It's About Time

Let's just call this "my watch collection"!

Encore!

le début
                   Nadine Njeim earned her right!

       She was crowned and even served in the Red Cross.
           Her jewelry? Her right? Her prize ?  Ma3ool!

Summer Sequel

Message In A Bottle…..Part II

Pounding on a full set of drums has a way of bringing neighbors together……

while damaging eardrums….

and if that noise continues…there’s always ahlein.net

Have We Met?

                               Scarlett! Is that you?
                           We still miss Penelope.

East Meets West

           A French diploma in Japanese Kabuki Theater makeup?

Tattoo You

Are advertisers considering tattooing beautiful Lebanese girls to gain more advertising space? This is only a rumor. Let it be known, Lebanese girls are neither “for sale’ nor “for rent”.

Mirage

Beirut’s sweltering summer heat makes seeing this as a cool blue popsicle just as mouthwatering!

Playing The Numbers

   It’s not what you get that counts, it’s how many will you need?

Training Day

Next you can “play” wash the balcony, “play” hang the laundry, “play sweep the floors, “play” clean the toilet,  “play” wash the dishes and if you’re very good you can “play” iron the clothes…. don’t forget to take out the trash….it’s so much fun!

Fancy Footwork

Great idea! Lebanese women will love these little flipflops. The perfect shoe for the salon! Spend the day in comfort while getting ready for your night out!!

Defining Moment

   That’s a massive elephant you have there, are you having an elephant-sized sale?

More Or Less

Wishing for extra bodies isn’t necessary…..

A few extra hands are guaranteed…..

There are plenty of extra feet around….

and of course extra mouths to feed.

This is Lebanon, where families rely on each other…..well at least someone is relied on more than others, that person already has a few extra bodies to dress, hands to stuff cash into, feet waiting for new shoes and of course the extra mouths to feed while the very same mouth drinks too much arak and bellows out drunken advice at the very table the benefactor has provided.

Color My World

   “Lebanese are being bombarded in the form of outdoor advertising. Billboards fight for attention. While many cities have beautification and restoration committees, Beirut counts on the creativity of advertisers to add a bit of color and at least temporarily add beauty to crumbling buildings.
Here are some of what Lebanese are subjected to on a daily basis. Enjoy or suffer along with us.”
       Beirut Drive-by Shooting is 1 year old today. Thanks to the advertisers for providing so many great ads! Thanks to the many readers from around the world. Special thanks to the Lebanese Blogosphere.

Takin’ It To The Streets

What? Billboard space is too crowded?…Well, so are our streets!

Closer Than Close

These two ads are very much alike, the stilettos, the red square logo,

they are even close to each other on the road…just a few feet apart.
