Abaya adornment
If it's covering they want, it's covering they'll get. I'd been expecting something like Goth abayas to hit the fashion scene at some point, but gold silk, beads and soft chiffon make a sassy statement that will probably affect mainstream apparel sales in years to come. They're regal and beautiful garments and will no doubt make over-controlling religious types squirm as they try to deal with their loss of control over something which they never really had the ability to control anyway.

Look, up in the sky! It's a...Crowned Crane?
My spouse spotted a Great Blue Heron one morning on his way to work. But I don't think he's ever spotted an East African Grey Crowned Crane. The greater Bay Area is full of wetlands habitat, but the community of Los Altos Hills (on the peninsula between San Jose and San Francisco) is known for having some high-priced real estate, even by California standards. Maybe the bird just hoped to rub knees with some upscale neighbors.
