Persian design reminds me . . .

I never posted anything about Michael Jackson.

See, what I first thought of when I read he had died was Persepolis -- because there's a bit where teenage Marjane is stopped in the street by the Guardians of the Revolution (women's branch) for her decadent Western appearance, including a Michael Jackson button.

Thinking quickly, she tries to tell them it's Malcolm X (who was, at least, a Muslim). But even they know better than that.
