Haifa Wahbe Before the Plastic Age



Assi Hillani knows how to make a hit, and has been cranking them for almost two decades. A decade ago, a new celebrity came to town, she is to be know Haifa Wahbe, that went one to become the Arab world's most sought after celebrity in music, endorsement, movies and entertainment.

But few knew of her earlier career, Haifa Wahbe was a model that appeared in a number of music videos in the 90s. So back then plastic surgeries were not that spread, makeup artists did not even exit back then. So you were likely to meet more natural beauty than a plastic one. Haifa Wahbe might be the first million dollar artist as she has something close to a business empire. But to get there, it was not easy. She earned her stripes and now she dominates the field inspiring a number of clones.

You would not think that Assi Hilani would ever be in a song with Haifa Wahbe, but those would be wrong. They go back way back. Here is the music video of one of Assi's better known songs set in a Bedouin sitting. If you watch the music video through, you will spot Haifa and see what she really look like, not the plastic version of her, but the real more natural look--that's still awesome.
