This is a picture of what I wore to a fashion show a couple weeks ago... nice huh? It is traditional Baharainian garb. I wore the black over the red which was worn over my normal clothes. I wore it all for about 2 hours before I got to take off the black. You know, I have so much respect for those women who choose to cover themselves. And I didn't feel stifiled, I felt secure. I was able to sit there in a room full of people and feel totally invisible, kids dream of doing that. I think in our Western way we're so used to this 'need' to express ourselves that we just imagine that Eastern covered women feel oppressed... I don't think so anymore. Here's a picture of me with it all on...
