in a bidding war with Paula!




so to those of you who didn't watch the season 4 finale of project runway, don't worry we wont give it away ;p but today's update will tell a story of a bidding war between us and paula abdul lol!!
project runway was auctioning all the pieces off the runway, and the piece we chose from christian's oh so fierce collection went into a bidding war..4 minutes before the bid ended, the bidder "tulip08" kept insisting they win .. but i did not give up ;p and i won!
so how did i find out that tulip08 was paula? you see, nymag posted that Paula Abdul spent $3,000 on a dress made out of hershey wrappers..so out of curiosity, i went back to the auction site to see the Paula's bidding name..and guess what? she was registered under tulip08, non other than the person i fought with lol! it was her stylist .. he stayed up prettyyy late bidding on the top i won, considering that the auction ended at 10 am our time! i hope he doesn't get fired over us ;p
sorryy Paula!!

little miss mayjah ♥

they say she has a collection of over 100 birkins, making her the envy of many. we say having david beckham alone is enough to make her the luckiest girl on earth. not to forget that marc pays her to dress her. and how she looks fabulous almost always. and how she is/was part of a sensational pop group the spice girls, who took the world by storm. from taking her boys to a broadway show, to the toy store, victoria beckham is always dresses up oh so glamorously. and we love it.

from getting tickets to sitting in the gorgeous weather listening to her sing away, we felt soo lucky ;p on Wednesday, March 12th, Feiruz held a concert in Bahrain - i'm sure you read all about in the papers..fabulous night!

the weather was AMAZING like unbelievably breezy! with the concert supposed to be starting at 8:30, by 9:15, the band came out, w 9:20 feiruz walked out from backstage .. lots of people stood and there was alot of cheering ..

right before the intermission, a few people were beginning to doze off .. she was singing depresssingggly slow songs lol! after the intermission her song choices woke everyone up they were very fast and everyone kept singing and clapping..the best part was the last..

during her first farewell, as soon as she stepped backstage, a lot of people were already down next to the door .. elmohem ella this guy at that moment started chanting "FEYYYROOOOOOZ, FEIRUZ!!" and then everyyyone around him chanted with him until the whole audience was chanting .. and to our surprise she came back and everyyyone went crazy! so she sang a song and went back .. and again chants the guy and everyone copies him and she comes back, sings, and goes .. then the third time when he chanted we laughed and cried our eyes out ya3ni khalaaa9!! ellllla she came back a THIRD time LOL!!! mn 9iji everyone was standing up mshta6eiiin it was sooo much fun .. the third time she walked out, she whispered in the maestro's ear, sang a song, waved for a long time .. and left .. the lights immediately came on and the band stood up and left lol ya3ni khala9 chanting or no chanting it had to end! waw what a night!


if you haven't seen feiruz yet, it's on your MUST-DO list!

bringing home the birkin.


not only does April mark the month before the SATC movie is out, but it is also a month closer to the summer vacayy ;p most importantly, April is when the book Bringing Home the Birkin is finally released! This book talks about how Hermes created a fake waiting list in order to make their bags increasingly coveted; if you know how to ask for the bag, you can get one on the spot. The book chronicles Micheal Tonello's venture around the world buying Birkin's, proving his point of the lists, and reselling bags for a living. He provided many same- day birkins for the wealthy, receiving heavy commissions. Many fashionistas have him on speed dial.

pre-order a copy today before they sell out ;o and no matter how many times we hear "don't judge a book by its cover", who can resist the croc cover of this book?
