Sheherazade, listening to a running history on your headphones as you travelled eh... gosh, it does sound as though you were terribly well-prepared and organised... are you really sure you are somali? And you write beautifully... amazing that you whipped that out in such a short time... what's the idea behind painting the houses blue by the way? It looks simultaniously eerie and wonderful... fascinating!

I never trusted anyone who wasn't a raving ego-maniac.

I cannot wait to go back for a holiday and and speak nothing but my mother tongue, and feel part of the majority rather than a puny, disliked minority... Oh and of course to tell the dhalinyaro, magnificent tales of what it's really like here... for example, my personal income has to be moved around with majarafat, what with there being so much you know... and I shall personally de-flower the pick of the bushmen boodhle youth... After all , what is a British holiday without a holiday romance?

Skinny leg jeans. Wicked. With a Somali figure in mind, I couldn't find anything cheaper than £60... Levi's, Topshop, or any of those other high street usual suspects just wouldn't cut it, I had no desire to look like a hippo you see ... suggestions? naden... who stocks your Origins moisturiser?

I saw one of the Brit nationality men released from Guantanamo being interviewed on the Islam Channel... very articulate, pious man it seemed... he said the hours of claustrophobic confinement with the guards meant a lot of gaal conversions... the man just oozed peace and dignity,... I'm not at all surprised... Funny, the aim was to break these young men in Guantanamo, instead they came out with their own hostages so to speak. :cool:

Absolutely devine mosque architecture, makes me want to prostrate myself in one immediately, and I haven't prayed in a mosque since 1977... Great photography on your part, thank you for taking the trouble to post them... except, you don't appear to be in any of the snaps, unless you are in fact Indian but never told us...

^ This is what it is to post bravely. *HIGH FIVE* sister... MWAH! Having said that, I'll bet MY macawiis is way kooler than yours...

^ I am somali after-all. PS: I never figured you for the matronly one Lazie... I will take it out if and when I please... at the moment, that is not my wish... god forbid a sudden draft should catch me out there... same reason I don't wear skirts out either...

Originally posted by WILDCAT: [QB] Originally posted by Castro: Unless he's calling you uncivilized . This is correct. Uncivlised by Bushmen standards that is... Don't you know talking too loudly or expressing herself forcefully when addressing men can classify a woman as heathen? The somali usage of this word plays by it's own rules in anycase... Anyway, how do you know what I am or am not... I could well be the exact dictionary definition. And you don't wanna ask strangers that question. As I said, the wearing of the macawiis is left to ME. Pay attention, young one.

Baashi thinks me a heathen... So I will confess... *stands up* my name is Wildcat, and I am a heathen. *sits down* My heathen tendencies are apparantly demonstrable by the fact I wear macawiis on occasion... Introduce yourselves please and tell us what might qualify you as a certifiable heathen... don't be shy now... can't be as appalling as a ladish girl wearing macawiis... reckon you could top me...?

Originally posted by Baashi: WILDY wearing MUCAWIS huh! Whatta sight. If she only has a nice kub and dib ... My legs do the job of holding me up, yes. And my bottom is behind me where it should be... How are YOUR kub and dib darling? Wlc back WILD...for the uninitiated nomads, "the" heathen is in the HOUSE I hear I may have some similar minded people around here nowadays... where are they? Why don't they introduce themselves...? I think this demands it's own topic actually...

Originally posted by Digaale: Isnt there like a law against cross dressing? If there isnt' there should be one, cuz i dont want to see any xaliimo with a macawiis! kabish It should be banned from the jelly-boys who bring a very nice item into disrepute. I'd bet if I poked ya', you'd wobble for weeks.

Originally posted by Legend of Zu: ...Am sure London Boys can object to such allegations - Yes - you heard it right...I call it "allegations" with the hope that they [Londoners] will disproof your notion of jelly behinds. I have heard no objections so far. Aside from that, we need a proof that you look good in it..otherwise we have to assume you will look odder than a somali fella with a 'leso'. I shall consider this. I would have to suitably diguise myself or blur my face to avoid being lynched in the streets by offended jelly boys. :eek:

Originally posted by sheherazade: Wildcat, the sarong/kanga far outfoxes the macawiis. Durable and multi-purpose. If I ever come round yours though, lay a fresh macawiis out for me. I'd give it a wrap. I may just do that to go out in. However, half the fun is seeing people's reactions, brightens up what might otherwise be a dull evening. One has to amuse one's self when indoors behaving well for the nanas. Easiest way to be contrary, but through the use of a garment, rather than other means. It's a way of controlling my urge to wreak havok and wind people up out of sheer boredom. Macawiis[/b] wearing is in fact an act of selfless kindness and charity on my part. I am baffled as to why I'm not being congratulated and thanked. People are strange folk. And CHE', that lady has puny ostridge legs and clearly has not used enough diana, remove the offensive pic from my thread at once. You could at least have put up a decent woman possesed of tree-trucks with plenty of fur, I vastly approve of fur, and skin as white as blotchy see through tracing-paper. Far more pleasing, most becoming in any garment.

Originally posted by Johnny: Deeply i think the thing is just as feminine as a skirt. WildCat, please expand on that masculine manner!! The only use in masculinity it offers is the ability of splaying legs and presenting the crown jewels to poor unsuspecting dhoocilo, a facility trousers do not offer. Then there is the letting it slip Cara mentioned earlier... the faarax[/b] version of dropping a handkerchief to show interest/availibilty...

Perhaps I have become too fish and chips for my own good... you will need to jilci "leso" for me Zu... I assume you do not mean the shortened english word? If you do - :eek:

You wouldn't be the first to look Cara, I shan't be offended not to worry. It was a slip of the keyboard on my part - I can only apologise for the insult! :eek:

Originally posted by sheherazade: I live in kangas. Ah. Try macawiis for loafing about at home - longer, warmer, can wrap your feet in it when sitting, quite nice, and comes in more variety of colours and designs than silly too short PJs... Oh and you'll look better in it than most somali jelly boys...

^ You are a man of insight who speaks true words. My intention is not to mimic - that would be foolish, it is to demonstrate how it may be done better, badder, and even elegent - god forbid that should be done with a macawiis.

^ I didn't say I was trying to become an imbecile, I said I enjoyed the looks of a particular garment on ME, someone who does not posses offensive dangly bits, only unbulging topshop girl-boxers. Want to put that in your qaad bac and chew it.

^ Hello my darling. strangely enough... I have found kilts most appealing as well... it's only those fair blond men that ruin it. Hah hah! And incidently, I reckon I look better in it than most Somali guys, who appear to have softer, far larger jelly asses than I do... what the bleedin' heck is THAT all about dudes? They been fed too many female hormones or WHAT?

^ It is a matter of dexterity, you do not have to hurt anybody's eyes unless that is your full intention. And it's hardly comparable to wearing a diric for Ciisa's sake, the thing is a bloody skirt for all intents and purposes! I question the ideas of which ever males started this off - they clearly had raging cross-dressing tendencies. :eek:
