Hey it's me getting all serious again ..

Different cultures have differing ideas of beauty (an obvious point) but I recently came across these images from the Iranian.com .. yes the same Iran where the women "choose" to walk around dressed from head to toe in black bhurkas .. but underneath it all, (and largely driven by Iranians living overseas) there is a thriving fashion and arts scene which fuses traditional Persian elements with more modern approaches.



More startling images, especially eye make-up at .. http://www.iranian.com/Ar[...]ex.html

Thanks to my on-line friend and Jewellery designer Parima for sharing those with me.

I love these sorts of surprises
