This parade begins a story, not unlike the One Thousand And One Nights folk tales. . . . in one of which is the story of Scheherazade . . . Scheherazade, the vizier's daughter, offers herself as the next bride to a Persian King who -- how shall we put it -- has a reputation for "disposing" of his wives, one after another; and her father reluctantly agrees. On the night of their marriage, Scheherazade begins to tell the king a tale, but does not end it. The king, curious about how the story ends, is thus forced to postpone her execution in order to hear the conclusion. The next night, as soon as she finishes the tale, she begins a new one, and the king, eager to hear the conclusion of this tale, postpones her execution once again. So it goes -- for 1,001 nights. Let the imagination of mysterious, romantic nights overtake this parade! Exotic, fanciful and beautiful items suggesting far away places in the Middle East evoke the aura of this theme: such as, embroidered silks, sheers, chiffons & cottons, caftans, scarfs & wraps for men & women alike. Jewel-studded accessories, desert sandals, bracelets and rings that shine in the moonlight will be welcome. Harem pants, body jewelry, vanity items, turbans and veiled head wear will excite us and fan the flames of fantasy for these 7 nights!
