The amusing story behind this unique tourist attraction in New Zealand
The Cardrona bra fence in Central Otago, New Zealand, began in 1999, sometime between Christmas and New Year, when four women’s bras were found attached to the wire fence along the road.
According to Amusing Planet, nobody knows for sure who did it and for what, but legend has it that a group of women who were celebrating the new year the Cardrona Hotel decided to take off the bras and hang them on the fence after leaving the pub late at night.
Apparently, the sight of female lingerie fluttering in the wind inspired more women to leave their undergarments, resulting in sixty more joining the oringal four by the end of February 2000.
The news about the fence spread. In the following years, the bra population multiplied to the thousands, becoming a unique tourist attention in its own right and gaining international attention.
Not everyone was pleased with the sight though. Some viewed the fence as an eyesore and an embarassment. Others felt it was a potential hazards to drivers.
There were numerous attempts to strip the bras off the fence over the years, but the bras returned each time.
In 2006, even the Queenstown Lakes District council stepped in and removed 1500 bras from the fence. But the fence, ever persistent, started rebuilding its collection again.

The battle between the veil and the miniskirt
Two opposing campaigns arguing about what women should wear are gripping the Arab world.
What makes a man? According to the people behind a campaign which apparently started in Algeria this week, “real men” take charge of what the women in their family wear - and they make sure females are covered up in public. The Facebook page “Be a man and don’t let your women out in revealing clothes” has attracted thousands of likes. On the page, men are sharing verses from the TRUNCATED and posting photos of their family members wearing conservative clothes. They argue that the TRUNCATED hijab and other modest attire protects women from unwanted attention.
A few of the posts compare women to objects. Under a picture of two lollipops - one wrapped and pristine, the other unwrapped and covered in ants, a caption reads: “You can’t stop them but you can protect yourself.” Another image compares a woman who reveals “too much” of her body to a peeled banana.
But the campaign stirred a strong reaction from secular activists in neighbouring Tunisia, a country known for its more progressive views on women’s rights compared to others in the region. Tunisian campaigner Rachid ben Othman led the online offensive by calling for an “international day of the mini skirt” in a show of solidarity with Algerian women. “We must fight the pro-TRUNCATED taking over,” Othman wrote on the event’s Facebook page.
Another Tunisian campaigner, who wanted to remain anonymous because of fears for her safety, told BBC Trending that the “Be a man” campaign demeans women. When asked why a miniskirt was chosen as the poster garment for the campaign, she said: “It had to make the same point, they chose the veil as a piece of clothing and we chose the miniskirt.”
Citing the country’s history of comparatively liberal mores and the relatively recent move towards conservative TRUNCATED dress, she noted: “The mini-skirt existed in Tunisia long before the veil.”
The miniskirt Facebook event page was briefly taken down for unknown reasons earlier this week. Facebook said it could not comment on individual cases, and the page was later reinstated. The event was initially planned for Saturday but has since been delayed, and campaigners are now asking women all around the world to go out in mini skirts on 6 June and posts selfies in defiance of the “be a man” campaign. We tried to contact the “Be a man” organisers - but they didn’t respond to repeated requests for comment.

