The Quran is my Vogue

Today I saw a woman on the train who had worked out this really cool hat-and-scarf system to keep her ears and neck warm. She had a white scarf wrapped all the way around her head, and then a lime-green hat overtop, and it looked awesome.

It took me fully several stops of looking at this to realize that she was, you know, Islamic.


This reminds me of something I saw at an art exhibit the other day -- some guy took fashion photos out of magazines and drew burquas on the women with magic marker. It was by far the most interesting thing in the gallery, but I couldn't help thinking that maybe art should have higher standards of technical ability and talent.

In any case, all the Muslim women who looked really hot and uncomfortable in July now look imminently prepared for winter. That dress-over-pants thing -- brilliant.
