lostartist says:
"Blimpa has been touched by genious.
A surreal and brilliant sense of comedy is what you might see first.
Look deeper and you see a true artist, moved by humanity which is recorded without sentimentality, in her pictures.
I think that is what I meant to say."8th June, 2008

"A complete star !!! - I know her not well, but spend 60 minutes sifting through her photos and you'll see why I'm saying this. *smack*
Oh, and she knows what to do with a casserole."12th April, 2007

""The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."
That being said, if anyone is going to take us to those places where the world has been mysteriously silent, it will be blimpa. I don't know if I've come across someone like her before, she's got a certain type of rare talent that has never let me settle on one description. Incontinent, demure, flamboyant, stylish, restrained, glittery...there just doesn't seem to be one that covers it all. I think I'll just refer to it as blimpaness from now on.
p.s. I never miss any of her episodes on flickr, if that happened the rest of the season would make no sense at all."24th March, 2007

"Blimpa is a tiny Jewish hamster prone to spontaneous combustion and bouts of uncontrollable levitation. After a brief stint as a stunt-hamster, Blimpa has gone on to become one of Israel’s foremost air conditioning engineers. “Blimpa, Blimpa, Blimpa!” sings the cheeky little scamp as she tinkers with a broken humidifier. Yes, yes and more yes, Blimpa’s legacy will be one of joy and quality air.

helveticaneue says:
"on lunch breaks, I ofttimes go through and admire the photo-stories and read the whip-smart commentary-dialogs of the blimpa. she makes me snort, puff through my nostrils, sometimes feel weepy, and occasionally feel like my pants are on backwards, but she always manages turn the day around a little and outshine my instant soup cup."

john curley says:
"Blimpa is maybe the most real person you'll meet in Flickr. Oh, and hilarious, without ever trying to be funny. She is also:
smart
inquisitive
very very cute
not shy
well-read
affectionate and yet distant
demanding and yet forgiving.
Plus, it would seem, lots of other stuff, too.
Be nice to her!"29th November, 2005

Archie Pix says:
"blimpa's photostream is an eclectic collection of playful, sensual and intellectual images. Her comments are irreverent, incandescent, incomparable and a whole heap of words that I had to look up in a dictionary.
Consequently, blimpa has significantly expanded the panty-line of my vocabulary and for that, I salute her."29th November, 2005

Automatt says:
"I came to know the wonder of blimpa through her comments. After spraying cola out my nose and all over the monitor several times, I decided I must warn others. Hence this.
Oh and it turns out she takes great pictures!"22nd November, 2005

"her pics are like a bag of chips !!

P'tit Jo says:
"I'm a big fan of Blimpas picture since her first upload here. I'm always impressed by the humor and the vitality, but also the slightly surrealism speaking through her photographs. I want to say thank you to her for sharing with us."

"Blimpa's pics are like the femme fatales in noir. Gorgeous and alluring but there's always an angle, something else going on, something you can't quite put your finger on. If they had legs they'd go from here to there and back again."