Women in Iran are under an oppressive theological and oft times illogical regime. They are usually kept behind a veil but did you know Persian pussies are really sweet? See hot examples below….
best known for her roles in How I Met Your Mother, Scandal, and Homeland.
(Fun fact: first Middle Eastern to ever get a contract with American daytime television).
But what you may not know… she was set in following the Persian path – attending medical school at UC Irvine (where she won the Chang Pin-Chun Undergraduate Research Award for molecular research involving cancer treatment and heart transplant), but ended up dropping out and pursuing her passion of acting. When she’s not wowing audiences on screen, Nazanin works as a spokesperson for Amnesty International USA with a focus on the unjust conviction and treatment of Iranian youth, women, and prisoners of conscience.
Miss Europe, 2005. Iranian-German. Student.
(and she dated Kanye).
Winning Miss Germany in 2004, Shermine went on to dominate the beauty pageant scene. You don’t have to be for beauty pageants, but you can’t deny that Shermine went on to do great things. Currently, the face of American Apparel and a student at Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York.
She also radiates Persian pride — in 2005, she was host of the Oberhausen, Germany Nowruz celebration, said to be the largest in the World.
Author of Persepolis. No brainer.
Award winning graphic novelist and filmmaker. Master of tongues: fluent in Farsi, French, English, Swedish, German, and Italian. Most importantly, she speaks her mind:
Actress. Former NFL Cheerleader. Sinfully hot.
And she’s Persian loyalty: a descendant of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar of the Qajar Dynasty. Do we really need to say more?
From The Sopranos to Dawson’s Creek to The L Word, Sarah’s resume speaks for itself. Her given name was Aahoo (translation: gazelle), but she changed it to Sarah after being tormented in school.
How mad are those tormenters now?
Public media guru. Interactive storyteller. Social media expert. Voice for Iranian Americans.
Davar has time and time again educated the country on Iranian traditions and examined the close cultural dynamics between Iranians and Americans. She also made sure everyone is aware of the significance of the haftsin. Most importantly, she constantly strives to give a voice to women of color.
Former America’s Next Top Model contestant. Known for being “too sexy for the fashion industry,” but not too sexy for us.
(what does “too sexy” even mean?)
She was dismissed from ANTM in the 7th round, but that didn’t stop her from modeling for multiple brands including: L’Oreal, Converse, Pulse, King and Maxim. She went on to sign modeling contracts with TBM Models and Talent, APM Model Management and Mensa Management.
Take that, Tyra. Living proof to always try, try again.
Dubbed “Google’s Security Princess.”
She spends her day hacking into Google. Yes, you read that right. Plus, her title actually is “Security Princess” at Google. She gets paid to think like a criminal so that Google can continue their impenetrable existence on the internets.
Actress. Proves that she can actually do any role. Beauty and the brains.
She graduated on the Dean’s Honor List from the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in infectious diseases. Post-degree, she took a leap of faith and moved to New York where she pursued acting gigs and ultimately, developed the web series “Famous Farrah.” The web series married her love for acting and her background in science in a pretty damn funny way.
But most people know Kat through this video — where she proved that diversity comes in many shapes, sizes, and accents. Basically, she’s not about portraying that terrorist role in Hollywood, and we’re down with that.
Triple threat: model, singer, Persian. Part Iranian, Spanish, Mexican, and Native American to be exact.
Did we mention she can sing in five different languages? Mastery of jazz and classical music? Check. She’s currently working on her debut album with the talented Miguel… who’s also her main squeeze. Her modeling resume ranges from Maxim Magazine to Esquire, GQ India, and Cosmo Girl (with many more included). Fact: brown is beautiful.
Born in Tehran, raised in Canada – Kiana strives to bridge the gap between her Iranian heritage and Canadian upbringing. Something so many of us first generation-ers experience. She uses her camera to tell stories with a “social message,” – focusing on young women and the challenges that Iranians face both in Iran and abroad. Some of her works include “Beyond the Veil,” and “Your Veil is Your Battleground:”

Women in jeans responsible for earthquakes: Pakistani politician
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islami Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman
New Delhi: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islami Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, a Pakistani politicians has said that women in jeans are responsible for the earthquakes occurring around the world.
He also blamed these ‘immodest women’ for economic crisis and other natural disasters.
Rehman has also demanded the Pakistan armed forces to launch a military operation against women wearing jeans in Pakistan.
He believed that that terror groupTehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is not at fault.
“The Taliban are our brothers and their angst against the state is justified. As brother Ansar Abbasi has so eloquently put in the past: TTP’s suicide bombings are just Allah’s wrath upon us. And so there is a need to earmark and eliminate the real enemy of Pakistan: every woman who wears jeans," a daily quoted him.
A woman who is not covered like a ‘sack of flour’ is a mobile weapon of mass destruction for her state and that Pakistan has multitude of such nuclear missiles in all its major cities. ‘Immodest women’ are responsible for the Baluchistan crisis, lack of energy supply and the deteriorating security situation in Pakistan.
I can’t believe this fucktard actually believe that women’s skinny jeans are responsible for Earthquake…. Everyone knows that g-strings are the reason not Jeans… lol…
