Has anyone else noticed...
... that Caroline Glick's new head-shot in the Jerusalem Post is totally hot?
Wow, what an improvement over her old one.
I used to think she was just brilliant and accomplished, but now... brains AND beauty too! Who knew?
Oh puleeze, grow up people! Don't even try to tell me I'm the only one who noticed this and had this thought! Sheesh!

They forgot the eyebrows. But you're a guy and wouldn't have noticed in a million years. Heh. ;)
*runs for cover*

Nothing sexier than a brainy right-wing chick. Thank goodness I married one.

a. ... Yes I would have noticed. Eventually. ;-) BTW, it's not like she has Larry Derfner eyebrows (his head-shot in the JP makes him look like he's wearing Groucho glasses!)
Doctor Bean... 'Chick'?! I'm guessing your briainy right-wing chick is going to brain you when she reads that. And no I won't delete your comment no matter how you beg me! :-)

I'm waiting for Zahava.....

At least his attention is being diverted in an age-appropriate direction....
(No, NO!, no, girls.... I saw him first....)

I noticed that yesterday too- you read my mind.
Posted by: A | Oct 24, 2006 2:45:53 PM
now we KNOW she needs a body guard :)
Posted by: marallyn | Oct 24, 2006 3:04:53 PM
Zahava... Thanks sweetie. I think.
A. ... That's what I'm here for... to read people's minds. :-)
Marallyn... Let's not get carried away. I didn't mean to sound like some kind of lurker who was going to follow her home from work! I would, however, say that she is high on the list of people I would love to invite home for dinner (and FYI, I think she'd be on my wife's list too).

When I next speak with Aunt Caroline I'll pass along your compliments.

I'm very unique / contrary when it comes to this area. Without exaggeration I would say 80% of the time in beauty product or hair care commercials, I prefer the "before" picture to the "after" picture! Usually the "after" picture is overly styled, stiff, not natural looking. Yecch!
In this case I don't know which of the two pictures you show is which, but the color one is better. Is that the new or the old?
Posted by: Elie | Oct 24, 2006 5:23:36 PM
everytime she (Zahava) says that...it just cracks me up.
Posted by: weese | Oct 24, 2006 6:13:29 PM
Great looking, I agree, but can she bake a cake?
btw: How is her Uncle Sammy doing? Is he still working in Hollywood or has he retired?
(Now let's see who get's that reference!)

You're not the only one... LOL
Shalom,

Ok, WHAT TIME in the morning did you write this post?
I think you still need to get the sleep out of your eyes.
Posted by: jaime | Oct 24, 2006 7:01:37 PM
I had forgotten about that older picture, but I did think she looked nice in her new photo.
Posted by: Fern | Oct 24, 2006 9:27:30 PM
I'm not sure which one's which, but she looks much better in the top one, with long hair.
Posted by: Irina | Oct 24, 2006 9:39:38 PM
Zahava is clearly a goddess, to be so tolerant. I remember walking through a park in Germany on our way to shul. It was a two-mile walk... and the Germans are not particularly oppressed by little things like tzniut. The Jewish chaplain and my husband were doing very well at keeping their attention off of the many scantily-clad beauties scattered about, taking the sun. Then, one stood up. She seemed to have neglected to bring anything but sunscreen with her that lovely day. Their heads spun ("eyes, RIGHT!") as if they were on bungie cords. "Lost it on the blonde, didn't you?" I noted, walking behind with the rebbetzin. Two heads dropped like boys, busted at the cookie jar. When asked how I "felt" about this incident, I reminded a friend that I am glad marrying me didn't wreck his appreciation for the female form. I would have felt bad about that. Come to think of it, Zahava, I am also a goddess!

