I Love Dragon Mall!

My husband and I visited the Dragon Mart Mall today for the very first time and we were kicking ourselves for not coming earlier and furnishing our house from there.

All the products are made in China and are really good quality with cheap prices! Some of the items are being sold at the mall for 20 times the price.

They have everything your little heart desires: from funky USB falsh drives to Jacuzzi bathtubs.  I saw a faux Chinese-made iPad today next to a 45 kilo safe. In short, if you can't find it at Dragon Mart, it doesn't exist! 

One of my favorite things to look for are the fake designer handbags. I was shocked by the amount of knock-offs being openly sold but I will be honest, they are not the best quality at all. They are not even close.

In general, I do not recommend buying fake handbags but if you must, do yourself a favor and don't buy them from Dragon Mall.


Check out some of my pictures below and let us know what you love about Dragon Mall in the comments section!

Cleanliness
Overall, the salon looked clean and I didn't see anything nasty enough to blog about. No hair on the floor, no smell of chemicals and it was properly ventilated. During my manicure, the esthetician used new tools straight out the bag which she assured me were disinfected and sterilized. I am not sure if she washed the soaking bowl before she put my hands in there, but it also looked fine.


Quality of Services 
What I loved about this place is that they have a wide array of Essie nail polishes and that happens to be my favorite brand. It's nice to see a huge selection since not many salons have them because they are expensive.

Since I am usually in a hurry and hate to stay at the salon for hours, I really put a lot of emphasis on how timely they can get my nails done. And I was done in 45 minutes which isn't bad but I'd rather it be done earlier. 

My manicure was OK, but was sub par if you compare it to the price.

Customer Service
I was a bit late for my appointment because I had to finish a report and when I walked in, the receptionist gave me a really nasty look. She was frowning and mumbling and I couldn't even hear her. Basically, she was giving me major attitude. I know I was late and I should have called, but Jesus lady, crack a smile!

My esthetician was really cute and I enjoyed chatting with her.

Price
The prices are bit much but I guess could be considered reasonable for the Dubai Marina / Media City area. 120AED ($33) is typical for a manicure and pedicure but I didn't feel I was getting the star treatment.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Stars Without Makeup!

Just like this post about the worst celebrity beach bodies of 2012, here are some pics of celebrities caught off-guard without wearing a pound of makeup. Some look amazing and some... not so much!

The most shocking to me is Hilary Swank's face! Million Dollar facial anyone?

The World's Highest Paid Super Models

I am so sorry, but this is FUCKING BULLSHIT!

I woke up at 6am every morning for the 16 years to go to school. My parents spent thousands of dollars sending me to the best universities in the world! When I was done with the whole ordeal, I got job and worked my ass off trying to make end's meet.

But these women put some funky clothes on and then they walk! That's it. They walk down an isle! Some walk with an attitude, some walk with huge wings attached to their backs. Some might give a flirty, flying kiss at the end. And some, well they look like skeletons from a horror movie.

And, to top it all off, they make more money than I will ever dream of!

I wouldn't say that about celebrities like Julia Roberts or Angelina Jolie. Those women get paid the big bucks because making movies is hard and not everyone can be a good actor.

Walking is not hard! A 10-month old can do what these models can do.

And if you see the list, all the models are making like 10 million dollars or less.

Then BAM! Gisele comes in and blows everyone out the water... Scroll down to see the absolutely ridiculous amount she made last year.

Anyways, here's the list...

10. Candice Swanepoel $3.1 Million

 9. Carolyn Murphy $3.5 Million

8. Lara Stone $3.8 Million 

7. Miranda Kerr $4 Million

6. Alessandra Ambrosio $6.6 Million

5. Doutzen Kroes $6.9 Million

 4. Adriana Lima $7.3 Million

 

3. Natalia Vodianova $6.9 Million

 2. Kate Moss $9.2 Million

1. Gisele Bundchen $45 Million (WTF?!)

Madonna Flashes Nipple in Turkey, Shows Ass Crack in Italy!

Madonna might be in her early 50's, but bitch is acting like a hormonal teenager!

First off, she -intentionally- shows off her nipple to the crowd in Turkey (who are predominantly Muslim, by the way).

Then she moons her fans in Italy, wearing a lace thong.

No matter what you think about her wild antics, girl has got it going on and I would be so lucky to look like her when I'm 53!

Now I really regret missing her show in Abu Dhabi.
