Photo in the News: Viking Women Wore "Sexy" Outfits

WTF Journal's equivalent to the Page 3 girl! And Sven the Viking with a real big sword to boot for equal opportunity gratuitous imagery.

Damn National Geographic. They sure used to show far more risque pictures of topless stone age ladies in New Guinea or pygmy boobies from Africa. Here they have a chance to unload some hot pictures of Nordic Viking Honey's and..... we get photos that are a bit less than provocative? Looks like Hustler's market share is safe.

LOL. Yeah, not taking any of this seriously at all.

















Photo in the News: Viking Women Wore "Sexy" Outfits

February 27, 2007—Call it the Viking version of a low-cut top.

A modern reconstruction of a Norse outfit (worn above by textile researcher Annika Larsson of Uppsala University in Sweden) is a single piece of fabric held in place by clasps that sit on the middle of each breast.

Such a provocative outfit was probably common among Viking women before Christianity took hold in Scandinavia, Larsson said in a statement. She recently analyzed ancient textiles from the Lake Mälaren Valley, which was inhabited during the "Viking Age" from about A.D. 750 to 1050.
