The defence offered in so many court cases here keeps me amused for hours. I note some of them on 'Life in Dubai' because it's a glimpse of the ultra-modern city people outside are not aware of.
Only last week we had the gentleman who refused to pay for three nights in a hotel because he saw prophets and angels who told him that he only stayed one night.
And who can forget the case of the bulletproof sheep?
Now we have another.
A man was charged with cross-dressing in public - at Mall of the Emirates no less, which is about as public as you can get.
Dubai's Finest, working undercover, said his outfit was glittering like a woman's clothes, and he wore a bra, mascara, women's perfume and a wig.
The defendant didn't deny the charge but...
I'm not guilty... I was cross-dressed because I was training to perform a woman's role in Indian cinema.
You might wonder, as I did, why he was parading around Dubai's busiest shopping mall.
I didn't intend to go to the mall but I went there because I received an urgent phone call.
Urgent? I'd say it must have been.
Gulf News has it here.

Lol - If his role really was to be a woman in an Indian movie he should have been rehearsing by hopping up and down on a Swiss meadow in a skimpy Saree and rhythmically swaying his hair in the wind whilst singing inane lyrics in a high pitched voice...
lol - agree with nick. but i'm assuming he might have been playing a eunuch.
but its sad that men can't wear make up or women's perfume anymore....
Would love to see a picture of the accused....
Hilarious....
Even I would love to see the pic of that guy....
