Thailand - Thai police could be sent to fashion shows to make sure the models are not baring their breasts.
The Thai Culture Ministry is reportedly worried about the increasing number of exposed breasts on catwalks and the growing use of "nipple stickers" among teenage girls.
The ministry is set to take over supervision of the police's censorship work in two years time when, according to The Nation, they would seek changes in the law to make baring breasts illegal.
The news followed recent publicity about the adoption of revealing catwalk fashions, including nipple stickers, by young Thai girls.
The stickers, used by models to prevent their nipples being exposed on the catwalk, are proving popular with teenagers who wear them, instead of bras, underneath transparent tops. - Ananova.com
