (Persian Poet/Philosopher 13??-1390)
Oh yes, Iranian's are thinkers. I like to compare them to the old Greeks.
Every Iranian I have met until now is a little bit of a Philosopher.

In conclusion I can tell you I have fallen in love with Iran. Persian culture is one of the oldest cultures in the world. Their poetry is magic, their songs are sung by the most beautiful language in the world, the streets are walked by 'thinkers', prayers lie in the air and sadness covers the scatter of the Islamic Revolution.
My Dear Iran I send you a red Carnation.

Insh'Allah


* In order for me to be politically correct I need to mention that some Iranians don't believe in Westernization and are content with the Islamic Regime. The Shah made his mistakes, too. But what is a life worth living without freedom!?!

Sandra my Rhino Beetle

Sandra Annette Bullock she survived a crash in a chartered Business Jet and a horrible Car crash. Now she is facing pure humiliation in front of everyone's eyes.
I mean we all have stories to tell, and she is not the only poor soul who has been publicly humilitated by the fact that her husband cannot keep his 'Best Friend' in his pants. (The list is long...)

But it's 'Miss Congeniality'! I grew up watching movies with her and from small on I fell in love with her beautiful smile. (I was never a big Julia Roberts fan unlike all my classmates.)
Sandra can laugh about herself and still look adorable in any awkward, embarrassing situation.
Obvioulsy I have never met her! I only know what the brutal 'Media Mafia' tells me but I am certain she will overcome this difficult period. Whatever her decision will be I believe she has the heart of a 'Rhino Beetle' (Strongest animal in the world, it can carry 850 times its body weight). She is a survivor.

I ain't a Lioness

I have been living in the ‘Lion City’ (Singapore) for nearly a year and I still have trouble to feel this city. Hmm, what do I mean by feeling a city?!

Let’s be bluntly honest...!!
This city lacks Punks, Goths, Diva's and anyone else who likes to 'occasionally' drop out of what society perceives as 'normal'!!!
U can narrow Singapura down into four groups:

First of course the stereotypical Singaporean which speaks Singlish not English.
The average Singaporean girl has probably more than three Hair Straightener in her draw. She just loves her silky, black hair straight (Girls listen to me – straight hair doesn’t suit everyone!) She likes her Shorts, Flip Flops and in the evening her little black Mini Dress. She is independent, hard working and at the end of the year she will spent all of her savings for her most precious ‘Louis Vuitton’ bag. Singaporean men are not very emotional at least they like to spend on their women. He is addicted to Tiger Beer and also hard working.
He loves movies and his biggest dream is to drive a Mercedes one day which is more than unlikely. (Cars are highly taxed here)


The second group are the Bankers. Oh, yes the Prophets of Capitalism.
We love to watch them in Clubs such as Brix (Full of expensive Hookers) spending extortionate amounts of money to show off. They behave ludicrously everywhere - no need to get into it…BORING!


The third Group is the Australian Man. Yes, you will come across a lot of Australians in Singapore they live and love here. U will meet them at the Four Floors of Whores.
You will catch some of them on the Fourth Floor.
(Be daring have a look if you live her too, I actually like it up there!! (Ladyboy Floor))
The Australian man is continuously on a hunt for his 'Sheila'.


The last group is the Expat Family. They are so lucky! This Family will most likely consist of two children, live in a three-four bedroom condo right in the city, have a personal maid and a nanny.
Expat wives are lying by the pool, enjoying a Mocktail or two and their nanny takes care of the screaming kids. She can shop without her children, she can go to the Spa every single day and her husband won’t be late home for a ready made meal by the maid. (Working hours are not like in Tokyo)

I guess I have been living in London too long. I miss the edginess!
Please, do not get me wrong I am having a great time here and I have met beautiful,magnificent people. The sun is shining and the shopping is great. But for someone like me who is too creative and way too expressive its not the right place.
I guess I just ain’t a Lioness.


P.S: Yes, I do judge, yes I do generalize – I am working on it! One day I will be enlightened enough to get rid of such bad habits! But we all need to be entertained :)

Recommendation....

The other day I passed by a book shop and a bright orange book got my attention. A book written by Elizabeth Gilbert 'Committed'.

In 2008 TIME Magazine voted her one of the one hundred most influential people in the world. (Normally I do not believe in such pointless lists as I think each of us influences the world in his or her own way)
Anyways, she most certainly did influence me! The book captured my immediate attention and I finished it within 2 days.

Gilbert is one of the very, very many who has broken her vows.
She is brave enough to open her soul to the public about this difficult time. Her language is the language of a women who feels with her heart and only her heart. She tried to understand why she failed, she is a seeker just like me and most of us! And because she did so she found 'Love' again.

The book is not only about her, its about 'women' - from different cultures, from different generations. We all have different perceptions of marriage and she is trying to find out what those are.
I do not want to spoil the book, hence I will stop now!

I am in my mid twenties I am suppose to believe that fairy tales are true!
But you know what!?!...Cinderella only exists in the world of cartoons but Fiona and Shrek live in our world!!
Hearing the word 'Marriage' freaks me out - I get Goose bumbs all over my body!
Yes, you might think I am a Commitment Phobic but I don't think I am!

'Committed' has helped me a little to understand why most of us fail and that a world without believing in love is no world.

Trust me give it a go... especially if you are like me...raised with separated parents, surrounded by friends who have divorced parents, friends who are already divorced etc.

Btw if you find your Shrek...preserve the love well...it's hard work but u can do it! :))

Me, myself and I

Me...is the women who still thinks it's alright to have a Hello Kitty phone

Myself...is a seeker of truth

I....love myself and me!
