World Cup Fashion Issues

I didn’t expect to have fun watching the World Cup matches, but a little fashion touch wouldn’t hurt. Besides a few tight team shirts that I liked for a completely different reason, there’s nothing fashionable to see on the court or around it.

What happened to those Italian guys? It was all about the coiffure before and now suddenly it’s all about football? I don’t get it!

And where have all the WAGs gone? I want to see them clapping from the audience, pretending they understand the rules, all made up, with tones of make-up and a perfect blow-dry. Now, that would be a good World Cup game.

Dubai Summer Surprises

Dubai Summer Surprises – we’ve seen it before, we know what it’s like and we know when it’s coming, so what’s so surprising about it?

Now, that would be an amateur’s question. I took the ‘opening walk’ (as I call the initial visit to the malls when the sales have just started) and I must say that surprise levels are just satisfactory. Not even the articles from the last sale still standing on the same shelves can ruin the excitement of a good bargain.

And if you are still waiting for a piece of couture for pocket money, you’re gonna live one surprise-less life.

Singapore Shopping Festival

I was one of the shopping pilgrims heading to Singapore to grab a piece of Singapore Shopping Festival. All of my favorite fashion magazines said it’s a ‘must-do’, so who am I to oppose? Got a little bored with Dubai sales at the time and decided to stretch my legs around a new shopping mine field.

The number of shopping malls was more than satisfactory (every building has one instead of a parking lot), but what I found inside was not as exciting as I thought it would be.

After a few days of digging through the darkest corners and the deepest shelves, exhausted from all the hope, I was approached by a local woman who was doing a survey on the subject. I couldn’t wait to tell her how disappointed I was, since I came ‘all the way from Dubai’ to spend my ‘hardly earned dirhams’ and look what I got!

Maybe it was a little harsh considering the fact that I came back home with additional luggage.
