Psycho-delic Sheik
Published February 19, 2004

One thing I've noticed from the Arab world is a tendency toward psychedelic colors and patterns. Not White Rabbit psychedelics, mind you, but a more Burt Bacharach, suburban pyschedelica that matches the furniture.
But check out the guy's look. This ain't some Osama-come-lately jazzin' on camo jackets in a cave. No sirree Bob, this guy's been Queer Eyed into a swingin' 90's bachelor hangin' out in his retro love shack. Is that a Lava Lamp he's delicately gripping in a quasi-phallic manner? And get a load of that "come hither" look. As I'm staring at it, I can't escape the feeling that he's about to break out into "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye.
I've been really tryin, baby
Tryin to hold back these feelings for so long
And if you feel, like I feel baby
Come on, oh come on
Let's get it on
You're a real smooth talker, sheik.
