I’m off to a ball tonight. And, just like Cinderella and a gazillion other women before me, I have spent way to much time thinking about what I’m going to wear. This isn’t always the case, usually on such an occasion I would bring out “The Feathers” (Henry Hotdogs favourite) but apart from the fact that my black tie, plucka duck is dying a slow malting death – there is also the problem of cleavage, the dress is a maybe too low cut and I’m always a little self conscious when I wear it.
Here is the very fabulous Sheikha Al Mayassa, who explains her wearing of the Abaya and life here in Qatar. I was in the audience on the night she gave this speech. I love her. LOVE her.
