Our birthday month, also known as the most lively month, is the perfect opportunity to discuss the talk of town;

As any other event, we’re only here for the fashion. Critiquing Fashion looks is our bread and butter, our speciality, what we are born to do. 🧈
Proof:
Here are our expert thoughts on the Venice Festival’s fashion looks;

Something is extremely intriguing about this.. maybe it’s the linen 🧶
Speaking of Kate Hudson, she was one of the guest stars invited to the Red Sea film festival dinner at Venice..
This dinner stirred up our rage towards
عقدة الأجنبي
If you are not aware of this phenomena, it’s basically the belief that foreigners are always superior, and that their stamp of approval is an appraisal we should always cherish.
How was this belief formulated? Was it the media influence? Is it an underlying power of theirs? Or is it because “they’re way ahead of us”?
We, as in Shawg & Abeer, always get that sense of excitement whenever a blonde person praises our nation or is seen with a Saudi. Nevertheless, we also feel that their validation is not needed and that we are confident regardless.
Our eye-opening journey:
Their admiration mattered by 70% back in High School. 📈
Disney subconsciously made us believe that their school systems and lives were what happiness and progression looked like.
Their admiration mattered by 50% back in 2017.
Social Media uncovered the reality of living a western lifestyle; the bullying, depression and anxiety that was never portrayed in the shows or movies we consumed in school.
Their admiration matters by 10% now. 📉
Being brought up with an idealistic image of westerners, led to extremely high expectations. However, working with them for the past 2 years revealed their imperfections. In a way, we are relieved, because hey, if they can do it, so can we. And on the other hand, we are disappointed that we didn’t come to the realization earlier.
Let us know how much their validation matters to you now? Be honest!
