Dear friends,
I thought you might like to see what I wore for the Halloween party at Peacock Pavilions in Marrakech. I went as myself, well.... sort of anyway.
A 100 year old hand painted Chinese magician's robe, a gift from my father.
An antique Yemeni headscarf.
An Indian bindi on my forehead.
5 agate & silver rings from Mali on 1 hand.
2 dangly coin rings from Rajasthan on the other hand.
Bouvier earrings with a 16th century French poem on them.

I wanted to take a picture of this strange and curious outfit.
First, I tried to look serious.
But that didn't suit me. So then I tried to look like a kitchy vintage Bollywood actress - the kind who are always peeking out of closets, sneaking into rooms or holding an empty glass to the wall & evesdropping.
I almost succeeded with that Bollywood thing. Which made me laugh.
And I ended up looking just like myself.

Dress up, be silly, and wangle yourself a trick (or a treat).
Happy Halloween.
With love from Marrakech,
Maryam
