I can't name too many Middle Eastern actors and actresses but I can tell you one thing, the native sellers at the local clothing market in Dubai have NO IDEA of ANY American stars. While strolling about and shopping, one of the vendors called out, "Angelina Jolie!" I swiveled my head around half expecting to see her tall, skinny, brunette, big lipped self walking by. It was a stunning reality when I realized she was NOT there browsing and that he actually was pointing at ME. Ummmm, I told him that 1) I have never slept with Brad. 2) I am twice her age and 3) I am easily 3 times her body weight. Do the math...those numbers do not add up to anything close! He did not believe me. Really. He did not believe me. Soon all the Sook vendors were yelling, "Angelina Jolie!" It must have been a long day at work or there was some type of hallucinogenic smoke in that hookah.
So I tried on this outfit in an effort to convince them that maybe I was Shakira. (Hey, that's an iota closer!) I shook my big 'ol hips and snapped my fingers much to the amusement/embarrassment of my family and still-no Shaikra. Angelina Jolie, all day. Whatever...shows over, folks. The entertainment portion of the night is over. Move along-nothing to see here.
No real moral to this story-just pure silliness. After a little sun and fresh air today, I'm off to bed. Let's hope that I have sweet dreams of Brad. Cuz, baby, I earned it! xo
P.S. I did not purchase this outfit!
