Mamilla Hotel Jerusalem
“Where luxury, lifestyle and heritage meets”
Located in the heart of the City, with magnificent views of the Old City walls, the Tower of David, Jaffa Gate, and alongside Jerusalem's new shopping and entertainment experience, the Alrov Mamilla Avenue. Mamilla Hotel, the newest of luxury hotels in Jerusalem, brings world-class superior design and lifestyle hospitality to Jerusalem and Israel. Guests and visitors will enjoy exceptional accommodations together with exclusive restaurant and bar venues, a Holistic Wellbeing Retreat, as well as events and banqueting spaces, that blend sophistication and modern international style with the unique and rich culture of Jerusalem.
This has been Jerusalem’s premier hotel since my time of conscription. And it has been clicking with a lot of people, probably due to the following Popcorn trends…
1) Cocooning- Jerusalem is a pretty tough place I remember searching for bombs 24/7 in the Holy Land, and with settlement issue riots that come with too. My experiences there have induced paranoia. But every time I step into the hotel, my worries of outbreaks, IEDs, warfare, riots and etc, disappear. During that time, I could be a normal 21 year old.
2) Anchoring- Mamilla gives extravagant guests a chance to be in the Holy Land, where all the religious convene. The Mamilla shopping alley has products like a menorah designed by Jackson Pollock, or Star of David pendants designed by jewelers like Damiani or John Hardy.
3) Egonomics- Like all kinds of hotels, Mamilla has basic hotel services like airport transfers, business centers, lounges, gyms and wellness center. But made it different from my other stays in hotel is their personal host service, my host was like a butler, tourist guide and human Google. Very personalized indeed and he was also hot, so personalized eye-candy.
4) Pleasure Revenge- Mamilla is a very happening place from what I remember. They had good bars where the young and the “religious” hang out. Touring the old city gets a bit restricting, like you can’t curse in the religious sites, cant gossip, can’t wear hoochie clothes and etc. Mamilla gives you a chance to be religious by day and hypocrite at night.

Finger in the Nose
I super love the name of this children’s clothing brand, totally got my attention. Great marketing ploy. A great reason for me to get accidentally pregnant and got to the trendy High Marais district to shop.

This Brand employed the following popcorn trends.

1) Pleasure Revenge- This brand gives parents the chance to be unconventional. Give those kids an unconventional “rock-n-roll” vibe and not be too pa-cute. This gives parents to dress their kids like their “mini-mes” im not even sure if the kids will totally love the outfits they sell, since they are still in love with that drugged purple dinosaur, but I know for sure that their parents will.
2) Save our society- their website keeps stressing that their products are sourced and mad from Europe. We get it!! Their brand doesn’t employ sweatshops in china or Vietnam that unlawfully employs children. And it gets to redundant how the stress that they use quality organic cotton.
3) Small indulgences- it’s not Oshkosh Bgosh. Pretty pricey for children’s clothes, but they look so cool and the claim to be really comfortable and functional.
4) FemaleThink- stain-repellant fabrics means less laundry time for overworked mommies. Let’s us not forget that is it also water-reppellant and antibacterial! Wow!

135hp Ecosse Iconoclast
Iconoclast is the sexiest motorbike. It’s not as cheesy as the Harley Davidson and its biker boys.

Why is it cool? It’s follows some of the popcorn trends

1) Pleasure Revenge- . The engine is turbocharged for even more grunt, and feeds into a Baker Torquebox—one of the few motorcycle gearboxes able to handle sportscar levels of power- very dangerous! Very expensive- £44,000.00 (US$69,000)!

2) S.O.S- It’s machined from solid billet aluminum, and wrapped in a hand-welded custom frame that also stores the engine oil. The bodywork is carbon fiber; suspension comes from the favored brand of MotoGP racers, the Swedish company Öhlins. Lesser weight=less gas consumption


3) Clanning- owners of this bike have a club, like the Harley boys!

4) Down-aging- the buyers of this bike are old, probably with broken backs and heart conditions. This bike is not recommended for them. It might be a way to relive their youth I guess.
