While on a trip to the Middle East, I discovered that women are not allowed to eat with the men at a restaurant.
I met three lovely young women, wearing their abayas, sitting at a table in Krispy Kreme. I asked them about makeup and they said, "Do you want to buy or put?"
I said, "Both".
In a flurry of excitement, they gathered up their things, covered their heads and bustled me off to the mall next door.
We found the stores closed, as it was prayer time, so one girl pulled her eyeliner out of her voluminous bag and with great giggles and glee applied it to my lids.
In a land where sometimes only a woman's eyes are displayed, makeup becomes an exceptional art.
