Feeling Kinky??

Saudi for the most part has an image of being ultra conservative, an image that is rightly deserved in some areas. But when you actually live here and know what is going on, in secret and in open, you find out that people living in Saudi aren't necessarily that conservative. This ranges from the expatriates and their swinger parties, or the gay weddings and beauty pageants with cross dressers displaying their moves. Some of these events are cracked down upon by the police but for the most part it goes on and people whisper.

Since the book on The Girls Of Riyadh has been published more has come to light about the dating scene amongst Saudi girls. Here in Khobar they aren't very secretive about it and neither or other Arab girls and boys. Seeing young couples out on a date isn't necessarily an odd event but I do admit when the come in a large group and flaunt their antics it is all this Mama can take but to scream. One might expect this from the Western expat teens but to find it amongst "Muslim" circles is a bit shocking to the system. Although this isn't to say Muslims don't sin, but to be so blatant about it in a "Islamic Society" is more than ironic.

Being kinky doesn't have to be to these extremes a little fun and excitement in the bedroom can fit into the kinky mold. But, again, being in the conservative society of Saudi Arabia with veiled laden ladies one would think the kinky side couldn't be easily entertained. Think again! As I went out with Sister C the other day to a local 'families' mall we stopped in a shop called "Oh La La" not my kind of store for I'm a comfy type of pajama gal but Sister C was going into every store they have in Britain (its only been 3 months for her she'll snap out of it soon). And there in the shop, protected by the single male employee, hung these kinky bedroom get ups.










No this isn't some Halloween costume that has crossed the line of decency, this is a mermaid, come swim with me baby, kink fest. It is hard to see the detail, but believe me there isn't much to it. One snag in that barely fabric covering up her "I am starving" stomach area and this 300+ riyal garment is shredded. And no I don't think walking is the intent of this get up.




You won't find any Christmas tress on display but that doesn't mean that you can look like some puffed up piece of tinsel. A few added holy pieces and a big hoop to make it easier to sit on your mans tree (ohhh hush I couldn't resist) is sure to make any man believe in Santa. Or in the very least that some little elves made this get up.

And just for the women who want their man drunk only on their flavors is one big kinky grape. Those colors may look awful and your man may think you more of a maid than a kinky love girl but at least you have a bunch of grapes to seduce his stomach with. As they say "the way to a mans heart is through his stomach".

No I didn't make any purchases from this store, but as I stood laughing taking these pictures the employee just stared. I don't know if he thought we were totally insane or simply unable to make up our minds and had to show your men the pictures so he could have his choice. On the way out crotchless panties waved goodbye and I soon realized why this comfy pajama girl doesn't go into such stores.
