Back to Persepolis...
I found this article on msn.com and I just wanted to comment on its simliarity to some of the issues found in Peresepolis. Marjane Satrapi spoke alot about how many women sought to break the rules imposed on them in terms of clothing by wearing shorter skirts, tighter tops, etc. This article shows that this issue is still prevalent today.
Further, my best friend is Muslim and often has trouble combining her individual style with the regulations she feels inclined to follow. When we were in Paris this spring, there were a few different occasions where someone approached her and said that her clothing was inappropriate. Of course, this made her very self-conscious and concerned that she was not fulfilling her religous "responsibility". Just something to ponder...

It is hard enough to figure out how to dress ourselves without imposed strictures as well...thanks for posting this Brenna!
