Jewish Barbie


Golden Jewish Star on the necklace of Barbie. From filmmaker Tiffany Shlain short film titled The Tribe .
I like the cute design of the logo of the film where the dot above the letter I is in the shape of a Star of David. Imagine that in Hebrew all the dots that stand for vowels ( Chirik, Sheva, Tzere) will be in this shape...

Christian Heart

We see  a tattoo in the shape of a heart above the place of the heart - showing how much its bearer loves it. Looks to me like a unique concept and that's why I blog it here. Following this concept one can tattoo an eye on his eyelids, a hand on his palms...
