Brown Man Clothing is at again. The controversial cultural clothing line known for hilarious and boundary-pushing tees have released a just-as-controversial calendar called ‘Hijabis Are Hot’.
The 2010 calender flips the notion that cultural garb like hajabis are used to cover a woman’s beauty or hotness. With 12 months of hot hijabi-clad ladies from around the world, this is definitely not your average pin-up girl calendar. As usual, Brown Man has received praise and criticism over the 'Hijabis Are Hot' calendar. Are they out of line or in step? You be the judge.
