“Persepolis” is the poignant coming-of-age story of a precocious and outspoken
young Iranian girl that begins during the Islamic Revolution. We meet nine-yearold
Marjane when the fundamentalists first take power – forcing the veil on
women and imprisoning thousands; follow her as she cleverly outsmarts the
“social guardians” and discovers punk, ABBA and Iron Maiden, while living with
the terror of government persecution and the Iran/Iraq war; then on to Austria as a teenager, where her parents send her to school in fear for her safety and, she
has to combat being equated with the religious fundamentalism and extremism
she fled her country to escape.
Marjane eventually gains acceptance in Europe but finds herself alone and
horribly homesick, and returns to Iran to be with her family, though it means
putting on the veil and living in a tyrannical society. After a difficult period of
adjustment, she enters art school and marries, continuing to speak out against
the hypocrisy she witnesses. At age twenty-four, she realizes that while she is
deeply Iranian, she cannot live in Iran. She then makes the heartbreaking
decision to leave her homeland for France, optimistic about her future, shaped
indelibly by her past. -sony pictures

have been a fan of orla for many years.

it all happened on thompson street at peter hermann’s purse shop, the first glimpse of the sweet candy colored graphic bags she is now so famous for

if we ever feel the need to brave the mosquitoes and the bears we will just have to forgo the sporto rei collection and arrive in style with our orla kiely camp gear.

maybe i am late to the martha stewart empire but i walked

into michael’s  and was elated to see a pair of scissors where the
handles weren’t red, pink or orange, had their own blade guard

and packaging that doubles as a storage case, one that is sturdy and quite nice,

the stickers even pull off without a mess
