She blew the "shisha" smoke upon my face.
I fell in love.
Her hips were fierce and she wore an unapologetic "spray-covered" humongous hairdo.
I fell in love.
She did little but what she did was DA BOMB.
I fell in love.
She showed me the magic of a Baladi Awadi although she couldn´t care less about what we, the audience, thought of her.
Then, I didn´t only fall in love. I proposed to Fifi, one of the biggest icons of Egyptian Dance.
Welcome to a very special blog post which is, in reality, a short & intimate podcast episode telling you about the night I fell in love with Fifi Abdou and proposed to her. Well. Inside my head. I didn´t actually pop the question it burned inside me for a really - awkward - long time.
Listen. Enjoy. Fall in love, too.
