In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking.
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.

Remember the Victorian Era ? It’s like that but with stonings.

Oddly, although women were castigated for showing any ‘leg’, the Victorians had no problem with women wearing plunging necklines.

Human beings as so inconsistent.

She is a hottie. Usually the ones that bare, shouldn’t.

For her welfare, hope she gets the burka back on and disappears into some sheik's harem til this blows over.

When I was stationed in the Sinai desert about 25 years ago I was driving my UN Jeep Cherokee through the Mitla Pass when I saw a pair of women’s legs bicycling in the air on a hill by the road. I was astounded since 1. It’s like nowhere and 2. They were very pretty legs. I stopped the Cherokee abruptly and as I slid a bit past the legs, a young Bedouin woman got up, pulled her long dress back down, gave me a big grin, and ran off.

You never what’s going to happen next in that part of the wodld!

Indeed! Heels always accent the positive!

Perhaps she has no insecurity resulting from height envy

Hell, who could blame him? He is just standing there, minding his own business and this woman with bare legs walks by.

If the wrong person saw him, he might be brought in and put to death for not putting a stop to it by beating her or arresting her.

It looks like a cross on the back of her sweater in the photo on the right.

“I was shocked,’’ the man who took the photo, local journalist Hayat Ensafi, told the BBC.

“I know I had to catch this special moment because I never saw a woman here walking down the streets like this.’’
