For those how don’t know this Arabian habit, after drinking the Turkish coffee Arab women usually turn their cups upside down and start reading the lines of coffee left inside the cup, they try to see into the future, of course it’s a silly thing but they enjoy it. This scene from a Lebanese play features two women trying to read the cup of an English-speaking girl, one of them reads, the other translates, but in a sexually oriented way.
Google announced the launch of Middle Eastern themes for iGoogle, according to their press release the themes are UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, and Shisha cafe. The Shisha theme is the only one that I liked, I believe they could of done much better for the others, plus I couldn’t find the UAE one, but below you can find them:
Interesting billboard for Koleston Hair Care Products, the hair of the lady in the billboard is die-cut, and through different phases of day and night it reflects the variations of Koleston Natural Colors, I think the only problem is that the face details shouldn’t been die-cut, look at the first one it doesn’t look right, but I like it!
