@CharlieZ so you admit you bought 1 😂

@HannahSky No. But perhaps it would had been a better idea.🤔

In a visit to Egipt, almost newly married, they offered me 23 camels for her (not a joke, it happened!).
But, ya know, I was younger and unexperienced. 😢

@CharlieZ 🤷🏼‍♀️ at least you'd have gotten those camels you always wanted

@HannahSky All the effect is in the face!
The costume is just a blanket and a headband of wich I would not give details, not without my lawyer here!!

But on that anecdote we had a problem.
I was there cos my then wife was / is (also, besides a singer) an Architect and there was a World Conference at Cairo.
With us came her best friend, and they offered for her only 21 camels.
I was expecting some kind of offended lecture from both women cos the traditional sexist intent of trade.
How naive from me!

The night of that day, during dinner, both friends and colleagues, were bussy discussing the fairness of the camels amount!
