Modesty is the Best Policy

Dionthepeon is becoming a real scholar on fashion—reading books and articles, researching. She is going to do a vlog on school uniforms, uniforms in general, on dress codes, and how women and men have asserted their individuality, and defied authority, using authority's own rules. I told her I had seen a Muslim woman in a fashion article dressed strictly to Koranic code in a hijab--but the Koran is silent on women foot covering. So this woman had on designer heels. 


Even nylons covering her ankles! I was stunned. Dion told me about this Orthodox Jewish influencer, tobycontinued. 




Now I ask you: Is that not brilliant? STRICT conformity to Orthodox dress codes—hair scarf, all body skin covered, feet covered—"But the Torah doesn’t say anything about color, Rabbi!"😄 The Torah mandates if not a scarf, then a wig to conceal your sexually-stimulating hair. So in other photos Toby sports punk-pink wigs. It’s rebellious within the confines. I was enthralled.
