Iranian police regularly detain such “badly veiled” women on major squares or in shopping malls, warning or fining them — or taking them to police stations, where they must pledge in writing not to appear immodestly dressed in public.

Yet this year’s crackdown is described by observers as one of the harshest in recent memory.

Iranian authorities have vowed that this fresh crackdown on improper clothing is no temporary measure, and announced that “plainclothes police will go into action” from next week.

Police have issued dress-code warnings to more than 10,000 women in the past 10 days, and many others have been briefly detained by authorities.

Since it began in late April, hundreds of women — and some men — have been detained at least briefly over their allegedly “un-Islamic” appearance. Some have signed statements pledging not to violate the dress code, while others face court cases. Barbers have been warned not to give men Western hairstyles, and young men playing loud music in their cars have been also warned.

Shops selling some types of clothes have also received warnings, and several have reportedly been shut down.

The crackdown has angered some Iranians, who say they are fed up with state interference in their private lives.

There is fear, despite urances that authorities will not use force against those who are deemed to be inappropriately dressed.

One video posted on an Iranian website shows a woman screaming and protesting as police officers try to force her into their car. “Let me go!” she shouts in panic. “I don’t want to go! What do you want to do with me? I don’t want to go!”

Born and raised in Guelph, Ontario, Lynzie spent her childhood surrounded by music. Her father managed and was the lead guitarist of the successful band Double Exposure while her mother was the lead singer. At a young age, she began performing with the band at some of Muskokas most prestigious resorts, corporate events, and Ontarios most popular casinos. Inspired by her fathers songwriting, Lynzie began writing her own music at the age of 18 and at 22, released her first original album entitled Find the Words. Her writing style is inspired by artists such as Heart, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morrisette, and Jann Arden. The lyrics and stories of her songs are personal and honest depicting situations that many young women encounter. Most songs are written collaboratively with her father—a great advantage to the young singer as he is a seasoned singer/songwriter. Lynzies relationship with him is best described in her song Daddy, a heart felt tribute to his dedication to music and family. From break-ups, to first loves, to the need for change, Find the Words is an album diverse in lyrics and style. Lynzie is the former lead singer of Juno-nominated (Best R&B/Soul Recording of the Year) Toronto nu-funk band God Made Me Funky. Snagging this gig in early 2007 brought non-stop North America wide touring. In 2007, God Made Me Funky headlined at The Montreal International Jazz Festival and The Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival in Fredericton. They were also the featured band in American Pie Presents Beta House. In March 2008, God Made Me Funky released its third album Enter the Beat to a packed crowd at The Opera House. Lynzie parted ways with the band in late 2008 to pursue her solo project. Lynzies television appearances include Breakfast Television (Toronto and Calgary), Etalk, Entertainment Tonight Canada, Canada AM, Buddies on the Vine, Inside Jam and Real Women Live. Stand out performances include NXNE Music Festival, The Montreal Jazz Festival, Opening for Afrika Bambatta, Sick Kids Herbie Day and as a Top Ten Finalist in the Toronto Song Contest (2009, results pending) for her Song Electrify Toronto. Lynzie released her first original Christmas single Mrs. Claus Laments (Stay Home with Me) to radio in early November 2008. The song is a vintage-vibe ballad that tells a love story with a cheeky twist. It was played on over 40 radio stations nationwide. In early 2009, Lynzie released her single New Red Shoes to radio and it has received airplay on over 40 stations nationwide so far. In 2009, Lynzie produced The New Red Shoes Tour promoting her single and benefiting womens shelters across Ontario. She has also been nominated for the prestigious YWCA Young Woman of Distinction Award, honoring women who act as role models in their field and who give back to their community. Early 2009 also marked the launch of Lynzies own entertainment company- Electric Blonde Entertainment
