Ramadan
Silks of moon-lace
Entertain the doorway,
as sweet oils scent
the lamp.

Down the streets of
Tehran voices carry.

Just as a new
sound parts
the entrance of
Crescent mortar.

It's the day of
Ramadan, she's
Naturally
Craving -

Everyone's
Hijabs are
Demurring -
Whispering their
Enveloping secrets

Dynamic assertive designer
shoes upon the feet
of women who shop here,
peeking out- beneath.

Tinkling bells
Above the shop,
She looks delighted,
There's a specific

- pause -

She's clearly shaken

He sees her almonds gleam
those tinny bells laugh at
His concerns, as
They announce
His very presence.

This image is from the series of paintings that Makan Emadi calls his 'Islamic Erotica' series. They investigate how Muslim women in hijab might be represented in the Western style of pin-up art. For the series, Emadi imagines his women as calendar girls. You are viewing Ms. January.

    Women do Love their shoes …the influence of American ‘Classic pinup shows in Makan Emadi portraits of his “Isalamic Marilyn,” (I checked out his website)
    ……Thanks for the cultural view >>> Mosaic art of colored stones, shells and ivory I truly Love the Byzantine mosaics
HAHAHA yes it is true! Anywhere you go, world-over, if a woman has the funds, she'll buy beautiful shoes (well...most women)

It's not so much that his work is especially well crafted, it's that I liked the ideas and the spirit behind them so much. Glad you took the time to take a peek!
