Palestinian women come in all shapes, colors and sizes, with different beliefs, different religions and different ways of life. This isn’t a well known fact, yet. In this article I’d like to look at the beauty from within as well as from without.

                      Palestinian pinups, come from within a
                      culture of dissent. The women are usually
                      depicted as beautiful rather than sexy, but
                      they are definitely an idealized depiction of
                      femininity. The Palestinian pinup is regal,
                      wears traditional embroidery and most
                      typically a head scarf. The art isn’t just
                      decorative, it has symbolic meaning within
                      every element of the composition.
