< Previous50 April 22 – May 19 2020 timeoutdubai.com #THEBACKPAGE 1 You’ve got a virtual Zoom background for every occasion On a work call? No worries, get that neat and tidy home office space primed to be the backdrop to the conversation, it’s the professional thing to do. Post-work virtual happy hour? Get that picture of your favourite pub set up. Talking to friends back home? Make sure you have that pristine beach shot loaded. What’s that? You’ve got a Joe Exotic wallpaper just begging to be used on Zoom? That’s suitable for absolutely every occasion, of course. 2 Iron Fist is getting finished Let’s face it, Iron Fist is the worst Netflix/Marvel production. If anyone got to the end of the sole series at the first time of asking, we salute you. What’s more likely is you watched a couple, wanting to like it after the great first seasons of Daredevil and Jessica Jones, but could not manage a single second of the third episode. Even if it’s just to get it off your ‘Continue watching’ list, it’s time for Iron Fist. 3 TikTok is your new favourite social media platform Okay, you never quite got to grips with Snapchat, but it doesn’t mean you’re a tech dinosaur. Well, not now you can make funny videos with your cat on TikTok. Cats sliding across the floor, cats fighting with cuddly toys, cats stealing food from your plate, cats dancing to music… You name it, you can do it, and people will watch. Those who don’t remember Vine, anyway. 4 You let your other half cut your hair Ladies, it doesn’t matter that you usually spend the same on your haircut as brunch for two at Zuma, apparently Dressing up for the balcony? Read on, writes Paul Clifford Five signs you’ve fully embraced lockdown living four weeks inside is all it takes for you to think your husband can be trusted to trim your fringe and do your roots. It’s totally fine if it all goes horribly wrong (and it will…). At least it’ll probably have grown out by the time you’re back in the office. Men, we all know you’re shaving your head and growing a beard, so don’t pretend you’re suffering, too. 5 Getting dressed in your smartest clothes for dinner is totally fine When the highlight of your social calendar is going out onto the balcony to eat dinner, it should be given the respect it deserves. So, it’s time to get out of the loungewear and put on your finery. Do your hair for the first time in five days, splash some perfume on and dig out your jewellery, it’s time to get glammed up. Don’t fret that your meal is leftover pesto and pasta because you’re running out of food, at least you’ll look the part. 50_TOD_2012_THE BACK PAGE_11196916.indd 5021/04/2020 14:39:30نودﻮﺗ ﻞﻫ ةءاﺮﻗ رﺎﺒﺧﻷا ﺮﺧآ ؟ﻲﺑﺮﻌﻟﺎﺑ ar.timeoutdubai.com TOD_2012_HOUSE AD TO ARABIC_11273698.indd 121/04/2020 14:42:26Life’s too short to live off side salads Plant-based living just got a whole lot tastier Time Out Dubai’s Vegan Dubai.
