Fur and Divas

At the beginning I want to apologize to any animals lover who may be offended by this post, as I am talking about fur here, I am not really trying to promote violence against animals, I will never wear genuine leather unless it's passed down to me, and I think faux fur rocks. But no one can deny that the fur coat, foulard or even hat has an incredible elegance and chicness. Nowadays not everyone can really wear or afford fur, but faux fur is always a good option and is very fashionable too this season.
In Egypt's golden days, all the high society ladies, actresses and divas had to have a piece of genuine leather in their closet. Here are some photos I have collected for Egyptian divas rocking fur. When I was going through some pictures I was like OMG :) how come they looked that good, there were really a lot of well dressed actresses at that time. For me the chicest actress ever has to be Madiha Yousri, and Rakyah Ibrahim, I will be dedicating a whole post to their style.

The Egyptian Gossip Girl

I know you loved the Disney Vs Egyptian stars sequel, so today I tried to imagine if Gossip Girl was done by an Egyptian production, who would play every character.

For Dan Humphery, I think Abdel Halim with his romantic and dreamy character could play the lonely boy character very well. Also no one can denies the uncanny resemblance between them.

Serena Vs Naglaa Fathy:
Although I am not a fan of Naglaa Fathy, especially her Mahmoud Yassin era hahaha, but with her tall golden locks, eyes and features she really looks so much like Serena, and she mastered the roles of the superficial girl, the one who has many boyfriends and the arrogant girl, so as Serena's character.

For Nate, well we don't have an actor so cute as Nate except the onle and only Hussien Fahmy, a younger Hussien Fahmy of course.

For Lily, although she doesn't look alot like her but I could only imagine Yousra for her part.

For Blair, it was really so hard to get :) but I came this photo for Sherihan and I noticed a big similarity, and we all know how stylish Sherihan was, she was one of the best dressed actresses ever, and she was famous for her complicated roles, and I am sure if she would given the Blair role when she was young, she would have mastered it.

She even wore headbands just like Queen B.

Chuck, oh Chuck...I guess you have guess it by now, of course it has to be Roushdy Abaza. Abaza had to be the perfect guy, first he is one of the most elegent actor in the Egyptian cinema, and he played so many role like the Chuck Bass.
