Queen of the Nile
Friends hoping to see Lola LebCan dripping with gold scarabs and chanting hieroglyphic curses when she arrived back from Egypt at Christmas were sorely disappointed. Rather than see any of the great wonders of Al Masr, the PR princess (now a PR consultant queen) previously barricaded herself upon a leafy island in the Nile, during her extended work sojourn in the land of the Pharoahs.
"You can just about see the pyramids from my apartment window, at least when it's not smoggy. And with a strong telescope," she excused herself at the time.
This time, all has changed. Now best friends with the Sphinx ("the pyramids are amazing!"), Lola has even adopted an Egyptian Arabic twang. Over iced McQahwahs in some ghastly mall cafe, she explains why:
"The problem is that if they hear you speaking in a Lebanese accent, they automatically assume you're a porn star."

What kind of rediculous remark is that?
I should admit that I am still in dark.What SD is talking about?
Lola? Is she retarded ?
Lola? Is she retarded ?
Well, she has voluntarily chosen to work in PR in the Middle East, so go figure...
hidden meaning of story = don't speak in lebanese?
LOL
"The problem is that if they hear you speaking in a Lebanese accent, they automatically assume you're a porn star."
well obviously..if you go around greeting people with "keefuk?"
mmmmmmm... porn star.. (homer simpson voice)
And, HEY! What's wrong with PR in the middle east? Sure as hell beats journalism around here.

The question is not so much which is better, but which is less worse :(
I take back the retarded comment. First read through I got the impression of a very flighty woman whom I had never heard of.
Sorry Lola
PR in the Middle East ... I bow before you my queen.
Nice to hear news from Lola again
Isn't Lebanese an anagram?
I don't mean to sound completely dim, but who is Lola?

Dont be. The archives are there. Read the SD archives, from the very first post, and catch up with SD. It's really interesting I bet.
B T W I love the stereotypes that SD identifies. And even better are the nicks for them like "Sheikhmobile" and "Jumeira Jane"
Lola LebCan is just another nick i suppose.
haha LOLA LEBCAN brilliant SD brilliant!
pshh Lebanese
Why do you need to know Lola to understand this post? Are you guys retarded? It's just a nice little story about a friend of SD's who said something funny.
Is it just me or are Arab women really pretty? Man, they are so damn seductive! It's not just lebanese; in fact, local women covered completely look so damn seductive too!
I need to get married and get a friggin' life!

Excellent, was wondering when Lola was going to creep up again. She is the master of delegation, so goodness knows how she will be a consultant?!
Why did god have Jesus born in Bethlehem instead of Beirut?
.....
Because he couldn't find any virgins in Lebanon
That has to be the lamest joke I've ever heard
lmfao. good one bro
