Happy Monday, everyone! Here’s to the work week. Now that you’ve had your coffee as well as ample time to stare blankly at your computer screen like a zombie suffering from severe allergies, allow me to break up the monotony with another Modern Muslimah post. Today’s hadith is a tiny but powerful one. It comes [...]

I got this request from my buddy Alexis. Now, I don’t watch Fringe, so I have never heard of Astrid, but I loved the screencaps she sent me and was only too happy to fill this request. If you’ve got a request, too, feel free to email me. And now, introducing Astrid: I wish I [...]

:-| You guys. We have a bit of an emergency. I need help. SHE CAN’T TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS CAPTAIN. I was sitting in my Counseling & Negotiations class, being all prim and proper and typing with my pinkies in the air like the lady that I am, when my professor, acknowledging that the [...]

The Ring of the Dove: A Treatise on the Art and Practice of Arab Love by Ibn Hazm My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read an excerpt of this in college for a class, and then got the book and read it in its entirety. It’s beautifully written, although the language after translation may [...]

I’m not sure where all of you are located, but chances are, you’re cold. Wherever you are, you’re cold. Even parts of the country that normally don’t get snow have been blanketed with a couple inches of the white fluff, and the gusts of wind and frigid temps that accompany Frosty the Snowman’s DNA are [...]
“The Happy Prince And Other Tales” Was Insane, You Guys.

The Happy Prince and Other Tales by Oscar Wilde My rating: 3 of 5 stars I’ve been an Oscar Wilde fan for years – since middle school, actually – and have read “The Picture of Dorian Gray” several times, and “The Importance of Being Ernest” so many times I practically have it memorized. I do [...]

Jennifer Aniston: Her Allure Photo Shoot: Inside Allure: allure.com. This made me cackle. Guffaw, really. I thought it was just hilarious. Jennifer Aniston recently did a Brigitte Bardot-inspired shoot with Allure, and they got her talking about her hair dresser, who’s apparently been with her for quite a while. She had some good things to [...]

I’m sitting in Trial Advocacy right now, having kind of flubbed a direct, but whatever, because today is AWESOME. You may already know this, somehow, but today’s inspiration is…SIDESHOW BOB. :-O WHAT. When I came into the courtroom and sat down next to Andy, the mix was playing on my iPod, coincidentally, and he examined [...]

We are starting this Tuesday off with everybody’s favorite peppy blonde, Reese Witherspoon. Well, I don’t know if she’s your favorite. She’s not my favorite. I like her well enough, but my favorite blonde is Carey Mulligan because she is delightful. But Reese is pretty awesome and basically always manages to look cute and put [...]
Business Casual Superstar #357: Modern Muslimah: A Striped Cardigan and Sadaqah [charity]
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged Modern Muslimah on January 24, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Today, I’ve got an outfit that’s for my Muslim sisters (and anybody, really, since “for my Muslims sisters” is just code for “pretty darn modest”). I think I’ll try to put up outfits like this once a week, but definitely once every two weeks. Someone alert FOX News about this glaring and totally terrifying instance [...]
