Itsy, Bitsy, Teenie, Weenie Felony: English Woman Arrested for Wearing Bikini in Dubai Mall

A British woman was arrested and charged with indecency in Dubai. Her crime: walking through the Dubai Mall in her swimsuit.

While the charges were later reportedly dropped, the arrest is the latest confrontation between Westerners and Dubai’s Sharia standards, ranging from a married couple in a car to an Englishman on the street to a texting couple to a kissing couple to a hotel couple.

Accounts say that the woman began with only a revealing top and she was approached by a local woman who was part of an Islamic group that passed out warnings to women who were insufficiently covered. The English woman did not take well to being told to cover up so stripped down to her bikini. Her defense could have been that she was on her way to the Burkini store at the mall.

The arrest probably sent the needed message to create bikiniphobia for future women:

She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was as nervous as she could be
She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was afraid that somebody would see
Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore

It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy, bitsy, teentie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the locker she wanted to stay
Two, three, four, stick around we’ll tell you more

She was afraid to come out in the open
And so a blanket around she wore
She was afraid to come out in the open
And so she sat bundled up on the shore
Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore

It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy, bitsy, teentie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the blanket she wanted to stay
Two, three, four, stick around we’ll tell you more

Now she’s afraid to come out of the water
And I wonder what she’s gonna do
Now she’s afraid to come out of the water
And the poor little girl’s turning blue
Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore

It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy, bitsy, teentie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the water she wanted to stay
(From the locker to the blanket)
(From the blanket to the shore)
(From the shore to the water)
Yes, there isn’t any more
