I hope in the past few months of I Heart Iran, we have learned that no one is spared from the “forced” hijab . Iranian education system and religious authorities use any tactic to implement the hijab policies and mold young minds into accepting it as a garment designed for the well-being and protection of women. Though I personally have no opposition to the hijab , forcing it upon women (in the case of Iran) is what makes me come back to this concept over and over again. This week, I learned about a doll’s hijab contest that had taken place sometimes last year in the Holy city of Mashhad , a north eastern Iranian city known for being one of the main Shia cites where the 8th Imam, Reza is buried. As seen in the pictures here , grade school girls were asked to chose a hijab for their dolls and compete against one another for the best one. According to the news release some mothers joined their daughters too and before the awards were presented, the director of the competition talked about the psychological affects of such activities for young girls in accepting and respecting the hijab for later in life. Judges are viewing the participating dolls!

A.Aubrey Bodine made Baltimore look like a Hollywood gal. Not a knockout, not a star . But a handsome girl from back East with excellent bones and good breeding, dressed up with professional help. Bodine’s black-and-white photographs from the 1920s through the 1960s show a Baltimore of clean streets, nice monuments, dignified and often solitary workers, few children, beautiful skies. The skin is scrubbed and the pores closed, and the pictures have a light that, you tell yourself, you’ve seen only a couple of times. Read full article > >

Sony Pictures has just announced the official title for the new Spider-Man movie, and it’s one that longtime fans should already be familiar with. Taking a page right from the original comics, Marc Webb’s upcoming reboot will be called The Amazing Spider-Man, which is a title that may indicate the direction of this new franchise. Not only that, but they also released a brand new image of Andrew Garfield in full Spider-Man costume, highlighting those flashy web-shooters that folks talked so much about after that last image arrived.
