The problem with Segway wasn’t that Peter Shankman drew attention to himself by riding it all over New York.

Daphne Does Derby: The Secret Life of Hijabis →
daphnedoesderby:
Curious friends often ask me questions about the hijab. They’re interested to know my motivations and day to day difficulties. Sometimes people have seen an ambitious headscarf creation and want to know how it was achieved. Unfortunately, that’s a little bit like asking someone how a…
