Majida Mourad says she leads a simple life. She's smart and stunning; we're dubious.
Pressed for a romantic date, she comes up with a doozy. A former boyfriend flew her to London and told her she could go anywhere in the city. She picked Harry's Bar. They have great truffle pasta, she says.
Where in Washington does she go for a romantic getaway? "New York," she quips.
On the other hand, she says, "It's heaven to me to stay at home."
That may be because her recent jobs have required so much travel. She handled international energy issues as a senior aide to then-Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham and now as a partner and vice president at the Abraham Group.
She traveled so much at the Energy Department that any weekend she was in this country she took as a chance to visit her family in her native Toledo, Ohio.
In June, Mourad, 36, coordinated a major conference on natural gas, this time bringing oil ministers from Egypt, Nigeria, Algeria and Qatar here, where they met with leaders of American industries that have been hurt by the rise in prices for natural gas.
She says she is just where she wants to be in her professional life.
On a personal level, she acknowledges men approach her often for dates, but she thinks most aren't sincere. Inundated with offers, she says she values creativity in the approach and decency in the person.
She longs for a committed relationship - "It's like you have this shield around you, and everything just bounces off" - and envisions domestic bliss, with a husband and kids.
Sounds pretty down to earth after all.
Please add me to your growing CBW ping list.
Majida is a twin for the waitress I had at an Italian restaurant last night. But, I doubt is Majida is 5' tall.
Some guys have all the luck! LOL
Done!
I take it you will be back there soon then!
LOL...perhaps...but don't be so harsh on them...women need to be...approached in suitable ways for them, and that can vary widely!
Of course...if you're a young buck, then...your antlers precede your approach!
Nice pics and I take back almost everything I have ever heard/thought about arab women and the need for the burka.
I think middle eastern women are some of the most beautiful on this planet.
"I think middle eastern women are some of the most beautiful on this planet."
If this is an example then I must whole heartedly agree with you.
