Lack of Clothes - again

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
Hmm. Well I obviously didn't get the memo as I was asked to leave the Dubai Municipality Public Health building on the borders of Sharjah last week, by Security, for being 'inappropriately dressed'. I asked him to consult with his colleague behind the counter, she confirmed that my dress was inappropriate and I should not be allowed in. I was eventually allowed to plead my case with the head of the municipality building, he said I could come in this time, but next time - no.
I guess you're all dying to know what I was wearing... it was a very mumsy, below the knee, Boden dress, not low cut, with sleeves. I am also very obviously pregnant.

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
Interesting discussions but it's kind of going towards the perversion (natural?) of men who are desperate to catch a glimpse of a woman's body in order for them to discuss and rate them at the pub or something like that...SURELY, women realise this and by wearing modest clothing, you are less likely to be spoken about and looked at purely for how 'beautiful' or not you are?
However, how long are women outside in the heat in order for an abaya to be considered the most uncomfortable thing since sliced bread? Going out to the car, stepping into the mall etc... hardly a ride in the desert is it?
I can also understand the mixed messages being sent out by the 'flirty' females with high heels and open abayas, showing their clothing and the mixed messages by billboards / mall adverts too.
Many contradictions which don't make things clearer here...

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
that's a rather strange comment, I assume you must be somewhat mixed up if you equate the clothes a woman is wearing with a desire to flirt with men in malls. Attention seeking behaviour maybe but anything further is making a quantum leap on your behalf.

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
Very little clothes / flesh = Problem in GCC
non-revealing clothes (abaya or not) = no problems.
Simple enough equation for you don't you think Biggsy?
With the heels things, read Ms. Trotters (fashion editor) article in the National about flirting with heels if you think otherwise, her words, not mine!

Yep, meant attention seeking...

Speaking about yesterday's article.

non-revealing clothes (abaya or not) = no problems.

It's really very simple. You've either got it or you've seen it. It's just a human body, a very natural thing (albeit some are prettier than others).

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
Just a question though, why are people complaining IN the UK and other parts of the developed world about the over sexualisation of society, in particular, the type of attire available to very young people nowadays, what they watch etc...
My very own, British neighbour, WWII veteran also says she'd hate to be a young girl these days, but what does she know? Old bag, right Biggsy?
I suppose everyone is free to decide how they want to dress there, what they watch etc...
Case closed from my point now...

Maybe, but I think this type of society doesn't want to look like the average UK town on a Friday night or anytime of day for that matter.

There's a difference between walking around a mall in a bikini (which you don't see over here anyway) and requiring that a section of society walk around in cloaks, gloves, face masks etc. Get a grip on a balanced reality.

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
over weight people should NOT be allowed to wear anything tight and too small that causes folds of flesh to hang out - like seriously - did they not look at themselves in the frigging mirror before stepping out.
my colleague was telling me that his barbar who's a syrian geezer, was going to a beach bbq on Al Mamzar beach...he decided to wear shorts while driving there...on the way he had to pick up his mate who lived in sharjah....he parked up his car and when he got out to go get his mate a copper clocked him...told him he was inappropriately dressed.....the dude got fined AED 3k on the spot.
