1920's swimwear and today's tres haute burkini

PARIS, FRANCE:

In le breaking french news, some woman has got her burkini in a wad over being asked to observe the public swimming pool rules which forbid swimming whilst fully clothed.

It’s a hygeine thing, and whereas there are certainly plenty of women who should remain fully clothed at the pool, I can certainly find no evil intent in this directive.

The woman, a French convert to Islam, who did not wish to be identified, by her name either, was quoted as saying; “Quite simply, this is segregation, I will fight to try to change things. And if I see that the battle is lost, I cannot rule out leaving France.”

Stylish Burkini available at muslimdiva.com for $65. ($10 extra for waist sizes above 50 inches.)

Were I her, I’d be careful about making religious fervor and threats of leaving France over this issue. The land that gave us the bikini is perhaps the worst spot on Earth to drum up support for the “burkini.” Also, lash me if wrong, but, I doubt the Koran has much to say about Islamic swimsuits.
