Default Mini skirts in Kabul, Afghanistan

Until Russia attacked and got their own butts kicked, you could see Afghani women in mini-skirts in Kabul.

Mini skirts reached their heyday in the year 1970. At that time,they were worn worldwide by the vast majority of women,even in many Islamic, Arab, and Middle Eastern countries. In the Middle East ,women wore mini skirts as their daily apparel. From Kabul in Afghanistan to Iran and Bahrain in the Persian Gulf, Egypt, the Levant, North Africa, etc, mini skirts were the trend and it was generally acceptable for many women to wear them, even in the most religious and conservative families and societies.

I didn't see any miniskirts in the first minute or two, so I quit watching. No doubt those were risque for the middle east, but they weren't minis. Everything looked more like uniform skirts worn by catholic schoolgirls. You must not have gone through the sixtys/seventys transition here in the USA. I was in high school at the time and it was completely glorious if a bit distracting.

These are miniskirts:


















Phew! I'm kinda out of breath all of a sudden...

In the eighties there was also the trendy micro-skirt, but I dare not post any links/images of them here since they'd probably be considered soft porn. (What good is 'soft' porn, anyway? ;>)

As a counterpoint: Some legs are meant to be covered.

The girls around here found miniskirts much too expensive... one for the front legs and one for the hind legs
