Male Fashion Show Models Fined for Wearing ‘Indecent’ Makeup

Genocide and slavery OK, lighting makeup for a male model and sharing the catwalk with women - er, not so OK...
But, naturally in the surreal world of the RoP, it’s completely OK to kidnap your compatriots and enslave them:
A Sudanese court convicted seven men of indecency on Wednesday after police accused them of wearing makeup during a fashion show in Khartoum, their lawyer said.
The men, amateur models at the “Sudanese Next Top Model Fashion Show” in June, were arrested by the public order police, a body known for its crackdowns on perceived indecent dress and drinking in the Muslim north, one defendant told Reuters.

Defying Hamas: The Gaza Home Winemaker’s Tale
Amid the gloom and doom of the week’s news, we found a small gem for Sunday – a positive story of a Gaza man and his close friends; who literally risk everything to defy the thugs of Hamas indulge a passion for a truly forbidden fruit:
It has the pallor of petrol and a nose like burning rubber but it tastes, in the words of its maker, like ”success”.
Tawfeeq Mohammed, his nom de ‘fume’, calls it Chateau Zeer Salem, a private nod to a fifth-century Christian poet who loved women and wine.
Since the militant Islamic movement Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in 2007, enjoying a drink in this tiny Palestinian enclave of 1.5 million people has become a high-risk pursuit. Read the rest of this entry »
