While on her trip to Dubai to inflame more anti-American hate launch her new fragrance at Sephora and attend the opening of a Millions of Milkshakes store with mom Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian thought it would be an interesting experience so see not only what non-synthetic, non-stretch fabric feels like, but to be covered head-to-toe (in something other than bodily fluids). Says E! Online:

Going by Kim’s Twitter account, she’s been having an amazing time and she’s loving their accommodations at the ritzy Atlantis, the Palm Hotel.

But while out shopping in the gold district tonight, the mother-daughter duo decided to try to blend in as much as possible. As much as two famous Americans with bodyguards and eyelashes too long for their veils can blend in, that is.
At one store, Kim and Kris were fitted for traditional burqas, robes that cover from head to toe, and even tried on niqabs, which shield the entire face, minus a thin slit to see through.

But even wrapped up in solid black, Kim attracted plenty of attention. According to an eyewitness, their security team had to hold hands to form a ring around the E! stars as they made their way through the marketplace as people—who at least sounded like fans, anyway—cheered and called out to them.

Kim also enjoyed some more contemporary Dubai fashion as well, busting out new colorful caftans and tunics from Marena y Sol and getting dolled up for dinner and seeing the sights.

“Seriously the woman in Dubai are sooo gorgeous!!! I’m sure @RobKardashian is so jealous he didn’t come w me! WOW these woman are beautiful!” she wrote.

“I was telling my sisters, we’ve got to start up a hotel in Dubai and design all the different rooms and floors,” Kim told reporters during her stay. “I like to pay attention to what my fan base is really asking for, whether it’s hair and makeup, clothing brands…everything I think will be successful here and I look forward to getting to know the people here.”

Kim Kardashian is probably the only American who would think that a crowd of ululating Arabs surrounding them are after your autograph and not your evil harlot’s head.

One more picture of her trying on the burqa, and then some with her mom at the Millions of Milkshakes grand opening:

I totally thought this was going to be about someone else bashing Jessica Simpson’s intelligence (or lack, thereof). No, this is real. Digital Spy says,

Jessica Simpson has revealed that she was recently offered a brain sandwich for a snack.

The 29-year-old, who was filming new TV show The Price Of Beauty in Morocco, said that she declined the local delicacy.

Speaking to OK about the shoot, she said: “We definitely had our moments. Somebody threw a bun in front of me, and I was supposed to make a brain sandwich. You know, that’s not really something I want to partake in!”

The actress and singer added that she loved the country, saying: “The women there are incredible. She stays covered to keep herself for her man, so everything is through her eyes.

“When somebody can carry themselves very confident, sexy, all-knowing, and be completely covered, it’s all about what’s inside of them. It’s about what you define as beautiful. I love Morocco.”

Yes, leave it to Jessica to praise women being oppressed. I’m sure she’d find women getting beaten or killed for being raped or being considered worth less than men not so romantic. Nothing says “I love you”
like a good old fashioned flogging! Here’s a suggestion: Next time, eat the brain sandwich. It wouldn’t hurt to try.
