• Natalija Verboten
Natalija Verboten is number one on Slovenia’s first program.
According to a poll published by Delo yesterday, 77% of Slovenes said they would spend New Year’s Eve at home with their families. I was one of them. And like any good, red-blooded Slovene I sat and watched the first national program, where hostess Natalija Verboten rang in the new year wearing a dress made of (I think) a flock of emus. If you didn’t watch it, I’m not saying you’re necessarily a bad Slovene… I’m just saying you should be crucified.
In the meantime, Germany’s ZDF was broadcasting its own New Year’s Eve show featuring these familiar faces. It wasn’t by any means their first time on there, but still. A long time ago, I predicted they would do "extraordinarily well" but even I’m shocked by how right I was. Obviously, turbo-folk is the business to be in these days. That and fortune-telling.
I’d actually like to make some more predictions for 2006 (on the grounds that I’m "on a roll") but things are a bit busy, and most of you are probably too hungover to read, so I might as well cut things short. There might be a few more days of silence here, but I’ll return shortly.
Happy New Year.

Sretna Nova Godina! Emu feathers are delicate and tickley, i mean
they break WAY too easily to be a dress, I suggest they could be ranch
ostrich. , the white plumes take dyes well. Nice shot of her btw!I
watched Crosat on the internet and tried to call my fiance but the line
to Sarajevo was messed up, I lost time from my phone card and didn’t
even hear the phone ring! so midnight out time I’ll try again. If that
doesn’t work too bad. I wish I could have afforded a pair of net phones
for us back when, cuz I think I’m the only one who has to be online for
it to work for us. Well maybe next tiem I go there, only the kids get
one each and I get one.
Michael, I still haven’t figured out whether you’re obsessed with the Slovenes’ obsession with Natalija or with Natalija herself
Happy New Year!
Michael,From your descriptions and from previously linked
picture, I’d gotten the impression that Natalya was truly a unique
bird. Now that she’s sprouting feathers just provides additional
evidence of her, ahem, plummage.
SreÄ?no novo leto one and all
Natalija is a goddess
Still, it would be better, if she simply walked in nude :DBTW,
if a diver shows you 1 finger like Natalija did, it means a very bad
thing. 10 bars in the tank (out of 200) and a diver that will soon be
out of air.
Happy, belated New Year!I’m looking at the ZDF screengrab with the sinking feeling that, if Vanilla Ninja could make it big in Germany, then…..
Happy New Year and all the best!!!
Doctor: Natalija, you’re in such robust health. All seems well. Just one question. How many, ahem, enhancements have you bben party to?(Camera moves over to Natalija, preening her feathers and warming everyone’s cockles, lifts her hand and raises one finger)Natalija: Pa druze doktore, sta ne izgledi kao sam jedan?(Why, doctor, sir, doesn’t it look just like one?)
Not the most flattering pic of poor ol’ Nat. I initially rejoiced in the fact that she finally got her very own transvestite impersonator, until I realised that it was in fact the lady herself. And might I also just add that the straps of her gown look like some alarming breed of tropical centipede.Now where’s that saucer of milk?
How much longer do we have to look at this depressing picture of an emu-roadkill with tatooed brows that would make Michael Jackson green with envy? Take her away, purleeease!
Hey, you zepple top. Get to work in dare. This is the same page from last week. What - can’t handle life in stereo ( 2 kids ) ??
Natalija Verboten (= forbidden) seems like a bad joke to me, her
career from Oberkrainer to something like mainstream is absolutely
amazing. <p>Anyway I think you were the lucky ones to have her host the
2005/2006 New Year’s Eve. On the Austrian TV there was <a

with Karl Moik</a>. The definitive special this time was that Mr. Oberkrainer Godfather Moik
was kinda saying goodbye from the TV screens - which then
made him collapse after the show.
