[jamal18]

Damn they are ugly! Poor guy, couldn't find a single decent looker even after 84 wives

The man could pick any woman, and he picked these!

He really got a weird fetish for mustache.

He really got a weird fetish for mustache.

And unibrow.

 

[Shapur]

I am abit speechless. The Shah certainly had an interesting taste in women.

 

[Hyperion]

Oh ****. There is ugly and there is obnoxious. What the hell did I just see. I don't think that I can ever get rid of those images from my mind.

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Sometimes the beholder is mental.

Then he should have been a blind or the invention of the camera could have delayed so we won't be tortured aesthetically today.

I heard that it was very desired in Persia, especially uni-brows. I'm guessing these women were very attractive for their era.

All of them have heavy eye brows and mustache, shah had weird sense of beauty.
Dill chahta hai shah ko gooli maar doun, how comes he collected ugliness under one roof?

They are male actors and who dressed as women for the stage

Watch the documentary.. it says that the wives who didn't have a mustache would paint one to be competitive with other wives of the Shah and paint the eyebrows to make them look like a uni-brow. However gross it may sound like today, it was what he liked back then!

In this case beauty was in the eye of the beer holder if you catch ma drift.

Were these really the beauty standards of Iran in those times?

 

[SALMAN F]

Handsome Iranian Pahlavis together with these bastard qajars who were Non-Iranian in every sense. You explained it yourself.

They were Iranians but they were Shia who toke religion over nationalism and they were selfish scum
