A burka that has bright lights and video cameras inside it feeding directly to lightweight LED screens on the outside.

       I see no problems with this idea whatsoever, and I stand fullsquare behind you in bringing this to fruition.

       Would it not be simpler to make it out of clear pvc sheeting?
pocmloc, Oct 19 2010
  

       I see a lot of red tape this idea sidesteps that clear sheeting would not.
daseva, Oct 19 2010
  

       In the same legalistic spirit as a sheitel.

       Language!

       //I see a lot of red tape this idea sidesteps//   

       Less red tape, perhaps. But, the equipment required for this idea deserves a comment. "Bright lights and video cameras...LED screens on the outside." A rather cumbersome form of exhibitionism (can't think of any other reason a woman would wear this), I should think. While the view on the video screens may or may not appeal to some (11-to-1 vote FOR, at this writing), the whole view (woman-with-apparatus), doesn't do much for me. Sounds like a walking-peep-show-tent. I'm changing my vote. [ ]

       I wonder if this would cause riots too?

       The peek-a-boo burka? Peek-a-burka?   

       I'll run it by marketing.

       So, this is why the French want to ban the burkha?
infidel, Oct 20 2010
  

       All the electronics make it too simple. Do it with mirrors, periscope-style.
normzone, Oct 20 2010
  

       Nice idea, [Voice}.   

       Question - in the unlikely event of any of your remains being found, do you want internment or cremation ?

       [doc]//I'll run it by marketing.//   

       In its present version, I think you'll have to drag or tow it by marketing. Sounds too cumbersome to run.

       This beats pasting mirrors to your shoes. Bun [+]

       The wearer of the burka is not necessarily nude underneath. This could just be a way to display street clothes where not otherwise permitted.

       Buzz kill.

       If you're feeling adventurous, you could broadcast someone else's body instead of your own.

       Kinky!
daseva, Oct 21 2010
  

       Or, if you are a particularly ugly Moslem man, pictures of your own body. That would attract some attention.
infidel, Oct 21 2010
  

       //you could broadcast someone else's body instead of your own// If you broadcast your own body, but back-to-front, and if there were several of you, some very odd-looking dancing would thereby be facilitated.   

       For example, consider the cha-cha-cha.
pertinax, Oct 21 2010
  

       I live in an area with a large Muslim population. There's a certain variety of figure hugging lycra-infused burqua popular amongst the younger set, that although adhering to the letter of sharia law, leaves remarkably little to the imagination. I thoroughly endorse this, of course.
