In the comic below Sareen targets the oh-so-common Lebanese beach-goer. By stating the typical physical description of a good 95% of her demographic, she makes mockery of Lebanon&#8217;s fascination with all things shallow. On the coast, no woman goes to have fun. Instead, it&#8217;s a parade of &#8220;who&#8217;s-bikini-is-cuter&#8221; and &#8220;my-tan-is-better-than-yours&#8221; and &#8220;ugh-is-that-cellulite?&#8221; Men of course, are no better, as they are forever comparing bicep and pec size while simultaneously checking out all the blondes within proximity.<br \/>  <br \/>  Be it make-up, plastic surgery, or steroids, if they&#8217;ve got it, you
