They are all wearing the same DRESS. If you were a woman, you'd be very unhappy yourself about looking like one dancer in a chorus line, instead of the star of the show.

I've been away for a few weeks, and it was pure hell. :(
I would pop into FR occasionally from an internet cafe, but when you're "on the meter" you can't spend time on the long or slow-to-load threads.
I have felt terribly deprived! It's good to be back.
Very beautiful pictures. Especially of the Iraqi home. These photos are not unlike paintings. Exquisite.
Thanks for the peek at Iraqi life. And for yet another gorgeous galaxy shot!
