This post is dedicated to Anglosaxy, in honour of his much-loved homo sapiette series (right sidebar, under the photo of Anglosaxy junior ;) )

When I was growing up in the 1980s, Paris Match used to run a lot of photo essays of Princess Diana and Princess Caroline, often with some variation on the question "who's more elegant?" or "who's more beautiful?"

Here's my Mid East version of the Caroline v. Di contest. It's called Haifa v. Shiri.


Haifa


Shiri

Recently I discovered Haifa Wehbe, the sexy Lebanese pop star whose current hits include "I'm Haifa," and "Kiss the boo boo," (check out these photos on Haitham's blog).

For some reason, Haifa reminds me of Israeli singer Shiri Maimon. Below is a video of each pop star moaning her way through her signature song. Click on the arrow to view, and state your preference (or abhorrence, if you want) in the comments. ;)

Haifa Wehbe: "Ana Haifa" (I'm Haifa)




Shiri Maimon: "Ahava Ktana" (Little Love)
