Fashion Critic: Subdued Elegance of Narciso Rodriguez

A Foreigner in Syria. Hi I'm from the USA, currently living and studying in Damascus, Syria. My first post, "Why A Blog", explains what this is all about. Keep in touch! Tuesday, December 20, 2005. Iraq, My Neighbor. Though it may by easy to call this woman foolish, take a moment to think about how many pictures of Iraq you. It makes for a very different perspective. The second factor that has really brought Baghdad to Damascus for me are the Iraqis themselves. A huge number of Iraqi refugees have mo...

Clothes, clothes, and more clothes. Would make me stand out as a foreigner - at AUB it made me fit right in! The really creepy part was their clothes: So American!
