I didn't even have to alter this image!
So, Yasmin AbdEl Aziz's facebook page is getting a healthy dose of photos of her playing different characters. She might be involved in some kind of sketch comedy show? or maybe a game show? I don't know, facebook keeps on translating the captions as "Escape from her".
But anyhow she is wearing red hair again for some reason. She doesn't seem to be a comedic character either, so if I make an icon out of this I will only need to use the crop tool and uh...
I really wish I could read Arabic so I could at understand a bit more about what is going on with these pictures.
...
And upon some googling, I have found out that whatever it is, it has been placed on youtube by the showrunners apparently? Based on the cute animated intro, it may be worth a watch later. Like, maybe tomorrow. Before Ramadan ends, maybe? I have no clue.
The animated intro itself may be very iconable. Animated icons!

There is some societal thing in Egypt, or maybe its an actual job, but there always seems to be this guy who sits outside of apartment buildings, in the courtyard, usually. Usually someone of a lower social class than the apartment dwellers, usually? So he is kind of a doorman?
In previous films Yasmin has been in, this type of person would occasionally make an appearance. He's usually good to chat with. Maybe a down to earth kind of dude. Anyhow, this episode actually focuses on the life of a doorman who marries a woman who was actually cleaning his family's home and being a busybody about it. And it seems these doormen are sort of building superintendents, too, and personal shoppers, they make sure your kids get on the right bus, and yada yada yada. I guess like a concierge? Or a portero? And they get paid tips.
Anyway, it was nice to finally get a bit more context on who these people that sit outside apartment buildings are. Especially since I don't understand the language.
I do get that la means no, now. And habibi means dear or friend or dear friend.
You can tell I have never lived in big cities.
