Okay, this is pretty damn funny. About two dozen Russian models were in Dubai for a photoshoot, and were staying at the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah. Not surprisingly, they took a ton of pictures of themselves for Instagram around the pool, in bathtubs, etc. (assuming they actually live in Russia, I imagine Dubai is…

Typical Arab hypocrisy. Who do you think hires these Russian models to be there?
It's not arab hypocrisy. It's religious hypocrisy. Religiono gives you power to control people if you act and make them act a certain way. So you have arabs denouncing the hot white female as immoral and then hiring them as call girls in the evening. And then using Islam to justify to your filthy heart (like isis)
Christians do it too. Watch all the family oriented republican hypocrites cheating on their wives, taking bribes etc. Happens most often in the south. (And don't give me example of weiner or spitzer.) They didn't hide their hypocrisy behind religion. RELIGION IS THE PROBLEM.
Although I understand and respect the reason for the concern (Muslim rules regarding modesty), it still makes me glad I don't live in a country where folks take life so seriously.
Yah, all the Russian models are there for a "photo shoot." Let's not be naive. The hotel doesn't want attention drawn to the real reason the "models" are in town. This is the family image issue, not the photos.
@Kris : same reason you can get a suite on CO slopes in the summer for $200. NO ONE WANTS TO BE IN CO AND DXB IN THE SUMMER
In my opinion, the hypocrisy is not with the Arabs or with the Muslims, but with Waldorf management who gladly take the money from guests, but then want them to disavow that they are staying there.
That Mirror article...yikes. Verging on NSFW.
It improved my opinion of Russia, though 🙂
"A hotel spokesman said: “You have to understand that this is an Arab country. We have had a lot of complaints from families with your children."
Maybe the "families with children" shouldn't be on Instagram looking at "photos of girls in semi-naked and erotic poses"?
@anon Colorado resorts are excellent in the summer. Hiking around town and the mountains when they're not so crowded is delightful. The cool sunny weather is a relief from hot steamy or rainy coasts.
And, as you said, they're cheap. Don't tell or everyone will want to come!
Only yesterday I was looking at the Instagram pics for the Sofitel (around the corner from the Waldorf) as I'm staying there this weekend and it's practically the same. Infact check out any top Dubai hotel and you will see the same!
Maybe the UAE's airlines, hotels, and micro-princes need to stop pretending that they have any business whatsoever entertaining modern western audiences in the year 2017.
When one travels to the British Isles, one says things like "lift" and "zed". One drinks tea brewed with water from an electric kettle and beer from a keg that isn't pressurized.
When one travels to France, one learns to say "bonjour" and "merci". One learns to appreciate a relaxed pace of life. And one drinks the world's best wine over protracted, exquisite meals.
When one travels to the UAE, one ignores the local culture entirely because it simply isn't worth adapting.
They are actually called FES.. Foreign Exchange Students here in DXB..
They are brought here by the high up locals for a fun filled week
Then fly back to their home country and buy themselves an investment apartment.
Living here I hear these stories everyday.
This is more likely to do with the "Tag the Sponsor" controversy of recent history. My guess is they don't want to be tagged in that manner or be associated with the possibility of being labeled in that manner. I don't blame them. Read this article if you want to know more. And yes, it is Arabs hiring these women for their filthy fetishes despite the way they treat women in their own country.
