Her God father is iconic shoe designer Christian Louboutin, who has a house in Luxor & goes there frequently to get inspired.
Here are some of my favorite parts from her interview with Diane Von Furstenberg...
DVF:Elisa, what is the oldest memory you have of yourself?
ELISA SEDNAOUI: I have this image of me in Cairo belly dancing on the kitchen table, the babysitter clapping her hands to the music coming from the radio.
DVF Who is the most important person in your life?
ES I would say my mother. I’m very lucky: she is the most open-minded person I know. I will never forget the day when I was 14 and I had my first boyfriend and she looked at me very seriously and said, “I just want you to know that I’m here for you and if ever something bad happens I will help you without judging you.”
DVF Tell us about your life, your childhood—living in a small Italian village and at the same time among very sophisticated people.
ES It was made of extremes. I learned to adapt myself, from the more cosmopolitan environments of big cities like Cairo and Milan, to small places like Luxor or the countryside in Italy. People live different lives, have different beliefs, senses of humor, and ways of expressing emotions. Life can be lived in so many ways and still I know it would be possible for us to all live together in respect.
DVF What kind of actress do you want to be?
ES I wish to tell stories of our existence. I try to show the great beauty of our soul. Tilda Swinton, Meryl Streep, and Monica Vitti are great inspirations.
DVF In what city do you feel most at home?
ES I feel at home in two diametrically opposite places: New York and Luxor, Egypt. The extremes
DVF If you had one single wish to change the world, what would it be?
ES That people could laugh more.
DVF What is beauty to you?
ES Positive energy.
DVF Ten years from now, where would you like to be?
ES Living in a South American hacienda with my tribe and still inspired to create and enjoy.

this:. It has all the extra features that the i - Pad has too, just fewer apps because it's fairly new compared to the i - Pad. These efforts are incredibly obvious when it comes to the Playbook's strengths as a traveling device.

The Canon 5D Mark III is far better at high ISO than the Nikon D4, period.
With so many additional and better features in the Canon
5D Mark III camera, it is not surprise that it is available
at a much higher price than the 5DMark III camera.
This comes in specially handy when driving a car and you have a i - Pod Touch
stand with you so you can easily slip your phone into that and not worry about it getting
damaged in any manner.