I think it's the black and white...people tend to look better in black and white photos. Or you just forgot to put your glasses on.
Posted by: cruisin-mom | Oct 25, 2006 4:06:34 AM
She looks about 10 years younger in the top one, and the long hair is a plus. But I still think she'd look better in colour.
Posted by: Chantyshira | Oct 25, 2006 5:28:08 AM
ok...I don't want to sound caddy, but if she is going to get a makeover - why not include the eyebrows?
Posted by: jj | Oct 25, 2006 6:01:05 AM
Grow up means take serious things like innapropirate attractions and objectification lightly as if they didn't matter?
How would you feel if Caroline Glick was hurt by what you wrote and posted her objections in this thread?
I'm sure you considered the possibility and have something profound to say about it.
I'm mean.. I'm not being critical for it's own sake. I really admire the way you are so open with your writing and figure you'll go somewhere good with this.
That's why I'm asking.
Posted by: Andy | Oct 25, 2006 6:41:03 PM
If Caroline Glick was hurt by what David wrote (or, for that matter, by what I wrote about her being a sexy brainy right-wing chick) I swear right now in front of all these witnesses that I will eat my stethescope.
If someone knows her, send her an email to this thread.
Posted by: Doctor Bean | Oct 25, 2006 7:49:01 PM
Jack... In your dreams! :-)
Elie... The color one was the old head=shot and the B&W one with the longer hair is the new one.
Weese... Yeah, me too. I think.
David All... I didn't catch the reference, but I imagine that being a Columbia graduate... an officer in the IDF... a member of the Israeli negotiating team at the Oslo Accords... and one of the clearest thinking minds on the Israeli political right, that Caroline Glick can just as easily buy cake anywhere she likes if she doesn't have the time or skills to bake one.
Maksim-Smelchak... I knew there had to be others out there.
Jaime... Pull those claws back in, girl! :-)
Fern... The odd thing is that they are still occasionally using the old pic.
Irina... Thank you! That's the new one.
Rutimizrachi... Yes, Zahava is indeed a goddess. And yes, I too have been busted.
Cruisin' Mom... Nope, that's not it. The paper version of the paper uses a B&W version of the old photo (I think). It's not that it is ugly or anything. It just makes her look like one of those girls in school that you would think to ask for help with homework before it would occur to you to ask her out. I'm just sayin'.
Chantyshira... The top one is the newer one (although it's always possible that they are using an older picture for the new head shot).
jj... I don't want to sound picky, but I think you meant 'catty' not 'caddy' (unless of course your comment somehow involved carrying around golf clubs). And I really don't see a problem with the eyebrows. It's not like they meet in the middle or anything!
Andy... With all due respect, if I had only started reading her because I found her pretty you could say I was objectifying her. If I had mentioned her physical beauty before her brilliance and her accomplishments you could say I was objectifying her. But to make a perfectly appropriate remark about someone's picture being much more flattering than a previous one... Is not objectifying and does not fall anywhere near the realm of 'inappropriate attraction'. As to what I would think if Caroline Glick happened to read this thread? Let's just say that if she did ever chance to read this post and took offense, I'm sure she would write the most perfectly reasoned request for an apology ever to grace the Jblogosphere. And she'd get one too.
Doctor Bean... Having eaten more than a few things in my life based on rash oaths, let me simply say 'thanks for the vote of support'. :-)
Posted by: treppenwitz | Oct 25, 2006 10:02:36 PM
*Sigh!* There are so few of us with brains and beauty. So where's the post praising me?!
Posted by: Cara | Oct 25, 2006 10:44:17 PM
Jack... In your dreams! :-)
My dreams are in HD. Not that any of this matters.
Posted by: Jack | Oct 25, 2006 11:43:27 PM
Now would you have said the same thing if I was a Man?
Posted by: jaime | Oct 26, 2006 2:38:53 AM
Cara... I figured that since you blog anonymously that you were like a super hero who didn't want anybody revealing hints about how they look in real life. Since I've met you on many occasions and you've been a guest in our house I could certainly attest to your staggering cerebral and extraordinary physical beauty. But do you really want to start chipping away at the mystique? :-)
Jack... TMI
Jaime... Probably not. But be honest, the chances are pretty low that a man would have felt the need to question another beholder's perception of beauty. Quite simply, my comment would make no sense if addressed to a man. That's kinda the point. :-)
Posted by: treppenwitz | Oct 26, 2006 8:38:36 AM
Now whose claws are out?
Thanks for the clarification.
You are absolutely right - beauty is in the eye of the beholder and she is attractive, but I wouldn't go so far to say HOT. But what do I know, I am only a woman.
And btw, it did seem that you were asking if we shared your opinion.
Posted by: jaime | Oct 26, 2006 5:02:19 PM
You think that is TMI. Ok, how about some more digestive tales. ;)
Posted by: Jack | Oct 29, 2006 1:09:04 AM
The top picture much more resembles the way I remeber her (how she looked in grade school) --- although she's much older now, obviously, as am I. What I find most amazing is that she had the same views and clarity of perspective of the world in grammar school as she does now.
Posted by: Anne | Oct 30, 2006 5:52:59 AM
When I first started reading the JP, her page-1 byline was always Caroline B Glick. I assumed that it was really a pseudonym, that Caroline B Glick was her way of announcing just how smart she was -- kinda like Johnnie B Goode.
As for Sammy Glick, well, we're just giving away our age, aren't we?
Posted by: uncle moishy | Oct 30, 2006 8:23:47 AM
First pic definitely more flattering....I don't think I've ever read her, though!
