Our new cheeky columnist Barb E. Dahl casts her jaundiced eye over the quirkier side of life in the Emirates.
Barb E. Dahl is bemused by this dress made of Red Bull cans. More such quirky artworks can be seen at the Red Bull Art of Can exhibition at the Mall of the Emirates next month. Seems like some people have taken Obama’s Yes We Can catchphrase literally.
Barb E. Dahl is awe-struck by the setting of Club Bang opening at Souk Al Bahar next month. If the LED lighting, one of five in the world, was not enough to sparkle things up – the night club is encrusting its 16-metre bar with over 3 million crystallised Swarovski elements!
Barb E. Dahl is desperate to slip this Dh130, 000 Sarayburnu Seragilo ring on her finger. Designed by Sevan Bicakci, and crafted from high karat gold, sterling silver and antique- cut diamonds, the ring promises to ‘transport the wearer across the Turkish Sea of Marmara where the Topkapi Palace and Gulhane Park stand’. Or so the press release would have us believe.
Looking ahead: 2009, what to expect>
