Virginity fetishism is doomed, boys. Give it up.
The Artificial Virginity Hymen kit, distributed by the Chinese company Gigimo, costs about $30. It is intended to help newly married women fool their husbands into believing they are virgins—culturally important in a conservative Middle East where sex before marriage is considered by many to be illicit. The product leaks a blood-like substance when inserted and broken. Gigimo advertises shipping to every Arab country.

its rare that dubai gets a clear sky such as this so early in the morning. it’s usually full of muck and dust and dirty air. looking at the skyline sometimes i still cant believe and take in how crazy and different it is now. it really is amazing that i had the opportunity to witness a city grow at least 10 times its size (im guessing, i dont know really know) in about 5-7 years. madness. pure madness.
13/05/09. It was beautiful out today. I was driving around in the car with my sister and good music was blaring and it was nice. Really nice.
