HIP Hijab

[Fandango 1,440]

To LisaD and sarah and hicham:

I will comment where and when I choose. Some people have the time and inclination to get up into every single thread; even to carry what I consider rather high schoolish grudges here and there. However, I don't.

Just as I will comment where and when I choose...we can go back and forth on this all day you know. Classic message board bog standard argument. However, telling others how and what to post seems kinda silly since you feel you have that right, but then want to infringe on the same rights of others....especially when the comments and questions were genuine. Yet you come in here telling people what to post.....

'Do as I say not as I do' with you, innit?

If I don't comment on most of the tens of thousands of posts here, rest assured -- it's because a lot of topics don't really interest me enough to warrant a response, even if I had the time and inclination to read them all. The argument "why don't you comment over on that thread" is quite beside the point, and seems to be an attempt to deflect possible criticism here.

This has nothing to do with anything....I don't know why you're going off on a tangent here about other posts. If you're referring to my comment about VP and calling the 7th grader a #######, then you missed the point altogether.

If you've paid attention, you would know that I've had my disagreements with VP. There have also been times when I've agreed with her. Much like any other person here -- you both included.

I do not pay particular attn with whom you disagree and with whom you don't. Nor do I keep a scorecard for you. Despite what you may think, it doesn't matter to me! I really couldn't care less personally...but no one here was being out of line nor was anyone starting a bickering contest...funnily enough, until you showed up casting aspersions on people for asking questions...with your finger-pointing judgements.

I have no interest in playing a VJ version of "Heathers."

Ok, you can play the VJ Board Mommy then...sit on your throne telling the rest of us what to do

By the way, mybackpages is no bandwagonist, either -- and if you think so, you are quite mistaken.

Saw her on the thread a few times before you showed up. Didn't say anything but 'yeah right' after you posted, which I thought was funny. Hence my comment. But let's not get anyone's panties in a bunch.

Both of you seem to have leaped to the assumption that my post was directed specifically at you. But now that you mention it, perhaps you are recognizing something in yourselves.

Oh so now you're playing amateur shrink as well as know-it-all? omG how funny! Perhaps a lil reading comprehension class would help, for you missed the 'if you're referring to me' response at the beginning of my initial response to you. I am not going to let you sit here and cast a blanket statement on all of us who are asking questions, because you're apparantly too backhanded to actually be upfront and say 'PERSON X I THINK YOUR POST IS...'....no, you'd rather assert yourself in such a cowardly way as to not be direct, yet then be slimy enough to respond with 'oh maybe you're recognizing something in yourselves'. WOM, it's not cute, it's not clever, it's not witty...it's actually quite pathetic & I'm quite embarrassed for you. So go look in the mirror and tell yourself that you're not as important as you think you are. Lather, rinse, and repeat until you come back down to earth.

As they say.... "Fling stone inna hog pen... di one bawl out a him it a lick."

I don't speak farmer lingo...sorry!

By the way, mybackpages is no bandwagonist, either -- and if you think so, you are quite mistaken.

I guess i am not very good at the VJ game of insults because I didn't even catch LisaD's comment.

Of course I place more value on some posts than others.

Irony, love it!!!

These dresses make me wish I had some place formal to go

And these I would love for work.

Definately need to schedule a trip to Turkey. Interesting how the best hijabi fashion comes from a country that supresses hijab.

First of all no one ever said anything about MBP. I know her and I like her and I respect her and this has nothing to do with her. Since you don't have time to read everything I think it's nice that you chose this thread as a means to attack Lisa and try to tell us what we can and cannot say or ask here. We were asking her questions and they have nothing to do with you. Thank you so much for taking the time to remind us to respect VP. No one here has shown any disrespect. She's a biiiig girl and if she doesn't want to answer questiont then she doesn't have to. She has already chosen not to answer some withouth you telling us to respect her. The only thing I have learned about myself here is that I am so happy that I have little in common with some of the people here.

Thanks!

The black one is really pretty Rahma. I like the bling on her hijab too, IMO you can never have too much bling. Out of curiousity, how much do these cost? Are the pieces sold seperatly or is it one big set?

I like those last three pictures. Those I would wear..

[RaspberrySwirl 20]

Before this thread gets locked, I wanted to add:

Darnit, I can't see VP in the hot pink err thingie.

And Rahma, my younger sister actually has that blue/white outfit.

What website did you find those pictures at?

[mybackpages 0]

My favorite....and I wouldn't need a party to wear it

[MrsAmera 41]

oooh I LOVE the black and white one! (with the buttons down the front). I can't wait until after I have this baby and can get some new clothes!!!!! YAY! Where did you see these rahma I LOVE them - def. my sense of style.

Unfortunatly, they don't sell them online at the moment. The company is Tekbir. I've been drooling over them for years. I heard they had a shop in Cairo, but couldn't find it The website has turkish, arabic and english sites, and they all have different seasons of clothes. The turkish site usually has the newest, and the english and arabic have the past 2 seasons.

Primo Moda does sell some Tekbir clothes, but not anything I've ever wanted.

Where did she get it? I must have it! They're from Tekbir

My parents are originally from Turkey, but my siblings and I were born in Belgium. They often visit relatives in Turkey during the summer vacation period. The younger sister I was talking about has pretty much been all around the world.
