I’m still ashamed by the fashion disaster organized from my parents failing with their first school dress for me in the year 1951. No apologize.

My finding of the day: the article by chittlechattle at http://chittlechattle.wordpress.com/2011/10/27/any-of-these-bring-back-memories/: about 100 years of FASHION and the question:
“what was your worst fashion disaster?”
I’m still ashamed by the fashion disaster organized from my parents failing with their first school dress for me in the year 1951. No apologize. Maybe that no one was rich in the post war Germany 1951 in Wuppertal. So far the worst fashion excursion on my skin. And the best? My wife and me more than hundred years ago? [taken on an Octoberfest in Munich]

yes the VIDEO is great: not only featuring fashion but also on the other hand the typical dancing styles; and the faster those history flashbacks are organized the more one has to laugh;
in Germany we have poem

What is the word for the cone? Is it filled with sweets? I used to see those for sale when we lived in Germany but never knew what they were and feel stupid now realizing I never asked.
The video was great but the photo of you in 1951 is a classic! And your wife in the car is a wonderful shot too. I shared your blog with friends so they can read it as it is always good.

hi RUTH,
normally the cone “Schul-Tüte” (in Germany on one’s first school day) was filled with sweets – but my parents had none – so they filled the cone with paper to paint on …

O.K., in Dubai you have a lot of fashion – for sure no Halloween party (?) – but how is about DANCE in an Arabian country? Belly dance? Sufi Whirling Dance (a form of meditation)?
LikeLike
Halloween Party is not part of Arabic culture but since there are so many expat who celebrates it there are parties here and there.
Fashion for women here is evolving in terms of shape and embellishments on their black abayas.
Emirati (UAE) dances for men are usually like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kn3k0_tWjw and for women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENptnJp0eIw&feature=related.
For exclusive parties, I see belly dancing but not really a national dance for Emiratis. The Sufi Whirling, the one I posted on my blog http://ittakes10k.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/1-419-of-10000-define-a-magnificent-performer was seen in Egypt but I think it’s also available in Dubai.
