Where my heart is
I have what it takes to be a fashion designer
By Farahnaz Zolfaghari
February 2, 2001
The Iranian
The features you are viewing are part of my nightgown collection. In
my sketches, I mostly use ink, pen and watercolor.
My interest in this area goes back to my childhood when I started to
knit and sew various materials to make toys for my friends. As a child,
I used to be exceptionally good in the visual arts, drawing and making
objects >>>

Iranian women's increasingly sought after art
By Carly Butler
February 1, 2001
The Iranian
Review of an exhibition of Iranian women artists at Toronto's A Space
Gallery (January 13 February 17, 2001).
With Iranian women's work becoming an increasingly exotic new art commodity
(see the success of recent art star Shirin Neshat for example), there has
been a danger of the "who" superseding the "what"
the novelty of "Iranian women making art" becoming more important
than critical discourse on "what" they are producing >>>

The PWC will be stronger without me
By Guive Mirfendereski
February 1, 2001
The Iranian
I asked Yacobo how he knew what he knew when he knew it. He said, "There
are two things about Iranians that succeed in failing them every time.
First, Iranians are the strongest when they are least in number."
I prodded him for an explanation. "One Iranian," he said "is
stronger than two, and two Iranians are stronger than three, and so on."
"Second," he offered, "another thing that fails Iranians
is organization. Organization requires discipline and adherence to a set
of objective goals, and thinking Iranians are incapable of both."

The blue pill
The one that turns a Paykan into a BMW
By Siamack Baniameri
January 31, 2001
The Iranian
My long lost uncle calls me from Iran after twenty years in the middle
of my favorite show. He probably wants money.
"What can I do for you?" I asked.
"Send me the pill."
"Excuse me? The what?"
"The pill, you know -- the blue pill."
"Advil?"
"Not Advil you idiot. The pill. The one that makes the dead man rise
from the coffin." >>>

Pragmatic and human reasons for respecting religious values
By Majid Tehranian
January 31, 2001
The Iranian
This article is in reply to Sohrab Mahdavi's "Minority
rule".
Islam happens to be the religion of over 90 percent of Iranians. In
my open letter I have tried to appeal on the one hand to the highest values
in our Islamic-Iranian traditions of civility, but on the other hand to
give warnings on religious intolerance and monopoly of power by a religious
faction >>>

Reza Pahlavi should fly to Tehran
By Omid Ashraf
January 31, 2001
The Iranian
I read "Citizen Pahlavi" and must say I wholeheartedly agree.
But I have some suggestions. Aqa Reza should approach this like starting
a new business. The premise being: "Will the people of Iran buy my
product, that is, do they want a government that revives their rich history
and gloried past?" >>>

What future
... for Iran?
By Manoutchehr M. Eskandari-Qajar
January 30, 2001
The Iranian
The immediate reaction to the mention of monarchy, in Iran, and most
everywhere else, is the conjuring up of the image of absolutism in diametrical
opposition to what is now considered to be the preferred from of government
of, by, and, above all, for the peoples of the world everywhere, democracy.
Much of the antipathy towards monarchy, however, has to do with a false
dichotomy set up between it and democracy >>>

Minority rule
Shiism has a problem with majority rule
By Sohrab Mahdavi
January 30, 2001
The Iranian
The affable letter of Majid Tehranian ["Rah-e
sevom"] once again proves how well-meaning thinkers lodged abroad
are incapable of grasping the most elementary factors that figure into
the equation of power in the Islamic Republic, and how by appealing to
commonplace reasoning they are only out to satisfy their sense of nostalgia
and sentimentalism about Iran without wanting to return until their fanciful
ideals have seen the light of day >>>

We'll give Mr. Pahlavi a chance, if...
By Kobra Khanom
January 29, 2001
The Iranian
I believe we should give Reza Pahlavi a chance. I believe he is sincere
and honest. Let's face it. The guy will never be caught stealing raincoats
from department stores. I can vouch for that. And as for the wealth his
father, mother, aunt and others stole, he could and would be willing to
pay it back with community work for the rest of his life >>>
