burqini? You may well ask.

I have to thank Jim Belshaw for this story.
Oztralia is such an innovative country.
What you are seeing in this photo is the outfit for Muslim female lifesavers.

Mail orders will begin soon so please be patient, right now orders are being fulfilled.

Production is expected to escalate for these costumes as an expected flood of orders hits the shops.

At this stage, classic black is the only color being considered for manufacture but other colors could well be produced for next season, this will depend on consumer demand.

It is apparent that this costume is not only for Muslims but could well be the difference between a fun day at the beach and a case of painful sunburn, not to mention the dangers of skin cancer as the depletion of the ozone layer makes the sun's rays more potent.

This outfit looks suspiciously similar to what is worn to prevent the lethal sting of the famous Australian jellyfish. Obviously, the benefits are too numerous to list here.

I will certainly be looking forward to donning my burqini, after all, why should women have all the fun?

The strange part is, as it starts to become a law against hijab in Europe, it also have become a fashion....and as it has been made jokes of females muslim's way of dressing at the beach, it also becomes fashion...
In Muslim countries they get critized for the way they dress and laws around try to dress them off.In Africa, where it has been "normal" to be almost naked, misionaries come and dress them while at the same time in their own country fight for nude beaches.
I don't know....Where is the freedom to dress as you like?? After personality, cultur, religion and place on earth?

Kirsten, let people wear what they want. I look ridiculous wearing the latest casual look, but what choice do I have? If I dress up, I look out of place. It seems fashion dictates what we wear more than what we choose to wear.
