Jackson dons traditional female dress for shopping trip

Pop star Michael Jackson took a shopping trip to a Bahrain mall today, covering himself in a black abaya robe traditionally warn by Bahraini women and a veil hiding his face, along with three children – apparently his – with their faces covered with dark scarves.

Jackson, who seems to be settling in the Persian Gulf, was seen leaving Marina Mall in the Bahrain capital, holding a child by the hand. On the way out through a back door, he shook hands with security guards.
