I like her Night of Jordanian Treasures dress. She does not often wear skirts which show her kness - she has great legs! and such sexy shoes.

Could you please post the video from oxford, I don't think I've already watched it.

The woman with the Queen is her personal assistant. She's always seen with Rania on shopping trips.

Jordanian treasures showcased in Paris

Also on Tuesday, Queen Rania attended a signing ceremony between the JRF and UNESCO, as well as a JRF fundraiser, in Paris.

A carpet for the queen

In January last year, brand Divinas, which makes handicraft out of banana tree fibre, made an unexpected sale: a 100-square-metre carpet, weighing about 350 kilograms, to queen Rania, of Jordan. The deal was made soon after the company participation in fair Maison et Object, in France.

. . . According to Regiane, apart from the different material - banana-tree fibre -, queen Rania was also enchanted by the design and by the social project that is behind the product. Divinas was an economic and environmental solution to a group of small artisans from the Ribeira Valley. "The region is very poor, and lives practically off banana. As Brazil is facing the competition of countries like Ecuador for exports, the workers have been facing difficulties. With handicraft, they managed to improve income, and now make around 1,000 Brazilian reais (US$ 500) per month, and can also have financial stability," stated the businesswoman.

Regarding the environmentally responsible characteristic, the work out of banana fibre makes use of material that would become garbage as, after the bananas are picked, the trees have to be knocked down. "A tree does not yield a second harvest, the banana tree has to be cut, and that is where we come in, we use the fibre to make our products," explained Regiane. Brazil-Arab News Agency

Oh my goodness, is it just me or does Rania's upper lip look like she's been stung by a bee hive???? It looks aweful!!

I'm talking about her latest pictures in Paris at the UNESCO event.
That's too bad that she's doing this to her face. Her lips were beautiful before, now they just look so fake!

amina1 · #19 04-10-2007, 08:56 PM

you're comment is so funny, well I noticed that too.

Humera · #20 04-10-2007, 10:08 PM

I wouldn't worry too much as I doubt the look is permanent. You can tell from this picture, and this one, that Rania has simply drawn with the lip liner outside the outline of her lips (common trick for making lips appear fuller), plus she's using a very shiny gloss for a pouty look.
