{One Muslim Woman Show}
Magazine Updates
So the magazine is still in production, sorry. :o) I'm working on so much right now and mashallah, I don't feel any pressure to get the mag out asap... I'll be happy as long as it's still cold outside when it comes out!
Please be patient with me... The photo-shoots are done and now it's all about putting it all together in a manner that's beautiful and interesting.
Oh, would any of you like to submit a photo and a quote for the magazine? Email me or post a comment for details (please include your email address in your comment so that I can reply to you privately... and don't worry, I won't post your email address on the blog).
Other News
I'm working on a free website for Muslim women and I'm looking for "articles" for it. Is there something that you're passionate about or that you would like to write about? -- Fashion, hijab, muslim women in general, islam in general, halal food -- anything?
I'm still figuring out the compensation aspect of it all (if and how much)... Feel free to make suggestions and if your interested, please email me for details.
What else?
I think that's all for now. Maybe I should start doing these end-of-the-week updates more often. :o) They're fun!! LOL.
As always, I thank you all so much for your comments and for supporting Her Modesty.

{Covered Seduction}
I think that we all agree that Muslim women can wear pretty much whatever we want as long as it covers the appropriate body parts. But, I also think that modesty is more than just what you wear -- It's also about how you carry yourself.
I started thinking about this because lately, I've been seeing a lot of pictures of Muslim women in niqab who have heavy eyeliner and makeup on. In addition to the makeup, a lot of the Muslim women in the pictures are deliberately being seductive in how they "pose" their eyes.
To me, that just defeats the purpose of hijab. If you're trying to be modest so that you are hiding your beauty, why put on a seducing, "Stare Into My Eyes" face? (ANTM fans know that "smile with your eyes" thing.)
And then there are the pictures of Muslim women with their bodies posed in a sexy way. Take a look at the picture below and tell me what you think about all of this.

What to wear, what to wear...?
Assalamualikum!
Here's to the first post on hijabifashionista! My name's Asma and as long as you're here, I'll be your personal stylist! Now, i'm not just any fashionista, because if i were, this blog would be no different than any other on the net, I'm a fashionista who knows all about hijabi fashion! That's the ultimate goal of this blog, anyway - to help hijab wearing sisters around the globe eliminate that depressed "what to wear, what to wear...?" from their daily morning routine. Let's get started!
