I may have gone a little overboard with the pictures here, so please, I won’t be offended if you don’t get through the entire post. I’m sure you have kids to feed and cars to wash. But if you have a minute (or fifteen), check out this incredible country! I had never been to the Middle East before, and if they hadn’t started throwing bombs around I’d probably have seen a lot more. Alas, the [...]
It was just when we were about to shoot her second outfit that the bomb alert went off: a loud droning siren started to wail across the city to warn the citizens of Tel Aviv to run for cover. As soon as a foreign missile, in this case, one shot directly from the Gaza strip, enters the city’s airspace the alarm sounds, giving everyone ninety seconds to hide in a basement shelter or the stairwell, [...]
It’s hard to separate the current affairs in Israel and the Gaza strip from my tourist experiences, but maybe it’s a nice distraction to remember the moments when shit did not hit the fan yet. My friend Roza (local editor for Russian Elle) and I visited the Dead Sea on Wednesday, the day Israel killed the leader of Hamas and launched an airstrike on Gaza. Our first clue came when a series of fighter jets [...]
I never met Mercedes’ mom but I can just about picture what she looked like when she was young: tall and leggy in a floral, A-line mini-dress, with oversized sunglasses, honey-brushed, wispy bangs, and a warm, toothy smile. Her interior may have even been similar to the one I just stepped into: formica furniture, posters of the Beatles, an old record player and lots of orange. The Spanish theme would have come from the garden, [...]

I won’t spend too many words. Even the pictures are not capable of capturing the devastation. Just be conscious and think of our planet. And thank you for voting.
There had been a little accident at Chelsea Leyland’s apartment the night before. While she was sound asleep, dreaming of the salt and pepper chocolate and barley salads she’s obsessed with, she smacked her head on the corner of the mirrored night stand next to the bed, leaving her not only in a state of shock all the way through the morning but also nauseous, and no longer thinking of anything remotely edible. “I don’t [...]
At first I thought, I should do a Sandy Look of the Week. So I looked at myself: what have I been wearing this whole disastrous week? I never missed electricity or food here in Williamsburg – just my satellite dish tumbled down and I’ve been without TV (still am) – but I never really thought about getting dressed. Whatever for anyway? I’ve been shacked up with my poor sister who came for refuge from [...]
Pink, black, leather, and fuzzy things…..

The Amfar dinner has just finished when I arrive. The ballroom is slowly clearing out but the peppy ambiance resonates, albeit slightly inebriated I suppose. Men in classic tuxedos and women in revealing gowns shuffle between half-empty, cluttered tables, sparking up flirty conversations with friends and business associates, juggling champagne glasses and coffee cups on their way to the adjacent, crowded dance floor, where the Fendi party is just kicking off. I spot my friend [...]
