Is Tunisian Belle a real person?

Question

or is she a made up character.

how come she got to be a feature user?

Answer 1

Yes, she is a real person... she has helped me for a long time... she helped me move to tunisia, to get information that i needed to marry my wonderful tunisian husband, and continues to help me get him to the usa... she is a fantastic contrubution to the Y! community..

Answer 2

Yes I am a real person.

No, I am not made up - only my avatar is.

To answer you from your answer to another question,

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

no I am not a tour guide here in Tunisia, nor do I have any desire to work as a tour guide here in Tunisia. However, if I could find a job with the tourism office I would like it. I could never accept it though because I have young children at home and I prefer to take care of them than work. Besides, I haven't worked in almost a full decade! LOL I come on YA for fun.

I do not know why I got picked to be a Featured User.

At the beginning of the month Yahoo! Answers UK & Ireland contacted me asking if they could feature me in their blog and talk about Tunisia. I agreed, and we corresponded back and forth with them asking me questions about Tunisia, and me providing photos. They had me featured in their blog since last week, and it is to be a two part blog. The US Yahoo! Answers must have liked the post since they put me up yesterday - but as far as I know they will not follow on with the second half of the blog from the UK & Ireland site.

Yahoo is looking for people to be the next Featured Users. They want people whose answers make a difference and really help others.

In case you still do not believe I am a real person, you can check out my sites, although most of my information is available only to my contacts:

Answer 7

She is very real, it's been my pleasure to have known her for over a year!

lol - please don't tell me I email with a made-up character!

She got to be a Featured user because her answers are consistently helpful and knowledgeable.

She got chosen as a featured user because either someone put her name forward as a person to be recognized OR Yahoo finally noticed!

More than likely it was a combination of both!

She got picked for her insightful experiences and knowledges.

Answer 12

Heehee..yes, she is quite real! I have known her for almost 2 years now here on Y!A..very helpful about a myriad of topics; that is why she is a feature user.

Answer 14

Yes she is a real person. I have had the pleasure of talking with her before. She is very helpful and nice. Why would you think she is not real?

Answer 15

Hey man!

Of course she is a real wonderful person, a real nice woman. An American who lives in Tunisia and so helpful and thoughtful to others.

I had a good experience with her when I intended to travel to Tunisia and she was a big help for me, even privately (I mean via private messages). Although I missed the chance of meeting her and her wonderful family when I was there.

She has a wonderful humane touch and a nice practical experience with critical issues like pregnancy, weight loss and travel by airplanes.

And finally she is one of the biggest contributers in Yahoo! Answers site.

God bless her, her hubby and kids.

I am so delightful to know her

Answer 16

Yes she is very real!! I don't know the criteria to be a Yahoo featured user however, her answers are always intelligent and insightful.  She is an excellent writer who keeps people interested in her topics whether it's travel, Tunisian culture or her family.

Answer 18

Of course, buddy. Tunisian Belle a.k.a. Jamie Hassen is as real as you and me. What made you doubt her existence? About how she got to be a featured user, well, her Qs&As history and best answer percentage have clearly spoken for her.

Answer 19

Yes, she is a real person. I know her and have known her for a while now. She is a dear friend and we have shared a lot about our lives with each other. I can't wait to meet her in person one day but we currently blog and keep in touch with each other at a blogging/networking site.  She has mailed me stuff and once I get my act together I will mail her some things too.  

She got to be a featured user because she has HER act together and has contributed a GREAT deal to the Tunisia section here on YA for quite a while now.

Have a nice day~~~~~~~

Answer 20

Yes she is real.  She is a wonderful person, a loving mom, and a great friend.  She was shocked to be chosen as a feature user and isn't quite sure how they chose her.  But Congrats Jamie, you deserve it!!  ((HUGS))

Answer 21

She is real doll I promise you! She is my friend for some years now.

Answer 22

Yep :o)  she used to post in the Ramadan section a lot a couple of months back.  And her Q & A were always very good ... a very good choice for featured user, IMHO.

Answer 23

Tunisian Belle, has been my contact for very long! She IS real.

We got in touch because of some question I asked about being afraid of flying. Since then, we have become close contacts. She IS real.

AND a wonderful person!

:-)

Answer 24

yeah definitely a real person .. im glad she is a great user and her answers are so accurate. I also met her so i know she is of flesh and bone.

and that is so creepy you are asking she is doing such a wonderful job to actually show people how beautiful this small little country called Tunisia and how wonderful it is :)

Answer 25

Why would you think she isn't real??

Answer 26

Yes, Jamie is real!  I know her personally.  And you are creepy for posting the question.

Answer 27

yes she's real, I've 'known' her since 2006 (via the internet only, not in person)

I guess she became a featured user because she deserved it, she writes great blogs and I know that through my experience of being connected to her on 360.

Cheers

Answer 29

Of course she's real, flesh and bone and a great person!! LOL I'm guessing you posted this question to get a little more popular how could anyone doubt who she is if they've had an opportunity to speak to her online.

She became a featured user because of the quality of postings/answers etc she's a prominent member and I'm glad to be able to vouch for her and her great character.

Answer 30

Yes, she is very real.  She is a beautiful, American gal living in Tunisia and she is very knowledgable about many things.  I first met her here at Yahoo answers and we''ve kept contact since.  She's a featured user because she's very smart and helps a lot of people.  Try not to be so jealous...:P
