The day has come. It didn't seem possible but it has finally arrived. D-day. The day I disagree with you. Completely. The reasons you gave could just as well be your northern neighbour. The eastern neighbour. Your south-western neighbour (which is the same as your eastern neighbour). And your southern neighbours. Actually, the reasons Israeli women don't seem to age well has to do with laboratories in Paris, Milan, Geneve, Monaco and even Tokyo. They come disguised in small beautiful packages with exotic brand names such as La Prairie. Clinique. Chanel. Clarins. Decleor. Lancaster. It's an attitude. Not the physical environment. I am willing to bet one thing. If there is ever peace in the Middle East, I have a feeling that things will change. Competition has a way of doing that.
