Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

Wise, funny, and heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.

Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life. Marjane's child's-eye view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, with laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love.

Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return

Here is the continuation of Marjane Satrapi's fascinating story. In 1984, Marjane flees fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in Vienna. Once there, she faces the trials of adolescence far from her friends and family, and while she soon carves out a place for herself among a group of fellow outsiders, she continues to struggle for a sense of belonging.

Finding that she misses her home more than she can stand, Marjane returns to Iran after graduation. Her difficult homecoming forces her to confront the changes both she and her country have undergone in her absence and her shame at what she perceives as her failure in Austria. Marjane allows her past to weigh heavily on her until she finds some like-minded friends, falls in love, and begins studying art at a university. However, the repression and state-sanctioned chauvinism eventually lead her to question whether she can have a future in Iran.

As funny and poignant as its predecessor, Persepolis 2 is another clear-eyed and searing condemnation of the human cost of fundamentalism. In its depiction of the struggles of growing up--here compounded by Marjane's status as an outsider both abroad and at home--it is raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.

Super Awesome
I have the driest feet, my mom did too so I should have known that I would inherit it as an adult myself. My toes literally crack and split open from dry skin, I call them fissures. They really hurt. Last night I used my cheese grater foot file gently on my heels and calloused parts, and then applied liberal lotion, and wore those squishy socks all night. I woke up to the most moisturized youthful feet I’ve ever seen attached to my body! Wow these totally work!!! I even slept better than I have in a very long time. I’m very pleased. These did exactly what I hoped they would do.

Amazing!

Wow, what to say about this glitter spray. If you want to cosplay as a Twilight vampire, buy this spray. Haha. I’m not even kidding. I got this spray for going to a concert - one of the few occasions I go all out in getting dressed up. I LOVE sparkly/shiny/glittery things, so this spray seemed like an obvious choice. I did a very light, quick spray over my face/neck and OH. MY. GOSH. “I look like a vampire from Twilight.” My first thought/words after looking at myself in the mirror. My mom got a pretty big kick out of it and couldn’t stop giggling because that’s all she could think about afterward whenever she looked at me. I expected this spray to be something I’d have to spray multiple coats of, but absolutely not. This is a one and done spray. The glitter is HIGHLY CONCENTRATED. Very, very sparkly with multifaceted color sparkles - not just silver. I got some on my hair when I sprayed myself, so I went ahead and sprayed the back of my hair too. Didn’t put any kind of film or anything in my hair. I was still able to brush it and do everything else as if there was nothing in my hair. At the end of the night, it washed off very easily. I will say as a pointer, unless you want your hair or clothes to have glitter on them as well, then you should apply this glitter spray BEFORE you get dressed and you should wear a shower cap/bag/something to cover your hair while applying. However, it works just fine on your hair and clothes as well - no staining or damage. The can looks small BUT with how little you have to use, one can will go a very long way. I could go to 10 concerts and I’m pretty sure this can would still be more than half full. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

SO SPARKLY!
Number of Items: 1
IT MADE ME SO SHINY! I love this spray so much. It dries quickly and lasts a while. Even though the bottle is small, a little bit goes a long way. It is easy to apply and is small enough you can carry it around so you can glitter other people, since people will definitely ask! I have used this one bottle many times.

For Those Who Love A LOT of Glitter
Number of Items: 2
This glitter is for those that love lots of glitter. It sprays out in abundance quickly and lasts in hair. After I ran a 5k, the glitter in my hair was still in tact in full effect. It had shed off of my clothes for the most part, but good for lasting in hair.
