Photofriday - Feminine
I've been out window shopping - one of my favourite hobbies! One thing that I've noticed lately is mannequins that have their heads removed. I thought it might be an Islamic thing since Muslims are not supposed to make graven images. But nowadays I've been seeing blindfolded mannequins. Is this supposed to make them look kind of kinky? hmmm . . . . Frederick's of Tripoli . . . hehehehe . . . Maybe it's a new kind of khimar (face veil) for the modern and trendy set . . .
I once visited a Turkish Islamic School. When I came to the Kindergarden section, I noticed all the kids playing with Barbiedolls and Action figures - nice and normal, except that all the dolls were headless.
ReplyDeleteWhen asked about it, one of the kids told me it was forbidden in islam to play with dolls if they looked like real humans. So the Kindergarden teacher had them remove the heads of all the Barbies and GI Joes. Then they could play safely.
Now, I am no sheikha or fagiha, but I´ve never heard of such like. Fascinating.
Whats with the short jeans?
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is to illustrate that Fashion is blind ?Syd
