Tonight I attended my first party that I was invited to based solely on my job at MTV. It was a "beautiful people" and "fancy people" and "famous people" party. People who are famous just for being famous. They had closed down an entire street in ancient Yafo and had a "block party." The designer of the event is a designer we work closely with so we got in with our whole posse. We're cool like that.

These people were all SO COOL. Many of them had funky glasses and walked with an air of arty-fartsy-ness.

Since moving to Israel I have had quite a funny experience whenever I'm near Israeli "celebs." Its hard to even call them celebs but here that's what they are. My good friend can spot them all - models, TV personalities, musicians, actors, etc. I think they all look the same, smell like hummus and are the farthest thing from celebrity imaginable. Very hard to feel impressed in their presence. They all still need day jobs and struggle to afford the lives they think they deserve as Israeli celebs.

However, for the first time in my nearly four years here I actually, finally spotted a celeb on my own. He's the host of a popular food appreciation show in Israel. He frequently travels abroad and reports back to Israelis about world cuisine. I was SO proud of myself for actually spotting this aging celeb, his pony tail and white goatee.

And thus I have become an Israeli. At least there was an open bar… which is a safe bet in Israel since the natives tend not to drink very much.
