+ Notes:
Have you ever seen so many hairless Middle Eastern men? I'm especially intrigued by the covers from the '60s and '70s, where the principals look like Barbie & Ken.
Originally, I was going to upload the song with just the single cover image, but I've been on a desert romance kick lately, thanks in equal part to Anna's song and the smart, sexy desert romance novel I found through the "Sheikhs and Desert Love" website, so... why not combine the two, eh? It helps make things a little more entertaining.
Images edited in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and compiled in Microsoft Windows Movie Maker (XP version). No add-on effects were used in this video.
Thank you for watching (and listening)!
