ordinary family photos are not sexy, or are they?

Family photos of Hedyeh Tehrani, famous iranian actress, are so hot these days in Iran. (There are even fake photos). I don't know who has published these photos on the Net and what was his or her real purpose. What I do know, however, is that these photos have nothing unsual for a non-iranian viewer. Meanwhile I'm sure that Iranian people find it extremly unusual, hot and even erotic. This is because nobody in Iran has ever seen her body or her hair in a film or even in public, for Islamic laws prevent Iranian women to apear in public without covering their body and their hair (thanks God, not their faces though, like many Arab women). Aside from the fact that these photos might result in serious damages to her carrer as a successful and well-paid actress in the future, they can also reveal the huge gap between the private and public lives and values of Iranian people, which is absolutely an outcome of extreme Islamic rules and religon-derived traditional culture.
