Costumes

Late night at Denny's a security guard told a kissing couple "you need to cut that out. this is a family restaurant." I didn't know most family restaurants had security guards.

Yesterday two kids came over to ask me if I wanted to play basketball, but they were also trying to intimidate me by not talking. Hint...you can't walk over to others and ask them to "play a game" with you while being silent and still look intimidating.

In Iran they are now allowing girls to wear new costumes. From the AP:

Parts of Iranian beaches are reserved for women, where they can remove their headscarves and wear swimming costumes.

If you were a dirty man, what better location could you have than a girl only tourist island of scantly clad women? I wonder how long it will take before a man is found on the new Women only tourist island. And when he is found there, will he get in trouble, or will a woman be blamed for tempting him into it.

It is hard to make self sufficient tourist locations that create significant economic activity without someone really trying to get rooted into it. And one of the last things they would want would be to show that women may not need men. That would screw up their social structure pretty bad.
