Wow. I guess the necklace might be consider "Takei"

but dogs? So does this mean the military doesn't use dogs to guard the perimeter?

Hell, I wouldn't want to wear a dog. That'd just be awkward. Good on Iran.

Having pets has long been a sign of Western Decadence.

It still startles me that my Bro's in-laws let him bring the dog over when he visits.

Yep, and the freedom those revolutionaries sought was high-jacked by the religious right.

Western decadence? really? Dog ownership goes WAY back to Egyptians (and older) eras.

There is nothing wrong about owning a dog in Iran, if you are a farmer and need the help. But if you have a dog and it does not work, that is a sign of Western Decadence.

I can't stand those damn freeloading dogs. Mooching off of humans and living on the doggie equivalent of welfare.

GET A JOB!

edit: When I think of Persian fashion, the first thing I think of are gawdy gold necklaces.
