Missing

So The Victoria Set is split for the moment as one is in one country and the other, home.

Which is which.

You decide.

The point is

Nour Naccache is missing Tanya Mokdad and I hope I see her soon.

Nsquared D Ghost Scam

Dearest fellows of the universe who read our blog, I have had enough.

Enough of what you ask?

I have had enough of Nigerian and Ghanian scammers who think that e-mailing me that they have paid for my ipad is enough verification for me to go ahead and send it off to Nigeria (they also add £40 for express delivery charges, how kind).

No.

This, this is starting to get old.

It was funny at one point when I started getting e-mails from Amazon telling me to post it straight away or my account would be disabled, or when they e-mailed telling me with horrendous grammar, e.g. "Contact Us" - Seriously, who puts capitals in the middle of a sentence. 

You have all met Tanios Mallah, the lovely man from our balcony interviews, well, as we have discovered, he is a little bit Nigerian, therefore speaks, a little bit of Pigeon. You can imagine the favour he did for me when he e-mailed them back telling them I was a Nigerian girl, and to stop taking me as a fool.

I thought it was over.

I really thought people were interested in my beautiful, sexy, sleek ipad, little did I know, they were not. Damn.

Tracy, my dear Tracy, Tracy was a wonderful woman, she told me all I wanted to hear, she wrote such sweet words, (as you can see below)

Little did I know, Tracy was a liar, as they all are. Damn things break our hearts without warning.
Amazon sent another 'convincing' e-mail, oh and where did they want me to send it?
Yep.
Nigeria.


Now, if I didn't know there was a 419 scamming group, sending it there would be no problem, but the pure fact they told me they paid for it, and to send it straight away, and expected me not to check my actual Amazon account, well. All I could say was...

Mr September returns with Miss Aquarius

Tanya and Tanios, both had similar backgrounds, similar names, and similar... feelings about themselves.. eh Tanios?

Getting a little bit cheeky I think.


Either way, the sun is STILL beautiful.

Mr September

Tanios Mallah, the newest addition to The Victoria Set, he came to visit and with his travels he brought his original mindset, thought processes and humour.

We welcome him with open arms.

We also thought you would like to see the beautiful sky and weather that just so happened to join us today.

Oh Kandie

The new phenomenon that is Kandie has hit the net.

David Walegren, an aspiring director and interactive producer at BBH London, produced and directed, www.kandie.se a series of four advertisements for Bilar, a Swedish brand of sweet.

Tracy Dariane, a student in AUB Lebanon, starred as David's Kandie.

Tanya Mokdad went out to Pimlico to meet them for lunch and grab an exclusive interview. It was definitely a struggle to get them alone, but being her closest friends, they gave her the pleasure and honour of a few words.

Check Kandie in action:

What's eating Nour Naccache?

It had come to my attention that my friend and accomplice Nour had an aversion to Baklawa, delicious Lebanese deserty-sweets.

Our posse was in the process of devouring a whole box of them (which Angela's mother had just brought with her from Lebanon on her last visit), trying very hard to pace ourselves. I couldn't wrap my head around why that was, and I decided it was time for an intervention.

I wanted to help her appreciate these serotonine inducing treats, and I didn't think that would be too difficult, as Nour normally loves everything that has to do with Lebanon, usually in a nostalgically, subjective way. Here is my attempt, and I will not stop trying to convert her.
