Tehran's Rich Kids start own page on Facebook
In a country that has faced years of economic sanctions, the new facebook page for Tehran's Rich Kids (in Persian "Bacheh Pooldarhaay Tehran") has received a lot of attention. Even New York Post has discussed images of Tehran's rich (play)boys and (play)girls in a recent article.
Despite harsh economic conditions, and objections by the mostly underprivileged Basij (pro-leader militia) to the hedonistic lives of Tehran's wealthy, New York Post indicates:
The account has raised eyebrows for many, primarily for its inclusions of alcohol and women without hijabs (the traditional headscarf). Some women appear in short skirts, crop tops and even bikinis. Per Iranian law, women must cover their hair with a headscarf and dress modestly in public.. Alcohol is also forbidden in Iran, although many elites continue to drink in their own homes... Recently, seven Iranian youths were sentenced to jail time and 91 lashes apiece for posting a video of themselves dancing to Pharrell’s “Happy.” Not that the Rich Kids of Tehran have anything to worry about: Many of the teens shown on the account are allegedly the children of Iran’s ruling class... “Most of them have fathers who are untouchable,” an IT consultant in Tehran told the London Times. “If they get in trouble it will disappear.”
