Twiggy


I never heard of her till today, but Wikipedia says that this 60 years old women is an English model, actress, and singer, At 16, she became the first prominent teenage model. She was known for her large eyes, long eyelashes, and thin build, and is regarded as one of the most famous models of all times.

that's all ok! but can u imagine how does she look like now! of course like a 60 years old women, the latest scandal however says she did a magazine advertisement for Olay! ( all ladies know Olay ha! ), her picture was heavily airbrushed in that ad! and the result a picture of herself looking 30 years younger.

Hundreds of people have formally complained about the ad, The British advertising watchdog says the ad portrayed an unrealistic image and therefore is misleading, the ad was banned all over UK, the yet most funny thing in the whole thing is that the company still insists that the retouching was minor!!

Burj al Arab - The Largest Christian Cross in the Arab World


It's probably old news! But I just heard of...

Did you ever thought to look to that amazing construction from the back, that's from the sea facing the land? You might be surprised...

The story says that this amazing building which was designed by Tom Wright of WS Atkins PLC, the world was told that it was built to resemble a sail, however after the tower was finished and everything was paid and settled, Mr. Wright, a Christian British architect, made a statement! which started as a private statement to fellow colleagues and friends, but later it came out and was all over the internet, it's in fact a shocking statement I would say to some especially that this tower is widely considered to be Dubai’s most important landmark.

The statement says that he, intentionally that's, had built what he referred to as " The Largest Christian Cross in the Muslim World", it was said that he wanted to have some sort of a Christian influence in a Muslim country, and it seems Dubai was the choice!

The funny thing is, that after this was discovered, Saudi Arabia prohibited cars coming from UAE to enter the country, that's because the old car plates in UAE had a picture of the tower on them!

In anyway, till this moment! The architect himself didn’t deny nor approve this conspiracy theory! but, even if looked like a cross! Does it matter much!!

I'm sure the answer is relative as well, and all opinions are respected.


Cheers

Things I call Random

Far from the eyes of the dragon
away and apart from all those that once mattered
miles and miles on a drift
It's a journey I took alone
A vow I made and a promise
A Choice
Voices, Shadows and Silence
Dark nights that never ends
Blues, Heartbeats and Despair
It's the Start
Just the Start
A start that very much looks like an end
We go in circles
Souls merge
Thousands of thoughts and more
Red lines
Danger
STOP!
Silence comes again
A Voice breaks the silence
It's time
JUMP!
