Swaziland's annual 'Reed Dance' is a traditional show of virginity by thousands of maidens. This year around 60,000 bare-breasted girls, some as young as 10, presented reeds to the queen mother while they danced before King Mswati III. Although Mswati already has 13 wives, the "Reed Dance" presents an opportunity to add another spouse to his family. See Photos after cut...


LUDZIDZINI ROYAL VILLAGE, Swaziland - AFRICA - (Reuters ) Thousands of young Swazi women paraded in front of their king, Mswati III, to celebrate chastity and unity, dismissing criticism of the lavish ceremony in one of Africa's poorest countries for its last absolute monarch.
Bare-breasted Swazi women and girls as young as five gathered on Sunday and Monday to the king and queen mother, also known as the Great She-Elephant. The topless women dressed in beaded mini-skirts and clutching machetes and mobile phones, danced and sang tributes in a traditional Umhlanga Reed Dance meant to celebrate womanhood and virginity.
Maidens flocked in from across the country. Some attends the ceremony every year until they marry - cut reeds from river beds, which they then presented to the queen mother in a mile-long singing and foot-stamping procession.
...
18-year-old Gcebine Dlamini said that she is proud to be Swazi and to be a virgin. "We are here to show unity with the king and with each other.", she added.

Everything about bosom's i believe havent always been viewed from a lustful and licentious point of view....

I think it's the west and their norms that have seeped into Africa consciousness that has made us look at bosoms from an almost pornographic pedestal.. it's cool to see that this culture hasn't gone that way.
