back at my uni the hijab clad women usually had bare mid-rifts showing and all together disturbingly too tight and revealing clothing.

as i recall from some web forum from a while ago, 'veiled vixens' would be a smash hit porn website. i'll stop now before going into the land of off-color and mildly offensive quips.
