Watch what you wear

A nearly naked Victoria Beckham isn't exactly a sight for sore eyes. But that didn't stop locals from taking offense when Raffi Nernekian wore a t-shirt that pictures the celebrity in nothing but a pair of pumps to a Dubai bakery.

Though the Marc Jacobs charity tee (above) reveals nothing racier than skin covering skin, a man confronted Nernekian about the tee, apparently upset with its graphic, sexualized nature. Nernekian, a Lebanese native, reportedly left the bakery to change out of the offending shirt, but upon return police were waiting.

The 28-year-old, who works as a commercial eastern ambassador for Marc Jacobs and other luxury brands, was charged with offending public decency. He has been tossed in the slammer for a month and will be deported upon release.

If an incriminating tee is cause enough for jail time in Dubai, I'll avoid a visit--last time I wore the Posh grey tee I didn't even bother pulling on pants.

Good luck, Raffi.
