HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARBRA STREISAND


It just turned 24 April in my part of the world. Today is a big day for someone on the other side of the world. The Barbra is going to celebrate her birthday together with her friend Shirley MacLaine who also has her birthday today. Barbra was born on 24 April 1942 in Brooklyn, New York as Barbara Joan Streisand, but she prefers to have her name spelled incorrectly. The old girl has inspired me since we were both young.
A world without The Barbra would make me all farklempt, it would be a total chorbn, a fahkakte kappore.
It’s not just her singing or her acting and directing that I love, but I love her for who she is. I also love her more than a bisel. I love her more than all people that I love combined.
I think she’s beautiful. Everyone who talks bad about her gets cursed by me in my best Yiddish: A broch tzu dir! A choleryeh ahf dir! A shandeh un a charpeh!
Since I live in Thailand I even grow my nails like The Barbra. A farshlepteh krenk but I wanted to pay tribute to her nails by creating a similar hand-look. Our fingers are equally long, very long and if there’s something about me that looks just a little like The Barbra, it’s my hands. Every time I see my hands I think: Barbra, our Barbra, The Barbra. I love you.

God created many voices, but She was most proud the day she created the voice of The Barbra. God listened and thought: wow, this is my best work of art so far and it will be difficult to top this one. It’s perfect.
God created the concept of beauty and then created The Barbra. And God had a look at it and listened to Her creation at saw and heard that it was good.

Dear Barbra, I know you love to read my web log, so I am saying to you: A gezunt ahf dein kopf, Barbra! Bei mir hust du gepoylt. You’re not a dummy and you made it and everybody is shmeichling you now. A leben ahf dir! Mazzletov.

I collected a few photos of the old girl. I love it that she doesn’t give ein bisel about her aging looks. Good for you! Gezunt!

    1. Nothing special really. Just cheap transparant nail polish, and transparant nailpolish mixed with a bit of white nail polish for the tips.
