In Persia



Persian girl with green eyes in rural Iran on September 9, 2007
reminds me that the homeland of the Persian people is the Fars province which is located in southern Iran.



Iranian woman with obvious nose job still sizzling, but an unpleasant reminder of a cultural twist in the aftermath of contact with the West. A few years ago I read the most nose jobs performed in the world were done in Iran. Iran! The country with arguably the most beautiful men and women to look at on the planet submitted to an ideal of beauty outside of a historical reference point centuries old. This either speaks to the power of Western thought or the weakness of an ancient cultural identity. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9.28.15
