Me Against the Abayas...

Abayas: a long bathrobe-like covering worn by women in the Gulf; designed to protect men from the wiles of a female figure. I really don't like them for a wide variety of reasons that I won't bore you with. But now it's personal...


Yes, I might have gained a pound or 2 care of Uncle Booz's bottomless expense account, but does the abaya really need to call this out??

Here's more like it. Hair-loose and fancy free. Watch out men...



UPDATE: I should clarify that the guy on the right is Elias. Not a "staring starer" but in fact a colleague who sits 2 cubes over from me and 1 to the left at the office. And if I remember correctly, there was some joke being made at the time of photo-taking about said photo-taking.

Watch out is right! I think the dude eying you in that second photo didn't heed the warning.

Rachel, Rachel - you aren't wearing the scarf right. There is too much skin showing. Fix it or I will take you to the camel souk and they will take care of you - What a HUSSY!
