Faux Pas Are Almost Inevitable When Traveling, Even For Michael Jackson
I admit it, I read the Daily Dish on the San Francisco Chronicle website. You don't? Well, then you may not know that earlier this week, Michael Jackson, who has been living in Bahrain, made a fashion faux pas by wearing an abaya robe, which is traditionally worn by Muslim women at a mall.
The Daily Dish reports that "While Prince Michael I, Paris Michael and Prince Michael II had just their faces covered, the superstar was dressed head to toe in the loose, black abaya, traditionally favored by Muslim women in Arab regions.
In November, Jackson caused a media storm when he entered the ladies restroom in a shopping mall. His representative later explained the singer did not understand the Arabic sign and mistook the bathroom for the mens."
