So I turn on the Olympics tonight. It's women's beach volleyball. One country's team is in bikinis. The other country's team is in full burkas. I thought I must be watching the Iranian women's beach team. It turned out it was Brazil's. If there was ever a women's beach team I would expect to wear skimpy swimsuits it would have been Brazil's. Brazil's opponent, the Russians, were in the bitty suits. A funny thing about the Russians--one of the women had so much tape on her body that it covered more skin than her swim suit. To be honest, I think the volleyball women look a bit silly in the usual skimpy "uniforms." I sort of liked the Brazilian burkas.
Incidentally, I googled "burka" to make sure it wasn't sacred garb. I'm a little gun shy coming out of my most recent suspension!
