#YOLO

Yitish, #YOLO. You only live once. Enjoy it! You are meeting U.S. President Obama tonight! Yes, you heard it here - Miss Israel meets the Presi of the USA, who is in Israel on an official state visit. And we at Beauty School LOVE Yitish and we LOVE Obama! Hence YO (Yitish and Obama) and LO (Love Obama) - our take on the popular hashtag #YOLO. Yitish was asked if she fears that First Lady Michelle Obama will get jealous with her talking to her husband. "No, I am not worried. She is a beautiful woman and she looks like a model, really...I don't think she will be jealous," said Yitish.

BBC News Magazine, 21-Mar-2013: It's been an astonishing three weeks for Yityish Aynaw, an immigrant orphan from Ethiopia, who became the first black Miss Israel last month, and has now been invited to Thursday's gala dinner with visiting US President Barack Obama. When Yityish Aynaw arrived in Israel as a 12-year-old, winning beauty contests and dining with presidents was as far from her thoughts as her native Ethiopia is from her adopted land. Her mother had just died, leaving her an orphan - her father had died years earlier. So her mother's parents, who were among thousands of Ethiopian Jews already living in Israel, arrived in Addis Ababa to fetch Yityish and her older brother. In their new home, they had to learn Hebrew from scratch. More @ BBC News Magazine.

 Luv ya, Titi!
