kelpdiver 2 #101 June 26, 2009 QuoteQuoteOne thing that struck me when I was working in London last month was the burqas everywhere. Were they really burqas? Or were they abayas, hijabs, or other conservative Islamic clothing? I suspect you were just using 'burqa' as short-hand/subsitution for all conservative Islamic dress. yeah, it looks like a mix of the latter two. In Oakland, it's a tube top.

Hi kd, I like the part about the "tube top" in Oakland!!! A couple of Mardi Gras ago Peggy and I were in the Carrageway at Pat O'Brien's waiting to go into the Piano bar and 2 ladies walked by wearing "AIR BRUSHED PAINTED ON TUBE TOPS!!!!!" Those would definitely give any Burka a run for its money!! Could you imagine an "air brushed painted on Burka??" Hmmmmmm??SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
