Yes, in general Israeli women are beautiful. That's not why I'm visiting, though... but I am still looking forward to my visit. I hope I can get some interesting tips on here.

you see how picky i am with my shoes, and they only go on my feet!

I will be in Israel for a week starting May 20. I will be staying in Rishon LeZiyyon for most of the time, but will be taking day trips to Netanya & Jerusalem, and also spending 3 days in Eilat. Can you make any recommendations for me while I'm there, i.e. shopping, beaches, activities, nightlife, food, gift ideas (I want to bring some things from New York to give to relatives, as well as stuff to bring back for friends), etc...?

Thanks!

For some reason I thought this thread would be more helpful.

Oh well.

If you have a lady in your life that you would like to shop for, but want something more original than Victoria's Secret, try ParkVogel:

I'm still waiting for mine...

I prefer a simple "Hi, let me know if you need help" to someone following me around, going out of their way to "sell" me their wares, especially if they don't sound like they know what they're talking about, or just lie if they are afraid of looking like they don't know the answer.

Now, before any of you jump in with "nothing, of course!" I am interested in what you think is sexy on the person you are going to bed with.

Also if you know of any interesting "sleepwear" lines for men and women.

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm in NYC so there are definite seasonal boundaries. I don't know if I should actually stick to them. I sometimes wear white after labor day...

If you're 17 and a dude and you don't have a fake I.D. to get into bars and such... you might want to try finding a bodega that will sell you a 40 or something of that nature, brown-bag it and go hang out at Union Square park. There's always a big crowd of kids over there, skating, dancing, whatever.

This reminds me... Would it look funny if I wore them into the fall, or are they more like summer-only shoes?

Thank you, that was very insightful.

hahahah good point, d. i'll make sure he doesn't wear them at the same time...

I've seen them on older white dudes, but I haven't seen too many chicks wearing them. I have a pair of caramel sperry's and I'm not quite sure how to wear them. Today I tried them out at work with a faded jean skirt and a green AA leisure shirt. Any advice is appreciated.

You're only 15??

You know what I was doing when I was 15? Throwing rocks at my neighbor, Robbie Joyner. I sure as hell wasn't thinking about college.

But then again, colleges weren't as competitive way back then. I'm not sure how i got into NYU, but I did, and I still promote going to school in a big city.

Hi, sorry, I was being sarcastic about the Brooks College thing.

Where you live is as much a part of your college education as the classes you take. It is very important in shaping your views of the world as well as shaping your art. There's a reason why Bob Ross painted all those "happy clouds." Just something to think about.

The best thing to do is visit any potential college towns and meet the people that live there, work there, and go to school there. Have you been to Bed Stuy? or Rhode Island? Do you consider yourself a country person, or a city person? You don't want to be bored in the middle of nowhere, but you certainly don't want to have an anxiety attack while in the middle of Metropolis.

THAT said, there are many more opportunities for internships in a big city like New York. But that means that there are more people competing for those positions, and if you get a good internship, the likelihood that you will be paid what you're worth, or paid enough to survive, or even paid at all is slim. But that's what a job at American Apparel is for (where you will be totally surrounded by poor art students that like to drink, a lot). Hopefully whatever internship you get will be worth your time and you will learn a lot.

Hope that helps.

You will have the greatest time of your life in college.

That said, when considering schools it really depends on what your priorities are, both in the short- and long-term. As stated earlier, if you are able to balance your art school curriculum with extracurriculars like staying current with the 3 Rs, as well as joining clubs or meeting people outside of the art world (which can be a bit easier at a lib arts school), then art school would be a good choice.

If you don't feel like you have the focus to do that, then try a lib arts school. I think you will be delightfully surprised at how good it feels to be well-rounded when you leave school. Two semesters of writing, required math, and sociology, etc. may seem pointless while you're up all night cramming or writing a paper, but in the long run they are useful tools in the "real world." Whatever art medium you choose to pursue, you want people to take you seriously, and having a broader experience from which to draw for your art is always a good thing. Plus it always helps to have some kind of a background in business if you are interested in making money with your art.

But I digress. I am a total proponent for going to school in a big city. Between the diversity in culture, people, food, and overall choices you will never be bored. And there are plenty of liberal arts schools in major metropolitan cities that have amazing arts programs. There is no reason you should feel like you have to either choose between Pratt or a place like UWis Madison. Talk about extremes. If you're a decent person, getting chicks or dudes shouldn't be a problem no matter where you go, so don't let that be too much of a factor (but I concur you should stay away from Sarah Lawrence).

So not everyone has the greatest experience in college, but you will never know until you are in the thick of it. I have many, many friends that switched majors (and schools) 3 or 4 times before they settled at a school (or decided that school wasn't for them). But don't forget, there's always grad school...
