Amir Normandi: 12 Postcards

Along with our hot new redesign, we hear from the Gawker Media business development team that there are other big developments on the way here at Fleshbot. Top of the list is the soon-to-be-launched Fleshbot.ir; our legions of readers in Tehran have been asking for it for a while now, and you know us ... always eager to please! All that we're waiting for now is our trademark registration for Burkaslip™ of the Week to go through, which promises to be the new blog's most popular feature. In the meantime, here's a teaser of what the future has in store in the form of photographer Amir Normandi's provocative photo essay entitled "12 post cards for Muharram", part of a larger project to call attention to the plight of women in present day Islamic culture. Human rights activism never looked so sexy.
