Full title: Bita and her friend Shabnam, at a plastic surgeon’s office in Tehran. She is preparing herself to get Botox injections in her cheeks and lips. Beauty and trying to be beautiful is a part of Iran’s refined culture, but in recent years, the huge popularity of especially nose jobs and Botox has led to a standardisation in faces. Tehran, Iran

GB. ENGLAND. Isle of Wight. Pop festival. Girls with the bouffant hairstyle popular at the time. It was a mainstream hairstyle in the mid-to-late 18th century in western Europe. It was thought to be created for Marie Antoinette, as she had relatively thin hair and wanted to create the illusion of having very full hair. 1969.
