Australian social media personality Newsha Syeh was prohibited from entering the Louvre because her outfit was deemed inappropriate.

Syeh attempted to enter the world-famous museum earlier this week and took to Instagram to vent her anger after being barred from entering.

She posted about the incident on her Instagram story saying,

"Yesterday at the Louvre, I was stopped at the entrance by a guard for my outfit. He made the most disgusted and horrible gestures and facial expressions, swore at me to cover up, with hate filled eyes stopped me entering. I was heartbroken, because I thought the Louvre enforced this archaic rule [sic]. Turns out it does not."

On Saturday she posted a picture of the outfit in question with the caption,

"Picasso would have loved my outfit"

Several people have pointed out the fact that Picasso's work is not featured in the Louvre.

The Louvre's rules only state that guests cannot wear swimsuits, be barefoot, bare-chested, or naked. There is nothing in their regulations about women wearing plunging necklines.

However, some people think that Newsha's outfit was, indeed, inappropriate and that she was rightfully denied access to the museum.

However, many people feel as though the Louvre's behavior only perpetuates a misogynistic attitude.

This was not Syeh's first trip to the Louvre.

There are several things that are appealing to hikers.

Being out in nature and taking in some fresh air is a huge motivation for people to get out of the house.

Getting exercise is also a factor to maintain a healthy heart.

But there could be one unexpected element to a hike that can happen hypothetically, and it's sure to raise your heartbeat.

Specifically, seeing something shocking along the hiking trail, like, say, a naked person could make for an exciting–or disturbing–hiking outing. It certainly doesn't get any more au natural than that.

30 is the new 20.

At least, that's what a lot of people tell themselves after they pass that milestone birthday.

Even so, while age is merely a number, people still find certain things grow increasingly more challenging with each passing year.

Including, or even particularly, dating.

Those still on the hunt for love after turning 30 might grow increasingly insecure, worry that their moment has passed, or be unable to ignore the ticking of their biological clock reminding them that time might be running out to start a family.

Not to mention, playing a losing game over and over can become completely and utterly exhausting after a while.
