I think the Piscipo commercial about the East German Women's Swim Team was pointing out the widespread steroid use among eastern European athletics at the time.

Perhaps too Muslim or nun like for an Orthodox church or monastery visit, but I thought that this was interesting, and the model is beautiful...

Elizabeth Maria, I wasn't referring to the body figure but the deliberate arching of the back so that the chest is intentionally displayed.

Alice, the model is beautiful and I like the style. I guess it would less muslim like if at least some of the neck is left uncovered, but then not all muslims cover the neck,hmm. The only thing is that she was really wearing three coverings (black underscarf, blue band covering half the head, and the scarf itself) and that would seem awfully uncomfortable and even unhealthy, becuase the scalp does not get any air at all.

This is pretty interesting too:the secular, "spiritual" non-muslim hijabi explains why she wears hijabs.


Peace,
Indigo
