A Backhanded Compliment
One fine day when I dared to wear a short jumper as opposed to covering my posterior with swathes of voluminous fabric, I was met with smiles and admiration from the domestic staff. This was then followed on by comments from the drivers and guards that “you look very nice today Emira jan” [smirk, grim, sly wink]. This was then promptly followed on by comment from female Afghan colleague commenting that I looked very beautiful today.
Finally deciding to enquire as to how and why I was having a ‘hot day’, in hope that I had magically morphed into Heidi Klum overnight, she says, “It’s those jeans Emira jan.”
“In Afghanistan, men and women, we love big wide bottoms just like yours.”
