The Burqini

[sandy]

Move over, Tankini. Since the full-coverage swimsuit dubbed the Burqini (as in burqa plus bikini) hit the international market in January, devout Muslim women have been snapping them up. The polyester suits were designed to accord with Islamic laws that require women to dress modestly and to eliminate the risk of drowning when the yards of fabric used in traditional burqas get soaked. :eek: Now, however, non-Muslim beachgoers are getting into the full-covered swim. Whether women are worried about health, weight or the tolls of age, the Burqini offers a comfortable alternative to a skimpy two-piece or clingy maillot.

This is all funny "he-he" but this burqini thing is scary. It's like a return to the 20's-50's when women had to cover up. :( The whole "muslim women must cover up because they're so hot they turn on the men" is just not true. I have seen very few that were hot. If the muslim men have problems getting turned on, maybe they should just look away. Why punish the women with these ridiculous costumes? :confused:

I don't even wear that much clothing when I go workout. :rolleyes:

I still think frank would look hot in a black one. :)
