In Iran "Pretty" Is Sometimes The Protest




This young woman on the right? Is risking her life not only for protesting the fraudulent Iranian election but for wearing that shade of nail polish in public.

Yes, it's exactly like Persepolis - the author of that was talking about growing up in Iran. What's truly a shame is that these things are still going on - I can't imagine how demoralizing it must be for the author to have gone through all that in her childhood and still see it happening all over again.

When I paint my nails this week or the next, I'm gonna do it for her.

Rock on.
