I love the moment at 0:46 when there is a shot of the horse’s tail in slow motion.  That shot and the sullen, dark looks of Prince Abdullah bin Meteb of Saudi Arabia, a professional rider, add resonant sensuality to this ad for Saudi telecommunications company Mobily.

In the land of fast cars, glittery hijabs, and oversized designer-etched sunglasses, such is the obsession with Blackberries and iPhones, that it is said the latest trend at Kuwaiti wedding parties (all female) is to trot back and forth along the dance floor, gadgets in hand, head immersed in a virtual world, wanting to be [...]

After some effort, I am  finally on my way to the National Gallery to see the Delaroche and Lady Jane Grey exhibition. The taxi driver is a woman and she drives like an Egyptian in Cairo. I have never heard anyone blow the horn so repetitively as my female taxi driver did today.

According to the NRC this weekend a new sex web-shop will be launched by a Dutch team geared towards Muslims.
I don’t see why there should be a strictly Islamic sex shop. It sounds like  a clever business venture to me. What couldn’t people in the Netherlands get for all their intimate needs? Unless it was [...]

I found this film  to be more disturbing than funny. I am not a particular fan of Jim Carrey but I did see the movie with the intention of coming away with a lighter heart. It left me thoughtful and disturbed. Was it an accurate portrayal of a gay relationship I wonder?

They kept an ostrich on the farm. It was not a Western style farm, nor an Eastern style farm for that matter. In fact, it was not really a farm but a walled weekend home in the desert. It was nothing fancy, certainly not luxurious by modern Kuwaiti standards. But it had all modern day [...]

When any of us mentions the word cancer, our voice level tends to go down and the word reverberates in the air like an anathema. Many of us would opt not to go for cancer screening simply because we are afraid of the results. Often, however, early detection and treatment does save lives.
When someone you [...]

Do I enjoy going to wedding parties? Sometimes.
My enjoyment depends on several factors I suppose. The main factor is whether or not I am in the mood. If I am in the mood, this is enhanced by a luxurious trip to the salon where I am pampered, primped, and prepared for the event. Most women [...]

I wonder if this site actually works?
Some women use PMS to excuse irritable, maddening, inexplicable, and oftentimes downright outrageous behaviour.
Oftentimes the men in our lives are perplexed or driven to retaliatory action when faced with  women experiencing PMS.
