Sudanese Next Top Models Fined for wearing MAke Up!

Seven Sudanese male models have been fined for wearing make-up by judges in northern Sudan, under controversial indecency laws...If there was indecency law in my city...the jails would be packed!!
The models and the woman who applied the make-up had been taking part in a show called Sudanese Next Top Model.
Their lawyer had argued that men frequently have to wear make-up to appear on television.
But the judges in Khartoum, where Islamic law applies, decided it was indecent for men to wear make-up.

The eight defendants were each ordered to pay 200 Sudanese pounds (£50; $80).
Under northern Sudan's indecency laws, they could have faced a jail term or been flogged....yes for wearing make up.. Well Too bad, if they're not presentable then they stand no chance without make up then well they'd better start using something to be! 
This Indecency law is a bit too much, last  year a journalist was jailed for wearing trousers, But for Godsakes!!
