Introduction
Moving to the United Arab Emirates was probably one of the most exciting things that I have ever done. True, in 2008 I was still too scared to return to America, so I thought that Dubai would be a great second best. (I realize that some of you may not be familiar with my background at all, so please feel free to check out my website for details, and for your convenience, I have included chapter one of my memoir, Bangles: My True Story of Escape, Adventure and Forgiveness.)
So many exciting and delightful things happened to me in UAE. But in this book, Legally Blonde in UAE, I want to share just a few of the funniest stories from that period of my life between 2008 and 2014. Now being a natural blonde myself, means that I have heard nearly every blonde joke possible; and I have always taken the time to laugh with everyone else. But sometimes, I really believe that some things in life happened to me—just because I was blonde.
